reginfested obv

heb zelf wa man in mijn skypelijst da 30+ husngs spelen

not to bring you down or anything, wish you the best of luck anyway

[not2secure4u]

Ja wss wel maar ik denk dat 2 à 3 % wel nog haalbaar moet zijn. Als k daar zit investeer k wss wel een deel van de roll in coaching of whatever. Coach opensits die en haalt een 2% dus is wel nice.

Ok so yesterday I did not update:

Yesterday: +11$



Today: +45$



Happy about my game, started working at the game of a good friend of mine. He got staked for the 3.5's and some interesting stuff came up that helped both of our games when we reviewed the recorded session.

BIG LEAKS = FUN TO FIX

RANDOM DRAMATIC SLINKY

[waffel]

wat waren uw grote leaks dan?

[not2secure4u]

Voornamelijk boards niet 3-barrelen waar villain zijn holdings duidelijk ni beter zijn dan weak top pair otf onder anderen...

[not2secure4u]

A mix of 7's and 15's ! In the 7's I run ok, in the 15's I ran bad. The 15's I play with the coach sweating me so my play was obviously not bad.

So its been a while since I updated. Need to work a bit more for school since exams are coming up. Poker is going good. Some runbad at 15's but whatever, just rebuild and move up.

This is last 7 days:



This is today:



Both small samples but whatever.

Running at 10% in both of them. LOL

Hoe zit dat eigenlijk met rb op die stakes en die games?
Welk VIP level kunde zoal halen en hoe groot is het % aan rb tov uw effectieve ROI van de games zelf?

[not2secure4u]

Goh voor de RB moet ge het niet doen. Als ge gelijk ne zot grind kunt ge daar mss goldstar op halen maar dat moet niet zo leuk zijn ...

[Hellrabbit]

Maar ik kan me best voorstellen dat als ge zoveel games grind en aan (relatief tegen andere games) zo een lage ROI, da ge hopen fee betaalt en wordt RB dan nie een belangrijk deel van uw profit?

[nunji]

de rake in zo nen hu hyper is maar 2%
in de 6max hypers is de rake close to 5% en daar kunde zo veel volume van knallen en de edges zijn veel kleiner dan HU, dus rb is veel belangrijker in die 6max hypers

[not2secure4u]

Klopt. De rake is idd zeer laag in HU hypers in vergelijking met al de rest.

Sooo update time again (yea I know it has been a while, had some finals to sort out).

This is the graph since I started being stakes (basicly a bit before the start of this thread). Atm playing the 15$ HT HUSNG and playing some MTT's.

This was meant to be a 1K post but I did not finish the post. Now I have .

A chat about ranges !

You need to grasp a few concepts to do that (you could tackle them in this order):

• Reading boards
• Assign a range to villain
• Assign a level of thinking to villain
• Find the appropriate bet size

I will try and give some general thoughts and after that I will give some examples. This will probably (hopefully) help you and others (including myself).


Reading boards

Reading boards is probably an art in itself but you just need to figure out a system for yourself on how to read boards. When reviewing you could hypothetically filter out some factors boards have in common.

• Dry boards: K:diamond:7:heart:2:club: and 3:diamond:3pade:7:heart:
• Wet boards: K:diamond:J:diamond:9pade: and A:club:T:club:9:club:
• A high boards
• 2 face cards
• Low boards and so on

Try and make a few for yourself, thinking about it is better than only reading posts. If you want to read up on this I recommend Nikachu's video on CR.com, it is free and has a reaaaaally good discussion about boards. Spamz reviews are also really good if you want to practice on that aspect.

Assign a range to villain

Aaah, here is where it gets (even) hard(er) for alot of people, including myself. Try and see it street by street and see it as a filter. It starts at a very broad range preflop (60% PFR) to really specific (5% 3barrel) who has bet/bet/bet on a 226r board. You probably can safely assume he does not have AK. There are alot of cash game articles to be read about that, just look at the beginners FAQ. But it gets really interesting when you can ...


Assign a level of thinking to villain

This is where the real fun stars. This is probably not really appliccable to really low stakes but it is really important to develop your thinking on this early. Alot of it includes knowing what you and villain line were on several streets. You can (when reviewing) differentiate either by street, action you took or action villain took (among other) and try and get some thoughts going. If villain catched your 3 barreling air on 9TQJ2tt be sure to also implement that line when a valuehand comes up. At the start it really is not easy to work with all that information but if you continue to develop your thinking about the game it will become second nature. HUSNG.com offers heaps of videos that work on that aspect, just take a look at their video list.


Find the appropriate bet size


Now you need to incorporate all of this into your plan. This is easier said than done ofcourse. I tend to do it this way:

1. What was the action on previous streets. He raised PF so you can fold out total junk if his PFR is 40%. On an A72r flop vs an unknown you now have several options as always OOP. Check or bet (I assume you do not open fold, if yes, stop doing it). Make sure that when you make up your mind you have a plan for whatever is gonna happen. A decision tree can help you with that problem. Yes make one action per action street per street. You do not need to do that for every hand as it would take a long time but you can take out one or 2 hands a day. It will get more accurate as you keep doing it.

When I check for example with hand XX on that board (readless) you could think of check-raising, check-calling, check-shoving or check-folding. Knowing something about population tendencies helps you here for sure.

lets look at what villain (unkown) thinks our hand will be and what he will do with his holdings, I will do it for a check-raise:

• Check-raise: if villain did that I would think about A total bluff, a weak ace, a PP, a 7 that wants to check where he is at. Based on population tendencies (for low to micro stakes) I think its more a weak ace than a strong one if villain took that line on a rainbow board. It can be A 7 more then a PP and maybe it is a bluff more than a PP. This is just a hypothetical example showing you that you can weigh factors depending on his range PF. A crucial topic to understand is combinatorics. There is some info on this in the beginners forum I think (or do a search). It is crucial to know that there are more AX hands in that PF range than PP for example. It helps you weigh stuff.

Another real important aspect that you should read up on is elastic or static ranges. Elastic is where you can bet a various size on a board and still get a call. When you know villain is calling either 70/120 or 120/120 you can probably bet more with value and less with air if villains respons like this. When he has a static range you can reverse it. Bet more with weak holdings because villain only calls up to X Y Z with X Y Z range.

There is alot to be said about this, I hope I help some of you guys on the way.
