July Wrap-Up
Ended the downswing about a week after it started and I’ve just been grinding like crazy the last 2 weeks to make a profit. In the end I’ve had a good month and I’m ready to start August. I’ll be going to Norfolk on Sunday for a few days with Marlyn so I don’t know the volume I can put in there while she’s in conferences but I do expect at least a couple hours of play in.
Notes for the past couple weeks:
07/21
Before bluffing donk bets first determine your opponent’s frequency and the board textures and range that he is likely to bet/fold with. If after 2-3 times of your opponent not bet/folding his donk bets it is clear he is doing it with pairs that he is not willing to fold.
————————————————————————
07/20
assuming deeper stacks, button limp/reraise large is stronger hand, limp/reraise weak is weaker hand
when your opponent pauses before betting a scare card on the turn, its more likely to be because he’s deciding whether to valuebet or not. Bluffs would probably be more quicker and not as hard of a decision.
————————————————————————
07/17
Players who have shown the tendancy to slowplay their big hands habitually tend to have a weak range when they fast play very dry and bluffable boards
Instant checks on any street seem to be very weak, especially in position
weak turn bet by donk followed by big river bet = nuts?
put players on tilt by calling with weak and marginal hands then hitting, draws too
guys who try to berate their opponent might be more susceptible to tilt
————————————————————————
07/16
players with wide ranges can also value bet thinner, this is why calling down more than 1 street with bottom pair or ace high vs opponents with such wide ranges generally isn’t a good idea.
With effective stacks 150 bb+ and against players who don’t fold to 3bets: make reraise sizes larger, from 3x to 4x etc.
