Not to mention that this is such an incredibly vague and general question lol
I've mentioned it before, but I really think you're jumping the gun on trying to understand poker man. As far as I can tell you still don't fully understand what equity is. You don't understand basic terminology, or apparently even how to post a hand for analysis. Which is totally fine, we were all beginners once, but you can't really force it
You seem very eager to learn, which is awesome, but if you don't know what you're doing then you're not going to be able to advance at the pace that you want. I would honestly consider hiring a coach of you want to learn and truly understand the most in the smallest amount of time
I see. I didn’t know that RFI only refers to preflop opens, I assumed it meant any street that hadn’t yet been opened (hence it’s name, ‘raised first in’), so thanks for the clarification. Saying that I’m jumping the gun isn’t constructive, however. I’m trying to identify what to be applying in any one hand; clearly I don’t understand how to apply GTO yet. I wouldn’t consider identifying what to look for ‘jumping the gun’, I need to at LEAST know what I’m trying to apply? I understand basic terminology for the most part, just not where/when they apply hence the thread.
You’re probably right that I don’t know how to post a hand for analysis, this was the first time I had done it.
I assumed that if I hadn’t specified there was any action preflop, it was just a check… so specifying the size of the pot wouldn’t make sense, because it’s obviously just the blinds. But I can see how using ‘RFI’ alludes to an unspecified preflop action, as the first person to raise postflop isn’t considered RFI. So I’ll be sure to outline all action when I post a hand.
Would you like to take a shot at answering the question?
Describe your bullet-pointed approach for this hand:
SB calls to 1 BB
BB checks 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 2 BB)
Hero (SB) has 8h Jc
Flop: 5d Jh 4d
SB checks.
BB raises 30% of the pot (0.6BB)
(I won’t be specifying stack depth here because I don’t want to consider that just yet)
What do you choose to do as SB?
What factors are you considering?
Identify what you’re looking at, and therefore what I should learn.
