with commentary

been on massive 40bi downswing since playing ftp (originally played at ipoker) before this session which ends up being the start of a much needed 10bi sesh .
I believe my main leaks have been a too high cbet % and turn barrel (without considering what i can barrel/backdoor draws etc) and also trying to win EVERY pot I play.

been working on hand ranging my opponents throughout hands alot and i think im definitely improving with that.
vid is 6 tabling because i wanted to get in more spots but i generally play 4-5 tables better.
would like to hear what people think of my tht processes in general and where i can improve.

I took some time and made a review for you. Overall I think you are a really good player. I recognized what you said about your downswing. You run bad and you where trying to take every pot down and so on. I know what you are talking about. I hit a downswing last summer where I whent down 30BI over 50K hands. Ran about 50BI below over that sample. I turn the downswing and made 60BI over the next 50K hands. Just to loose 30BI over the next 50K hands. So all in all I was break even over 150K hands.


1:47 98s - You say: I´m gonna call the 98s, it´s prob a fold. OOP I think this is a fold as you said. If all both of the villains where deep I think calling is ok given that you are closing the action.

6:30 TT - Think you made a good fold on the turn. He bet kind of small but as you said he are prob going to bet most rivers and you are in a shitty spot.

14:45 KJ - I would also call. He gives you the right odds. Sometimes bad players minbet strong hands too and it would not be a fun spot to c/r the flop just to see him raise again.

15:45 92s - I think 92s is a little too loose. You dont have the best image either. Yes, its suited and you have the button but I think you should avoid hands like this if you find yourself in such a huge downswing.

17:33 TT - Maybe 6 month or a year ago I would have checked back this hand only to find myself outsucked by AJ/KJ/KT or something like that. We want him to fold out his equity.

21:45 A6o - BvB, I would fold or 3b this hand. You almost only relys on you ability to steal the pot. You are behind most of his Ax too so when you hit an A you are not superhappy becouse its hard to get value from worse. (?)

25:50 QJ - Good fold I think. YOu are way behind most of the time even if you block a lot of combos.

29:00 Q7 - Again, Q7o is´nt a great hand to steal with (in my book) . No str8/flush possibilities helping you barrel or turns and rivers.

33:00 AKo - I would fold to his $5 bet. His small stack makes the implied odds not worth it. Feels weak maybe but the position is bad too.

34:23 86o - Dont like the iso with 86o. I dont know how often he folds to cb but if we starts iso with weak hands like this he is going to limpcall with many hands that dominate our hands so he needs to fold A LOT to make it proftible.

36:00 KK - Dont think the jam is bad but as you said a bet of $20 would prob work more often. Jam or a bet around $20-$25 is fine.

37:00 A3s - When one of the villains is short, fold pre is prob the best. You can see your postspot now. If they where fullstacked your plan of c/r the flop is pretty good. There is a lot of turn card you could barrel then.

38:00 JJ - Snapfold the turn. I would hate playing guessing games on the river and it will be expensive most of the time.

43:00 89s - You times out but I think a fold is the best play here too.

44:50 A7s - I like the squeeze, the fish have limpfolded a lot and you look superstrong in the regs eyes when you squeeze and its a loose shortstacked player in the hand.

45:00 AK - Good spot to call and play in position as you did. You will always see the turn and can save money without hit. You earn more vs his Ax that he would fold vs a 4b.

47:45 A3 - In SB I think its better to just fold this hand. Hehe...As soon as saw it I wrote down my comment and after that I heard your comments about tha complete.

49:40 55 - Maybe it is weak to fold to the flop c/r but I think in the long run it is a good play with pocket fives. It´s nothing wrong with just giving up once in a while.

55:30 AQ - As you said, you had deeper stackas so I think c/c the turn is better. I think he might bet AK on the river to if the river is a blank but he is def folding to a c/r on the turn.

58:00 JJ - You played that hand perfect. Hept the pot small. He made a tricky bet on the river that looked so much for value but as you said he gave you to good odds.

thanks alot for doing that mate! agree with yr comments and its good to see that i didnt do anything too spewey in your eyes
thanks again.
ps, im diggin my way out of the ds slump pretty well atm. nearly out.
