Sadly my blog is f*cked after JonVIP posted in it, breaking things as per usual. So i am copy/pasting it here.....Please use this one going forward.



Welcome to my Poker Journey Mark II, you can find my first one HERE

Ill give you a brief background here, my name is Dann Williams, recently single and free to actually put the hours into the beautiful game that ive not been able to do so prior.

I was part of the 1st Staking Group via PokerVIP but found it tough to fit in the volume with a FT GF, a business to run and other shizzle but free of all of these shackles, im raring to go full steam ahead now Smile

So, who is Dann and what makes me tick?!

1. Poker (obvs)

Thats why we are here, always been a cash player by trade but flick in comps as and when we fancy a deece score. The above pic is from my bink at G Casino Cov, winning the Titan for just shy of £6k. Also play the APAT tours as well as UKIPTs. GUKPTs and GPS' when i can. Also part of the Blue Blood Poker Team, which is pretty cool.

2. Pool

Played pool for about 14 years now, represented England at University level as well as missing England Trials by 1 bloody frame this season just gone. Still give Abz a game tho!! Haha

3. Social Media

Hey Guys.

I need some help.

As you will know, as i posted it earlier, i am an avid "Twitcher" and am looking for your help.

I am absolutely USELESS when it comes to PC/Graphic Design etc. I am looking for someone to create me a custom Twitch Overlay, and possibly unique "Buttons" for my page. Nothing too time consuming, or fancy, and in return i would happily plug their work on my Twitch Page.

Examples of what i need:

Overlay (obvs not this exact one)

Buttons

I know its cheeky, asking for work to be done for free, but it should only be a couple of hours work for someone that knows what they are doing, and once i start getting 1000's of followers it would be a good advert fo sho!!


Cheers in Advance

BetVictor is up and running. Got my mods installed as my Old School HUD on for now. Not a fan of it, as its too clunky but my friend is a wee whizz on PT4 and designed a super smooth one that he is sending me tonight!! #Winning - Ill get that installed in the morning for more epicness Dancing

WillHill account awaiting Verification, should be sorted by next week, so will do a little spin with that and try to get £££ locked in the PnL too. Will more than likely stream this when i do it. Not sure what my aim should be, i mean we get €40 for free, guess ill try to spin it up to €250 and get half in the bank. Clap

I do most of my grinding on my laptop, as my desktop is old, but at some point will do all my mods etc on the Desktop too, the only downside is that my hands will be on 2 seperate PT4 databases, im sure there is a way of merging the 2 for ease, as 2 moniters on the desktop will allow me to play more tables at once as 4 is prob the max on the Lappy. All exciting shizzle.

Just noticed my PT4 results are in $, so just converting it into € for the time being.

As UFC Hype Train says:

This sums up my attitude with the Staking Journey with PokerVIP and BetVictor. Im not here to make up numbers, im here to boss it from start to finish.

So just about to start our maiden session on Bet Victor.

Tonights aims.

Note 10 Hands for Review.
Clock minimum of 6 hours grinding.

Pretty simple really.

Gonna see how the session goes, and may possibly grind the later hours whilst twitching later. If i do, ill probably turn the webcam off and just concentrate on the tables - so check out my twitch channel later.

So its not been the greatest of starts. Im not gonna make excuses as it is what it is, but here is the giraffe

So 8bi down in 3k hands, pretty vile reading for sure. The yellow line shows that ive basically ran 6bi down when all in, so we can take a small part from that. We are getting it in good some of the time. At least we are getting the Blue Line in the right direction.

Looking at my stats im deffo defending too wide for nl10 so will be cutting that back in the next sessions.

Gonna do a video for Jon tomoz, once he is done with it, id be happy for him to post it ITT so we can all take a look at it. Feel it should be here as part of the journey.

Posted 3 hands for review HERE in my own HH thread that i shall continue to update.

Also decided that i think i want this Banksy as my next tattoo

Love this video, just gets me in the mood!! Little know fact but i am also a part of the "ACDC", no idea what my member # is, or why they didnt fly me out to dance in this music video? Damn them. Still i am part of an exclusive group including Brittany Snow, Lindsay Lohan and Adam Sandler Cool

So.....a Monday Round Up.

Got home from my 1st day of work in 6 weeks....back at my old job, which is cool. Nice and easy, luckily fell back into it like a duck to water.

Came home and recorded my vid for Jon, looking forward to feedback, especially after a bad first 2 days. Will deffo post the finished version on here.

Pumped in some hands, and although we faced adversity a fair few times I powered through till 2am (some of it with a sweat session with Abz) and managed to pull back 2bi's on the week.

