Managed to reduce losses a bit, lets see still 4 more hours to play
yes
Just imagine calling like 30th 3B or 4B with pocket pairs without flopping a set and then VOILA finally flop a set to find out villain makes flush OTT, then i angrily click RUN IT ONCE and get well deserved win
Withdrew 100$ more for life expenses (total two withdrawals since last session 200$+100$)Roll update 7.9k$
Week update:
Roll went from 7.9k$ to 6.9k$ (-1k$)
-1k$ week downswing for nl100 can't be that terrible i guess? but what could go wrong has went wrong this week, i don't remember last time when i had such a terrible experience, whatever we move on next.
Btw this day opened my eyes how brutal can be variance, especially when you expecting a win and suddenly one river card can change a winner repeatedly many times, i remembered watching PRODIGY's podcast who said that it's so hard to see rivers vs DavyJones
I understand that line now and i find reasons why it's like that, maybe i will change something in my strategy to go towards putting in chips early instead of leaving large portion for the river.
Do you have a graph with EV line? Would be interesting to see.
Maybe it's just the hands you decide to post but quite a few of them you seemed to be getting the money in terrible spots and getting bailed out by the deck.
They could of course just be a few hands in a large sample, just a bit odd to use those to showcase yourself unless you're trying to sell an image.

Well this graph shows Saturday+Sunday combined, luckily i won some money at Wednesday and got a lot of rakeback by taking top 3 places on the leaderboards, thanks to it i only lost 1k$ for the week but could have been much worse
Anyway, EV line won't tell you full story, for example take a look of these two hands where i got dealt AA in perfect situation, i thought cold 4betting would give away and scream i had AA so i cold called to trap, both times in my mind I'm stacking off postflop no matter what but i lose both times (arguably preflop play cannot be optimal, not sure) but EV line will only show you that I get it in worse
Spoiler
Here i thought to just check-jam turn or jam later on the river because in my mind I'm getting in no matter what but EV line will only show you that I get it in worse
Spoiler
Or this hand for example, on that board in my mind i didn't know what would call bigger bets OTT either he had AK AQ or 55 so i thought to bet smallish but im never folding no matter what card comes on the river, again EV line will only show you that I get it in worse
Spoiler
Or this hand, in my mind I'm stacking off no matter what until river pairs the board probably
Spoiler
Then out of rage and tilt i started punting so even when i was punting i wasn't getting lucky
Spoiler
So the takeaway for me after all this nightmare was that: if i could lose as little as 1k$ on this week after such hell then i can basically never lose at this limit if i run normally and don't punt, also i might consider taking more aggressive lines instead of letting players see cheap rivers, maybe.
The takeaway for you: EV line won't always show you the true variance and the hell a player went through.
Thanks for the graph. Would have been a more accurate picture if you included the 4 outers you posted last week.
You know best about the hands so I wouldn't make a comment on those 😀
What do you mean, such a hell? You played all the hands terribly. The last two were just monkey tilt
First AA you let two players in while being OOP, then blasted off with 0 equity
Second AA you invited everybody to join the party, then checked and called after villain hit this board heavily
Third AA why check and give a free card as a birthday present, which he received OTR
KQ very small turn bet gave him excellent odds to catch his flush, which he did.
J9 bit of a cooler, but the turn bet is too small
Aha jeeze those last 2 hands.
Ur mental game is costing u a lot of bb/100.
Lets see may graph at the end of the month. With rakeback totals n all.
Moving back to 50nl?
When i flop a set i want to stack off and not considering folding so it was protection jam

Wat?!
You could have raised flop if you wanted to "protection jam".
"protection jam" into the nuts looks pretty spewy.
It's hilarious how poorly you deal with criticism after posting so many spewy hands.
Thank god for rb and bbjs right?
As you guys play better than me maybe you can play nl100 instead of whatever stake you play
If people are chucking in 200bb preflop with TT and AK then it definitely sounds worthwhile sitting in those games. Not sure how you're losing in games where people are doing that.
Ofc it's super easy, just sit at my games with your tight image and receive 200bb stacks from people who are throwing stacks at you with TT and AK
On a serious note, you guys have no idea what it's like to sit at my table and feel the pressure I'm putting out. Believe me, you'd be stacking off with AK and TT too
Would love to sit at a table with a tilting fishreg who shoves KQs and AJo for 200bb. Sounds like the opposite of pressure.

Yeah i would hate to sit at a table with someone as good as you who never punts
