Update: Time for a Comeback.... JUST LIKE DUKE!!! WOW WHAT A COMEBACK!!!! DOWN 10 with 2 minutes left, BUZZER BEATER 3 POINTER FOR THE WIN!!!!.... AMAZING IM SO PUMPED
Hey guys, just watching the Duke UNC game and because I am expecting nothing but bad things to happen to Duke during it, I am trying to lower my blood pressure and accomplish something during it. I have had a very tough last two days, I lost 10bi on Sunday, two or three too many even though they actually came in 3 sessions of some frustrating play. I then played Monday and ran 8bi below ev and lost another 5 so hopefully the work away from the tables will pay off later tonight. As always here are the biggest losing hands.

120bbs deep, I think I need to mix it up more with calling more in position as opposed to now I think I am getting it in a little light here.

Such an unusual spot here. I thought he would fold in this spot if he did not have a J in his hand, but I think if I check even the most passive regs will win this hand 100% of the time. Therefore, I thought given his limited range of jacks (I thought he would 4bet JJ preflop) so he could really only call me with some weird flushes and TJ that the shove here would be slightly more +ev than check folding.

Fold the freaking river Grant! CMON

Unlucky against a fish

This for sure was a fold I can make on the river although he was capable of some tricky weird things, there are just so few hands and bluffs he can have here.
http://weaktight.com/4353493
I feel very confident that this fold is quite good against this type of player in this spot.
http://weaktight.com/4353495
This is definitely a spot that I have been known to triple barrel with a lot of frequency, but I just don't think my image was in the right spot for it and I think his range is quite strong on the turn when he calsl my biggish bet.
http://weaktight.com/4353496
I think a pretty standard triple barrel spot. I opted to go on the small side here with my river bet because it was such a scare card but with his actual hand there really is no betsize that would take him off his hand.
http://weaktight.com/4353497
Tough spot here, but with the backdoor flush draw getting there as well as the four liner straight coming in, I think there are just too many value combos here for him to bet so this is a fold.
http://weaktight.com/4353499
Just not getting the correct odds to call the shove here. Quite surprised to see him shove but I think if you are simply check folding these boards than A) you are being exploited too much against a wide cbetting range, 2) you are missing some nice opportunities to not only steal pots but to potentially set up some big hands when your backdoor draws come in
http://weaktight.com/4353501
With such a small 3bet, I am normally quite happy to call even marginal hands in position in an attempt to suckout. I think another play that I could have utilized here was to call flop and shove turn or even call two streets and only go all in with a made hand.
http://weaktight.com/4353502
Man this guy has a wide range for 4 and 5 betting range, it is a shame I ran into the top 5%.

99 vs AK
http://weaktight.com/4353504
Rather standard shove for me heads up. If I had to reevaluate my play here, I don't think I judged his level of tilt all that well. We were playing HU on two tables and he was losing a fair amount of pots so I figure that he was just determined to make a stand. In the future I do need to judge better where his mindset is while playing.
http://weaktight.com/4353506
I think in spots like this, I am better off against constant button 3bettors to fold more hands like 55-77 and to use hands such as A3ss/KJo/KT etc to 4bet bluff with more hand removal. Problem is that I folded to about 6 3bets in a row in this position throughout the night and felt like I needed to take a stand but although I know his 3betting range, I am unsure as to what his 5bet shoving range is. It could be overly tight thus making my 4bet quite poor or he was going to 5bet a huge range and I got unlucky, I definitely think it is more likely his 5betting range is very tight compared to his 3betting range.
QQ vs AK

Ughhhh
http://weaktight.com/4353511
Man really strange hand. My thought process was that this was a very small 4bet, he has a wide 4betting range, but I have never seen him make this play before. I certainly could have folded here, and while I normally would say a shove here isnt terrible because it looks like AA or bluffs most of the time and I block AA, I have trying to be much more selective with my 5bet bluff shoving range, so I opted to call and just to try and hit a big hand knowing he was aggro postflop. The flop was simple because I think calling is the only play. On the turn, I opted to call the shove because I thought some nutted hands like AA or AK would check back the turn a decent amount of the time, and if he had hearts or any 8 in his hand I expected him to shove the turn as a bluff, so I think I am forced to call here. Overall a very tough spot. I'm just wondering how strong my range looks on the flop. Would he view me to call the flop with hands that are less than Ax? If he does not, then all of the sudden his shoving range becomes quite strong by comparison because then the only hands he shoves are Ax (I can beat a few), any 8x, or heart draws.

Ughhh

Man there are plenty of reasons to call in this spot because he is one of the few regular big fish I play with, but ultimately those are just poor justifications for a bad call. Definitely some tilt showing off with this call.
http://weaktight.com/4353516
I like the shove on a different river card, but I really should have been worried here about this sort of hand so I think a call is the better play.
http://weaktight.com/4353518
This was a 90% vpip aggro fish. I actually misclicked preflop obviously I would have been thrilled to get the money in. After the preflop mistake, he was barreling with such a weird variety with such a wide range that I really could not do too much else but call down and pray.

(by the end of these two days I was scared to death to be dealt QQ)

Unlucky

There are a few players on merge that play pretty normally in a 6max game but will also play me heads up and start with 50 or 60bbs and then they totally lose their minds. This is one of those guys so while I was not thrilled to see his line I thought I could still beat some of his value range and obviously he also has to have some bluffing range here as well.
http://weaktight.com/4353525
Once I check back the flop after calling a 3bet, I think it is quite easy to create a showdown bound range. Once he check calls the turn I think it is quite easy to comprise my range of Tx, 99, 88. Obviously the river strikes that range quite well and I thought he had far more AQ/AK type hands in his range than the range I was attempting to represent. Unfortunately he probably had exactly 99 or 88 which does make sense for him to play in this way.
http://weaktight.com/4353526
Man I really hate this play by me. There are some good cards to triple barrel, but this in no way is one of those. Just a really terrible play.
http://weaktight.com/4353527
Lost the min
http://weaktight.com/4353529
I never even felt like AK would do this here, so I pretty much felt like this was a completely nutted range or nothing. With that said, I just am not seeing this play as a bluff recently so this should be a fold by me.

Some Goals for my Future Sessions:
Less FPS- I think that I am trying to get a little tricky in my turn and river plays, instead I need to be more straight forward in certain spots, and understand that the majority of players are also playing VERY straight forward.
Lower VPIP- My current VPIP is hovering around 30, and while playing 12 tables that is just a little high. I think that making it around 26 or 27 would be ideal.
Don't Play their Game, less 3betting/4betting wars- In certain situations, I need to just be calling more in position, allow them to a certain extent to run me over preflop because I still believe I can catch them always 5bet shoving their 66+ range where I should be tightening mine up.
Limit my sessions to 4 or 5 hours max- anything else is just a little too taxing on the brain and even though I have had mixed results I think in the end it is too much poker
I still also need to be a little more balanced in my negative emotions during sessions. Tilt has never been a big problem with me at the tables, but I do think I have been slightly limited at the end of sessions, and manage to lose .5 bi or more at the very end when I decide to quit. If I am losing and decide to quit I need to do it that second, not wait for all of the blinds to come around.
Hopefully this increased studying can tighten up my game and lead to a big week.
Finally check out my latest CR video, it is one of my best and I think you guys will get a lot out of it.
Salud!
