Also I think turn is a slam dunk call, I think there are so many two pairs, lower sets and turned combo draws (e.g all Ax of diamonds) in BB range and MP can definitely have all lower sets, and sometimes way overvalued an over pair. Some players at 10nl will never fold AA or KK regardless of runout. Maybe you can find a hero fold with deuces, I'm probably calling any set however.

great

Thx for reply.. I am deeply sorry to deliver bad beat to you

Dunno about this one.. actually doubt that villain is calling me with worse ott.

Versus a 90bb stack you gotta 4bet this combo pre. Especially if he is 4betting hands like 33, you can guarantee he will be 3betting random hands and calling 4bets with hands that are crushed by AK.

I think I would ship river too. I would probably just call versus a bigger sizing. He can still have KQ/JK/QQ/AA potentially. I would expect him to bet QJ/1010/K10 on the turn pretty often and then also use a bigger sizing on the river with these hands so shoving looks very reasonable, especially against a fish with a wider range than average.


The KQs versus AJs hand is unlucky. You probably should be checking flush completing turns pretty often, especially without a diamond and blocking the pairs in villains calling range. With an SPR of 1 though not too sure you can x/f though. Checking also may induce some random bluffs but when you bet it's pretty hard to get called by worse.

AKs. You are right. I wanted to keep his range wider and make him mistakes postflop.. If I 4bet he would fold pre or the flop is no brainer. So I wanted to be tricky and ended without stack. Tbh his flop play seemed horrible to me. I think he should check here a lot..

KQs> Solver is mixing check (about 66%) and shove OTT.. x/f with SPR about 1 also does not seem as right play to me.. With the bet.. I hoped to get call from the pairs with diamond.


Really thank you for your opinion!

This guy is VPIP/PFR/3bet 52/43/28. Maybe just ship myself otf?

Would go preflop to 24-25bb. OTF I think betting 1/4-1/3 pot and jamming most turns is the way to go. With a small bet pot you want to give villain a hard time when he has hands like 88-TT, 78s, AQs with bdfd, etc and is supposed to call a small bet.

Your sizing doesn´t make any sense to me since it allows villain to play perfectly vs you.

Thank you for reply. I though that we need a lot of protection with QQ (I thought that solver usually prefer bigger sizing for QQ on Jxx boards SBvsBB).. We dont want to see T,K,A some 8?

dunno about this one.. really wanted to fold, but if we fold top two here and fold, than we are like str8 mining or quads mining?

You should think what your range wants to do and not just QQ.

You are betting 36bb into a pot of 52bb. Villain will never call you here (at least he shouldn´t) since you create a weird SPR OTT if he does that (pot would be 88bb and eff. stack size 36bb). So he will just check jam hands which crush you or have decent equity. You force him to play perfectly.

If you choose a smaller bet size now villain has a difficult time to decide what he wants to do with some marginal hands which would be a snap fold vs your bigger betsize.

Your flop cb sizing in general seems too big, you should be betting 1/3 in most spots. When you're getting coolered you're already committed on turns and there's no chance to get away. Betting big thins villains continuing range which is a bad thing, you want them to continue with there low equity holdings. Micro donks will spazz raise a lot vs small sizings. Betting small gives u a better price to realize your equity too with drawing hands, there's really no benefit to betting 1/2 pot and bigger

You seem to be playing pretty well except for your bet sizing, gl

What's your BR at the moment? Did you consider moving down or already playing lower?

I think you have the same problem as I have. After a cooler or bad beat you get in some kind of mind state that says "No he just can't have trips again" or "ofc he will call down to get a flush". As I see a lot of hands where you call an all in on the turn or river. My results are poor at NL10 but it looks like I learned that if they push all-in on the turn or river they have it 8 out of 10 times.

Stop calling those hands and this will help you a lot I think.

ps; Do you play 4 zoom tables all the time? **** does not help when you run poor or get coolered with nonsense hand.

Thank you for reply.

I have 50BI+ now.. When I win 50BI at current stake I am taking a shot on next limit (well at NL2 I took a shoot to NL5 after winning more than 100BI).

I play 4 zoom tables almost all the time. Sometimes I start session with 3 tables. But it feels like I have a lot of time to think about hands so it is a bit boring.

About folding: probably the way to go.

Btw some fact: in my last 500k hands I am loosing with KK when calling PF all in for more than 20bb per hand. So based on this we should fold KK if we get 4bet jam by std stack and considering folding after 4bet getting 5bet jam in some spots.

Less then 4 tables can feel a bit boring indeed, have the same problem. But I will let you think more about your hands en does improve your WR I guess.

Frustrating fact, but folding KK at NL10 feels stupid. You see people jam AQo / AJo / pp 88 to JJ. I do get really frustrated some times while people are just calling down (to hit something) or jamming nonsense. Think a lot of people come and just do some freaky things at NL10 so leave PS after that.

Hey, nl10z @ pokerstars here. What is your winrate so far?

something about 0.4bb/100h lol. 400k+ hands so far. so if you seek for knowledge and how to play, you should seek somewhere else. only fishy failure content here

I think the call pre is good, 3betting vs EP and MP is usually very tight. (I would make a note that this dude is 3betting QTs SB vs MP after the hand)

I think there is no need to jam the turn here you only get called by two combos of AJs, the same hand or sets and straights. I would just call you, aren't actually scared of any river cards, except maybe another J.

Villain isn't barrelling turn with KQ or KT (Pair + gut shot type hands) so you aren't scared of a T or Q on the river. In fact if a T or Q comes you can x/x against his sets and save some money and happily fold against a shove. Any other river is a blank and villain can hang himself with his 76s.

Hand 1 - Should probably 4bet this one pretty often. If he shoves you can just fold but he will call some AQ/AJs/QQ/JJ that we do fine against IP. Mixing in a call is perfectly reasonable though. It's deffo not a pure 4bet. Against people who are 3betting a reasonable range though you want to 4bet more often. I would not raise any hands in our range OTT as played. When facing bigger bets you want to call more often, especially on boards where no flush draws are present. Just call down, you may even end up folding the river in this hand as it's just pretty hard for villain to find enough bluffs in this spot. It's a tough spot.

Hand 2 - Just unlucky I think

Hand 3 - Sizing is good

Hand 4 - Bigger on the turn v a fish, fold on the river looks fine. You do have a decent combo to catch with but think folding is good.

Agree that this turn jam AK is nonsense play. Was overthinking river is coming T,J,Q that kills the action or beat us..

Hehehehe, you're going to be better and win, don't worry. I have something around 4bb/100 now, but I play low volume (I guess I have 60k hands so far, something like that). Do you need anything?

Some criticism of the hands I post here is welcome Thank you

Vs fish.. jamming 2nd nuts is mandatory right?
