Low-mid stakes player, trying to figure this whole poker thing out, and make it to the top. Process over results, and trying to make the best decision I can.

Just made up the numbers with about 30 days left of my trying to live as a poker player, and with 30 days to go I have made:

+3855$

I feel like it could have been more, as I’ve had some very high equity spots not go my way. But all in all happy, and look forward to the last bit

He called all in on turn, then blames the site! Comedic actually

Underrated poker feeling

Being quite certain that your opponent is bluffing because his line or timing or whatever doesn’t make sense, you click call, and you’re just so right

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@ScottBunn The good old variance, you can do everything perfectly and still get fucked, this is why boy everyone can do it!

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

What feels better?

Winning small but consistently, or winning inconsistently big but with swings?

For me winning consistently even though it’s small hits the best, proves I can beat the game.

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@pokerheadrush Yes, for low stakes, c-betting 100% is probably more effective than perfect silver c-betting strategy, or not probably, it is

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@PokerJermz Lol, maybe YOLO on FT is the goated strategy

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

What would you do here on FT?

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

Poker progress is weird.

One week you feel lost.
The next you suddenly see spots you didn’t even notice before.

Same games. Same stakes.
Different understanding

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@jackkuehner I ended up folding, but very well could be a call in this setup, not a specialist in ICM (yet) so i don’t know if the risk is worth taking

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

Does not matter for my decision ofc, but SB jam was JTs and original raiser with AQo

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@aktsean Ended up folding, sometimes it’s difficult when it’s lower stakes I feel, OR was not playing “normal” and opening too loose, like EP raise 55 when covered by 3+ stacks

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@richfromkeynote I agree with this, yes

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@DunphyDun33329 Yep! Felt really close, I think it’s fold JJ and call QQ, if I flat QQ here

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@Jonnywatf0rd Sizing was a bit all over the place from this guy, but 3x was not “standard”

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@GodMode248 It's Denis The Menace, not Denis the +EV player. He is not playing to play optimal, he's playing for the rush

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@Sdavies22 Good advice Mr. Davies

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@Choppodong1 Overcard on the turn, they still call, overcard on the river and they also call

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@GodMode248 Bad bluff from Rob? Considering JRB is calling more than usual here. What do you think?

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

Fixing leaks and seeing your winrate increase is such a good feeling.

This is your sign to identify your biggest leaks at the moment, and then plug that shit.

[Daniel Melson @SolidApplePoker]

@RobinPoker_ @wpt_global Really depends on the player, bad player probably not good enough to find this bluff, good player and you might just have to call
