Keeping Warm in Winter

[AAroddersAA]

Gonna play again today. Thinking I should set Table Ninja back up tbh and increase volume as I like the 180"s at the moment as they let you practiced playing different stack sizes. Think I am playing quite well at the moment still.

Check back for updates if you are interested.

[AAroddersAA]

Gave up on the 180"s quite quickly and switched to playing cash on Sky. Won £110 doing that. Sky seems really good value would have thought those people whose goal is to make money at the game would play on a site like this, not sure why everybody seems to play stars which is silly hard.

Anyway I manged to cash in 2 tournaments today and that was for about $3 each.

Month to date:

Tournaments: 61
Total Loss: $84.50

Not having the best of months so far nut think I am playing fine.

Another little session of 180 manners tonight. Hopefully will get nicely warmed up for next weekend. Can"t wait to catch up with everybody again.

[AAroddersAA]

Played 13 so far today, now one tabling with only one ninth place so far.

1/12 in the last one though with 58K which is double average. Can change so quick in these though

Edit 90K chips going into the final table Average is 30K and second has 44K, could do with a win here tbh.

Just playing a very small session tonight, just 5 games. Down in one already with QQ < AK. Not much happening elsewhere yet.

[AAroddersAA]

Out of 3

2/21 in one with 25K against an average of 13.5K
16/18 in another with 6K against an average of 15K

Got the chip leader to my left in the one I am 2nd in so not feeling overly confident here to be honest

[AAroddersAA]

finished 7th and 18th profit on the day I guess.

Tournaments this month: 101
Total Loss: $40.18

[AAroddersAA]

Been playing a little bit of cash this month and doing OK. Back to studying the 180 man games and other games tonight. Will be playing:-

The big $11
APAT UK Online main event
Some $2.50 180 manners
Some $4.50 180 manners

I am about $70 down in tournaments this month so a heroic escape would be good.

[AAroddersAA]

Thats quite helpful

Thought I would update from last month which was very mixed for me. I played on a few different sites but mainly Stars.

I was down $120 in MTT"s on Pokerstars, don"t think I did too much wrong but just one of those things. They were mainly $2.50 and $4.50 180 manners but did include 1 shot using a Tournament Token at the Big $11.

I won £200 on Sky at cash playing 15p/30p nlhe. I broke even playing a small amount of cash on both Pokerstars and Poker.co.uk.

Reading Mikes new blog made me feel like getting back to the cash tables a bit. I played some cash on Pokerstars as I have focused too much on the 180 manners recently and just looking at the overall stats they look OK. I have only played one session this month.

Hands: 544
VP$IP: 32%
PFR: 28%
3-Bet: 13%
Fold to 3-bet: 51.61%
4-Bet: 9%
Total Profit: $25.47

Should have done better really but played this hand very badly

http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/5302502

Other than that pretty standard session. Will try to post some more cash hands this month but still going to play a fair few $2.50 180 manners as I still really want to be good at them.

[AAroddersAA]

I just tried playing a quick session on the FR table. Only 300 Hands to see how that table played. Will have to do another one at some point as 300 hands is nowhere near enough to get a proper read on those tables. I will certainly stick with 6-max as my main game.

Hands: 300
VP$IP: 26.4%
PFR: 24.09%
3Bet: 7.34%
Fold to 3-bet after raise: 20%
4Bet: 0%
Att to Steal: 89.29%
Total Profit: $6.47

Not a lot really happened I lost $5 with QQ into AA and wonder if I can actually get away from this hand on these tables.

http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/5302518

Preflop and flop are probably standard. I do wonder if I should be able to fold the river here, even though my hand is slightly under repped.

I also lost this hand and again wonder if in these games I can fold the flop (I am pretty sure this is standard actually)

Should have done better really but played this hand very badly

Interesting to see someones elses stats. Even though it"s 6 max clearly more agressive than mine. I think big part of improvement comes from analysing hands so I"ll add my penneth for what"s its worth.

I think the problem with 3 bet calling with A7s here is if your behind your often dominated and you are playing oop. If villain stats are really agressive maybe it"s a 4 bet fold. Any stats on him ? He has a full stack so assume he is auto reloading and more likely to be reg. I would prefer a fold pre here but we"ve already identified I fold to 3 bets too often.

The flop  is fine, you have to call now the ace has come.

If you call the turn I think you have to be prepared to call the river unless a queen or possibly a diamond comes. You are only really beating a bluff here or possibly a raggier ace when its a chop. I think may be he is checking behind his big pairs. and any bluffs will tend to be semi bluffs like KJ, or 2 diamonds. So I think its a fold for me unless you have any read on him. But maybe I"m being results orientated and I"m not sure I"d do that in live game.

With the ace appearing to on the river it"s less likely he"s got an ace, and his pot bet is polarised especially in position. So he is betting for value -

most aces that beat you apart from say AJ. 13 combos .
straights 76 QJ (discount J7) 28 combos.
sets that just made full houses - 9 combos.

Assuming he has areasonable holding to be 3 betting pre then he may be bluffing her with -

missed flushes KJ, KT,QT,JT,T9,65 - 6 combos.
Jx - KJ,JT,J9 - 40 combos.

So to make it ev to call he needs to be bluffing 3 streets when he has these holdings 50/46x 5.53/14.62 = 41% of the time. Much too high its a fold for me.

Does that mrror your thoughts on the hand. Hope it helps anyway. Probably not but its helped me to practice hand anlaysis and hopefully make it more automatic and accurate in a live environment when I have much less time.
