Official JUNE thread: Goals, Winrates, General Discussion, etc

[tcorbin16]

sorry, i coulda sworn i told you about 2 + 2 maybe i didn't because i was multi tabling. just sayin holla at the tables because you are another 2 + 2 guys. anyways gl at the tables.

gotten about 44 hours in so far, which is under the target of 120 hours...but... its mostly because i'm en fuego, and also have spent a lot of time doing non-poker things. which is good.

+$27,282, running at a nice consistent 9.3 ptbb/100 at 3/6. So, I'm well ahead of pace for my primary goal. (6-tabling at big winrate > 5-tabling at moderate winrate)

Other goals:
- take shots at 5/10? hasnt happened yet.
- work on play in reraised pots? has happened a lot. I think its getting better.
- bluff less often? definitely has improved lately, and is probably a big reason for the increased winrate.
- practice changing gears? i tried to play 30/22 LAG once... it didnt work. so, we'll stick with TAG for now and gradually open it up.

Negatives:
-Played many more donkaments than 1/week. Definetely down over a thousand in them.
-For some reason thought it'd be cool to play 5/10 PLHE, not a good idea.

Positives:
-Have averaged 1727 h/day, above my goal of 1500 hands.
-Have weathered a massive downswing, and playing very well.

Neutrals:
-BB is only 2.54, well below goal of 5; However, it's my first month at 2/4NL, lots of learning to do.

I need to work on this. 2/4 is full of freaking calling stations.

I'm finding that people are calling down lighter and calling preflop raises more liberally than at 1/2. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Also I have a very very good image with all the regulars, time to sit back and exploit it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Man, 3/6 is way worse. I was able to bluff pretty successfully in 2/4 against weak-tight players, but at 3/6 theyre calling me down light. So... I just value-fakebluff more now. Its great!
