STTF SNG -> Cash Thread #2

[jurrasstoil]

Also, if you catch yourself saying stuff like: "why the feck did i call/raise/3bet in that spot? I know i was behind/beat/drawing dead/not folding out better/etc. it doesn't make any sense whatsoever" or "i can't beat shyt... *clicks call*" quit and take a break for an hour or two because you are probably not focussed or way off your A-Game.

I have that a ton

Does a third barrel suck here? First hand with him, as he just sat down. He's probably never folding any piece I guess. And plz forgive the micro stakes ldo.

i'd probly pot the flop then shut down. don't ever expect anyone to fold at these stakes.

DD I would CR the flop big enough to be able to slightly over shove the turn.
If he checks back it aint the end of the world.

[DevinLake]

this is a spot where I'd usually plan on c/betting and then c/r the turn. Or just double barreling.

But, once the 7 peels on the turn, I think it becomes a pretty bad spot to fight hard for this pot. I'd just check and see. If he bets small enough, I'd call...if he bets big I'd fold.

As played, the river is a check unless you are willing to just over bet shove the river. But, he's still going to hero call Tx some % of the time. So, just giving up is best.

DD

ignore my last post, I mis-read the hand and thought u flatted a PF Btn Raise.

As played I agree with Dev's line on a paired turn turn.

[Doublez-Down]

Thx all. Just started using Leak Buster. Does anyone have a lot of experience with it, i.e. has it helped a lot? Or is there anything I should be wary of? It seems pretty sweet so far.

After playing sngs for the last 6 months or so i decided to get back into cash games after downloading hem using the 15 day trial.

So today i played 2437 hands of NL25 4 tabling for a loss of -$117. I will save you all from the usual crying about suckouts. Looking at these stats for shown down hands, is it me or have i, a) not hit many big hands and b) had the worst of it when i do hit them far too often (i assure you i am not slow playing biggish hands).

I have decided to go back to cash for a while after downloading hem using the 15 day trial. So today was my first day and i played 2.5k hands 4 tabling for a loss of -$117

I will save you from the usual crying about suck outs and stuff. Is it me but looking at these stats did I, a) run really bad in hitting hands, and b)not have the best of it very often the times i did hit these hands.

I don't know, hem is new to me so not sure what to make of these stats.

25NL will suck the life out of you if you aren't careful. Always remember....they are not playing back at you. And don't get AI against another fullstack without at least two pair or better (fish being the exception obv.)

You'd be better off posting your vpip/pfr/3b/f3b/cb/etc.... stats than those above.

[Cornbread Earl]

would you all tell me how you think i played this hand ?? thoughts, analysis on all streets appreciated. it may be super simple.

only reads on villians is that i dont think they respect my play. they call alot.


thanks

Yes, I was referring to FR.

[dipstikdave]

earl, i recommend making it 4bbs pf especially from ep. pot the flop to get max value for your hand before a bad turn card kills your action. turn is a sucky spot, but i would bet again since there are still draws and smaller pairs that can call.

[DevinLake]

JJ hand:

I'd bet/fold the turn, there is a tonne of value imo even though it's a 3way pot. So, much of their weaker parts of their range just picked up more outs and they'll call again (T9, 87, 99, 77, 67, etc) and they'll call any Tx. And they'll almost never bluff raise, or value raise worse.

River is a c/f.
