100NL

Realised yesterday that I had 3.8k online and maybe being a bit of a bankroll nit still playing 50NL and I was probably good enough to beat 100NL so decided to move up.

Started out pretty bad dropping 350 dollars along the way. A bit of fps and a few coolers, KQd v A2d on Jd8dTs9d all in, 22 v AT on AT29 all in river A and some smaller pots.

Played a bit today and recouped most of the losses. Felt good and played well.
NSD a bit of a problem. Not able to be dominating as much as I do at 50NL. It's weird how I can't handread as well at 100NL because villains take weird lines with hands. Like when they bet on the turn 3h4h5hJh after flop went check check and they were the pfr and in position on the flop, I stack off with Kh thinking they would always cbet the Ah.

Sometimes villains take weird lines with 1 pair hands, turning them into bluffs and it really confuses me at times. I realise a lot of 50NL players are more straightforward while a lot of the 100NL players like to play tricky and do reverse things.

Hopefully I'll settle at 100NL soon and be able to become a 100NL reg.

Heads Up Cash

So I was looking at my PokerTracker database like always just fooling around with it.

And I realised my heads up cash for 50NL was negative 20 dollars on Full Tilt. And so I decided to play a few hands and get it back into the green.

What I realised was having played and thought about the game so much I have improved quite a lot over the past 2-3 weeks and when I rocked up the tables I felt so good at handreading, heads up was actually easy.
















The last hand where my showdown plummets was a hand where I got gutterballed which explains the drastic fall.

Then after this heads up session I went on to play some 6-max on Stars and after playing the heads up games I felt refreshed and was able to handread amazingly.

I feel like my game has changed so much over these past 2-3 weeks. Especially handreading and winning the non-showdowns.

Growing as a poker player?

Live £0.50/1 at the Gala Bristol - The 2nd Chapter

Lol we ended up going to the Gala in Bristol again tonight.

Sat down at the table at around 9 and played til half 12. Finished the night +£300. Big hands of the night:
1. Straddle was on, 3 limpers, I raise 6xstraddle with ATo from CO, get 1 caller, flop AA9r, he donks I call, turn is 4, he checks I bet he calls, river 3, he checks I shove he calls with 9Thh.

2. UTG raises 3bbs, UTG+1 calls, folds round to me on BTN, I 3bet to 12bbs with AJo, everyone folds and UTG+1 calls. Flop is 455r, he checks, I bet 16bbs into 30bbs he raises to 36bbs and shove. He folds and tables JJ.

3. Straddle on, 2 limpers, I raise to 10bbs with QTo from CO, SB calls and UTG limper shoves for 21bbs, I 4bet to 60bbs and SB folds 99. Board comes, A6633, UTG tables 57s and we split the pot.

4. 3 limpers, MP raises to 5bbs, MP+1 calls, I call with 56s and so do the 4 other players. Flop is K55r, MP as the PFR bets 10bbs into pot like 35bbs, MP+1 raises to 20bbs, I call and MP calls, turn is 2, MP bets 20bbs, MP+1 calls, and I call. River is 2, MP bets 25bbs, MP+1 calls and I shove for 100bbs, MP calls with AK for another 26bbs, and MP+1 folds AK for an extra 60bbs. I think I won the max in this hand.

5. Last hand of night, 2 limpers, I raise 8bbs from MP with KK, the 2 limpers call. Flop is 6d7dTs, they both check I bet 16bbs into 25bbs, first limper calls and 2nd folds. turn is Ac, he checks I check, river is Kd he checks I bet 26.5bbs into 57bbs and he calls and he mucks.

Silly Willy ended up even for the night and Raymondo dropped 160, but I ended up splitting winnings with them so we all left the casino £50 winners which we then spent on getting Chinese dim sum afterwards in Mayflower (BEST chinese restaurant in Bristol imo).

All I can say is live poker is so soft. Live poker winnings for this academic year: £1.5k+
