fold flop

4b pre too small

really???

think folding a % of flop is okay, like some of those without backdoor flushdraws, but mistake happened pre where sizing was too small, and then compounded to later streets.

I doubt AQ, and QJ play like this, and we still have KK and AA in our range.

I'm not folding TPTK in a 1.5 SPR pot, when I cold 4-betted a re-steal, only vs the king of nits, and this guy isn't a king of nits.

I mean never fold flop

If you want to move beyond the micros, you have to make those kinds of folds. I don't see a hand that you beat that plays this way. At best, you're chopping against another AK.

Hand seems to be played fine. Calling flop then folding on this turn seems really bad and folding on the flop really doesn't seem to be a good play given our preflop sizing and that villain is aggressive.

As I posted here, I make huge folds vs people who are never bluffing, even folded that set to a single raise, trips, overpairs facing check-raises OTT, river shoves, river raises.

But vs a 3-bet monkey I'm not folding the top of my range in a 4-bet pot, even, specially in steal dynamics, specially when villain knows I cold 4-bet light

He might be a 3bet monkey pre-flop, but that doesn't tell you anything about post-flop. He took the line that a typical microstakes player plays their monsters post-flop. He min-raised a board that smashes your range, hoping you would call with exactly the type of hand you had (which you did).

Anyway, maybe I'm completely wrong. That's just the way I see it.

yeah, min-raises are always for value in the micros

This is one of the most absurd hands of poker I've ever seen in my life.

Why would you 3 bet AJ on that flop

Why do you ONLY slate people? Does it make you feel big? Post constructive feedback for once in your life instead of trying to make yourself look good.

Pardon?

Why are you so angry? It's a legitimate question, we have top trips and great equity vs everything apart from JT and TT. Why do we want to fold out his bluffs.

I am pretty far from only slating people. Please don't be an idiot.

I'm not angry, I'm asking you a question. Every single post I read from you is you patronising others with blunt responses that aren't at all constructive. How do you expect a player to learn from what you are telling them? You don't, because you don't give it out to help them improve, you literally comment the shitty feedback to make yourself feel superior to them/show how good you are. It's so obv, and so tilting, hence my comment.

"typical micro player" =/= "micro player's minr is always for value". plz get over yourself.

Wasn`t that Aj hand played between OTB and bit2easy ? Is anyone here filtering the information is reading ? This forum is gold for the ones that really want to put in the effort and improve, which is probably less than 1% of all people posting here.

I guess you haven't been reading the thread up until now then

thanks man!

it's something people sometimes do
this hand could go into check-check mode until the river, but I found a guy that played like me and the madness began OTF, then both players thought that the other had a monster.

Then we both gave up, thinking the other was slowplaying to induce spew(one of the reasons we usually get punished by villains) lol!

BTW, bankroll is at $350,
got it up to $450 in the first 4 hours, was playing really well, but in the last 6 hours played poorly and lost $100.

ofc ran good, sad that I spew so much of that

Is it fine to get it in always AK in steal dynamics vs CO?
I'm not sure if I should keep doing, just getting destroyed every time
what about UTG vs BTN?

UTG vs blinds I'm sure it's wrong, right?

Which do you think they are?

I'm confused when I'm in single-raised pots on steal dynamics, usually don't know what to do.

Sometimes I decide to bluff, fight for the pot, make some lighter calls, but it usually goes bad.

Sometimes I fight 0 for the pot and I feel people are running me over, I don't know what to do when SB steals and I'm the BB and flat its steals, so I mostly 3-bet them.

Here are some examples of hands I played by calling steals today.

do I check the river to induce bluffs? Should I check-fold the river(vs a TPTK/overpair bet-check-bet line?) Should I bet the river for value?

Is a float OTF ok?(thought about barreling some gutshots OTT) Also is flatting trash hands IP vs min-raises fine?

Should we bet KJ OTF after checked to? I think my float bet frequency is super high and Kx has some showdown value here, so if villain knows we're always betting when checked to, they can always check their value hands and own us.

Sorry if those spots are too basic, but they're the ones I struggle the most, since the way I learned poker was a mix of fit-or-fold/bluffing like a monkey. When I started playing, I only flatted pre AQ and PPs to setmine, so I didn't develop that part of my post-flop skills: playing pots with marginal hands.

I basically had the nuts(set), or a check-fold hand, that I could either check-fold or turn into a bluff, so I don't know when to hero call. I've been trying to force myself to call more and try to find some bluffs, but they rarely show up.

But on the other hand, I feel I'm getting bluffed a lot, specially on these spots.

The good thing is that I know how to fold pretty well lol. In theory, that + valuebetting should be enough to beat the micros, but I'll never be good if I can't call turn and river barrels with marginal sdv hands when the time is needed, right?
