post session recap

 post session recap


imo, another great session.  probably lost a bunch, I still don't know, but overall I feel great about my play and my decisions. I feel I grew a lot this session. Unfortunately a lot of pots didn't go my way. I lost a few flips, got a bad run out when I slow played my set, and then made a bad cold call pre which caused me to end the session. But I had a great heads up battle, and over all I think my play was excellent with a good touch of creativity. I felt great the whole time, and my mental game was strong until the end when it wasn't and I quit immediately. This was a session of growth.


Alright. I finally looked at my results. -$161 for my first session, and $-227 for my second. It looks bad at first glance, losing at a rate of around 80 bb / 100! But let's look at some hands.


First one, KKT9s, I four bet pre MP vs BU against aggro whale playing 69/46/26 (26% three bet) over 180 hands. A non standard four bet but a fine adapation to an overly aggro opponent imo. I am a 2:1 favourite against his actual hand, QJT9. He flats, flop comes J52, and we GII.  I'm a 64% favourite but lose. So this hand was fine imo.


Next hand is a possible punt. I three bet J987ss against TAG BU open. You can see the whole hand here :

Third largest pot I GII in three bet pot with 70% equity and lose. Then AA all in pre and lose. 


Then I had another hand where I flat QQ to a three bet, flop comes AQ9 and I station down on K, T run out vs half pot sizing throughout. I like my flop and turn play, this is a board where villain is going to be betting his range in a three bet pot. I dislike the river call, since villain should have at least two pair most of the time and have no need to bluff this runout or value bet worse.



Anyway, two losing sessions, but over all I feel good about my play and am not worried at all. Most of the pots I lost I had 50% equity or more. And the ones where I had less I still had more than 40%. Aside from the QQ hand where I was a huge favourite on flop and turn, and got rivered and lost a half pot bet there. But I think that hand was fine.

So an 8 buyin downswing over less than 1000 hands. And potentially a consequence of my more loose aggro style. But mostly variance and I felt I played well. And this doesn't really impact my bankroll.  I am completely fine to keep grinding PLO $50. 

Areas of my game to work on? 


One area I need improvement on is playing fewer tables AND taking more time to think through my decisions carefully.

My Current Grind : Week 1 : PLO $.05/$0.10 and PLO $.10/$.25

Image
Here are the results for this week's grind at BetOnline  Money Won : I don't know if you can actually see anything on this graph, but I've won $300 so far. You might have to click these images to make them more visible. There is some inaccuracies here because if you do an all in cash out, it doesn't factor that in. But actually so far these have all balanced out and based on my cashier balance I am about $290 ahead from where I started. This is over a 5 day period. Mostly I have been doing 1 hour, 300-400 hand sessions, which seems to be working well.  Goals : My short term goals are to get 'established' at .10/.25. Mainly, I want to get in a good volume of hands and generate a strong winning sample. I want to steadily increase my daily volume, and I want to study. Come February 1st I will do a review and see if I am ready to shot take .25/.50. I am eager to move up, but definitely do not have the bankroll to do so yet, nor do I have a recent sample at .10/.25. ...

Anatomy of a losing session

Image
 I had a losing session today playing PLO $10 at BetOnline . I think I played okay. Let's look the biggest losses. One hand I got it in mostly pre with AJ93 ds vs JT55 single suited. Actually villain somehow is a 51% favourite, but my hand is a lot better than his imo. Or maybe not. Whether we are going up against a loose range  Or a tight range   My hand has substantially more equity. And vs a 100% range, I am a 55/44 favourite.  Hand History driven straight to this forum with DriveHUD Poker Tracking Software - http://drivehud.com PL Omaha 0.1(BB) HJ ($15.69) [VPIP: 65.2% | PFR: 26.1% | AGG: 20% | Hands: 23] CO ($10) [VPIP: 19.7% | PFR: 6.8% | AGG: 28.6% | Hands: 132] SB ($44.69) [VPIP: 77.5% | PFR: 50% 3-Bet: 46.7% Hands: 42] Dealt to Hero: Jc Ad 3c 9d UTG Folds, HJ Raises To $0.35, CO Calls $0.35, HERO Calls $0.35, SB Raises To $1.85, BB Folds, HJ Calls $1.50, CO Folds, HERO Raises To $7.85, SB Calls $6, HJ Folds We also end up trapping some dead money from HJ esp...
