New month has started! July was a rollercoaster with a horrific start and a massive climbing in the end. Still minus (without rake back) but not as bad as it looked like after the first 2 weeks. Just as my private life… I can say that we are in much better shape and can handle our lost now.
Anyway, I’m in Steve’s new coaching group with 4 other lucky guys! Very excited honestly! In the past couple of months this is one of the best things that happen with me.
This is a profit sharing coaching group so I think Steve will be happy with my start at this time… Just as me actually :-)))
We had two days off and we travelled a lot with my wife. That was a great time - have fun and 'notthinkingaboutpoker' or everything else. I think that was necessary for me after the last few sessions when I messed up everything.
Anyway, I came back with fresh mind and I feel that I’m re-energized.
I played last night again and after several 23/19 type of sessions (with a lot of random aggressions which I couldn’t handle) finally I played tighter and calmer again. I tried to focus on myself and find my game again. Something maybe happened on our weekend ‘cause I was well relaxed and satisfied – thanks for the beautiful places and for my lovely wife. No, she is not behind my back… :-)
Here are my general stats from this session.
I’m not happy with all of them and I know this is not the way how I need to play in the future if I’d like to make my dreams, but I need the coach to build my game up. I’ll write a mail to him tonight, right after this post.
Actually my vpip and pfr are too low, just as my steal attempts (this one was 40+ in the last 2 or 3 weeks) – but I can say that: this is just short term :-P
I think the aggression and the 3bet were both enough.
And here are the graphs
Honestly I don’t like them too much. There is no consistency, it’s just another rollercoaster, but I didn’t lose at the end. There were losses and wins where my move were correct and others where weren’t. I’ll show them immediately.
AJs vs ATo
Bad move pre flop – he bets from MP not from UTG. I was too passive on that street. This is a ‘must to raise’ hand. On the flop, when he called my raise I realized that he has some kind of hand, actually I put him on AT+ or TT+ and 88 (remember, I didn’t 3bet pre flop). On that turn I didn’t want to let this hand go, that’s why I’ve bet again. Maybe the 2/3 pot was too much. I don’t know. I’m not so proud of this hand.
AKo vs AA
I think I didn’t have too much choice here. He was 60/20 (okay, I had only 10 hands from him at this point). After his light 4bet (not an all in) with that stack I was sure that he has JJ+, AQs+ or AK. And I think that after I already invested $3.25 in this hand this call was mandatory.
My lucky one - AKo vs QQ
PokerStove says everything: he was the favorite 69-31… By the way I’ve made some notes about that pre flop call with QQ from SB…
And I’d like to introduce yesterday’s weirdest board
He was a 93/21 drunker and I was just 4/4 (because of him on my left) at this table.
One more thing!
I stole a couple of ‘meters’ from pocketfish007 and Mr Fickle… So my 4TABLESMAXOMETER is 1 just as my NOLOOKSTREAKOMETER. I’m very happy with these results right now.
I’m totally embarrassed because of my play. I don’t have any more time and money to waste. I need to write to the coach immediately.
I feel sad. I’m absolutely confused. I think there were too many different type of advice and help which I get in the last few weeks or months. I’m sure they were good, but I messed up everything and couldn’t find myself in this chaos. I was a ‘very easy to play against’ type of rock, but now? Now I’m a monkey. I’m aggressive but I don’t know what to do with it and loosing so much. I know it’s not about luck, it’s about me and my wrong play.
So this is it. I need help as soon as it possible. This is an emergency call, not a test! S.O.S I’m sinking…
