Ouch...Bad Run

Ok, so my quest to find a decent flat has now finished. Found a sweeeet one yesterday, move in on Tuesday. Will hopefully post some pics when I get everything organised - if anyone can tell me how to do that, it will be muchos appreciated. It's brand new and fitted to a very high standard which obviously is all good.

I've played quite a lot over the last couple of days. I played 2/4 yesterday, and 1/2 today. Had some brutal suckouts, gave myself about 6/10 yesterday, 5/10 this afternoon and 8/10 tonight. After my poor afternoon session, I decided to watch a couple of CR vids and I really picked up a lot. God knows why I don't watch every one of them, every time I do watch them I just learn a ton. I played a lot better in the evening, but the cards just didn't fall in my favour. I was getting my money in in decent spots with solid hands/draws but I just couldn't win the pot. I also made much more use of my HUD as well, that helped a lot. Often it's been the case for me that I just look at stuff like position and my hand rather than my opponent's tendencies. I was focusing on that a lot more and it worked pretty well. I had to deal with a couple of sick 2 outers though. Here's some hands.

Opponent showed no strength, so I value bet my tptk on the river. He obviously had 2 pair.

AK allin for 1/2 a buyin. Obviously he has AA. Didn't even realise he limped UTG till just now :-)

Nice play, buddy. Thanks for the 2 outer.

I felt this line had the best chance of getting max fold equity against an overpair. He tanked it up big time before shoving. I'd do this again all day.

Some things do go my way...

Hmmm... Can I ever win with top set against a flush draw?

If I could play this hand again, I'd shove the turn. But opponent was over-aggro 2+2er so I figured he'd hang himself on the river.

Dunno what this guy had. He only raised 3% of the time, as well.

Merci beaucoup, poisson

Poor guy. Maybe he can get away from it, but he wasn't very good anyway.

I'd have put a lot of money on him having AK here :-)

And that's about it basically. I'm gonna go out playing fruits tomorrow and watch a couple of CR vids as well.

I hope everyone is running well, and hopefully I will too :-)

FP.

  • Some comments on the hands you posted...

    AQs from BB. I'm not huge fan of pre-flop. On flop I think multiple lines are +EV. Pushing with no FE gives you pretty much 0EV if he's JJ+. Calling his small raise is +EV if you put together FD+partial outs from A. What I like about your line is that he's choices are pretty much push/fold, so you're getting the same benefits than from pushing yourself + better FE since this looks a lot like set played against a TAG like him.

    TT hand I agree with your comment.

    22 hand is sweet.

  • On the hand that you don't know what villian who raised 3% had I think it has to be QQ-KK... maybe JJ.

    Lots of fun similar to what i am seeing at the tables.