This leaves us looking like this after 3 days play under stake

Also followed JBones instructions, and did a quick review for Yatching Poker, you can do the same HERE

Gonna get back on the tables about 8:30 this evening, and either Twitch or run a sweat session, hopefully traffic is good and we can get a solid 3hrs 6 tabling.

Gonna leave you with these beauties, as looking at their faces just makes me smile!!

Had my review with JBone and it was ok, I think it was clear to see that I was leaning towards lines due to having such a bad start to the Staking Journey. Im quite happy to say that since watching the video we have had a b/e and a profitable day, not huge amounts but its a step in the right direction.

Sadly in both sessions i was chasing my tail early on, getting stacked early on with the typical premium < premium a few times, but really feel good playing down the streets again. I think a part of the problem was that i was underestimating the player pool at NL10, and wasnt willing to run the lines i would when i play NL50+, this left me in silly spots. Last 2 sessions i have gone back to "normal" i guess, and its deffo showing an improvement as my Red Line is now taking this line: / Smile

Jon asked me to post my HUD stats here: Its one a friend built and i have used for a while for both cash games and mtts. There are prob some stats worth adding.

What i have atm.

Main - Hands/VPIP/PFR/3b PF/Fold to PF 3b
Stealing - Fold to LP Steal/3b LP Steal/Fold to Flop CBet
ReSteal - Att to Steal LP/Fold to PF 3b/Fold to F Cbet in 3b Pot

JBone also told me to pay more attention to ranges, and dont be afraid to barrel if needed, so here is a hand where I was leaning so hard, i almost fell over!!

Lets get this moving in the right direction now Smile

Ive just created a new playlist and wondered what other people listen to when playing?

Mine is a mix of cheesy pop songs from my youth, that id usually not listen to by choice and some classics.

Including:




Ive also started to use this for a change, the Guardians of the Galaxy Soundtrack which is awesome

Hey Guys,

Would love to know what YOU guys feel is important on your cash game HUD.

Obviously have the basics already, and some stealing stats.

What stat do you find the MOST important on your HUD??
Posted 8 years ago
F3b

I personally find that this is a real instant moneymaker and is something which allows us to steal more vs late position opens. Anything over 70% is exploitable.

Posted 8 years ago
If you are on Pokertracker you need to specify 'Fold to 3bet after raising'. You can get into some very tough spots if not. But yeah since I upped my aggression after some advice on here Fold to 3bet is a winner. I sometimes use Fold To Resteal to narrow the view when I'm 3bet bluffing as I'm not likely doing it vs UTG open.

I also like Float Stats alongside Fcbet stats. I use it to choose when to check value hands where the default line might be to value bet. If Float is 90%+ (and it is a lot of the time) fold to river cbet is 70%+ (and it is a lot of the time) for example.

Posted 8 years ago
Really struggling in some spots.

Any of these a fold for you?

AKhh

Pocket 4s

AK with the NFD

Not sure if i am just being value towned all the time, or just beating myself up but seems that the more hands i play, i see people getting it in with nothing yet everytime im in a huge pot they seem to have the me crushed.

All feedback welcome
Posted 8 years ago
AKhh is a fold on the river.
44 is a fold.
AK with NFD I think I would probably x/c turn.

Having said all that I'm super passive so maybe my view isn't the best to take.

Heres my HUD, i can send you it if you want. I made loads of pop ups for it too that are pretty sweet

The line of 5 stats are RFI by each position so EP-MP-CO-BTN-SB
and that normally sits above a players name on a table

the main HUD is:
Name / WWSF / WTSD / WSD /(bb won)
----------------------------------------
Vpip / Pfr/ Afq / hands
3bet / fold 3bet /( fold BB vs SB) /fold SB / fold BB / (the last 3 are steal stats)
4bet / fold 4bet /(resteal BB vs SB) /Resteal Sb / Resteal BB
-------------------------------------------------------------
cbet / cbet turn / cbet river / donk / stab OOP / fold OOP to flop stab / fold OOP to turn stab
fold CB / Fold TCB / Fold RCB / check raise / Stab IP / LIMP / fold IP to turn stab


Seems like a lot but it's all very useful

Oh yeah i forgot to mention that HUD for hero is alot smaller, it's like less than half of the HUD
Posted 8 years ago
Nice looking HUD there and a nice detailed break down of what it all means. I think an awesome thing to do if you have time is to say which numbers mean what. So we know what the stat is but what numbers should a player be looking for and what would that mean about the player.

For example F3b - 70% + means they fold a lot and < 50% means they will call us a ton. Some of them may be simple and clear like this but others may really help!

Yea man

Add me on Skype (Dannythehair) and I'd love to try it. I have had the same HUD for MTTs and Cash, would love to use this for Cash Games

Thanks
