Well, I'm far from being a bad aggro/spewy player and villain must have known it (I'm actually bad but not aggro/spewy).

Anyway, thx for the active contribution!

Running terrible today again.



Flop c-bet%: 89.7% (LOL). There were some really bad spots where I did c-bet but what about these ones?

In the first hand villan was a 41/21 (over only 35 hands), raise c-bet 2/5. I don't want to call being OOP but what about raising?



In the second hand villain was an aggro 35/24 (over 92 hands), raise c-bet 3/8. I normally just fold here but I'm not sure there isn't a better line.

first hand looks like a good spot to x/raise otf.
i don't like cbetting this flop since villain likes to raise a lot and we have to either repop and expect to be flipping at best when called or fold.
+ he can be peeling a lot (which is not that bad given we can barrell any broadway,3, or spade ott)
x/calling is out of question. x/folding is weak
x/raising looks better imo as he might stab IP when checked to so i expect to have good FE + we can safely fold if villain 3bets + we can improve/bet tons of turns when called.

2nd hand is a x/fold imo.

I have learnt something again. I have (almost) never thought of x/r'ing as being the preflop raiser but your reasoning seems to be solid.

2nd hand
c/f. Don't cbet on that kind of board especially when it's multiway. Don't even try doing something else.
1st hand
c/f vs good regs, and ofc passive players. c/r against bad aggro players ( there is a ton of them at nl10, almost all, they don't understand when to be aggressive and this isn't one of the spots so punish them)

EDIT: sry didn't saw baohoa post and I wrote same thing

Actually that's good. Thx both of you!

I played two sessions today. Guess when did I sit out for a break?



In the first hand BTN was a nitty (17/13 over 187 hands) reg, 22% steal from the BTN. The SB was a fishy (34/14 over 94 hands, 3/5 F2CB, he hadn't faced a 3bet earlier) player. My line seems spewy. Was it?



In the second hand villain was a 44/15 fish, F2CB 2/6. How's my line?

I feel like crying... or at least whining...



C-bet: 80.6% with a success rate of 55.2% which is fine I think.

Some hands which makes me so upset. In the first one villain was playing 27/20 (over 51 hands) and he was postflop mostly passive. I should have reraised OTF but the turn and a river is a fold, isn't it?



In the sedond hand villain was a 57/43 (over only 14 hands). Before this hand he x/r'ed 1/2.



In the third hand villain was another huge fish: 69/2 (over 45 hands), passive OTF, normal OTT and a bit more aggro OTR. The problem is he might easily have had a 6 in his range but I was going to call on any non A river...

88: 3bet flop, but you know it.
AK hand: looks ok. i would probably 3bet larger and shove flop myself
QQ hand: it's not terrible but folding turn is better imo (folding flop wouldn't be horrible too vs. a super passive villain). A otr doesn't change villain's range, unless he can play a NFD like this which i doubt. i also wouldn't look at his AF with that small sample.

Another losing day again but I finally realized the only problem is I'm always running into the very top of my opponents range. Just one example:



UTG was basically unkown but he seemed too loose. MP was the big fish (60/7 over only 16 hands). He was postflop passive and couldn't fold. I squeezed for value and in order to isolate the fish.

OK, so that's the graph for today. I c-bet 75% which seems reasonable.



In this hand villain was more or less unkown (I have 16 hands on him) but he seemed solid. I hate the flop and even more the turn (althogh I turned an OESD).



In the following hand MP was a huge aggrodonk fish but SB was completely unknown. Easy fold OTF?

I don't know. He could have easily had AT or something similar Tx type hand. And why should I have folded on that blank turn if I called OTF?

if he's so passive i'm not sure he raises our cbet otf and barrells again ott with a weak hand. i see people going crazy on a paired board with small PPs but they often give up ott unless they're aggro. also if we call ott we're given 1:2 to call a shove otr. and we're calling a lot of rivers here.
might be wrong though

TT hand: could debate about cbetting this flop or not. it's superthin value here. what can he call here with? anyway SPR is so low that it can't be a huge mistake.

