I agree with this. If I was the reg in SB typically this is a spot I'd call any pair in as I'm pretty sure a lot of players would overbluff as played when they xb flop and get blank riv. That said, from your perspective... not entirely sure people are overfolding here vs. this sizing but it is probably close.

That said I suck at bvb so who knows?

Hope the grind is treating you well.
what’s up man!!

thanks.

I was looking through old pics in my camera roll recently ..

it was fun playing live and getting dinner.

same to you, how is everything ??

RTP,

If you don't mind me asking, why are you focusing your poker between mid-stakes online NLHE and high stakes live NLHE private games?

Vs unknown reg.

100bbe.

OTTH

Pre-flop: Hero 2.5x CO 9 9. V 11.5bb SB. Hero c IP.

Flop (24bb): K 7 6. V 7bb. Hero c.

Turn (38bb): K 7 6 8. V 24bb. Hero c.

River (86bb): K 7 6 8 A. V snap jams 57.5bb.

Hero?

Above avg turn for us- not sure if V structuring properly in-game when they use this sizing ott.

Think most regs are going small/check here.

Interesting that V snap jammed river. Less likely V turns over A10s, A9s imo when we click call.

I haven’t simmed or nodelocked this hand yet, thoughts, sims, data etc all welcome.

Sim wise you're basically only calling an Ace or better.

Though the sim checks AK and KK pure on the turn. I doubt most regs are doing this as they likely want to build the pot w/ these hands unless they think you're a fish who over stabs or will spaz out on the bet check line. So they are probably even stronger by the river than normal.



I would tend to agree w/ the sim here I don't think 99 is anywhere close to a call on the river unless you have some other information. A call seems like a massive deviation.

hey thanks dude
respect how articulate concise you are.

im not sure how V is structuring, in comparison to solver, with the b33p/66p line (rounding) - but i expect V to have partials of QTs/JTs/J9s and ATs A9s ott. Those all seem pretty intuitive.

(I wouldn’t have those personally as I’d be mostly checking or betting small with full range on this turn.)

of those combos i think the riv snap jam intuitively far more bluff heavy than value. Ofc this is just a small nuance and V has other value that can snap jam.

What V is doing with 88-66 pre (and post) going to have a big impact on our optimal strategy as well.

A call is no question a deviation would be interested to hear if others like call as well ..

Spoiler:
I folded in game not sure what v had

I'd guess people barreling large on bad cards for them are stronger than they should be. I could see it being the opposite since they might value bet a lot less.

No clue what to make of the snap jam but I would definitely fold bad bluff catchers here.

Would you jam river had they checked?
1.c4: Chessman begins his poker journey Quote

If V bet small OTT, x this riv .. I would be jamming pure as one pair is getting over folded in this spot and V needs to call a lot of 1p

Here AP, I would just xb.

appreciate the feedback

Congrats on having carved out a version of the poker world that works for you. You should be proud of yourself to have done it at such a young age. I'm also in socal and am getting back into playing plo after a long time away from it while I hit some monetary goals. I remember your thread from back in the day and am happy to see your significant progress!
