"Welcome to Valuetown!"

We had the 3rd coaching session with Steve and he found two huge and coherent leaks in my game - again.

The first one: my betsize is usually too small and because of this the pot couldn’t be enough big to stack my opponents off on the river when I’ve got the best hand.

The other one: I miss a ton of value on the river with good hands. For example I have an overpair, I (raised pre flop, then) bet the flop and the turn. After my opponent called me all of these streets I have no idea where I am. I think if I bet he will call me just with better hands, so I check – in position too… Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? And a lot of times (especially because of my shy betsizes) they’re calling me with TPTK or weaker hands.

We reviewed my hands where I made these mistakes. Man, those mean minimum a buyin in every session that I played. And that’s the minimum.

When you can’t win enough with your huge hands, but lose a lot when you are behind that could be very frustrating. I didn’t find the reason on my own. Now I know what the key is.

Here is a very good example – I’ve played this after the coaching



Without Steve’s advices I bet smaller on the turn then check that river (or bet a 2/3 pot, maybe…if I brave enough) and win a medium pot.

So the difference is huge: you win 30-40 BB or you win 100. It’s not the same!

I’m still too result oriented but honestly my stats are much better then ever before. My aggression has grown up, my cbets are much higher so I can say that I’m on the right way and everything depends on time. If I’ll be patient the result will come too.

Steve is giving me the basics session after session, so the ball is on my side. We can build something big on these if I’m growing up for my dreams.

Since the 2nd coaching session

The main goal is still to improve my aggression, especially my cbetF! But you can see the growth already.

Just to remember: my cbetF was under 50% before the coaching intro session with Steve. Right now it is 76% and there is still some room to make it better - I had session where it was 94!!!

My WSF was under 38% all the time, right now (last 10k hands) it’s about 42%, which is my best I think. There are a lot of details but I don’t have too much time to talk about it right now (I’m working actually).

Instead of my clever, useful and blessed words here are some data of my play :-)







The only thing that I couldn’t change is this roller coaster. But I know sooner or later the result is coming too…

CBetF – there you go!
