Ok so pretty std, i think the c/r is probably profitable in a vacuum but every time he calls you put yourself in a pretty ****ty spot being OOP there, i think just c/f'ing flop as played or 3b/5b depending on his 4bet range is better.

And hand Hand from your recent hand's is pretty damn spewy also imo.

I actually super-agree with that generally speaking Was pondering should I post it as a level or not :}

That session was "following my reads" (That was the motive of the session I mean), and the check on the river was to fold the hand, but suddenly his river sizing + timing tell made me snap shove it... I think he was really surprised (no FE obv) and it took him a while to fold that.

...?

Updated graph?

one of the conclusions from this thread was to post a graph once a month, gives me a better perspective and is not making me tilt when I have a bad week

Don't worry in 20 days will give a full update+summary.

Can u elaborate on the 97o hand? If he folds a bunch to 3bets both Pre and flop are ok as both should be +EV. Turn we give up as he won't fold anything and same goes for the river but once he bets that big and checked the turn he basically never has anything good. He could consider calling ace high but likely won't either so I don't see what exactly is bad in that hand as played

(that's all assuming villain is as bad as he looks to be)

How come he pays us off on all brick rivers ? I would expect cbet and shove turn & check turn shover river to look equally strong. Or latter even bit stronger. No one is supposed to use the bet-check-bet line as a bluff. If we check I would like to see us check the river again. That looks weak to everyone.

What hands are these ? My UTG villain starts with 16% range. AA-22,AKo-AJo,KQo,AKs-A2s,KQs-KTs,QJs,JTs,T9s,98s,87s,76s,65s. By the turn he only has AQ/TT.

Haha, hand 1*

Actually villain is quite good IMO

Don't really want to elaborate on hand as I already mentioned initial check river was to fold the hand, and I really think poker-wise it's not a good move, but had my soul-read I guess...

That's the beauty in poker, your UTG starts with a 16% range, and by the turn, you only have there AQ/TT

Yah, def super-spewy move there...

So... was super-aggrro session today, which luckily went to my direction.

Two hands vs the same not-so-aggrro-reg, and one hand to discuss vs Schmeffffff.

This hand was quite annoying because we are actually 50-50 OTF, and he folds most of his check-call range by turn/river. Luckily the next hand came quite fast vs same villain

OTF after him calling behind, I thought his range is heavily weighted towards sets/two-pair, and was puking from the thought fish in the SB would shove and leave me in a sick-spot where poker-wise I should prob just fold, and wasn't sure that Israeli-wise I can..

Luckily SB tank-folded and I could see my turn for a very cheap price.

---------------------------------------------------

For the more interesting part, as promised, sick hand vs Scchhmeffff.

Villain is prob the most loose reg on PS, didn't see him spew too much in the past, when we used to play HU at the 400nl 6max deep-tables.

So... River, do we donk? If so, do we call/fold to a raise? Do we Check-raise/shove? If we Check-raise, do we call/fold to a shove?

What to do, what to doooo.

You rep 11 value combos OTR 66/AJ/A6. He needs to find 6 bluff combos for a snap call with Ax/Jx. KQ only is 16 combos. If you don't 4bet AQ and vbet ATs you have 26 value combos. Still a call with Ax/Jx.

Kinda disagree, and IMO that's the problem when you start thinking about poker exclusively that way (value combos/bluff combos etc.). Range is totally dependant on villain, again, you rep OTR 66/AJ/A6... I prob have much wider range than this... as a small example, I totally have there 86.

Stas! I didnt know you were on 2p2. Cool thread, I will start from the start and read it all I think .

Gl m8!

"Stasia42, 2+2er since 2006" :P

Tx mate, best of luck to you 2.

You are thinking at a really low level given these hands are 500nl, not going to explain myself because trying to stop giving away free information.

Ok, seems like no one cares about K4cc hand, I'll try one more time, and then would post results and move on.

"Pure" Value hands here (will always play like that): AcTc, Tc8c .
"Reasonable" Value hands here (mostly will play like this): Ac3c (almost always), AcXc (50-50 prob on cbet flop, and if cbet then always cbet turn).

"Reasonable" bluff hands (will bluff in unknown frq): AcTx.
"???" bluff hands (not sure if he makes these moves at all, and at what frq): Tc8x, Tc9x, TcJx, TcQx, TcKx.

-------------------------

I think that without the "???" hands, it's so close between calling and folding that it's actually doesn't matter what I do. I have 1:2.2 OTR..

If he uses Tc type hands as bluffs then def a call.
200nl and below prob fold vs all the regs.
400nl+ prob call vs aggro opponents, and fold vs passive opponents.

Thoughts?

I think I call almost always. You are a bit deep, but I'm generally going to assume that they're bluffing some % of the time with Acx, plus a few added % with random hands. To fold in this spot would mean you're literally only calling with the rare Axcc(You can't have T8cc here) that you have, therefore he should be shoving his Ac blocker 100% of the time. That means folding is exploitable, so unless you have some strong reads, I'd call.

thats the attitude. thx for adding points to the discussion

what do you think has helped your game the most?

not going to explain myself because hardly anyone on 2+2 goes into real strat anymore because they realise how detrimental it is to the games.

imagine if cardrunners was never made.

I hate this argument. If Cardrunners was never created how many of us would be any good at all at poker? There's a lot of things people learned through videos that they wouldn't have figured out on their own so it's not like everyone had the ability to learn how to be amazing on their own and crush everyone.

I think that's what he is saying?
