Monday 22 November Review


Funny day really. Good end to it. I started off slow, losing a BI or so, before playing a deep session. Pawel sweated the deep session. Now thanks to Pawel I am probably $16k richer in the last 8 weeks or so than I would've been without him, but one thing I've learned today is that I can't have sweats with anyone when I'm playing deep. There's just so many more levels of thought. 100bbs, I feel like I can just cruise along and merrily crush and talk at the same time. Not so when deep, and I made at least one huge mistake and plenty of medium sized ones as well looking back.

Anyway, to some contentious hands:

For some reason after this he berated me, saying I should obviously fold the turn. I don't think it's *that* obvious, and was just one of those spots where I decide on the flop I'm going broke, and if I have to call 3 streets to go broke rather than 3bet get it in then there's no difference VS nutted hands anyway (assuming sets don't CF on 3flush turns and rivers of course which I think tbh is a safe assumption), but this way I get the benefit of seeing potential bluffs.

Then this one. Not upset to see 99. Standard/ whatever, but I do know his call flop range in 3bet pots is weak and so he'll have plenty of 3bets and triple barrels to worry about from now on.

Deep hand gone wrong. Example of what I was talking about in the first paragraph. Just so so so bad VS this opponent. VS JeanDitPipi it's actually fine ......... but here especially as he had recently taken a similar line where I folded this is just burrrrrning money.

So 55, probably most interesting hand. JeanDitPipi just check raises an absolute ton in 3bet pots. I've talked about him before, in a nutshell he raises depolarised, bets super thinly for value, calls all bluffs, and gives the impression of a super bluffy lagtard while not actually running any big bluffs whatsoever. So in this spot his plan is often to CR top pairs, hands like TT,JJ almost for information given that he'll fold to a lot of pressure. Very similar to the way I played on UB when all tables where deep, and something shortsharpshock used to talk to me about. Basically he'd raise top pairs etc a ton, and be like 'doesnt get exploited through bluff 3bets so its fine'. Anyway, given all this I decided I have ~40% equity VS a get it in range and can apply tons of pressure to what I've ascertained as his likely range. He gets there :-( (although I was a 40% dog)

Looking at my final session, (503 hands, $1557 in winnings lol heater) there's not too many interesting hands. I just kept making sets and flushes and getting paid by fish. This one though ............. (description beneath)

Ok really cool read on this guy is that he always 3bets any strong hand on the flop, especially on a 2 tone. Does it both IP and OOP, and plenty of examples. He has a middling WTSD and basically I feel like I can get his exceedinlgy bet call range IP to fold almost always by the river. Have to admit I was shoving blank rivers, and my feeling is my only 'mistake' in this hand is in not factoring the tilt that might come from having played the following hand a few minutes before.

Re the 76hh hand I messed up my turn betsizing looking back. Maybe another reason he called hmm.... at least I got there anyway.

So yeah happy enough with the turnaround in the day. Lessons learned re sweating while deep. Roll on tomorrow. Btw Pawel/ Zaza etc or anyone else for that matter (Matt) I'd be up for sweats whenever so long as either you're playing or I'm playing only 100bbs. Think I get a lot out of it ...........
