5k hands = 20bi

gl

playing lag forces you to focus on handreading - seems you did well today, but swings are quite heavy

GL at NL50 you will need it

prepare for the doomswtich

Well 5k hands looks pretty consistent. I find it hard to believe youre honestly shipping A2o AIPF and having much success. And even if you do, you cant honestly think thats a +EV move no matter what hand you beat. I mean, if someone is CALLING they obviously have something, so you pretty much just sucked out on them I guess right?

I can see making a bunch of weird bet sizes tilting or at least confusing players, especially the cardrunners clones who play 16/13 and see a 1/4 pot bet as a time to raise you when you have AA. I've lost many a stack to those 90/50 donks who are playing for the thrill of it, and to this date there is only 1 possible style I have found that works, and that is just straight up rock. We're talkin 9% vpip only. Against him anyway. You will probably be playing a 13/11 game overall adjusting to him, but it's really the only thing that works. You're going to be shipping flops and turns with KK and if he wants to call with a pair of jacks, well 9/10 times he's going to lose. These guys may seem to fold to nits for a little while, but eventually their insatiable appetite for gambling will come in to play and they'll just HAVE to call your raise with 68s, hit 2 pair and think they've finally "got you" when you had a set the whole time.

This really impressed me, and next session I started to play like a maniac running 50/50 first 20 hands on my tables and them slowly "tighten" up to consistent 31/28 with ton of 3betting and I found it really working great.

I've had a lot of success doing this too, but the real success just came from the image I set. By the time I had "cooled down" to a more "reasonable" 30/28 game, I was still in there with hands that had lots of potential, and people were just expecting me to be playing junk and getting caught off-guard with real hands. By then they're just paranoid I'm on some crazy heater at the table.

If your fancy plays at NL20 are actually working, the only thing I can think of is that those donks are also trying their own fancy plays that are failing. Bottom pair should never really have showdown value at this limit, the fact that it does says more about THEM than it does for YOU.

he said he made others ship A2o aipf

I am probably too bad in english and typed it wrong : "People started tilt agains me and did a fancy plays with bottom pairs and shipping A2o preflop etc" They started to make fancy moves against me and they ship their money in with A2o vs my AK preflop ...

"the real success just came from the image I set" ... This is all what I am talking about, if you want action, you need to get action to people first, I am trying to put a lot of pressure on them preflop and on flop, with minimum costs but with good result in my image. Sometimes I fire discutable 2nd barrel or do some weird bluff with FD and 1 over on the turn for 1 stack, but dont understand me wrong - most of the time I play solid str8forward postflop, but there is a lot of value play as many pots as is possible with fish, even when your only move is cbet 1/2 pot on the flop and they fold like 50%, you show a profit.

Thank you. Maybe I typed it right :D

Whoops, my bad. Sounds like your timing is just really good. You raised enough times preflop with 67s and 55 UTG that when they start playing back, you have QQ and AK more often to their surprise.

thats a really crazy high win-rate sir :D

sick run.havent run that good since.... ever :D
