I like blogging when I'm winning as opposed to losing because I feel like I can talk about whatever I want. When I'm losing, I feel obligated to talk about how some fish was getting hit by the deck and kept rivering me or whatever.
But yeah after the losing session at NL200, I decided to take a break from NL200 for a few reasons:
1. I don't like to reject games, so I often end up playing some presumably good regs (probably not very +EV)
2. I have to wait too long to get a good game
3. I'm really not in the mood for big swings
I am a HUGE fan of taking shots as fast as possible as long as you have the discipline to move down, but I'm not really in a hurry to try and move up, and I also have to start cashing out some money on a semi-regular basis.
But anyway all that aside, my hourly at NL50 was sickeningly strong because of constant stream of fish, so I thought, "hey, maybe I can like 9+ table NL50 HU". I honestly think I'm +EV doing that, but you can see how that went via my two higher volume sessions. I'm not really sure how my VPIP/PFR dropped so much, but my redline was TANKING. I ran like total crap, but gave an honest review of the sessions and am pretty sure the additional tables didn't make up for my drop in winrate.
If you've been following all my sessions, you might have noticed my 3bet% is a bit inconsistent (especially last session). Originally my 3bet range was something like JJ+,AQ+,air. Air wouldn't really be air so much as Ax,Kx, sometimes Qx (or any two depending on gameflow). I originally didn't want to 3bet hands like KQ for value simply because in a theoretical situation, I would throw up if I got 4bet and it has so much postflop value (good for a c/r on missed boards with usually 6outs). That's changing a bit now; KQ is pretty much like AK in a 3bet pot just without the ability to hero someone, and I'm rarely dominated because those hands 4bet me anyway.
I've noticed when people get tilted from 3bets, they start calling your 3bet with anything they raised pre with. So I pretty much went crazy on my value range this session and it worked out nice. Sometimes they just totally give up trying to fight back and assume they'll stack you when they get a monster, which is hilarious. I have never found someone who 4bets me consistently yet.
But yeah, I picked up on some leaks I have, but I think it's the same leak that everyone has. You know, the one where you have a pretty strong hand like top pair but villain bets big on the river when the middle card pairs, but at the same time all draws miss and you decide whatever call? Only to be shown trips and you realize, "man this guy would never bluff me in the first place!" This is mostly for small/medium sized pots (which I think are the most important pots to win in poker since they're a lot more frequent than bigger pots!). The bigger pots I've been pretty disciplined in folding when I need to.
Okay, it's 6am and I haven't slept. I'm not even sure what I'm rambling about, so I'm going to sleep.
GL at the tables.

Oh, and I've had time to skim SlowHabit's book. From what I've seen, I think it's VERY good material for breakeven small/med players, but it only matters if the person is willing to wok on their game. But I do have some more mixed opinions regarding that. I'll get to it sometime this week, maybe. |

EV means "extrem value"
it shows how much you are getting value from your big hands and/or getting the fish to value town |
