Session Review

[mxrider]

Gonna test this out a bit and see what it is like. I think it is a lot easier than a video since I don't have sound recording ability anyhow.

129 hands.

Possible error with the replayer in hand 25. UTG + 1 gets to check first in???

fold A8 hand on the flop in the 3bet pot

You have a consistent problem sizing your isolation raises the same size as your open raises. Add 1 big blind per limper to your raise size.

In hand 17, raise the SB limper preflop. I prefer stabbing at the flop to stabbing at the turn.

In hand 19, fold the min3bet from a less than fullstack not closing the action. The postflop calls without 2 pair + were pretty serious spew.

That's as far as I got. I might comment on more hands later if I have time.

[given1982]

Hand 47 I open.

Hand 52 the turn is spew, and I think that's been explained in the thread about that hand.

Hand 66 raise preflop.

Hand 82 I already commented on in the thread on that hand.

You didn't top up to a full stack for many orbits.

You played pretty nitty overall. It might help your game to open up a little and get in some more postflop spots. Plus it's just fun to spew.

The table you were at was pretty bad. If that's the best there is at Full Tilt and Stars 25NL, you need to switch sites, but I suspect that you are not table-selecting as well as you should be.

Next time, I would take out the hands where you are folding 82o and such. If you are asking people to take the time to go through a bunch of hands, you should take the time to edit out the ones that have no content. Or at least flag the hands that you think are interesting in the post. It's not like a video because you're not giving commentary. Also, you could give us the reads you developed through the session, or at least the stats of the main villains.

Thanks for your comments Given as I do appreciate it a lot. I'm trying to find the spots where I am spewing, and yes I still have a lot of them and the only way to plug the leaks is to show my flaws and have it beat into my head

Very good point about taking out the overall dead stuff. With this being the first "session review" using the replayer, still trying to figure stuff out. I think giving stats would be a good idea as well, although you will see them play just as I did if I include all hands.

Totally agree

Hand 66 raise preflop.

Are we pretty much raising any 2 here when sb limps or is it due to the fact that we are suited and semi connected???

I've become spoiled by Tilt's auto rebuy option and forget to add on.

I'm trying to first become a consistent winner as I know I have the potential to be and at this level, I'm finding it not very necessary to get too crazy. I think you are right with regards to my positional advantage when in CO or on the button after ep players limp or raise.

The table you were at was pretty bad. If that's the best there is at Full Tilt and Stars 25NL, you need to switch sites, but I suspect that you are not table-selecting as well as you should be.

Totally agree here as I actually thought this a couple times and I just find myself "playing through" the stuff. I'm working on my table selection.

[no eff eks]

First of all... why did you sit at a table full of short stacks? Got to table select a bit better than that...

General impressions... You need to loosen up your raising range from the CO and especially the button. Notice that your button raises got called almost never, even though the guys in the blinds were both pretty loose/passive. You need to balance your range somewhat early on and these kinds of players will never fold to your button raises. Obviously you need to adjust for that once it starts happening, but it's definitely a good thing to be playing lots of pots in position.

I'd also like to see you opening suited connectors from UTG along with the premium hands. I saw you fold 86s and T8s from UTG and I'm not even sure if it was 6-handed.

You seem to be a bit too tight in the blinds against steal raises -- and that's coming from somebody that folds to steal attempts 80%+ in the BB.

My comments on specific hands....

I like an iso-raise w/97s on the button in hand 9.

Fold A8o to a 3-bet even getting good odds. RIO nightmare...

I'm not a big fan of folding ATo in the BB to the button raise from an aggressive player. I'd probably call, with a little more history I'd 3bet. (hand 39)

TT hand where you run into TPTK... I really prefer to check behind on the turn. You're really only getting called/raised when beat, and it's a wa/wb situation so there's not a huge risk in giving a free river card. PF and flop are played correct imo. (hand 52)

Hand 61... I call with QTs in position against an aggressive player. The other guy is calling almost always and you're not dominated very often.

Hand 63... I call with J9s in position against an aggressive player... actually I would've most likely 3-bet there.

Hand 81... prefer a raise with A7o in the CO, but folding isn't bad either.

Hand 82... you run bad?

Hand 97... T7s is a pretty decent hand to call or 3bet in position against an UTG raise from an aggressive player. Nothing wrong with folding, but I think playing this hand has a positive expectation.

I didn't watch through it, but I just wanted to say that this is pretty awesome and seems to be working really well. Taking out the 100% obvious hands could be very good for streamlining this content.

Do you guys think I should create a custom forum for HH replayer session reviews?
