[A_CitizenErased]

Hey Guys,

Just going to use this as a log for this escapade.

Tony has been really enthusiastic and great help so far for the small amount of time we have talked.

My first task is playing 5 4.50 man sngs on Stars which I am about to sit down on now. Tony is then going to analyse every hand from them 5 games with me and we are taking it from there.

If your interested in the rail my SN on Stars is Djmahony123

Once again pretty delighted with this. Thanks again Tony.

GL to me.

[Keane]

glgl, hopefully Tony can pick a few things up from you.

I fold this pre. to early.

[Crow]

Instead of raising, just limp with the A9s hand.

You want to have a tight opening range early on in these games. You dont want to be playing big pots with marginal hands

[Ziggin&Zaggin]

Ah8h hand was interesting

Why interesting would he not be rite in trying to build a pot here?

edit to say: I do rem a staright possibilty on flop and maybe this needs looking at it.

Never open limp ^^

[A_CitizenErased]

Never open limp ^^

Thought would be ok with small pocket pair trying to set mine.

Bleh..

Thats enough HH anyway, Rail away.

I will leave the rest for Tony.

Your not set mineing by open limping.
I've been railing with a while and it's only your first game so don't get to worried and make your mistakes and Tony will lokk after ya, but from what i'm seeing, your to anxious to play hands early as in 10/20-15/30 and maybe go over flop texture to cbet at, I just remember 1 hand where there was 4 limpers you raise from the sb and get 4 callers and lead at a 10kx flop 2 spades, you get a caller 10 turn then cc and a spade hits the river and you c/fold just seemed like you could have saved your 450 on the flop that you bet if you did'nt have AK. can I see what you had then just to look at no problem if you don't want to.
Either way gl to you with this.

Had the guy marked as most aggresive on the table..he had been raising loads. Horrible situation for me, but went with my gut and was losing..until the flop

[Ziggin&Zaggin]

what was thershove to limper with AJ?

[A_CitizenErased]

Just to clarify lads. This is why I am getting coaching. Improving my game..some spots trouble me. I was ahead with shoving the A-J and knew I was ahead.

By the way...loving pokertracker HUD.

[theshortstack]

what was thershove to limper with AJ?

Guy that limped had 1.3k staring so 1.2k and I think it was a good standered shove just got unlucky.

[A_CitizenErased]

This ok? Was supposed to be a 2.5 raise but minraised by mistake..

Gl with this, are you gonna just play 180mans? there's lot stuff on 2+2 which you should read on 180's.

I fold KJ there, also min opening is fine IMO

Tony was saying its going to be all 180 mans and maybe some Sundayments.

Have a lot of the 180 man guides printed off which have helped a bit.

Is it too early position to raise KJ there>?

[A_CitizenErased]

Need some runnnn goooood

180's are good for building a roll if you learn how to beat them gl anyway. Post hands and put in volume=way to learn.

I personal just fold, id open in LP, and if there's antes id prob open.

Edit: Just checked stars see where u playing... dnt 3x open/fold Co. Min is fine

[A_CitizenErased]

Why did you show the AJ?

Fella is bugging the shit out of me.. I raised his small blind raise with K-2 offsuit earlier too. Have my own little read on him. Prob shouldnt have showed but fuck it.

Should have reshoved pre was my thinking after it played out..only called because two overcards and nut flush draw

Thanks

[Maloney]

Ye just isolate if your playing the hand.

[A_CitizenErased]

Ugh moved to new table, 2 big chippys both to left.

[burkeyoa]

The premium QJ You got ur run good anyway. But dont like the play there just flatting the open. If your going to call of all your chips preflop id rather be 3bet shoving over the opening raise. Because flatting and open then calling of your stack to 3bet is not a profitable play with QJ. Anyway GL an ship it. Your getting some serious abuse in the chat box for the play anyway, you have him tilted

Horrible play. I lost my head for a minute

Was bad now. An am sure BK will be telling you that in the review. But you got lucky this time so you can learn from it and go on and get a confidence boosting score.

[D3kka]

Did the guy just min raise pre with the QQ when you had 47 for the straight.?

gl btw

[A_CitizenErased]

7-4 suited ftw..

[A_CitizenErased]

Did the guy just min raise pre with the QQ when you had 47 for the straight.?

gl btw

Yep.

Had a reason for calling with that in the BB. His aggression factor is up the walls so said I would see a flop.

[Bubbleking]

well at least we wont be short of things to talk about

how many is left in that one? on phone at the mo

[A_CitizenErased]

Good read. If you thought he was at it why not three-bet that bag of bollix. Peeling 4-7 oop is burning money.

[A_CitizenErased]

You're even getting advice off your opponents lol

Think he was talking to the other guy about bluffing.

Made a horrible play awhile ago though lol.

think i check call flop and check fold the turn here almost everytime.

[A_CitizenErased]

Right, that was sickening.

But yeah, fold pre was the better option.

I was always getting it in on this flop.. The raise was UTG so he has qq kk or aa alot in this spot. He was a pretty solid player so I felt there was a nice bit of equity pushing here.

Fold pre though.

Bleh, fuck it.

Firing up another.

Lets go again..

Best of luck with this Mahony and fair play BK for taking it on. No doubt you will learn a lot from it.

What way are you doing the HH review? Will you just be sending the HH files to BK or are you using teamviewer or something like that?

At the minute, sending him the files after I play 5 of these.

Cool, well I was railing your last game. I won't bother talking about the hands because BK is obv doing that but I doubt he could spot this leak from reading a HH. You are fairly transparent with your timing during a hand fwiw and I think it's worth a lot tbh. Try and take the same amount of time over every decision. It's very easy to read you atm, ie. when you have a hand or don't. You rush things when you are weak and take time when you are strong. This makes you very easy to play against. Take whatever amount of time you are comfortable with but do it for all of your decisions. I think it's important and a lot of players don't realise it when they are doing it. Time tells are a big part of the game. Likewise, then, you can pick up on others who make similar mistakes.

Hope this makes sense, I'm very hungover.

Gonna play the last 3 tournies in the morning Tony.

Feel I need to stop now tonight which is a good thing because usually I would continue on.

Bust in the 2nd shoving A-K with 11 bbs and being called with JJ and they held.
