I don't think we are necessarily at the top of our range but I do somewhat cap our opponent as he jams turn with a lot of his value since we are showing so much strength.

I would prefer calling more often 2pair+ than jamming because on BvB spot both player's range is so wide and I want to keep OOP's range wide and let him bluff often OTR.

The issue with jamming is I don't think we necessarily have a lot of bluffs and we block his calling range.

I think this is much more player dependent.
If BB is good player then he must turn low SDV hands in to bluff as C-C-B line
hands like stuff like KJ , QJ , QT , Qc3c etc.
iirc my opponent was too sticky on whole street so I rather prefer B-B-B with my TPTK.

Board looks thin B-B-B with AK, but since I started cb with POT OTF, there won't be a lot of made hands to my opponent OTR.

hey sound.

26:30

I agree that SB's CB sizing is bigger than usual pool's tendencies.
I believe most reg and I prefer 25~33% cb sizing here.

but you can check 29:14 PIO range bet even if we set up 50% sizing on the flop.

you can check on 30:32 that PIO checking range 70%+ after 50% CB OTF.
so therefore we have some incentive to bet AQo here (which i don't prefer either w/o double suits) to give OOP maximum pressure against to mid pair and pocket pair regions. (AJ would take hard time I guess)

But I think there's a gap here between the real world and the solver world. Because I don't know exactly if SB always does range bet 50% on K99tt or with only certain hands.

I would estimate some HUD stats and notes and keep it simple with XB non double suited AQo here before I get some read against OOP.

If i have some exact read that he range bet 50% OTF then I can RNG stab here stuff like AsQd and would take a benefit from his relatively weaker checking range OTT.

sorry for mumbling sound guys

Demondoink no not 100% tbh

you mean do I understand even if sound issue?

wow very nice contents and explanation! and welcome !

lets goooo

I think in theoretically BTN should calling off AQ type hands sometimes.
88 beats all the BTN's indifferent bluff catchers so should be shove for value? idk exactly

Kind of crazy to see that 2 pair hands have 90% equity BvB on this 4-flush board and they can actually value bet the river! I don't think I find anything outside of a flush that is value betting here.

It's cool to see AA and JT has 90%+ equity and still enough to value shove.
I think it's because when SB arrives the river with XC-X-X line, the range when humans arrive OTR, and the range when wiz or pio OTR is so different. Actually, pio or wiz would play very aggressively OTF like JT5tt, so I don't think the range will be protected at all when they arrive OTR with XC-X-X.

I expect a 3rd barrel to come through at a high frequency

This is true but villain should giveup sometimes when they have a holding that IP's folding range so much

My thinking behind folding the turn is that we don't get to realize our equity very often on the river. I expect a 3rd barrel to come through at a high frequency, so I would want JT+ for an 8out draw or KQ+. QJs/QTs are already close to 0EV without the FD to go with it.

IMO,
In theoretically , villain should bet polarized OTT , so therefore we should defend our
middle portion range to make villain's bluff indifferent.
It's mentioned in the video, I think 9h8h is good because it doesn't block the opponent's bluffing range a lot.
I can't turn on sim right now so I'm not sure exactly, but I expect SB should barrel more JdTd, JcTc instead of always barrel JhTh or JsTs on the turn, so I don't think reverse implied odds of IP would be super big when 8 cames on the river. For T9, since SB barrel KJ on the turn is quite free from being denied equity by IP's shove OTT , reverse Implied odds seems a bit bigger when T cames on the river. I think A9 is a slam dunk call on the turn. Because it blocks the value range very well and has clean two pair outs

I was a little nervous that many people might find it uncomfortable due to my lack of English, but thank you for enjoying it :D

Things that happened in July 2

I was getting very tired of myself because I spent a very long time sitting in front of the computer playing online poker and not doing anything other than going into lab after session. I always wanted to go on a trip somewhere, but I couldn't afford it because I wanted to go up as soon as possible in the poker scene.

In the meantime, I had a live tour schedule in Japan, which is very close to Korea, and a few days ago, I went to live tour + trip for the purpose of refreshing

I exchanged quite a lot of yen for the 3 most expensive tournaments, but I failed ITM for every event LOL. 4.5K dollar blowed up , but I still had fun memories

Things that happened july

I upgraded grinding enviornment

After installing the monitor arm, I have almost 0 physical strength to do anything else that day

My goal for july

It's a lot late to set a goal for July, but basically it's to exercise consistently and play high-quality games.

To set a goal to become a better person in August, I will aim to read a book for at least an hour a week, even if I don't finish a book during the remaining 12 days

1. Read a book
   1hours for a week.

June recap

It's a little late to do a June recap. I'll try to do the July recap as soon as possible.

