Dedicated to BigBadBabar...
This post probably belongs in BBV or the LC thread, but I don't mind if a mod wants to move/delete this after BBB has seen this...
These graphs represent my return to online poker since the 1-year hiatus in the post-Party era mainly at 2/4 and 3/6 FR with some 5/10 mixed in. This one is June-August: This one is since September 1st: Obviously, I could just be running hot for 4,000 hands, but I like to think that it had more to do with the leak fixing I did with BBB during my break. This is a testament to that you can find people on 2p2 who can really help your game. Thanks Babar. Also, special thanks to NinaWilliams and Jeffage, for without their support I would not have been able to survive my 100BB(and counting?) live-Midstakes downswing. |

Agreed. BBB is by far the most improved player I know. His succinct analysis is outstanding. I'm a huge fan.

Re: Dedicated to BigBadBabar...
How about posting what some of those leaks were and how you fixed them?

Re: Dedicated to BigBadBabar...
Leaks:
[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]I was defending/completing too liberally in the blinds, both in multiway pots and HU. I would defend nearly any 2 getting 9:1, any was also too liberal HU in steal spots. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]My WTSD was too low(24%!?) and my aggression on all streets was too high meaning that I was raise/folding too much when I should have just called down TPTK. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]My flop aggression was way too high (4+) meaning that I was raising too often for free cards and would get punished with 3bets coming back to me, check-raising too much OOP when I should have played passively and called down and let villains bluff. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]I was stealing too liberally from the CO/HJ when there were still loose players who would coldcall. or aggro players who would 3-bet me light. I was stealing too much in those spots and not enough on the button. |

If you're going to be cold called and have to play out of position, you need to adjust appropriately. You can't just say I'm in steal position. |

[/ QUOTE ] Jeffage's life is one great big downswing, if anyone can relate to a 100BB+ downswing live its him (and me, but I am not in AC anymore) - he is a fantastic player and a great guy. My solution was to stop playing midstakes live, I couldn't mentally fade the variance because I don't play enough. Online I play enough that swings don't phase me provided I am playing well. |
