The call pre with QQ is certainly a decent play. I mean, you could just 3b if you think the fish will call 3bets a lot and doesnt really care for your hand strength. If he was like 70/3 or something I would probly 3b lol.

As played, im sort of torn between lead and raise otf. I dont like the XC. If villain has air, we will only get value otf, unless is really agro and barrels bad runouts and if the fish has like bottom pair, we wont get much. But if he has a draw, he is never folding, so I def want to raise if I check but tbh I think i would lead out. Just because all you said was btn looks reggy and I dont know if he would cbet this board that often. If he were liable to XB a decent amount, which i think a lot regs will on this board with a fish in (unless they have a hand) then I would bet for value against the fish. We might miss one street of value from their draws and if it checks through and an overcard to 2nd/3rd pair comes they might not like their hand as much also.


The KT hand I would bet the flop and look to barrel any club to fold out there random floats and sometimes small PP's and XB K/T and maybe bet river small like you did. I would prob bet $1 as played tho to make sure their range was as wide as possible

Do you often just call w/ QQ OOP in such situations (to allow a fish to limp/call)? Do you also play like this w/ KK or AA? Aren't we loosing value by doing so? Aren't we loosing too much equity? Do you play more or less straightforwardly postflop?

no,no and no

It depends!

If I have been 3betting a lot I would 3b most ott. If the fish is limp/folding, I might just call with TT-QQ to trap the fish and I mean, I have like super good hands preflop against the regs crappy iso range, so it isnt that hard to play OOP. Especially with QQ.

With KK, I might flat but not very often. With AA I am always 3betting because it would be a disaster not getting the regs stack when he gets "coolered" and fk the fish, if he wants to play, w/e.

got housed v2.0.

vs 32/18. prob coulda folded after he min raised.

at least its not your money but yeah regardless you will still feel bad
cya at the tables

chin up
ill post my last 20k hands graph
-2100bbs vrs ******S
sucks hard
but ive dropped tables and reworking at my game now

Just thought I would point out that your thread should be titled "I want this badly", since you are describing your level of want.

Grammar Nazi ITT

That AJ hand was well played. (Thin) b/f'ing is the most important line I experienced with in the last two months. Just bet and fold w/o a very strong hand.

why check the 2 8 2 flop after 3 betting with KQ?

happy new year everyone! haven't really played at all during the holidays, but now im back!

new years resolution:
-stop dicking around, and play!
-exercise

i find myself browsing youtube/facebook while playing, and i snap quit the session to dick around on those sites. no more of this!

i also want to lose about 15 pounds or so. i use to be 150lbs out of high school, now 180lbs. no more fast food/sodas.

good luck to all of you, and i wish you the best this year.

reasons:
-i don't think pp's ever fold
-he's probably check/calling a ton with overs/Ace high
-im probably going to have to fire more than 1 barrel vs a FISH to get him off those hands...which doesn't work well vs a fish who loves to call down
-im a pussy
