I felt like checking riv was def the best play, tho betting something tiny was prob ok too as this guy def might bluff raise that. I think shoving or betting like 5k is really really terrible, as randal said he is way more likely to make a huge bluff than a huge call. Also when I shove riv it's like impossible for me to be bluffing.

So I checked riv, he bet 6k, I shoved for 9k, aaaand he folded after thinking for ~15 seconds.

nh wp etc. ansky has inspired me to start posting a little bit more.

NH. And OT, TerrorofSweden is a great name given this guys playing style. I find it somewhat amusing.

This isn't close to Ansky's range and if this is your range its awful I would much rather call 22 than KTo. I would also rather have 78s than both of those.

I think you are missing the point, or at least how I took it. It doesn't matter what Ansky's range is, what sucks is that if this guy views him as some scared satellite kid, he may put him on a tight range where AJ is the 2nd most likely hand in the range. Not saying we should fold, really that just isn't right. But there is a chance that his guess of hand, might be correct. Since Ansky would have quickly realized if this guy was a very good lag, I assume his post flop play involves a lot of range guessing.

So we call, but I may not set up the post flop play to get all-in with one pair.
Really that comes down to how bad this guy is, but if is blindly aggressive, none of that matters, we stack off with TP

On the flop, I think B3B works pretty often.
I don't think he expects that you would fold a K. But he probably doubts you lead with one too.
This isn't a great spot for him to float with air, since you could lead the turn, and depending on bet sizes, would be getting 2-1 to call a push. I think he is much more likely to try to bluff the flop, if he is bluffing. If he flat calls, I think his range has a lot of hands that beat A high. It is just a guess, but I think we gain more letting him reraise bluff the flop than we do by folding out bad 1p hands.

He bets pretty much his entire range on the turn, check-call.

River, sure our line fits a flush, but it also fits a enough hands that will fold to his river push. Plus there aren't that many hands he is checking behind that he would have called a bet with. Basically, unless he has an A, some kings, or 88-JJ, we make more money letting him bluff. I think he still bets 2p type hands here.

ok scotty

LOL I got owned hard by this bump

Cliff notes: mastr is better than everyone else, betgo hasn't changed in five years to the surprise of nobody

Yeh, seriously, I should probably not have posted in threads like this. Way out of my league.

Mastr was my teacher until he won a bracelet event and told me he didn't have time for lessons. I probably wasn't capable of learning anything from him, but I did teach him to limp.

Wow, this was when HSMTT was HSMTT. Think durrr posted in this thread. Also, the dark ages with 3x opens and 2.8x 3-bets.

haha betgo. I feel like I would almost never lead here but think it's pretty cool and maybe it's optimal IDK. I think check call down is the only possible option after that.

prob my fav post in the history of 2p2

Yeh, I post good stuff here about math strategy and so on preflop issues, but I am not top-level with postflop play or x-betting wars between top players and probably shouldn't post on that sort of thing.
