You never folded your blind to a steal in 2.5k 50NL hands and never attempted to steal. But won @ 20ptBB100?
Ummmmmm, nice.

Edit: Is this HU or something?

Honestly, I see nothing here that's too outrageously bad.

In the first hand you've got second set and the nut flush draw; all-in when villain is interested works just fine for me. You win this hand a ridiculously large fraction of the time.

Hand #2 is funny, but only because if you're not laughing you're crying or climbing a bell tower to take out coeds with a high-powered rifle.

Hand #3 is never a fold. Villain has naked Ks here all the time, and diamond flush draws are certainly possible as well (especially combo draws with a straight card or pair+FD stuff). Folding this hand is a leak, not a skill.

Hand #4 I don't particularly like. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Other than the turn shove, I'm OK with it. Instead of shoving, you should either be smooth-calling and reevaluating on the river or folding. Considering that you have position I'd probably smooth-call more than I'd fold, but shoving seems...a bit much. Betting the flop and the turn are mandatory to charge the draws, in case villain has something like 66 or A5. The preflop call / flop call / turn check-minraise is a spooky, spooky line, and it often indicates that you can let your overpair go. This is read-dependent, though.

Hand #5 looks standard -- you showed weakness when the A hit and your river call is crying in case villain is bluffing. You're ahead of pretty much everything you were ahead of on the flop, and not much has really caught up that lived through the flop bet. This seems like a standard crying call to me.

The only real comment I have is that your preflop strategy could use some work.

In Hand #1 I'm usually raising to $3 instead of $2.50 -- 4xBet seems like a nice round number. You can't bet lighter with your ultra-premiums or you give away too much information (unless you're doing this with a read of some sort).

In Hand #2 a reraise might be appropriate (table-specific, of course). JJ three-way doesn't hold up as well as JJ heads-up, and the added folding equity of a raise is quite beneficial. Otherwise, you're basically turning JJ into 22 and playing for set value. That's OK, but it's not necessarily optimal (depending, of course, on your opponents).

In Hand #5, I'd be three-betting to either $4 or $5 preflop -- you're in the blind, and you need to punish the thieves more severely than 3x bet. You want maximum folding equity here for when you're three-betting a bit lighter and really don't WANT a call. If you three-bet heavy with TT or AQ, you should three-bet just as heavily with KK and AA. Disguise your hand by playing them all the same. Also, realize that OOP with KK you're going to suffer massively from reverse implied odds (RIO) in the hand if you let it go easily, so you want to get as much money in while you're nearly sure you're ahead as humanly possible to cut down on villain's odds with the hand.

Don't beat yourself up over these hands -- they don't look that bad to me.

[NL Newbie]

No, they're not "that bad". However with my 'experience' i should not be making stupid plays like i have done.

I'm very strict, i could chalk alot these down to varience "set over set ah well". However, its not the case(well, the JJ vs 98 one is lol).

Hand 3 for example - Horrible turn play.

could of saved alot, these are the hands that make the difference between a big winner/great player and an average player IMO.

I played below average, however - I will learn, i'm now going to play focused or not at all.

Thats the rule, see how tonight goes. (well...3am onwards).

[RichAM]

i may actually shoot myself if my ISP keeps pissing me off

i called them and told them it was lagging and they said it does that sometimes ... i'm like, IM PAYING $50 A MONTH IT BETTER NOT BE LAGGGGGGGGGGGGING

they said they were sorry and now i get a free month but i can make more then the damn $50 if they just keep it up and running for i can play on tilt

FAWK YOU JETBROADBAND

[Mr_Pathetic]

I am about to make a new hud layout and I think I am going to go with just

VPIP/PFR/callPFR/AFrequency/Went2SD

Too basic or too much? I think I been relying on the cbet stuff too much and the fold to turn stuff when all that matters is what part of their range that beats me folds to my bet on whatever street I am betting.

[Mr_Pathetic]

good choice think ill do two combined stats with

VPIP/PFR/CPRF/AFreq
Att2Steal/went2SD/#ofhands

[thac]

Oh my God, I'm value-betting so thinly again, I pretty much feel great about my game again.

Graph and stuff when I get done with session (hopefully gonna clear the WCOOP reload bonus tonight [700 base fpp to go])
