Rapidesh you also 4 betting just about anything OOP vs regs with even a slightly high 3 bet? I remember that Q9s when you 4 bet me with it from UTG and I'm just like shiiiieeeet a nit like myself doesn't even open it from that position, while I played it like a little beech and didn't get max value outta you But if you're playing like Oro, if it works it works.

lol, sometimes I open Q9s from UTG, I think it's bad, but sometimes it's good to open wider when there are a lot of nits auto-folding

But you should be afraid of 4-bets coming from UTG, even I don't 4-bet bluff a lot from that position

can you share the hand?

BTW, sad hand =(((
was it a cooler?
I think i had some dynamics with this villain, he saw me probably as a 30/25

I am afraid of 4 bets from UTG. But since I know who you are you are way more likely to be bluffing than the average 10NL reg. Here's the hand you asked for. Probably shoulda flatted the raise instead of 3 betting.

Hand is fine to 3bet/call that size 120 bbs deep. Wouldn't 3bet it all the time though

Yeah I'm experimenting with mixed ranges as opposed to having completely fixed ranges vs hard to exploit regs back in Arp days.

Dunno how to convert HH while keeping chat. This dude once backraised KQ into my KK/AA or whatever nutted hand and said fvck you after he saw what I had. Apparently he was pissed enough to google me and find my Twitter.

The hate is strong in that one.

One of the most important lessons I've learned is to never makes enemies at the tables. So easy to go on mega tilt after a reg you've berated in the past stacks you and then talks **** to you in chat

I like making enemies and creating dynamics, the problem is when you have like 20+ enemies in one stake and every one of them is trying to outplay you in a different manner lol

So it's good to make notes of the people who are mad at you. there are names i remember for more than 3 years, like sushisan, jojo_pap1, cazeUSP, nopasarán! lol

one of the most fun things in poker is having dynamics with regs where u reconize their name, remember hands played etc.

It might be fun for some people that aren't complete mental game fish like me I suppose

personality leak imo, you cant change what someone says but it's entirely your choice on how you manage your emotions when those things are said - not just for poker but life in general

peel pre vs that size 3bet

I'm not having much time to play (..being really busy in the new location of my studios..).. but ive take a little bit of time 4 myself and played a session that u can call session at nl5 zoom.
I've def play my A+ game and i'm really happy with the work i've do on my game..i'd also forget how much i like to play.

Session was unbelivable full of coolers and bad beats, set Vs over set... and bla bla bla... but i still win some bb..and thats good..




I could post a lot of this **** but here are my favorite two*

Vs a nitty guy..i put him on AK



Vs fish



GLGL**

HAHAHA! That would actually be awesome. Having 20+ regs hate you so much they go on ****** tilt and try so hard to stack you no matter what. ++++++EV

it depends, if some random nit that would never 3-bet you start trying to bluff and rebluff you, it isn't a +EV situation
just see the hands of the rampage mode thread, I played 4-tables on ZOOM for like 10k hands in one day, 3-betting more than 17%, I realized what was happening when I saw someone who as a 9/5 nit turn into a 12/10 and was stacking off with JT vs some random guy on a steal situation

LOL

maybe we should prepare a super squad team to tilt one ZOOM stake like that haha, just to see what happens lol!

That would be lit! Everyone just play 40/35/17, have a really tilting picture and talk a LOT of sh|t.

I'm down for that, let's find more 8 players and make a skype call haha

usually it's +EV, even though you may slightly lose by 3-betting a lot for 10k hands, in the first 2k you will have probably a 20bb/100 winrate, also you will distort people's HUDs.

also you don't need to be 40/35, when I did rampage mode i had like 20 VPIP, the idea is to get in only 3-betting, most of the time I would wait for people to raise, if they didn't do it, I folded lol

Can't tell if you mean literally only in for a raise or not in at all. Would be really fun to do it for a bit just to fvck around by literally only raising or folding.

It always turns out badly. Maybe win 2-3 buy ins at first whilst regs that have history with you don't adjust to your sudden new play style, but then a sharp 8 buy in downswing in 1.5k hands will make you retreat to playing normally. Much like when any small stakes reg decides to change from being a standard 18/15/5 tag to 23/18/8.5 agro endboss

I think rapidesh means just fvvvck around at baby stakes like 5 or 10NL where even if you go on a 10 buy in downswing it's just one buy in at "real" stakes.

Anyone else secretly happy about the removal of SN? Just got back from a nice 3 week vacation back home. Played lots of live poker, didn't even think about playing online once. It's pretty nice not having to worry about constantly earning vpps and staying on pace. Might even try some different sites.

Just played my first session of the year. Went pretty well.




Mostly thanks to this sick one. Nice to be on the winning end for once.

NL50 is hard, people are adapting a lot to my style, also they're hero folding a lot when I have the nuts, while calling me down when I'm bluffing

I don't know what to do anymore, any suggestions?
