My results of grinding 2NL 5NL 10NL 25NL 50NL 100NL

Id be embarrassed to post a hand history like that bruh and youre on here doing it for free acting like its the random microstakes fish fault for not folding aces. Talk about absolutely torching money and you even threw in the random donkflop 3way that makes zero sense to start it off.

The donk can't be super bad, but I don't like it on this texture because people aren't pot controlling as much w/ one pair hands on T84tt vs something like 358tt. River is probably not a disaster either, even if it looks spewy.

The real question is why are you calling the flop raise? You have second pair with potential reverse implied odds with one guy still to act that already called the donk. UTG can definitely still have a strong range and CO has bare minimum decent equity.

X.jam river w 4th pair no blockers. Amazing stuff.

Op are we going to see a 2024 graph?

Imo nothing embarrassing in posting hand histories even if it’s really bad, it’s good for improvement, for me more embarrassing is when people get embarrassed by posting bad hand histories and they post only the ones they think they played well.

I’m defending there to see the turn, there is a chance villain is on a draw, there is a chance i can improve to two pair or trips, it’s unlikely any of them have T8 or T4, imo judging by flop texture they have draws more often, Tx hands like AT KT etc or overpairs, maybe a set of 44 or TT

If i improve my hand i can stack them off, like lets imagine i applied same line with two pair or better, V would get stacked off there with his aces

What i noticed is that some players just love to raise with weak hands in multiway pots because players tend to overfold vs raises, they give up even top pairs more often than they would in non multiway pots so i think i need to defend more often at least once and force them to commit more because i need to send a message that with single raise they not going to take down pots vs me, either they commit further barreling turns too and next time ill have a monster hand and their bluff line gets them in trouble, for balance this looks good

But again i have leaks, not profiling opponents properly, this line would work vs a reg more often than vs a 35VPIP aggrotard, also im defending more than i should considering stakes im playing in yeah this is really bad but im here to improve

I think people are overfolding river and I think it's pretty unlikely they have a flush on this runout, action and bet sizing. Will be difficult to defend enough, not loving life even with a straight. Very exploitative but I don't think it's losing much if at all. What do we need like 65-70% FEQ?

You have 4(!) "clean outs" to a non-nut hand you want to stack off with, where you will be hoping someone wants to play a 270bb pot with a 1 pair hand like AA or AT on a scary turn like 8 or 7 when flop was called and raised 3 way (is it likely based on your read on the pool?).

You are basically repping a Kx clubs from villains pov or like 44 and expect NL2 player to fold slowplayed aces here? Even if your play is gto aproved doesn't mean you should do this here. Like mentioned hundred times these plays make zero sense. If you wan to spend massive ammount of time to memorize a strat you would be using at the higher stakes in games it doesn't work then good luck mate.

I think it's good that you can think outside the box and make big moves. It's great that you bring up your own leaks and strive to improve. These are much more interesting to look at than the basic coolers that many people post here

Even though theoretically that bluff was really bad, it was also practically a really bad bluff.

You made a big mistake on that flop. Because your hand can't really improve that much. If you would have like 78 hearts then it would be a good idea to continue on the flop after that action.

I think the River was a theoretically bad card for you, it falls too often into Villain's range after that action

I'm liking this new strategy 😀

You talk about poker like someone who doesn't know how to talk about poker. If your logic is this

then you should never explain a hand like this

you should say "I played like that because it's solver approved" and then copy/paste the solver output. It seems like you aren't actually solving these hands, or doing any solver work to begin with, you're just kind of saying whatever comes to mind at the time to take the blame off of your poor play.

The problem here is that other players have a GTO understanding which they consider the basis of the theory. Blazar does not use the GTO theory but some BlazarGto strategy of his own which is based on his own calculations. Because of this none of us even speak the same language as him which makes this hilarious.

It's really hard to balance defense vs raises, when it comes to defense i can apply just minimum defense frequency but follow the hand how it progresses, i can defend more on wet boards and less on dry boards but i can balance river play, i can check-shove with nutty hands and also weak hands when villain bets for value with a range that most likely consists of 1 pairs or overpairs

Just if we look into pot odds river: 33.5BB and villain bets 11.5BB = 45BB total, im shoving 109BB more to win that 45BB, the line villain played is very heavy on one pair kind of hands or overpairs which should fold vs my jam most of the times but this kind of villain prolly will call 100% of times so it was not a great play from my side imo considering this type of villain and stakes im playing

I agree with you, yeah im punting a lot all the time that sucks but i hope i can work on my self to somehow control my play more based on pool and limits

2024 year was waste of time financially because i wasn't able to play NL25 or higher, all my shot takings were miserable and i was changing strategies too often, i was punting a lot but overall i got really good experience but none of this matter anymore because i have totally new strategy for next year

Right on, can you show the solver output that led you to those conclusions?

No, i don’t use the solver.

In order for your conclusion to be correct, you need a lot of very specific things to happen in a very specific way, at a high frequency. How do you know that these things happen in those ways if you aren't using a solver?

not everyone has access to a solver guys, come on. and regs were trying/studying to play balanced/GTO long before solvers even existed.

some of those hands are absolutely horrendous, but i think "nothing embarrassing in posting hand histories even if it’s really bad, it’s good for improvement, for me more embarrassing is when people get embarrassed by posting bad hand histories and they post only the ones they think they played well." is a great mindset.

Your questions are like a headache, like a little kid asking to a teacher why the sky is blue? Or something like that

1. Is our flop defense vs a raise logical or not judging by the board? If we don’t defend our hand on such kind of boards at high frequencies will we overfold? Is betting and overfolding afterwards good strategy for you?

2. With what hands villain checking the turn with on that wet board?

3. With what strength of hands villain thin value betting rivers after checking the turn?

Ask those questions to yourself and you may find the answer

Solver is great i believe even tho i never used it but people can’t replicate it’s complex strategy, nor remember it, we’re humans and our play will be always flawed but we should strive to make decisions based on our own strategy and logic.

I think this hand is more embarrassing to post than the previous one

My thought process during this hand was like as a BB defender 4 falls in my range more often than in villain's range but villain plays aggressively so i need to punish him for that, if he is repping overpairs higher than T like JJ+ with that jam i will just make him fold or if villain has something i can beat still im ok with that jam

And this hand is even more embarrassing i believe

Anyway this is not part of my strategy but sometimes im just leaving strategy zone and following my instincts maybe its a bad thing but in the end we're not robots, we're all playing a game of poker

Can you post your stats so I can get a better idea of ​​what type of player you are at the table. VPIP PRF 3BET and stl is enough

Old stats will be misleading because i'm playing with new strategy now, here is last 2k hands but i think my VPIP should be around 20-22, publicly not gonna share more stats

A well played hand in my opinion!

Here i'm checking some nutty hands too as well to balance frequency with jams, jams likes this and jams with nutty hands are close enough
