Hey guys, just got finished reviewing my last three sesssions. Each had small wins in them and a lot of missed opportunities for some bigger wins. As you can see below, not a ton of coolers or a ton of preflop action which normally suits my game quite well. I think everyday I am seeing a lot of improvement and I am certainly working my ass of the last two weeks. I hope to move up to 200nl soon, and I think that I am just about ready to break out a few massive wins. Here are the losing hands over 50bbs as always.

I call so much on the button that I need to balance with plays like this, unfortunate this didn't turn out better.

I just should be shot, didn't know much about the player, thought he was a reg over 50 hands. I certainly need more info to call preflop and turn is probably an awful call as well if not the river.

Everything until the river is pretty standard. He is definitely a tight player 16/13 but at the same time

he is aggressive when he plays hands and I think is the type that takes the easy way out and bets in a lot of situations when he is unsure. Therefore I thought hands like AQ/JJ/TT were still in his range, but at the same time I was particularly worried about 99. I think I can probably fold here but I also thought that AQ would bet from this particular player so its close, would be interested to see what you guys think here.

Missed open ended straight flush draw

QQ < AK

I think my call preflop and flop is rather standard. The turn is an interesting spot because if he is on level one then there arent a ton of hands that I am raising here, but at the same time, its very difficult to find many bluffs. Ultimately I am not trying to fold out Qx or most Jx, but I think there are a ton of better hands that fold here. I think the best play is definitely another call on the turn and be able to take advantage of his exceptionally weak checking range on the river to shove any river card.

http://weaktight.com/4319595

I think I can pretty easily represent AJ/AT suited here, as well as some more thin value like QJ/KQ or a rivered 99. I think there were some rivers that I would not bluff here but his hand felt a ton like KK/jj/kq that he would fold by the river. His exact hand tells mea lot about his play and how I should adjust in the future.

Against a fish that calls flop with 100% of his range, I am perfectly fine with my play here and quite unlucky I think.

QQ < AA

Man this one is a very tought spot. I am playing against a guy that has owned me so far in our history both heads up and in 6max. He has high aggression in a lot of different spots but he continually has shown up in spots with the hands he is repping, so I am uncertain at this time if his timing is just quite good or he really just has run hot against me. In this spot, his timing definitely seemed strong on flop and the turn, and the river seems like a pure value spot, sort of regardless of how he got there. At the same time, he probably understands that I will have a hard time calling wiith non 2 pair+ hand, and I think is a good enough player to understand that because he has been called down in spots where he was repping big hands so that now gives him more room to pull off bluffs. Let me know what you guys think on this one too please.

Pretty gross spot in heads up against a guy that just sort of owned me imo in lucky spots all night last night. I think he shoves to many different rivers here and its unfortunate he hit his only winner.

Unlucky

http://weaktight.com/4323553

Unlucky whole hand here against a fish that donks 75% of hands so I thought a raise here would take down the pot a large percentage of the time, when he called I was totally done with the hand unless I hit my full house which I obviously did to my demise

QQ < AA

http://weaktight.com/4323553

Sort of a questionable call of the three bet but I still think that I have a good grasp of his game postflop and because I will be raising so much junk headsup I think it is ok. The rest of the hand is really standard.

http://weaktight.com/4323576

I like my triple barrel in this spot. I thought based on the 100 hands I had on him that he was a reg fish who would have a very wide range in this spot and I think that the triple barrel on this particular card will be successful a very high percentage of the time. After this hand and a few others on this night, I think that he thinks I am a total maniac, which is a fine image for me to use in the future.

http://weaktight.com/4323591

Had no idea that he could checkraise for value this thinly and then proceed to bet all streets with it. Definitely a good play by him knowing my tendencies and I will need to adjust to this in the future.

QQ < AK

http://weaktight.com/4323597

This is a spot against fish when it is inside their first ten hands that I am perfectly happy making some big calls because often they will just lose their minds early, in this case it did not work out but I am totally fine with it. In fact I got my money back on another thinnish call against him in another 5 hands.

http://weaktight.com/4323606

Man, this is just a poor call, I was shocked when I saw what his actual hand was, but this felt the whole way like AJ/KJ/QJ and I talked myself into that he could be turning 99/TT AQ into a bluff or thin value. Bad call by me here.

http://weaktight.com/4323608

I think this flop call is pretty marginal at best, although I do like my CR bluff on the turn even if it did not work out his aggression on flop and turn is quite high. I think if I had to play the hand again I would just fold flop.

http://weaktight.com/4323612

Gross against the HUGE fish

http://weaktight.com/4323614

Great spot to triple barrel here, but of course he luckboxes my soul and probably turned Kjhh, Athh, Ajhh into a flush by the river which was one of the many hands I was repping to take him off of one pair hands.

http://weaktight.com/4323618

Man I made a bad call on the flop and it led to bigger problems. This guy is a fishy player who makes lots of calldowns. I mistakenly called the flop out of frustration at the time for what was going on. This then led to a necessary turn call but I think I at least regrouped by the river and made the correct fold. I dont think he ever has a hand like JT that I can beat and really the only hand that I can beat on the river is JQ that now beats me so I feel confident in this big fold.

http://weaktight.com/4323626

Really interesting hand here. He only 3bets 8% bb vs sb which is very low for the current landscape of games. I think folding calling and 4betting are all options here but I thought he played rather straight forward and I my hand could still be underrepresented. I have come to realize that these calls out of position with KQ suited are probably break even at best because they also hit boards that my opponents are likely to 3bet like AQ and AK and at the same time I am check folding lower boards too often. The flop when he checked back looked like an AQ/AK or occasional overpair that is scared of my set heavy range on that flop. The turn I think is a very standard bet to fold out AK/AQ. On the river I hit top pair and I think he still has a lot of JJ/QQ type hands as well as hands like Kto Jto that were bluffing preflop that still can call down. When he raises I think the fold is pretty standard based on the reads I have on him as being a very straight forward player with the ability to make a few call downs, but what his range is or what he is making this play with are very confusing to me. I don't think he raises AK for value. I don't think he raises a worse pair as a bluff. I don't think he checks back QJ on flop. Maybe this is a TT preflop hand that thought he dominated the board and wanted me to bluff? Maybe 9x hh that got there? I am not sure.

Outside of poker I have been playing a ton of golf which for January is just amazing. My cigar buddies and I found a great course for 20 dollars with cart and a 7 dollar replay rate! That is less than a dollar a hole so the value is amazing. We have been having a ton of fun and I have collected on a number of cigar bets and so far have bested my main golfing buddy/competition so far this year. Still a lot of things to work out especially my driving which still goes 300 yards but often that includes 50-100 yards of slice and my chipping. If I can get the rest of my game up to par with my irons and putting than I think I can consistently break 80 by the summer. Hope things are going well for all.

Also, please let me know if there are any Cardrunners video topics that you are interested in me pursuing, look into my coaching because so far this year I have had a lot of success with my two new students, and if you have a leakfinder that you want me to review for CR send it over, pm me or leave me something in the comments section.

Salud!
