Last 10k Hands of Breakeven Poker Review

0

Hey guys, I need to make this a daily thing, but I definitely learned a lot about my game and what I need to improve based on going over my last 10k losing hands. It took about 3 hours this afternoon but it was well worth it. Here are all my losing hands over 50bbs in the last 10k hands.

Definitely one of my worst and poorly thought out hands of the day. I understood the bb has a very high squeeze percentage in this spot so I was attempting to set up a situation for that. Additionally, I knew the CO was a thinking player who could also see the big blinds stats and understand that I could have AA here. The big problem is that the CO also has a high fold to 3bet stat so when he calls, I think AQ is at the bottom of his range and while I think he can fold up to jacks, there is also a stronger than normal likelihiood he has a hand like QQ or AK that he wont fold to me. For 150bbs I need to make better decisions.

Against a player that is good in position, won't fold middle pairs on the turn, and my image against him, this is simply a fold on the turn.

Made sort of a hero play on this hand but I like my play and thought there were plenty of floats/missed draws in his range to justify the play

There is a lot of backstory on this hand. 3 minutes before we were playing heads up and he once again called a 4bet OOP with Kjo/on the flop of 9xx he check called. Turn was a J and he c-c all in. My plan originally was that he would be bluffing off all hands and I thought that he was tilting terribly. The problem was that his turn bet just seemed so weighted in value based on timing and size, that I was more concerned with my future plans for the hand. I think its simply a fold on turn or definitely on the river.

I think in the future I need to fold some of these. With the crazy amount of 3betting in these games I am sometimes overlooking there is a massive difference between being able to 3bet a ton and being able to 5bet bluff shove.

KK vs AA loser

Ran into the top of his range here, dont mind my play at all, just need to know in the future his 3bet calling range and 4betting range utg vs blinds is crazy tight

AA < TT

http://weaktight.com/4308970

This board definitely reinforces a read I have on most regs right now, I think you guys can probably guess the read even if I just had too much equity to ignore it here.

http://weaktight.com/4308994

Really terrible leveling adjustments by me and very good by him after he 4bet bluffed earlier in a similar situation and he knows that I can do this light. I need to ease up on the 5bet bluffs for sure

http://weaktight.com/4309010

4bet bluff this hand please! There is not enough history here for me to just call the 3bet OOP

http://weaktight.com/4309015

DO A BETTER JOB FINDING 5bet bluff spots!

http://weaktight.com/4309019

Another spot where I need to use my abilities as a good post flop player and stop playing their game of getting into 3 and 4bet bluffing wars.

http://weaktight.com/4309021

Reitereate everything I said above, CMON GRANT

QQ vs AK

AK vs KK

http://weaktight.com/4309024

FPS here by me

AA vs JJ

http://weaktight.com/4309034

Not really worth talking too much about this one because its a full house and really the only hands im worried about are quads or 666. But I was going to be thrilled to call a shove from the first player, the second player I was obviously hoping would shove a missed draw, but I sort of think this is the hero fold and I did tank here.

TT vs QQ

http://weaktight.com/4309046

Couldn't beat a combo draw with top two

AK vs QQ

http://weaktight.com/4309057

Love my play, really unfortunate that he hit the perfect card to get paid

AQ vs KK CO vs BUT

AK vs QQ

AK vs AK vs JJ

JJ vs AK

(I did not practice my flipping abilities while on hiatus)

Man this is a tricky spot, He is on 3 tables, he limps a decent amount, he has limp reraised AA before, 26/14. Overall low aggression factor, scary line for sure. I think ultimately the line trumps everything else and I should be folding here. One of my friends said snap fold so I think that says a lot and its a bad call by me.

http://weaktight.com/4309103

Really interesting spot here. This player is capable of bluffing by checkraising turns and rivers. He is also capable of trying to extract thin value in this spot. Finally I think my image is something of a station, and we have a ton of history bluffing in weird spots.

http://weaktight.com/4309135

Cooler against a fish

http://weaktight.com/4309145

Interesting spot because I know what he has here- AJ/AT, and I would go as far as to say that I would bet for value any sets or 89 that I could have here. I think this is a pretty good spot to overbet shove. Even knowing what the opponent has is not enough, I should also know that he is probably not capable of folding a good two pair and he doesn't know I would value bet sets here.

http://weaktight.com/4309157

How did this not work!?!?!? I know hes a fish but god damn I was not on his level here.

http://weaktight.com/4309163

Missed a huge draw and he wouldn't fold a really weak relative hand here

http://weaktight.com/4309171

Not a great river card for me but there are too many bluffs in his range for me to fold.

http://weaktight.com/4309179

Easy adjustment to make is to donk with big hands against this guy for awhile now.

http://weaktight.com/4309185

K2 is definitely a light open from the CO but I am trying to isolate a fish in the bb. Really shocked when the pot wasn't shipped to me when he just called. After this and knowing he won't pay off super light, I tightened up a little because I expect a 40+ VPIP guy to always shove at some point in this hand.

http://weaktight.com/4309192

Uggghhh

http://weaktight.com/4309197

Ughhhhh

AK vs KK

Really happy I took the time to do this, there is so much room for improvement and I hope to utilize what I have learned to finish out the month strong.

Salud!
