Zoom / Rush Poker thread - Page 701 - Beginning Poker Questions

those seem more heavy 3bs than lighter 3bs, too make it lighter you would need to add in lighter hands such as 74s and/or 85s. KJs/QJs are pretty heavy hands, be careful.

So you recommend using a polarised range when 3Betting out of the blinds vs CO/BTN open rather than a merged range (as a default vs unknown and the micros)?

@Shagz: I've not watched the video myself (yet), but this https://www.pokervip.com/en/coaching...rategy--part-1 maybe rather useful (I belive its free for all when you get an account)

in the bb we have noone acting behind and we are getting a discount on a call, so we are more incentivised to flat more of our defending range and 3b a polarized range (like AQs and 34s). 34s being a playable hand which does fairly poorly without initiative but has good barreling potential post.

What range do you put him on pre? If he has A9s/A8s in his squeezing range along with all combos of AQ, you're actually beating his value-range. Even if JTs is in there, you're flipping. If he only squeezes QQ+/AK and doesn't go crazy with one pair, then you're dead ldo.

Study mathew janda's book , its pure gold , it teach you almost everything , even if you dont do crazy work with it and simply follow his advices and ideas you will improve and you will generally understand what looks correct or not therefore you will learn how to exploit your opponent's mistakes.

Also after reading it i have to say most of the stuff you will see on coaching sites or this forum is basically advice from his book , it will help you to understand better the stuff you see around you and use them to improve further.

Hi all, I have a somewhat unrelated question that I don't know where to ask and I don't want to start a new thread.
I figure that this is appropriate question for Beginners forum but couldn't find LC thread.

Looking for a PGC thread, here are things that I remember about it:
- He's playing deep ante 250bb 6max on Stars, at the start of thread he's playing no less than 5nl and not greater than 50nl.
- He's playing a really aggro style, I think something like 40/30 and has huge winrate.

Cardbrute seems very likely but I was unable to find the old PGC, maybe he used a different 2p2 username then?

Also, it can easily overwhelm a not-very-advanced player and distract him from aspects of the game that are actually usefull below nl500z.

Just watch some videos, there is ton of them for free on youtube or pokerstrategy.

I wasnt saying that the book is useful for midstakes+ players, I was saying it's not useful for low stakes players. In spite of books title, it's too theoretical.

On the other hand, since I read right after it was published and didn't come back, it's possible that those concepts that felt dry and needlesly complicated to me back then would serve me better now.

I am aware of that, I'm an active low/mid stakes player (well, mainly low these days, as the games are getting tougher).

if your playing on stars there are a few things to try,

1. make sure HM2 and stars both run as admin
2. make sure HM2 is up to date, same for stars
3. open HM2 before stars

if you are playing on some iPoker variants or 888 SNAP, HM2 doesnt work on 888 SNAP and you need to use the older iPoker clients on some sites such as coral
