Play poker, think poker, write poker

Yesterday, I learned that, in PLO, you can go all in preflop with AAxx and still have only 10% equity.

I was not able to play poker the last 10 days or so, and hence didn’t feel like writing a meaningless blog.

However before that I took a shot at 400NL during the first days of June that for around 6k hands is going pretty bad. I am behind like 7-8 buyins and the bad thing is that I am playing bad. Not sure exactly what are the reasons, but I will make a detailed session review these days and maybe even post some hands here. It looks like this month is going to be my first month in the red since I started playing 6max.

Not nice, serious actions are needed.

Meanwhile I moved to 200PLO, which over a small sample of full ring and 6 max is going great, so this is what kinda makes this month not so terrible.

I will play some 200NL these days make detailed session reviews and come back with more

One session at the end is what made this month from mediocre to very good.

I was busy most of the month and didn’t quite put the hands I wanted.

I played 4 tables and it gave good results, I am more focused and more read-oriented, still sometimes I make ridiculous plays in situations where I am unsure of where I stand because I don’t want to take the decision that makes it even tougher.

I took a few shots at 100HU, NL400 and PLO up to 200 and I am feeling good about my game.

Next month is going to be tough and I actually hope to sqeeze in as many hours as this month.

Last night, I decided to finally put in a serious session during some normal hours. I was off to a bad start after getting stubborn with my JJ against a KK, but then the session just started going my way.

On every table that I sit there were maniacish players and on many of them I got to sit on their right and they were paing me off. It was a crazy session, one to remember. And I guess it will might take a while before the next time I make 10 buyins in 1000 hands.

Due to many side activities I took a long break from the game.

Today I put in a small session. I seriously don’t understand some of the moves people are making.

I had a sence that this oppoenent is playing loose preflop and making moves postflop. Also the timing of his raise was very suspicious so I put him on FD,77-99,xT, and JJ+.It seemed that I can fold significant part of the behind range and I actually belived he could fold Tx here. I mean, my range here like 90% of the time is TT+.

Both players were playing aggro 23/19 style with a lot of 3betting going on. I am quite unsure how to interpret their play on the flop.
