I think the AKs hand w/ nut FD + 2 overcards oop vs a reg is a good spot for a x/r, you have 2 blockers + a ton of equity.

Even if he calls w/ an overpair or 2 overcards, he will be scared that you barrel OTT. The J OTT is perfect for barreling a 2/3 psb and pick up the pot.

Well yes, I did fold but I felt something was wrong and could not work out which street. Thanks for that mate.

Yh a few people have told me I should XR here. It could well be EV+ too but I think (after discussion) that I played it the most EV+ way with the information I had.

And as per your request!!!

Thread has been going one year - GIRAFFEEEE!!!

Made more ugly by the 24 BI downer where I moved up to NL50 somewhat hastily the first time (overall a positive experience though!). If you want other info just ask ofc.

EDIT: In $ I am down $1400 pre RB which is basically that NL50 shot. I am 99% sure my ex staker and I came to an agreement on that loss and if so obviously I am very happy about that!

I feel this is played badly but not sure where I could play it any different?
Not a good spot to bluffraise the river because we block a lot of villains busted flushdraws. We do block AA-KK but I still think we can find better hands. Any suggestions?

Short Term Goals Week Commencing 21st July 2014

1. At the start of every session make a post-it note of two things to focus on each session.

Put up "CBETTING" and "MARK CBET HANDS" again. Did not seem to get many opportunities today though and short session (as yesterday!). (Week = 3/3)

2. Post every single marked hand for the week somewhere and prove to yourself you did it! - Posted 8 hands yesterday, 4 from that session and the left over from previous day. (Week = 3/3)

3. Check a preflop range versus another player every time your trigger cue happens. Measure YES or NO and keep running total. Aim for 100% completion. - Yes! Quick look at BTN v CO. (Week = 3/3)

4. Post a "hand of the day" into blog. - DONE! (Week = 3/3)

5. Play 8 hours. - Played 3 hours 32 mins. 6 mins ahead!

Good day, plenty of good poker talk on Skype and posted some good hands.

Gradually adding in things to my process/set-up which are making me feel more professional altogether!!

Tbh, I never even considered bluff-raising the river! I just haven't seen many villains (or got enough reads) to deem it necessary yet at my games. Totally exploitable or what!?

But as you say, I can see this would probably not be the best hand to do it with here.

I'd Cbet it.
Seems like the best ooption vs x/fold, call or raise.

Definitely cbet that. Pretty tough to have much more equity without having a FD on this board, and the 50 population is going to fold this board significantly too much in general.

I would mix it up between a check call and a check raise. cbetting leads to all sorts of trouble imo. I would check fold most of my range here. Villain often has got a stronger range then you for flatting.
Therefore you will get raised and called off your mostly air range. Villain is in position and got a stronger range AND the board misses everybody.

play back with a mix of check raise and check call. Our hand has got a lot of robust equity and also potentially to check call turn and river if we spike a pair. Or bluff the river if villain checks turn.

Really don't see how the board hits BTN's range better than ours. Standard flatting range there is mostly suited broadways and PPs, some suited connectors but probably nothing lower than 87s. We have more overpairs, more 7x, as many boats/quads, and more flush draws. I don't see how that equates to 'weaker range'.

Hey Rob. :-)

Yeah. I'm still for cbetting. I don't think it's correct to state that my cbetting range is mostly air as I'm not doing it excessively in comparison to the number of OP's etc I have. I can defend against raises.

Also, to x/call I have a ton of draws here with more equity than this, and all just as robust so I'd rather x/call some FD's and perhaps OESD (though in practice I'd probably cbet it exploitively and I think it'll work).

As TDA pointed out. I think it's quite accurate that the population will under defend here, and they especially won't defend by raising too often so we'll get to realise equity when called pretty often....

Need to find a trigger for putting a range out there for criticism each day... Something I do once per day to remind me? Oh, I just thought of something I do once per day. Probably best not share it though!

fold, fold, Hero raises to $1.50, fold, fold, BB raises to $5.00, Hero calls $3.50
His overall 3b is 5%, 3b in BB is 5%, 3b versus CO is 7%. I thought about this for a while but its too pretty!

BB bets $4.00, Hero calls $4.00
I am basically peeling one here, his cb in 3b pots is 72% and in SRP it is 69%

Turn: ($18.25, 2 players) T
BB checks, Hero checks
Pretty sure XB is correct here.

River: ($18.25, 2 players) 7
BB bets $11.50,
Snap call? Could play AA like this, not sure what bluffs he can have, maybe he value bets worse?

I'd bet turn there I think. He can call you with worse and his single heart hands aren't able to see a free card

Hi mate! I did not put any single heart hands in his bet flop and check turn range to be honest. Which combos do you think he plays like that (with heart in)?

For value? To me it's a a trivial bet turn, shove blank river spot. We have the best hand like always and can have missed draws.

It's pretty standard, JTs is a good hand and easily high enough in our range that we need to defend it especially IP.
