Day 31. Shift to HU NL.

Hi, everybody,
I'm busted again at 6max NL because of violating bankroll management rules :).
I decided to move to HU NL. It looks like this game is the most interesting form of competition and helps to understand and master the game to the most extent. I put another 50$ to Titan and started from NL2 HU. Beforehand I watched all the videos for beginners in CR.
As soon as get 100$ I moved to NL4 and make occasional shots to NL10.
Here are my graphs:
For NL2 (I won another 25$ at another PC).NL2

Now I'm in Japan. Nice meal. Nice people.
The key phrase that will help you survive in Tokyo: "... doko deska". E.g. "Hotel(sushi, toilet) dokodeska". And they take you by the hand and lead to the destination.
I wonder if there's poker clubs in Tokyo?

Day 17. Quatum poker :)

Blog by : Yulashechka

I've got a Ph.D. in quantum physics but now I'm a little in business so my background is going to waste. Sometimes my hands are itching to make some calculation, to solve some differential equations etc. :)

Here is some math:

formula

To understand the formula please see the reference on mathematical notations

notation

Pijl is an operator that characterize the possible actions (call, raise or fold for certain amount of money) of i-th player for in j-th time in l-th hand. This operator acts on the vector space phi of possible open cards on every k-th street. The operator P is a model of player that describes his all possible actions in different situation.

The column on the right side of the equation shows current and expected Wi winnings of the i-th Player.

I did not take into an account SB&BB singularity when person who were acting last preflop should act first postflop for the sake of easiness.

1) Every time Villain has to make a decision he should virtually "solve" a lot of differential equation (or multiply matrices) and find an optimal decision.

3) Hidden power of raise (even min-raise it doesn't matter) - you give your opponent the right to solve equation where can he easily can make a mistake and solve this problem non-optimally.

4) According to this formula I would reformulate Fundamental Theorem of Poker:

One should play his hands the way that maximizes his expected winnings.

Consequences:

1) According to the formula the sum in the beginning and Wexp in the end (here is metagame!) you can loose in one particular hand but if you expect to play more with this player and you think it will help you maximize your winning then go ahead.

3) The difference between high-stakes and nano-limits is the considerable difference of player pools hence there is a difference in probability to play certain amount of hands and expected winnings vs. certain Villain. Hence strategies for different P(number of hands) and Wexp (expecting winnings/looses) should be different.

Nano-limits: P is small, Wexp per hand is bigger.

High-Stakes: P is big, Wexp per hand is smaller.

3) Table Selection. You should not play with players where your expected Wexp is zero or negative.

After watching citizenwind's video's I started to play aggressively... Much more aggressively. Now I'm testing 40/40/20 mode. It looks like it works at NL10 I have ~1000 hands and still not got broke

Day 11. NOT TO DO

Blog by : Yulashechka

Hi, everybody,

Yesterday I put another 150$ to my FT account and lost 100$ at NL25. lost twice because I was unlucky (1st one - monster-draw vs. TPNK, 2nd one - I was rivered with straight) and two times because of tilt (one guy insta-go all/in UTG I call with AK and it's turned out to be AA, and go a/n vs. obvious straight with 2 pairs). Now I'm wondering why it is just so difficult "NOT TO DO":

- to play against your bankroll;

- continue to play when you are on tilt;

- 3-barrel into calling station;

- stop playing vs. person (HU) who is more skilled than you and you constantly loosing.

- smoke;

- go to McDonalds;

- drink coffee too much;

Day 5. Leak finding BB&SB preflop actions and hands post flop.

Blog by : Yulashechka

Hi,

I checked my BB and SB it looks like I should be very profitable if I would not post blind :). Anyway I think the biggest problems for me is not preflop but postflop.

Here the stats on actions before me:

actions

Again the main money looser is when I face preflop raise so I have to fold blinds/play hands badly when preflop caller I think because. Am I folding too much for steals or there are postflop leaks?

So postflop:

hands

It looks like I'm big looser in marginal situation with TPNK without any draw.

So my plan:

1) To analyze my blinds play more thouroghly.

2) To check my winnings IP and OOP on flop.

Day 3. Leak finding by position.

Hi,

According to recommendation of GuitarmanUK here is my positional stats for NL10:

position

And everything is become obvious:

My income distribution from UTG to BU is like in poker books - constant increase and BU income is maximum.

But the main money looser are SB&BB. I 3bet too much from BB & SB, I too aggressive OOP.

Flop & turn cbets looks like OK. Maybe turn a little bit low but reasonable.

Conclusion:

It looks like I should tighten up in blinds and 3bet from them only for value. But I play very tight from BB and rather tight from SB hence it looks like my main money losing is 3betting. I should investigate my blinds play more thoroughly next day.
