TheBIgFish will crush the limitsMy poker carrer http://tagpoker.myfastforum.org/about3572.htmlMy first plan is to get the Bankroll to play NL100 heads up cash and mix it with HU Sng, but we will see maybe i will fall so inlove with HU sng .. 
I never made a blog before, so i try my best 
Why im doing a BLOG!?! I think that this will improve my game, i plan to post hands and a lot more, hope i will get some advice and i think the blog will force me to keep my goals!!! so LETs go ;D MY bankroll at the moment is 75.32 Im playing on stars the 1.50 heads up sng, but i will try to cash out and play at titan or william because the rake is nearly 10% at stars i played since now 14 hu sngs and won 13 and lost one. ( HM shows me a roi of 70.9 how can this be true?? because of the rake? My plan is to play a day at least 10 games ----------------------------------------------- 14 games W/L 13/1 BR 75,32 |

So here is the first situation where im not sure if i played it right:
I have played 7 hands with this opponent : i saw only once the showdown with him, where we both had AJ i only know that he is betting his good hands 4 times the blind, he raises every hand, when he is in position and folded when he is oop Poker Stars No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10.00/t20.00 Blinds - 2 players - View hand 1438117 DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter BB: t1560.00 78 BBs Hero (BTN/SB): t1440.00 72 BBs Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BTN/SB with J  A
Hero raises to t40, BB calls t20 Flop: (t80) 5  J 7 (2 players)
BB bets t40.00, Hero raises to t160, BB raises to t1520, Hero calls t1240 all in Turn: (t2880) 3 (2 players - 1 is all in)
River: (t2880) 4 (2 players - 1 is all in)
so here are my thoughts: he calls me oop, what he did first time, well we only played 7 hands so i dont have a lot reads. against a thinking player i would give him a range of 22,33,44,55,66,77,88( i think 99+ he would reraise, ) 65s+ T9+ any As A9o+ J9+ so that would be the range i would give him preflop. on the flop he donkbets, my thought would be, he got a weak jack or a draw, after i reraise him he is shoving all in. when i now think about it, i think he will only do it with 55,77, J7,J5, not sure if he will do it with a flush draw. I rater think he would just call with a flush draw and im not sure if he will do it with JK or Qj, TJ. Against this range i would have an EV of 54%( with any flush draw and jk and QJ and TJ) If i take JK and QJ and TJ out, i will only have 33%. If i take even the flush draws out, i only have 13%. So my thoughts are now, even when i give him the range, where i would have 54%. Should i better fold because the blinds are not high, i didnt invest a lot chips and i should wait for a better spot ? now after i calculated the situation with pokerstove, its an easy fold. The best range im against is 54% and the worst 13%. |

i think in this spot 55 or 77 is a possible holding or even a 68 off or 68 of hearts. he could even have some 89 or 910 of hearts even j8 of hearts. i think he would have some combo draw. with the limited hands with this guy u dont know how light or how strong he is in this spot. u have almost no redraw and are basically playing top pair. in this spot i think i let it go as this is the first time you see this play. if he constantly is donk and 3 bet shoving u will have to open up your calling range. if this was the 2-3-4th time he did this i would be happy to get it in with top pair but not until i have seen him make this play.
this spot i think you are against a real hand. i like how you analyzed the hand after with pokerstove and thought about his range. it shows you are a thinking player and will improve you game. never focus on the outcome of the hand but on how your read was and if you made the best +ev play. doing the numbers on his range and draws you see that u are behind alot of his range and a fold is the right play. if you call this hand and go runner runner to win does nothing for improving your game as you are just looking at the results and not the actual situation of his hand range and how you executed the hand. looking forward to seeing u crush these limits. |

thank you, for your answer. For me its more importend, if i made the right play, not the result. you can play right and lose on the short term and you can play wrong and win on the short term. And im not playing the micros to get rich i wan to improve and thats the most importend thing in my eyes the money will come from alone

update 2
today i played 8 games, i wanst really satisfied with my game, i didnt even was in a good mood to play but i had to. i had 2 suckouts one where i had J8 and the flop was A82 the turn J and i shipped i,t he called with A4 and the river was a A but well with that i dont have a problem i cant always win with the best hand. but on the other games i wasnt really focus and focuse to exploit my opponents. One opponent i didnt really know how to adept he wasnt a calling station but he was really pasive, he had a pfr of 17 and no matter what he hit, he never bet but called with tptk on a really wet board and so on... so how you would exploit him well with my draws just passiv play but what you do with you middel pair on a wet board or top pair bet kicker? play it also passiv? _________________________________ W/L 3/5 overall 20/6 how big my br is, i dont really know cause i shipped it out and will take the free course from brokstar, i just wait to get my money from neteller, because i had some money on party poker also. i will probably play at HUsng 5 when i get my money so lets see how it goes there i did play 2 games after i wrote this and won both this time i was more satisfied with my game ______________ W/L# 2/o overall 22/6 |

How'd you go from 17/1 to 16/6?? Shouldn't it be 17/1 + 3/5 = 20/6 then + 2/0 = 22/6? | ||
| thebigfish |

well today wasnt a good day at all but thats poker i got 2 times sucked out once with AA where he had an oesd and once with KT where he hit his gutshot. It was 2 times the same opponent, yeah and after that i lost one stack on till against him but oh well i stopped for a moment and told to my self keep focuse, he didnt wanted to play me so i played some other 2 games with a other opponent and won but i wasnt really satisfied with the one buy in i lost on tillt on him the other suckouts are ok i cant change that
so it is now 24/9 im still not havin my money on neteller, i hope it will come today so i can stop playing at stars where the rake is close to 10% at 1.50, and really cant wait to get the course with brok so hurry up party poker

update 4
finally i got my money on neteller and my course with broke will start the next days, i did play 6 HUSngs at the limit 5 and won 5 and lost 1, i also want to start to improve my end game (push or fold) so i started to play the turbos since now i played only one and won and i also played at the time i didnt had my moneyon neteller at pokerstars the 1.5. so here is my overall at the limits 5$, 2$ and 1.5$ at stars the 1.5: 39 games won 28 lost 11 at i poker the 5: 6 games won 5 lost 1 at i poker the 2 turbos: 1 game won 1 so overall 46 games: won 34 / lost 12 |

Don't play turbos 'to improve your endgame', going into them with a poor endgame is silly. Just stick with reg speeds atm, and review lots of endgame videos and spots using math. | ||
| thebigfish |
well i do watch videos and ... and thats the way im practice it, my endgame isnt soooo poor
