Hello, let me intruduce myself.My 2+2 name is FishFishFish and im a swedish player who started off with a no deposit bonus on ipoker, playing the $1 husngs and built my roll from there. Been at most networks and im back on ipoker again now.Right now im playing the $30 reg speeds because i hit my worst downswing so far and lost like 25BI or something totally. Ive never been a turbo-player really, but in the beginning when i started at ipoker again i thought i could give it a try and did good until the DS, so a few days ago i realised im not beating the turbos and ive now decided to go back to reg speeds and been doing well so far and they are by far the best option for me.Future goals: i will hopefully move up soon to the $50s when my BR reaches $3k, $100s at $4k (if i feel im ready) and im hopefully moving to malta once its reached $6kWell thats me,i will be grinding hard this month and hopefully improve as much as possible. Now im going to read some of the threads.Btw if anyone plays the same stakes or w.e on ipoker let me know :) My SN is Skruffzor
I'm looking forward to helping get you out of your downswing :)
Cool :) Doing great in the reg speeds, won 10 BI yesterday and like 13 BI today so i will now move up to the $50s.This hand is vs a -20% fish who wasnt to good, he did some strange stuff like overbettnig.

Same villain, should i call flop and call a safe turn?T3o is not normally in my open range and cant remember why i opened it, but when he minraises, should i snapfold this hand even with the price im getting?
I would check turn with the JJ, I don't think you get that much value out of a bet. I'm folding pre with T3o even to the small 3bet. Notice it's not a minraise, we can call ATC to a minraise. On the flop I just jam.
Okay thanks!

Is it super normal to do well in one level and when move up you get crushed?These arent a big samplesize at all and i know my roi/winrate isnt sustainable but i would be happy with a 5% roi.My last 5 days after starting with reg speeds again looks like this:a few $20s and then $30http://i52.tinypic.com/2qcdmow.jpgMy 10 first $50, the thing is i have tried these before with the similair results and it doesnt feel worth it to even bother with them.http://i51.tinypic.com/2d7tq2u.jpgI want to be winning at the 50s with like 5% roi so i can eventually move up to the 100s someday.How can i adjust to a new level and what should i think about?(i hope everything came out correctly, im so tired that my brain isnt working to 100% atm hehe)
First 3bet in how many hands? I jam 77 readless for 48bb for sure.
Just way way too small number of games to talk about them. There is a small difference between those levels but not one that will make you get crushed at the 50s and dominate the 30s.Mixing between stakes helped me a lot when I was moving up. Play one table of a $50 and one table of a $30. That helps with the psychological aspect of it.
Okay cool, it was 17 hands in to the game.Yeah okay makes sence.I only play 1 table, should i still play like one $30, and then play one $50?
I strongly suggest learning to multitable if you think you can. It's one of the biggest things you can do to increase your profits. But if you're not comfortable with it I wouldn't start at a stake you're taking shots at.
Okay will start looking in to 2 tabling asap, though the traffic isnt all to good on ipoker, should i maybe deposit some money to another site too and play 1 table per site? This hand was pretty early vs unknown and i feel i played it lolbad. Would a lead be better on the flop and then just check it down?

Villain is a good reg, ranked 4 in sharkscopes total profit in 2011 at ipoker.Is this fine? I cant see what he would possibly bet t300 into t360 at this board with.

I lead flop with the 45 readless, and I just call the c-bet as played. Usually I would c/r this hand too, but I think vs a pot sized cbet he's continuing too much. Reads that make it better to c/r are him c-betting a lot in limped pots and playing fairly fit or fold to aggression. I would give up on this turn, too much stuff that called flop is continuing here.
Flop is weird for sure but I usually just fold with the AT. It's weird for him to have a big hand but it's also weird for him to have a bluff considering a much smaller bet would get folds, and so I mostly put him on marginal made hands. Once the turn is a Q I think we have the best hand too much to bet like this while getting value out of nothing and not bluffing out very much. What was your reasoning for your turn bet?
His flopbet made me think he had a good ace like A9+ but probably not AQ and it was those hands i wanted to bluff out and not get to showdown and lose to AJ for example, which is exactly like you are saying not alot of hands really.
and so I mostly put him on marginal made handssomething like 88? when he checks on the turn, do you think an half pot bet would be enought to make him fold 77-TT ? maybe is less bluffy than close to pot
I don't think he ever ever folds those hands, especially with a flush draw on the flop.
Yeah, AJ/AK is just far too few combos.
€42 on boss, 8 min blindsNo stats because boss isnt tracked on sharkscope, he felt like an OK player (def no reg), pretty passive and limped his buttons and checked flop and min bet the turn alot and called alot from the Bb and folded to cbet.This is his first min 3bet, or his first 3bet at all.Just calling would not be good here right?

Yeah, I wouldn't flat. I think that's results oriented. I usually would just jam as well.
