I'm familiar enough with them to chuckle a little everytime I see a thread titled "Where is the best poker LA, Vegas, or Fl?"

Completely agree/understand but again as an unknown kid he could perceive our range to be as wide as an overpair here that is lol protecting. Or a spewy Internet kid with AKo. Or an incredibly strong hand that he has lol implied odds against.

3betting does look incredibly strong but again sometimes you have to take face up lines when you flop the nuts and are 1,000bbs effective. There's also no telling what an unknown Asian will do here with QT or Axcc but I would be drooling at the opportunity to find out.

Also perceived range-wise I think our line looks MUCH stronger flatting flop + raising turn. It looks exactly like what it is. Flopped straight/set that wanted a safe turn.

Also I mean the damage is done but I think outing actual names itt is poor form in general.

Not trying to be condescending here either, but it seems like you haven't played much live poker if you can't grasp this simple concept. There are vastly different degrees of thinking live poker players, so studying your player pool and learning to what extent your regs understand/think about the game is a HUGE part of playing live poker successfully. Having an edge over a winning reg is huge for your hourly rate, especially in the current climate of tougher live poker games.

holy moly

yea especially coming from the "experienced" live pro who puts his regs on blast(w/ real names) and calls out deepstack nits that start threads. lol.

No offense taken I'm new to live poker. So by "what extent your regs understand/think about the game" I assume you mean the thinkiest thinking players have the higher volume of logical thoughts ? What's the threshold of logical thoughts for when one becomes a "thinking player" then? One? Can you be a losing thinking player ? Do thinking players think with the same volume/accuracy every hand or are we taking an average of all hands and if that's over the "thinking player" threshold then they're a thinking player?

I'm just trying to understand the definition of a thinking player so when one is grouped under that category in the future I understand what constitutes that category.

Im confused, is this directed at me? I've never outed anyone and actually only know one person on this entire forum. (Meaning someone I could put a face to a screen name irl)

If not directed at me carry on.

Funny how I get criticised and called a nit on a forum by unknown NOLA assailants, yet get nothing but nice chat there in real life. #hussled

Starting to see the benefits of a flop 3bet. Lines for turn if a club or other scare card comes and it's checked to us?

Apart from that thanks for the contributions.

Whose names have been outted besides villain? My name is Ashly Butler, don't really give a crap about you guys knowing who I am or how I play. Played with OP a bit yesterday, never have spoken a word to him.

As far as balance, it's gotta be easier to balance a flop 3bet to 1200 than it is to balance the turn raise to 2k. What other hands are we raising turn to 2k with, potentially facing a gross decision to call off our last 2.7k when he shoves back?

On blank runouts we're gonna have to put another raise (after villain makes it 300) in somewhere to get stacks in by the river and the flop looks like the best place to do it.

Were you playing the short hand 5/10 when I left? Trap 6 ish?

Do your own homework bro, welcome to the streets of NOLA 😉

Well that 6k pot you saw with D and T was almost identical to one I saw with Villain. Except villain called with A5 off and he was up against A5 with a flush draw freeroll. I.e. Top pair bottom kicker on flop and pot was greater than 4k. Helps justify my read.
