    This is the problem with 1/3 cash games, you read the players like they play like you, which realistically they should, I played last night against an absolutely reckless player and was just waiting for hours to finally get him I was so card dead I won 1 big pot on my 2nd hand didn’t really play anything after for over an hour, so hard to actually read what players have cause there ranges are so weird

      Yeah, usually I play better and watch their play, and try to guess why they played like that, and how it translates to their other hands. I was not playing well, and couldn't range my opponents

    That was a LOT of sets. Really remarkable.
    You may want to consider a hard limit for losses in a single day. Not just to make you stop when you're not playing well, but because some days it's not your day, even when you know you can beat the table.
    That said, I felt that outro in a visceral way. I'm impressed by seeing you take your medicine and vlog the losses. It makes me optimistic that better things are in your future.

      I agree. I made the comment a couple vlogs back when he was stuck 5-6 buy ins. He didn’t seem to agree, insisting that he’s still playing well so he doesn’t think it’s a problem.
      Personally I bring 3 buy ins, sometimes 4 max and that’s my hard stop loss.
      Some days it just isn’t your day.

      He’s trying to build a bankroll of $10,000 (25 buy ins). When you’re trying to build a roll you can’t afford to be losing 20-25% of your bankroll in one session. And it’s happened multiple times.

    Obviously, I’m watching this much later, but I don’t think an occasional upsized flop bet is bad. I think it helps you assess the strength of their alleged hand…it makes raises more polarized. I think a turn fold makes more sense in that light.

  • @davidprothro6763
    @davidprothro6763 Před rokem +4

    Imho… It seems like you think most people are as knowledgeable about the game as yourself. I would imagine that most peoples unorthodox play is just them playing as good as they know how. If so, you may be adding too much weight to their betting tactics as a way to know their range.

      One teacher I listen to, says in 1/3 the average player bets because he either has it, or will have it, and they almost always call.
      Being a 1/3 player… I resemble that remark. 😉

    • @MaydayAggro
      @MaydayAggro Před rokem +2

      I'd say, instead, that 1-3 is MUCH more player dependent. You can play 2-5 players with your default strategy most times because they GENERALLY have ranges and betting patterns that make sense. Most 1-3 players don't know what a sensical range is, don't know how or when to bet, and either overfold or overcall.

    Can’t believe I’m seeing this video two days after recording my biggest loss at $1-2 as I’m trying to grind out a $10,000 challenge. (Currently at 6500 after my last session) I dropped $1500 in 13 hours of play and if I didn’t know any better I would’ve swore you were recording me rather than your own Vlog. (Card dead and SUCKOUTS galore). Just know, there are plenty of us out here feeling your pain. Keep grinding and keep the content coming, Really really enjoy it!!

    @MaydayAggro Před rokem

    T8ss: When villain bets the river, I expect him to have no worse value than Ax, and almost always much better. The problem with thinking "he'd bet larger with ..." is that it does not take into account the fact that there are very few bluffs by the river, especially ones that unblock your folds. Maybe a hand like 64s, but something like KQ would block a ton of folds.... AQ is actually a hand I would expect to see call on the flop, especially in 1-3. "It's two overcards with a bdsd!"
    99: I think checking the turn is usually a bad idea, since opponents will more likely call with a worse hand on the turn than on the river.
    J9dd: You say that Ax wants to bet the flop, but Ax lower than A7 does not really want to bet because it can be behind a lot of your value range on the flop. Solver actually does a TON of checking (and that's assuming HU), including Ax. Ax also blocks some of your bluffs (6xdd). Solver also prefers a full pot sized bet when it bets J9s. I'd say you could probably size down to 2/3 when multiway, but less than 1/3 is definitely too small IMO, as you can see, because both players continue. When both players call, I expect at least one of them to have Ax.
    JJ: This combo is always betting and almost always 75 - 100% heads up. MW 66% is fine. You say that you would have faced a "much smaller" raise if you had bet smaller, but that's not necessarily true. He raised the current size of the pot, so he probably would have raised the same in relation to the pot either way. He may have even bet larger in relation to the pot against a smaller bet, since it appears he is trying to price out draws with his raise. The crazy thing is that solver jams JJ 95% of the time after that raise. That jam assumes that villain is raising with AT, a lot of his flush draws and straight draws, and then calling with all of the flush draws and all AT. If you think villain is doing this, your bet size and turn raise are fine, and you probably end up all in by the river either way. If villain does not raise AND CALL with all these hands, the bet size wasn't the problem - the turn jam was.
    *TLDR; If you believe villain raises AT and flush draws, the play was fine. You just ran into the top of his range. If you do not think he raises those hands, you should not have jammed the turn. Don't blame it on the flop bet size.*
    AT: After the second slow roll, I would have said something. If AT isn't strong enough to bet, why are you raising after a bet and a call? I almost never raise here.
    A3dd: Solver bets flop 92% of the time, primarily 30% pot. This was a 3! pot, so the ranges are different from SRP. 3 minute slow roll is insane.
    I really think you played fine overall. You just made a couple bad plays at bad times. Tilt happens to everyone.

      Love reading your hand analysis'! Even if I don't agree with some of them, it's always nice to explore other thought processes, and I like how you explain the point behind your actions! I think I played pretty poorly here, lots of Folds I could have made to minimize losses

    Your mental game is fine, good attitude! It's just,variance your playing well. Some players may start to play passive when this happens and as your about to demonstrate over the next few vlogs this is mistake. I predict you will continue to play your game and it will go well.

    I think you were on tilt and did not make some best decisions again a nit or a player you have a read on. On the A3 hand, you make a two pair on the turn but you unblock sets and on the river, there is a flush draw completed, villain is likely to have either a flush or higher two pair ( you can only be called by better hand on the river as so many things come and you unblock all of it).
    That is my thinking but great vlogs thanks, love the variance xD

    I think if you are trying to build a bankroll you need to exercise some more discipline with your bankroll management.
    You will never build a nice roll if you keep allowing yourself to get stuck 5-6 buy ins in one session.
