Fair enough!

Why did you bet the turn here and what are your reasons for considering an overbet turn shove?

again, I didn't play this hand..and posted it here from another forum.

We have a monster draw + TP .. let's assume that villain's calling range on turn is
xdxd,K9o,K3o,Q8o-2o,J9+,Jc8d,Jc8h,Jc8s,Jd8h,Jd8s,Jh8s,Tc9d,Tc9h,Tc9 s,Td9h
,Td9s,Th9s

Vs this range we have ~52% eq... So, checking is probably fine.. But i don't know, I got a gut feeling that overbet shoving and putting villain in an ackward spot is much better..

Turning your hand into a bluff and 3bet shoving flop is probably gonna be +EV vs this villain imo. Vs unknown I'm folding flop

It looks to me like a lot of the weaker part of his range is going to fold to such a bet.

If all of that range calls a smaller bet, it can make sense to bet again, but I think checking in this spot is probably better, some of those weaker hands are pretty loose flop calls as well and probably less likely than some of the ones that do better against KT here.

I'm curious to see what others think, but I'd advocate a turn check in this spot.

Do you think it's better to play @ ipoker on 55% rb or go to pokerstars w/ smaller rb, but more bad players? I'm playing $52.5 atm.

Are the players on Stars really worse than Ipoker?

What's the rake like on Ipoker, 5% or 10%?

What's your volume look like per month?

eurosites are softer in general yes

Yes, that's what I always assumed, at every level.

The quote said that Stars had "more bad players." I guess that could technically be correct, but they have more good players as well and overall Stars should be tougher.

There is some focused material (hands in this forum, Cog Dissonance and Mersenneary husng.com videos for example) but to truly utilize everything available for super turbos, you'll want to really focus on mid to end game concepts, which you can find in any type of good heads up sng strategy article/video/thread (good place to start would be spamzor's HH reviews and end game thread here on 2p2, it's in the sticky).

It sounds like you are definitely better off on Ipoker for now. 55% rakeback is better than everything you can get on PokerStars aside from SuperNovaElite (not really possible at 50s).

Ipoker should give you an easier opponent on average and a better rake return.

Now, if you find yourself having to wait 30 minutes for games or something crazy, then PokerStars might become your best option. The way Stars and FTP have gobbled up traffic (even more so for Stars it seems), that's beginning to look realistic at many rooms when you reach the $50 or $100 levels.

Villain is rather aggro but not calling too much oop. First flop c/r.
Should I fold turn?