KK hand: probably a little larger pre and otf. otherwise wp

QQ hand: our position sucks so bad. yeah fold. if we call and SB folds we're going to be behind a good amount of the times anyway vs. MP. if we call and SB calls or raises we're done...

Yes, I was about to call on most river. I thought this A OTR hit his range hard.

I expected him to call w/ any pair and any strong A.

I was obviously afraid of the SB so I ended up folding. The SB called and it turned out I would have been ahead OTF .

Thx again for the responses!

sounds good. i would prefer betting QQ there though. (you get value from 9x, TT-JJ and maybe AQ, AJ if he's so bad). TT just loses to too many hands here and it's more a bluff than not (our value is less clear). that said stack sizes changes the hand. if he's passive checking is not that bad. Full stacked this would be a check behind like 99% of the times imho. we're going to SD with a SDV hand a lot

Finally a short but solid session. Flop c-bet: 87.5%.



Is not c-betting OTF a mistake? Can we call OTR as played? Both players were basically unknown but the SB seemed fishy and the BTN seemed nitty.

played it fine if you called the river. villain can bet 2 pairs,slowplayed sets, Jx and a better straight.we're given good odds to call vs. this range. we should fold to a raise from the other player though.
could delay cbet ott some times, depending on villains

No, I didn't call as I didn't think he bet that big w/ anything but a str8. And there are obv. less 2's in his range than 7's.

A delayed c-bet OTT seems logical esp. as I picked up some equity!

Today wasn't that great but at least I won. Flop c-bet: 82.8%.



In the first hand villain was a LAG (30/30 over 74 hands, 16% 3bet (all from the blinds)). He was also very aggro postflop (50% AFq). Normally (against most players) I just fold this hand but I must be ahead of his range and I have position. On the other hand we were only 55BB deep and I didn't want to 4bet/fold (obviously). So I called. What's next OTF? I'd be burning money if I folded every flop which doesn't hit my hand...



In the second hand both players in the blinds were huge fish. The SB was playing 50/0 and was a bit passive postflop too while the BB was a 64/7 but he was more aggro postflop. What are we doing OTR?

Hi,

Im new to this progress thread and so I may have missed some posts in the recent past.

Good luck with your challenge! Any chance you could post:

1) An overall graph including your red line

2) over all graph filtering the SB and BB plays out - Im sure you have read but if your red line is negative on here (over a large sample... I say 10k hands or more) then you have a leak. If not, then your alright.

Thanks and GL

Overall graph since I started play on PS:



The same graph w/o the blinds:



The second one looks pretty but it doesn't really mean anything. I should play even better so that my non blind winnings could compensate my losses on the blinds.

Thx for following!

KQ hand intersting spot.villain cbet%? i like the call pre but being SPR so low our plan should be to reraise shove any flop where we have some equity. overs plus couple of redraws are good imo. especially if villain cbets too much. a little spewy maybe but we can't play just fit or fold when we call pre.

AK hand i know it's cheap but i probably fold turn mw. there are some chances we're drawing dead already. also if we spike an A and passive pots river and aggro folds do we really feel good calling? as played with possible quads and obv FH passive is betting vs. two and aggro raises...i'm foding this especially because we don't close the action. we could split vs. one of them at tiimes but that's all. if they show worse..well sick!

That's the problem. c-bet%: 60%. Do you think it's a good spot to CRAI? I don't.

Well, that was my thought process too. I folded and the other guy called. Both showed a worse A so we would have splitted had I called...

Cbet in 3 bet pot? sample size is tiny anyway. but of 16 % range he has to fold everyting but TT + and maybe AQ+. we have blockers to some combos. (and i don't have stove with me..lol).
i'd also check how many tables he's playing.
on the othr side after 3 betting a lot from they blinds they usually slow down a little.
