No, you wouldn't, just shut up. Phil Ivey wouldn't make money opening this UTG on this type of table.

Open-jamming or check-jamming flop will probably show a profit in the long run, if stacks aren't too deep. But it's high variance and OP should be minimizing his variance as much as he can with his low bankroll.

in honor of op i went out and purchased my very furst 20$ burger. It felt wrong spending that much on a burger...but it was in fact wonderful.

ty for the inspiration 6bet me

Did you tip $13 or something?

required dick waving to post in this thread: yeah, I dunno anything about xeno, so maybe he's some 500z pro or something, but I just skim over all his posts now because its always just really terrible strat, and I assume he sucks at poker based on what ive read.

In other news, live poker is super easy. QQ vs AA aipf and I river a 4 flush. 3 bet JJ btn vs hj and flop QJx and get called down by KQ. Had two flush draws get there vs same half stacker. Only hands I lost any real chips on were AKo 3 bet PF that whiffed and i double barreled and a couple squeezes that I gave up on awful flops multiway.

but I also remembered why I hate live poker, had 3 young wanna bees who couldnt not talk strat after every hand, and one of whom was a massive asshat and then a donk middle aged guy who constantly berated the fish at the table to the guy next to him, but at a normal volume level.

I didn't drink tho cuz i was my own ride, and figured after my earlier comment i jinxed myself and if i got ****ty id end up losing my ass and have to sleep in my car a loser, heh.

Yeah talk about anything other than poker at the poker table please. Maybe even say that to them. I love playing live poker for the most part. Interacting with different people and characters. There's a lot of rubes, squares, clods, and the occasional diamond in the rough. But you just gotta accept people for what they are.

Appoint yourself table captain and steer your ship in a better direction if you don't like the course it's on!

OP in a nutshell:

more like this imo

I saw this, pretty interesting conversation.

I like Dr. Peter Attia too

Finally, you guys sussed xeno...a year late but w/e.

Just swinging my own dick a little, but at my age nobody else is gonna.

PS

sry to leave you with that image

yea I mean recreational players telling me I'm terrible is nothing new heh, that's kinda why they're recs

bunch of recs on here. graphs please and also dick pics.

Opening T8ss UTG is terrible AINEC.

But, but, but... POWSTFLOP

If you're deep enough (and I'm not sure what that threshhold is) then you should start opening some small % of your T8s. But 100bb deep or less live poker yeah it's pretty terrible.

I thought he was only taking 600 sheets to the casino on any given day....

T8 is a reasonable open if the villains you play against are playing somewhat reasonably. The problem with this open in the games OP is playing is that I suspect there is very little room for post flop play. The opponents are just playing lotto poker...ie just trying to hit their hand. OP will generally not have a positional advantage, nor even a hand strength advantage with T8. He will have initiative but that is a lot less important when you are playing against players that can't fold.

The deeper you are, the more you'll lose when you make your hand. 🙄

yea shud just play AA so you make sure you have the best hand pre

fishes should learn this strat.
1)They will lose less than they do by default
2)it's less tilting for you to play against them, just collect the blinds

Yes of course, not raising T8s UTG in a full ring game is exactly the same thing as folding KK and every worse hand from all positions. Excellent analysis sir.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying you suck at poker.

I'm saying you suck. Period.



PS I do suck at poker, but that's not why I'm a rec, capisci?

Xeno totally owned by a dude living in a car. Love it. Well said as well.

You pretty much just outted Rich Checkmaker as the true professional poker player in this thread.

Opening T8s UTG is marginal. It's not going to be massively +EV but it's not going to be massively -EV either. I do think though that if people are flatting raises with 76o and only 3betting super premiums {KK+}, then those are pretty good conditions for opening this hand, since it means we'll get to go multiway a lot, which is exactly what we want. The thing we don't want is to face aggressive 3bettors that will force us to fold pre, so I'd be more inclined to fold this hand pre on a table with lots of 3betting, which is rarely the case at 1/3 live.

And why are people saying that 3betting a perfect rundown like 9876 single-suited is a mistake in PLO? So what, you're only going to 3bet AAxx and nothing else? The people who only 3bet AAxx in PLO are equivalent to the people who only 3bet KK+ in NLHE. They're passive fish. And I'm not going to be a passive fish.
