GG - $300 stacks go in all the time in the game I'm in. If I sit for 4 hrs I'll see 6-10 pots of $500+. Of course some nights less (tonight for example I think there were 3 in 4 hrs) but some nights way more. Tonight I watched a guy limp/call from MP w/ 72o, flop 245r, turn10, river K and the MP 72 called the PFR'er on all three streets and was good. A few nights ago I watched a guy in $1/3 open UTG for $70 and then a few orbits later after 2 MP limpers the BTN shoved for $275. I've been told this game is juicier than most. There are quite a few good players in the room so occasionally you're at a super tough table, but there's also a ton of really bad, really exploitable players.

gg plays in the upside down where it’s routine for $20-25 raises to go 5-way to the flop in a $300 cap game, yet nobody ever gets stacks in post flop without set over set or similar coolers. Presumably pots just get checked down after the flop.

LOL. Thats ridiculous

how? when solvers advocate for a donk leading range its usually a very small percentage of the time. so how is it ridiculous when your sopose to be checking 95-99% of the time, but check 100% of the time to make things simpler. not to mention how difficult it would be for a human to actually balance out this strategy.

If you cant come up with certain examples of when leading into the raiser is a good play, then I doubt you're going to listen to anything I say. Check 100% if that's what you want to do.

I cant help u if u dont know hes cbetting that flop close to 100% of the time. It used to be live players played their hands face off and check when they miss the flop. Now its the opposite they read books and they cbet too often. 5 callers doesnt matter still cbetting everytime. Texture doesnt matter still cbetting everytime. Its probably the biggest leak of competant low stakes nlhe players.

He says it because if u donk then u have to donk sometimes as bluffs as well otherwise your hand is face up. We all play with those guys they call a raise pf flop top pair and lead into the raiser. The thing is most live low stakes players cant even figure it out. I think hes advice is more relevant at the stakes he plays.

So? Whats wrong with that? I wouldn't do it as a pure bluff but I would as a semi bluff with overcards or with a draw

I think donking gives H the best chance at playing for stacks. With a TP hand where I'm not usually comfortable playing for stacks I'll c/c and let V lead. Usually leads to 2 streets of betting. I do occasionally donk as a bluff or semi-bluff.

if you want to play a ridiculously complicated strategy because you finally learnt about pio, then go ahead failing most of the time and construct a leading range if thats what you want to do

Oh em gee.

Just... I...

What?

OMG.
