Rec-Bumhunter trying to go pro
Greetings to everyone and thank you in advance for your time.
I used to play poker as a rec,mostly tourneys in private clubs whenever I had time .3 years (!) later I fell in love with the game and cash games specifically. I used to work many hours per day so my volume was pretty low.I was making some money playing 100-200nl avg on private clubs and apps.I thought that there is some potential and joined a regulated site to play.I got crushed really fast.The reason was not that I was so bad as a player(still fish though),but I couldnt control my tilt. I stopped playing and I started reading about the game .I memorised wizzards preflop strategies with small custom simplifications in frequencies,learned some general MDA lines and studied some theory grids in various spots. It has been almost 1 year since I decided to take the game seriously. I reduced my working time to be able to play more poker and keep a balanced (!) life. If I am able to make constant winnings by the end of the summer I will probably go full time.
So I chose GG poker to be the place where I will give my shot.I went straight to 50-100nl rnc and got SWALLOWED by the nitfest and better regs. I used to play in pools full of aggro fish and aggro regs,so my calling button was always hot,a really but habit for this pool. I reviewed my hands and understood that I have to adjust a lot my preflop ranges and general playstyle to a even more aggresive style -overfold friendly.
I dropped stakes and started over from nl 25 rnc. My plan is to play up to 50k hands in each limit and move up if I win.
My study routine for now will be mainly ip srp btn bb.Then hj vs bb .
After 21k hands I was able to beat25NL.I know that the sample is really small but I was feeling really comfortable there and decided to move up to NL50 rnc.
So,atm ://////Stakes :NL50,/////Studying: ip srp early pos. ////Tilt issues :still tilting af
I hope for some advices-guidance from more experienced players.
I will post here my process .
it looks like I play way better when 2 tabling than 3 tabling..Probably I am not borned to be a multytasker
I see some crazy guies 8 tabling rnc ,I just dont get how ..Probably you need to have a very fixed gameplan to play like that or I dont know..
Some hands
JJ) I was versus a nitty player ,I would call without the J of d , ( could be a insane nit fold )
99) I do not understand why people dont raise with second nuts in those spots
QQ) So many stations
additional HH
44) thats a turn you can play b75 or b125, its more convenient to me to polarize more and play only OB,but
people dont respect my bets I have to play higher where they would respect my bets
K5 ) people dont respect my bets I have to play higher where they would respect my bets
QT) bvb after high freq bets I have to protect my X range ott
K9) people dont respect my bets I have to play higher where they would respect my bets
Something that I would like to add is I think that it is a huge mistake to call someone that you think he is overbluffing on a spot with hands that are way out of range . This could be justified only vs fish-whales. If you do that against a reg, is like you are sacrificing a whole lake to drink 1 glass of water
Its always nice when you get paid the maximum
It always sucks when you are getting stationed. Such an absurd call .Such a -EV bluff
thin value city for today
lost a couple of BIs
Fish got me
Based on my assumptions ,V would stab flop with most of his PPs. If my assumptions are correct , then thin value betting should be reasonable I guess
In the last 2 sessions I think I have fcked up a bit
Mostly because I have made some calls that I shouldnt . But you know , hitting no boards at all , folding all the time ,I broke at some point and deviated from my strategy.I am still a mental fish probably.
I need to focus a bit more and things will be fine ( I will post graph soon )
Always greedy
V was a fish ,so even MW his range should be the same when he called
For some reason they love to 'trap'.
fish got me again
I think many people(me inlcuded ) play bad vs blocks
me vs the heros
favorite line vs this guy
not many cool loosing hands so I will post this one
Saturday funday
I am running good in terms of AIEV
bro wears cape
In theory I am holding a value beater . Vs Asian 20-14-6 b75 flop though probably pure bluffcatch ,-EV call
I see this jam often. I think it is fairly easy to understand why call outperforms jam
Coinpoker action keeps the dream alive as it seems
Kinda reg wars tables
Someone may watch these games from bcp poker replays on YT ,the channel is streaming them rn (If you dont know the channel I would suggest to see all of the regwars videos and HU battles ,berry vs linus is wild)
Did some costly mistakes today
vs a very good reg
nice spot to bluff
fcked up a lot on this one. On the river I I have A4o,A4s,T4s,J4s,some overpairs, A8, so I thought it would make sense to bluff, but I forgot how wild my range is and how many better candidates I have
Main reason I am not updating is that I do not play on GG at this time
I try to put some volume on wpt
Running extremely bad actually
And I am not talking about All in EV , which is pretty ****ed (but I dont care )
I am talking about people doing insanely random stuff and I keep loosing somehow
Hand was 200dp open 3bb-3bet to 12.5- he 4bets to 27 , call,then he b30-b50 -all in
back in the gg action
Feeling a bit cold , it has been a while since the last time I grinded 200 rnc
guy is a reg i dont even have history with
thoughts about this one?vs tight opponent
I think just fold flop but very understandable to continue 2p. Big XR vs a large bet on a terrible texture in the worst possible positions and vs a tight reg. I'd just rangebet 1bb since their range is mostly low pockets but that's whatever
Turn/river seems good, bad spot to bluffcatch but Td blocks a ton of their snap calls

Yeah I agree . To justify my actions, some times if I play vs someone that I consider tight-passive-nitty I tend to size up with top range( at least if it is justified a bit in theory) because they are not going to raise enough with bluffs..The problem is that in those positions AT isnt top range at all .. I would fold vs this raise but there is a chance that he is raising with AJ and he actually has all the AJo in range(people flat a lot with this hand because of the BBJ).If he does so , I have bad beat jackpot equity ( AAATT,AAAJJ) which shifts the hand towards a call I think
An other issue is that If he is not raising there with bluffs like KTfd QTfd ,then Td is an irrelevant blocker , but he shouldn't have many flushes anyway
Results update for 20k on rnc200 after the prop bet was activated
Goal for the upcoming hands : establish gg as my main volume place ,because playing a bit, then stop for a couple of weeks ,then start again , will never let me adjust properly
STOP making so many big mistakes, I have done quiet a lot mistakes on big pots
Rescue my redline ? Its the first rnc pool that I have a negative red line
Stay calm and handle bad varaince since this WR is not sustainable .
prop bet is lower from the graph because it started counting hands some hours later

what a beast