1. Do some exercise
   Okay at least , I completed " Do some" cause I entered and started!

2 Do profitable game consistently.
made 100k roll first and then do any thing next.

I'm on it, made 35k during 2024-06-06 ~ 2024-07-10.

hey dd!
I'm glad to hear your advice and thoughts :D
I haven't been able to update in real time because I don't come in often RIO
Well first , I entered gym 1~2 weeks ago!
I paid for personal training and I work out with my exercise coach. It's always very annoying to go out of the house to exercise, but when I arrive at the gym and exercise, I feel very good

So if your database WR says 3bb/100, well maybe you are winning at
4/5bb/100 for the first four hours of your session and 1-2bb/100 for
the last four, or perhaps you aren't even winning on the last hour of
your session.

I think this is so true.
As I go toward the second half of the session, even with a small bad beat, I sometimes get annoyed by myself, maybe because of the lack of physical strength in the session compared to the beginning.
So I'm actually focusing on quality rather than volume these days and I think this is good in many ways.

I wouldn't say either of these are a bad habit, I would say neglecting
your social life and health are much bigger issues than listening to
music while you grind or checking your results. Fwiw I do both, but I
make sure to listen to music that doesn't have lyrics (or if they do,
then they have to be very relaxing playlists). I check my graph
throughout the session too.

Yes, I also enjoy listening to music without lyrics. Especially, I like guitar music, so I enjoy it. Sometimes when I running bad, even guitar music without lyrics gets in my way, which makes me annoyed. So these days, when I'm about to feel bad, I turn off the music altogether. For graphs, I check them every 1 hour and 30 minutes. I think each pro has different opinions on "checking the graph," but like you, I check the graph to check and carry out my own condition. I'm a little relieved to hear that you have the same habit

This is the gym how it looks

My new grinding enviorment (home) from may
I'm satisfied on my lifestyle except I don't exercise so only thing left is exercise these days.
I should start

My goal for june

1. Do some exercise
   money problem is solved so now time to develop my lifestyle.

2. Do profitable game consistently.
   made 100k roll first and then do any thing next

May recap

1. make a money on other poker sites instead play stars.

   • done. made $18k usd on may

2. Do some stars session

   • I've done 0 session on stars. It's been 50 days since I played stars

3. Deprived of selectrb system.

• Stars relentlessly deprived me of select after 1 month when I didn't play on their site lol

1. I don't think I'm going back to stars for a while.
   • Let's make a lot of money and think about it later.

yo thanks for the kind words! gl at the tables!

<3

My Goal for may

1. Make a money on other poker sites instead play stars
2. Do some stars session once a week to maintain feels (I'm not sure I can do this)

April recap

Results

1. 100z
   my C Won : $ 501.63
   all in EV : $ 237.07
   (so break even )

2. Past Monthly goal on Volume : 120K
   Actual Voluime : 79K
   I endup 79K hands even if I do only poker thing on whole month.

3. Get permanent select rakeback system on April 23th.

*What I felt over the past month*

what I realized is, if you play more than 100,000 hands a month, you'll be able to do almost nothing other than related to the poker.

Because I usually play the poker for about 8 hours a day and then after 2 to 3 hours to review the session, 24 hours disappear when I take a shower, eat, rest, and sleep.

Sometimes I want to meet a friend and refresh on a day when I don't play poker, but there are moments when I just want to relax quietly doing nothing, so grinding with a goal of 100k per month in stars has a very tight month schedule.

So like 120~150k month would be insane really.

I don't prefer to play 4tabling now because 4tabling zooms makes it pretty easy to play hands over 100k a month but I get to play very bad quality often.

btw , Is there anybody who makes 5bb/100 + on 100z or 200z with large samples these days?

I always trying to reach 3bb/100 + winrate , but It's so hard tbh. never get there on Long term period. Please let me know any advices.

I mean I really work hard. I really do.

But despite your hard work, it's pretty depressing if you don't like the results. I know poker isn't a game where I get the same results for my efforts for a certain period of time, but still wanting to see a prettier shaped graph is always my first priority.

Money

Make $2~3k a month and trying to cover living expenses and poker BR both is no make sense in my country.

So I decided to make some money on other minor sites , and will get back on stars after few months later.

Getting rid of bad habits

I didn't post it on my blog, but I decided to get rid of two bad habits myself during April.

1. Listening music during the session

2. check the graph frequently during the session

-1-
I've been absolutely successful at getting rid of my first bad habit. I've been playing music with lyrics and it's so disruptive to the game that I've been listening to music without lyrics for the past few months, but I decided not to listen to it at all because I thought even that would interfere with the game.
You may not create unnecessary emotional fluctuations by simply not listening to music during a session

-2-
This is so hard for me personally , But I will keep try it. I failed this tbh.
When a session goes in a bad direction, I pause or turn it off for a while, so when I feel like I've lost too much bi even if I'm not looking at the graph, it's hard to put up with the desire to check the graph.

My goal for April

Play poker for 25 out of 30 days in April and take 5 days off.
If you play 4800 hands a day and do it for 25 days, you can play 120k hands during April.

Reading you and dd's blog always so much inspiring for me. keep it up! thanks!

fkn site lmao

Do you want to make a community where you have to be wary of writing welcome to RIO comments? That's so ridiculous and breathtaking. So you want to say that every time everyone competing in the leaderboard should writes down super long or detailed comments, If not , they don't deserve a free elite course?
