So there are so major differences in 6m and fr, and I haven't done the best job of identifying them, and i'm playing poorly because of it. I have to understand what makes full ring so profitable, and get away from spots that are costing me money.

With the way the 6m is evolving it is becoming more and more important to thin value whenever it is there. However, I know that full isn't even close to being as far a long in the process. Even though I am aware of this I have been getting a little crazy trying to go for really thin value when it isn't even there. When I do this I get myself into really disgusting spots, and I am making a ton of wrong decisions because of it.

I got pretty good at going for 3 streets of value w tp type hands, but it just isn't there at fr. If I have AK and flop TPTK the most I can ever hope to get is two streets of value. So if that means checking behind and potting turn and river, that might be better than betting small on flop and turn ext.

So when I get involved in a hand I need to be thinking about what type of value my hand has. If I flop TPTK and c-bet and get c/r'd by a WT my hand has absolutely NO value. Even if you might be ahead right now 1/5 times, your still never getting any value. If any bets go in on later streets your dead, so why not just muck it right now????

This is what can make fr so god dam profitable, players will flip there hand face-up almost every single time. It is my job to observe what in the world they are telling me, and once I figure it out I can not go into deny mode. Earlier today I opened AJo and got a caller out of the BB playing 17/5. Flop came down J24r I bet he c/r'd. Before he did that I told myself the only hand he c/r's here is a set...then after he did it I talked myself out of that read and got value towned on the turn and river.

It's like if I am good enough to realize exactly what they have, then my max value in that hand is getting away from it as cheaply as possible. Remember that when you don't lose as much on a partricular hand that your opponents would have, then you are making money in the long run!

That is how to make money playing full ring. It's not going for thin value, instead it is getting away from your hand when you are crushed. If I can get away from TPTK to just one raise, when my opponents flop a set, then I am getting ridiculous value out of that hand.

Just think about it, they won't flop a set 6/7 times so I will just c-bet and take the pot down right there. Then that other 1 time they do flop a set, I will only hit TPTK about 1/4 or 5 times. So that's basically 1/21 times that I open w AK or whatever and get flatted I will flop TPTK against a set. If I can put no more money in that pot than my c-bet, I am going to be making soooooooooo much money all the other times that they wiff. But by paying them off, that means that every single one of those times they were set-mining it was profitable because they had the proper equtiy.

Now, when I do get c/r'd by a weak player my TPTK could be good mayyyyybe 1/5 times. But just because it could be good does not mean that I should continue.

From now on whenever facing a tough decision I want to ask myself the simple question, "How can I get the most amount of equity out of my hand." When I am beat, or if I got coolered it is still possible to get the most amount of value out of your hand. The cheaper you get away from the hand, the more value you get.

So as soon as you realize that you are MOST LIKELY beat, then by not putting another dime into the pot you are getting max value out of your hand.

So from now on I don't really want to try to figure out what exactly it is that my opponent has. I want to tell myself he MOST LIKELY has...

If his most likely holding have me drawing dead, then MUCK!!!!

I have a couple good days in a row where I'll win like 4BI's in an hour, and I'll start to kind of think this is how it should be. But I have to remeber that isn't how it's always going to be, and I have to be playing for the long haul.

I have to understand that my poker career is one continuous poker session, and the only thing that I am guranteed for that session is my WR. Then depending on how many hands I get in will be how much I make for the day. So remember to be playing your A-small ball game the entire session, every session. And if it seems like players are c/r'ing me a lot this session then o well I'm prolly running bad into a lot of sets and stuff. But I have to continue with my original strategy, and not all of the sudden start getting involved in big pots for no reason.

I really have to log onto every session expecting to win nothing more than my standard WR, because if I do I'll will be more apt to take higher variance spots. I have to run away from big pots, remember that I hate them, they destroy my WR. So even if I make a couple lay downs when I was ahead, it's OK because I DO NOT want to bloat the pot with one pair type hands.

The key to winning at a huge rate, at least at full ring, is to be able to read players hand when they flip them face up for you. And when I know exactly what it is that they have, NEVER EVER EVER go back on what you believe to be true.

I literally shouldn't be thinking about how much money I want to win in a session,

It's more a question of how much you lose in your losing pots. If I want to boost my WR then I should be going around looking for spots to make great laydowns, not looking to get involved in big pots.

Remember if you don't lose money, then you will always be making money. It's not a matter of if I can make money, it's more a question of can I not lose money?

If I can just not lose money I will always be delightfully surprised when I log on to PT3 and observe my daily results.
So look for reasons NOT to call, because when your able to get away from those spots where you want to be calling you will almost always be making money.

So from now on as yourself how can I get max value out of my hand. If getting max value means folding TPTK to one raise, then that means I'm playing ill. Fuck the haters that can't understand that their range is filled w sets, it's not my fault they aren't good enough to realize this.

Understand that if you are going to have a big winning session it has nothing to do with the big pots that you win, because those will come easily and automatically. Instead worry about the pots that you lose. If you can make these pots the least amount possible, then I'm ready to play well. Instead of thinking, OK I can call here because I have position and it's only 3X yadayadayada, look for reasons to fold and make that pot as small as possible because you are MOST LIKELY going to lose it.

The key to this game is to be the aggressor and take down a crazy number of small pots. I really should never be calling bets post flop, cause these players are just so WP that if it's them betting and not me, they most likely have the best hand. ASK YOURSELF HOW TO GET MAX VALUE OUT OF EACH HAND
