Commitment hit Monday morning

[eemil]

I am gonna do my commitment tourney Monday morning local (eastern +7 hours) in one of the 180's in buy ins between $4-10 in PS.

* Flat is empty
* Limited number of torneys available
* Max time 4 hours per tourney

I will eat well/healthy today and tomorrow
I will go play floorball tonight
I will hit the bed midnight latest
No alcohol tonight
I will read Bond18 and Deeds articles
I will read MrLuckys big stack play and Bishamonte stack size comments
I will develop a plan
I will avoid overdoing commitment, overanalysis, levelling
I keep skype on but being remote follower not active participant
I use OPR and HUD
I try to find targets, where I normally suck
I will take my changes if clearly under average
I will abuse the bubble if situation is favorable
In headups with matching stacks I will raise pre 3/4 of the time from button

If I bust in the first hour, I will start another one (next to start)
If I bust that second one early also I take whatever 90's man for the last shot.

Wish me luck and if you are late bird rail me,

Eemil

Thanks mcLucky

stack at start of level 3 2 555 so ok

a lot of junk, one river laydown with mid 2p on flush board.
one double up classic QQvs. AKo

looks like the estimated number of hand per level is off.
it needs to modified from 25 to 13

[eemil]

Game is wild

No spots what so ever, down to 2250, so 1100 below target


One total fish dominates table with huge stack, I am going fishing

[eemil]

no hands no plays, I am in clear shove mode with 1900 stack, way behind the plan.

player are dropping like flies, 71 left after 1 hours.

Table is full of fish, one competent, 3 unrated and rest really low ratings 5% to 37%

[eemil]

After level 5 one double up I pushed from small blind with A5s againts two limpers.

Big stack fish called with 56cc and I hold. Stack is now 3500 and I am still in the game but 2k below target at this point.

[eemil]

I am in tight spot here, made one play which backfired and stole blinds once. Stack is 2,1k and antes just kicked in. 40 left. And now moved to new table so super tight image is gone.

[eemil]

out 36th. I shoved against early position miniraiser with my 1,7k stack at 250/125 level. I got what I wanted - my 910s vs A7o, no help.

I was suprised how long I lasted with the hands I had. Pretty satisfied with the result even the tourney was brutal pain. Table full of fishes and no hands to play.

Here is the hand history, streak of wonderful hands and show pretty well were is my weakness. If you guys have recommendations where to push I would appreciate the feedback.

Hi Tomi! I took a look at your hand history and here are my thoughts. Would love some discussion!

14: Lead the betting in this Big blind special on the draw heavy flop. Villan 1 has been in a lot of pots. It’s not likely anyone has a set or 47. Lead and get value from the draws or take the pot down. I’d lead about pot here. Once the 2d hits I don’t know what calls your bets that you are beating anymore. Go ahead and try to check it down, and call a small stab, otherwise fold.

15: Go ahead and complete with your suited K7 in this limp pot. You’re looking to flop 2pr or better or muck the hand. The implied odds here are huge.

17: Woa? UG raise, 2 callers and you have 88 in the co. Opportunities like this don’t come often. You’re getting odds to set mine and you will have position in the hand assuming the button folds.

21: Villan 9 has been fairly inactive, so have you and you raised from ep. When he shoves 70bb, what did you estimate his range to be? I will rarely fold QQ in the first couple levels to these yahoos, but here I think I would have at least thought about it. What would you have done holding JJ or TT?

23: You are getting way more than 20:1 implied odds on a set-mining call with 22 here.

39: I’ve seen you overlimp some pretty speculative unsuited hands in position. I think you need to add some stabs at pots in order to make this a profitable habit. Or in this case on this loose c-station type table just fold and save the chips for a premium hand when you’re likely to get paid off. I would like to hear someone else’s opinion here.

42: I like an open with KQo here. Especially given that you have the loose big stack in the blinds.

68: Fold. No pot goes uncontested here. 3’s are no good after almost any flop and these donks call down with bottom pair. Villain2 has been raising limpers chronically. I don’t see where you can extract value from this hand here.

85: Fold: You have <17bb you are looking for a spot to get all your chips is and double up, that’s it. Limp folding costs you too large a percentage of your stack.

95: I fold here. Is this incorrect? You know you’re getting in as a dog, you know you’re getting called. I wait for first in vigor or more strength. Even with just 5.5BB. With T9s you are a 1.7:1 dog to a 14% opening range. With all the dead money in the pot maybe it’s not so bad?

Hi and big thanks that you took the time and went throught it. I do value your effort.

I havent take a 2nd look at it more than first few hands. What I do remember that the overall play at the this one was kind of wild and it did impact my willingness to gamble or commit.

The first two hands 14 and 15 are pure brainf arts, simple as that no excuses.

Hand 17: This one I do remember pretty well. Normally I would have joined the group but this time I estimated that it would become too expensive to setmine. Possibility of pre raise, pretty sure that flop board will bet so no free cards which means flop it or drop it. Kind of weak but that was my though.

Hand 21: I think that my preraise is standard which can mean many thinks to villain. As he does preshove(70bb) big A is major part of his range AQo+, AQs+. The big question is which pairs include his range after this push. My guess is 99+, most probably not AA.

As this is clear overpush, why does he do it? Most probably he doesnt want to any of active and kind of wild villains to join without paying the full price and as I have been passive me to fold. One more option is that he do not understand betsizing at all. You can see all the possible variations at these levels. Once and while I do overpush my rockets in this type of situation as many people will call pretty light as it does not make any sense.

Anyway I did stop to think and but it was still kind of easy call. Both JJ and 1010 would have gone to the muck.

I will pick this up tomorrow and continue.

Hand 23: Cant give you any good rational than just playing weak tight. Small pairs should be easy to play.

Hand 39: I second your view. Other members views would be nice to hear. Overall I like much more play suited two gabbers and unsuited one gabbers or connectors from position with shallow stack than small pairs. This might be good to certain extend like over xx bb but when u go below the level it is just spew if I cant make moves without hit in the flop or combo draw.

Hand 42: KQo is a hand which I don't have clear view how to play it. Now we come to the one of areas which I am not really good at which is optimizing push/fold. Maybe one of the reason is that at these levels people will call with much wider (I am pretty sure that big stack is would call a small shove with A2o+, any pair, most broadways and some suited connectors) but still it does not change the fact that I need to improve this area. I haven't went through HH in PT3 but if I have to say based on gut feeling KQ is one of leading loose hands if we don't filter stack sizes.

Hand 68: Agree with you. I just wanted to get tricky with slim change to see cheap flop which didn't happen.

Hand 85: Idiotic limp, push of fold. Standard fold, creative shove.

Hand 93: I like to play these much more than A rag against a raiser. I am in dire strait here and I guesstimated his hand to be this type as he had. I don't have any FQ and bad part is that I need to hit to win the good part is that when actual hand vs hand is stoved I had 47,7% equity of the pot and like my changes.

If you or others have comments please do comment and give your feedback. Like I said earlier thank you very much that u took the time to review it. I will take a look of your 8R HH comments but for now I have to holiday break and take a family trip to countryside. I will be back after 27th of Dec. Merry Xmas everyone.
