Up half a BI today. I enjoy playing (again) but I still don't really have any time...

Hand #1:
Villain was an unknown loose/passive fish. The strange thing is I always hesitate folding in such spots thinking he can have a worse TP. But it's only a small part of villain's range...

Hand #2:
Villain played 72/43 and min opened a lot. He had a very high postflop aggression. Had he bet bigger OTF/OTT I would have folded. I would have also bet on most rivers had he called OTT.

Hand 1 looks standard

Hand 2 Looks good. I dont hate calling either as i expect to be good fairly often with Ax here and not much better folds really. But yeah 22-33 are folding and some better Ax as well

^^^ Thx.

This is the graph of all my NL16 hands here at Stars. LOL at volume...



I've been running a few BI under EV so it could be worse

Hand 1 : Standard

Hand 2: I would be folding pre here, oop just vs the villian it's a call but in a multiway pot, Axo lose lots of value here. Flop call is ok, think i'm just calling t, if villian is so LAGy he can all with pair, pockets, flush and staight draw.

^^^ Thx!

A9 is a fold pre normally and I was just fed up w/ his min opens

very nice thread furkae
ill be following
just made one of my own

Managed to play a few hands again: up a half BI.

Was this the worst line ever? Villain was a tight/passive reg (18/12, folds to steal: 9/10, 16% AFq). This flop either hits his range hard or he folds his smaller PP to a bet and I didn't want to get raised.

Played a short BE session. I was surprised there are quite a lot fish playing early afternoon (Central European Time).

Villain was a maniac but it was his first 3bet. He was quite aggro postflop too so my call pre seems rather bad...

LOL

We may learn from him...

Hi furk, I played this hand today and I need your opinion otr. Villain is fishy but i have no other reads.

If u have no read u should call.

@bebius AK: I make the turn bet bigger b/c a) villain won't call a third big bet w/ TT or similar and b) you can make a more comfortable river shove. River is though as villain can't have too many better hands (except QJdd or 88) but I doubt he donks that big w/ worse often enough. All in all it's a crying fold for me but you must know I may fold too often

Although I hit a few sets today I wasn't too lucky with them. Anyway up a half BI again.

Hand #1:
Villain was unknown but seemed somehow nitty. Do you call or shove OTF (given his donk overbet)?

I like a shove on h1, we almost always have ~50% and we gonna be in a bad spot if we float and turn bricks and he overbets again. There is always some FE for us otf as he can easily donk/fold his bad aces. I like h2.

Thx. I doubt we have any FE at all. I ended up shoving and he insta called w/ AJ (two pair). I had 40% equity and I turned a straight.

Nice hit then
Wasn't that AJ the ultimate top of his range? Couldn't he donk other aces aswell? Anyway the odds were good and shove>>>call imo so np.

I don't really think so although he was basically unknown when this hand played out. Anyway I don't have much more equity against Ax either. I ended up shoving as I was afraid of him folding if I hit my flush and I thought he might have shoved OTT.

Played a few hands and won a few dollars.

Villain is a good reg but it was his first hand at this table so I didn't have stats on him. Do we 3bet bluff OTF? Or just call and x/r turn?

dnt like 3btting flop cos u can only ever 6x, very rare ull do it with 22/fd, id much rather call then c/r turn as ur range looks a lot stronger.

plus with 3betting teh flop, its the kind of i know that you know that i know scenario where its somewhat expected.

Yeah, I did call but folded to a quite big turn bet (on a blank turn)... Thx.

I think I like call and check/shove any J/Q/K or club. Thats a bit FPS though and you can probably lol fold without worrying that you are getting exploited.

I have just returned from my family holiday where I played a few hands (all in all BE).

Hand #1:
Villain was unknown but I saw him 3bet big w/ AJ a few hands ago.

Ran quite badly today but still BE which is a really good feeling. The two biggest hands:

Hand #1:
Villain was a not too aggro reg (BTN steal: 60%, Fold to 3bet: 4/5). I was seriously thinking about folding OTF but decided to call him down (which may be bad).

Hand #2:
