road from NL100HU -> NL1kHU and PLO200

So this is MAIN let’s go post ;)

1. part of the post will be HAND-part ( biggest hands and maybe hands which have decided about dynamics of the match )

I was playing on NL50 HU against pretty damn loose and aggro opponent.

(Rake: $0.50)

Firstly sth about this player : I was sweating my friend and I had a note “aggro spewy” but I didnt have idea what this guy will be doing.

In first hand, even on NL50 Im trying to value-bet as much it is possible, K6 on this flop looks good : player from NL50 will call me with any pair any GS and large portion of the time with A high.

He decided to c/r me : His range : air, gs, sets, 2x 6x and I expect him to c/c this flop with Tx.

Turn : he views this card as good card to bluff, but Q doesnt improove his range all that often ( Q6 Q2, maybe semibluff with QJ ) = call

River : If he will bet here that wouldt be bluff or that often so I decided to fold this river if he bets – he checks and showup A5o = and I thought daaamn, this will be damn aggro and hard match.

=========

next hand is tricky and interesting

Hero (BTN/SB): $66.50
BB: $50.50

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BTN/SB with J K
Hero raises to $1.50, BB raises to $4.50, Hero calls $3

Flop: ($9.00) K 8 9 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $6.50, BB calls $6.50

Turn: ($22.00) A (2 players)
BB bets $39.50 all in, Hero folds

Final Pot: $22.00
BB wins $21.50
(Rake: $0.50)

preflop pretty standard, I expect him to 3-bet a tons without reason so lets call KJ and go from there

flop : standardish, if he will c/r me on this flop Ill propably play this hand as bluffcather. he decided to call me so he might have tons of hands in his range ( Still I dont have info how this guy is playing strong draws in single raise pots / 3-bet pots)

the turn rolls of and he INSTAJAMS : this looks strange.. I might put him here on 2par Ax + fdraw or complete bluff but I decided to fold my KJ – what do Ya think about it ? :]

=============

this hand is after 30-60 hands ( dont know eexactly )

He was playing 90% IP and 90% OOP so I decided to openraise 100% of my buttons and c-bet any single flop, cuz he was folding. And after this first A5o hand this guy decided ty play waaay more straight forward. Let’s see next hand

Hero (BTN/SB): $57.40
BB: $120.15

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BTN/SB with 8 6
Hero raises to $1.50, BB calls $1

Flop: ($3.00) 9 4 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $2, BB calls $2

Turn: ($7.00) 8 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $5, BB raises to $10, Hero folds

Final Pot: $17.00
BB wins $16.50
(Rake: $0.50)

Preflop and flop As i Said – just OR 100% + c-bet 100% = show a profit

Turn : I picked up 8 so its look for me like clear v-bet against 22, 3x, 4x, 55,66,77 maybe A high → after his minraise I puthim on range like this :

Board: 9h 4s 3c 8s
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 87.500% 87.50% 00.00% 616 0.00 { 88, 44-33, As5s, As3s, 98s, 6s5s, 98o }
Hand 1: 12.500% 12.50% 00.00% 88 0.00 { 8d6h }

I didnt have enough EQ to continue against this guy so I decided to fold.

===============

BB: $74.60

(Rake: $0.50)

Preflop Pretty standard = he decided to call : guys on NL50 dont like to fold hands like 88 99 KQ QJ KJs AJ AT so lets call OOP ;).

Flop play : this flop is dry – I dont expect him to call me with many worst hands (maybe AJ and AT ?) + this guy is playing straight forward so I decided to check down myy hand and be good largeo portion of the time.

Turn : I picked up A on the turn so I decided to make this “bluffy play” and get call flop Qx maybe 99 and obv A high ( with intention of shoving any river obv )

River : the Q rolls of and situation looks interesting : he might have Qx I have this Qx in my range veeeery small portion of a time ( given a flop check )
I decided to shove river cuz after Q rolls of on the river he is holding less Qx in his range + I can induce a call flop those pockets and worst Ax obv. Do ya like my play or more on the spewy side ?

=============

ufff :]

Now we can go to 2nd part of this post = my mentality during the session.

So totay I was on horrible mental condition, in last 2months I lost soo much money on stars and my mind is owned by one thought “oooh shit, you are soooo donk – you SHOULDNT go on stars/unibet to maxymalize your EV – you SHOULD stay on FTP and now play NL400HU”.
I had some tilt in my mind before the session so I need only small triger to put me on the monkey tilt and it happend …

this guy was playint horrible, limp/smal preraises with crap and c-beting all day long anything, calling any my huge+EV bluffs with bottom pairs no kicker on 4tostraight boards.

So in this hand i Decided to trap his limp/reraise and pick up some money from c/bet on the flop.

When he called me I put him on any pair on this flop obv ( I made a stupid reraise so stack/pot ration wasnt perfect on this turn ) but I decided to ship it in cuz he was cally and this 8 might give him some additional EQ = more reasons to call here 67 _

and he shows me pocket 66 ther … after this I decided to close the tables.

During the session I wasnt playing my best game cuz this thought about money lost on stars is owning me so much …

any toughts what sould I do ? obv reading once again ‘the poker mindset’ and ‘elements of poker’ looks good ….
