I dont know but personally when im oop in bomb pots I either check or bet really small, dont have any other sizing, that includes the stone nuts

the jam is certainly +EV but essentially everything you do here is +EV except folding with KJ, just need to find the highest ev play, its likely just call, could see an argument for raising some non-allin size but probably that call fares better than all other options here, that is unless you think the players are too good for you on future streets and want to end the decision tree right here and now

I think raising is much higher EV than just calling. Raising to a non all-in sizing might be best, but calling just lets BB, and the others get to the turn too cheaply. Also if we just call we can't credibly push BB off of a queen on the turn and we're essentially just accepting our equity.

I'm also checking a big chunk of my strongest hands OOP here, maybe betting with top set though. But the general population is not betting small with any kind of strong hand. It's a very weak sizing tell. Fredy might bet small here with a nutted hand but not the average reg. The BB is going to fold 95% of the time here and the 5% he does call he's going to have a combo draw that we're flipping versus. So it's basically just two players we have to get through. And the button is going to fold a lot of his QX holdings. So it's basically just Fredy we have to worry about.

Royal Flush Draw

Hero BTN ($400) KQhh
Villain BB (covers) 85hh
-Estonian reg

$2/$4 bomb pot 6 handed

Flop ($93) AJ5hhx

Villain bets $25.68, german reg calls, we jam $384 only villain calls.

Turn ($886.68) Kx
River ($886.68) 4h

And we win. Had 57% equity on the flop vs 85hh.

I just 4bet 3 times in one orbit: 55, A2dd, KK. I'm a maniac! Nobody called...

Fredy KGB

Hero SB ($200) 88
Fredy BTN (covers) JJ

$1/$2 folds to Fredy who opens to $5, we call, bb folds.

Flop ($11.40) T83ddx

We check, Fredy bets $8.55, we raise to $32 and Fredy calls.

Turn ($73) 3x

There's my money card, against your average opponent I'd set a bear trap, hardly bet at all, but Fredy's too smart for that. We bet $46 Fredy raises to $120, we jam $163 total and Fredy calls.

River ($399) Tx

And we double thru the mad Russian.

Turned Equity

$2/$4 bomb pot 9 handed

Flop ($141) AQ9ddc

Checks to us, we bet $72 and only villain calls.

Turn ($285) 4c

Not that I needed this turn to jam but it helps, we jam $312 effective and villain folds.

Bluff Catch

Hero BB (covers) QcTx

-German reg

$1/$2 bomb pot 8 handed

Flop ($61) AT5xcc

Everyone checks.

Turn ($61) 8c

Everyone checks. Look at that restraint on my part.

River ($61) 7c

Checks to villain who bets $47.36, folds to us, we call and other 2 guys fold. This is an iffy call. I feel like if he had an ace would he really bet so large here? I don't know. Folding might be the best play but I was curious I guess. Usually I'm wrong when I try to bluff catch it seems like though.

Cooler Flop

Hero CO (covers) As8x
Villain LJ ($201) TT
-Russian reg

$1/$2 bomb pot 9 handed

Flop ($69) AT8xss

Two pair with backdoor spades, good flop. Checks to villain who bets $23.76, we jam, everyone else folds, he calls and wins. Turn was a spade but river was a blank. At least I had a real hand lol. Said "nice hand" in the chat and he said "nh" back. Might have to add him to the list of possibly wily regs.

Clicking Buttons

Hero BTN ($406) Q6os

$2/$4 bomb pot 6 handed

Flop ($93) QT5r

Checks to HJ (UK player 200 hands against) who bets $23.68, we raise to $92 and everyone folds. Maybe I had the best hand, maybe not. I show up and it was 9 handed at first and then the game broke within one orbit. I'm sure it's not cause I showed up, but they didn't want to stay and play me either. I think I'll just quit too. I'm drinking a couple of beers.

I got some footage from the other day at Commerce I need to edit into a vlog also. Maybe I'll do that. Don't want to wait too long but I'm also worried I'm gonna do a crappy job. I think I'm just gonna get straight into the hand histories after a 5-10 second intro. I watch some movie reaction channels and I like one where the guy talks for like 5 second before and after the actual movie reaction. No filler. Just get to the good stuff.

Apprentice Part One

Hero CO ($200) AAhc
DonaldJPutin UTG+1 (covers) 88 (no club)
-Russian reg (that's his real screenname)

Donald opens to $6, MP calls, we raise to $22, only Donald calls.

Flop ($50.35) K87xcc

Donald checks, we bet $18, Donald calls.

Turn ($86) Tc

A ten on the turn always helps someone. If that's not a poker theorem it should be one. Donald checks, we bet $32 and Donald calls.

River ($150) 7x

Donald checks, we jam $128 and Donald calls. I say "nice hand" in chat and donald says "thank u" and asks if I call a turn jam to which I reply "probably" then "but maybe not". I think I might actually fold but hard to say. What does a solver say? I'll give anyone one gold star if they run that spot, how to respond to a check-jam on the turn with AA no club. The guy is kind of a nit so I should just probably fold if he jams turn.

Apprentice Part Deux

Different table.

Everybody checks.

Turn ($61) 3s

Checks to us, we bet $32 and only villain calls. Feels like if someone had a good hand they wouldn't be checking it twice here right? Right?!?

River ($125) 2x

Villain checks, we bet half pot $64 and villain calls. Lol, are you reading this thread right now guy? I thought about jamming but then thought what would I bet if I actually had a strong hand and jamming was not likely it, so I went with half pot. I mean, I'd probably check back a straight on the flop and bet it on the turn probably two pair plus also. Lol, nice call dude, chop it up. I'm a certified maniac. Wrong guy to bluff.

I really like your writing style and how you play the hands.
Following!

I think i would never fold the AAcx on a check/shove Turn. He could also be jamming KQxc... (but what do I know as a tournament player)

Thank you and welcome to the thread!

I should also have mentioned that DonaldPutin is a 12/8 passive Russian supernit. I probably call too but it's likely a mistake, especially vs this player.

Happy St Patrick's Day. I remember when I was going to UCSB I lived in Isla Vista (2005-2008) which is a small college town, basically imagine a 4by4 grid of streets that are just one giant block party. People walk down the streets go into random houses and drink and every summer hundreds and thousands of Irish people would come just to party for the summer. It was crazy and so much fun, drinking and partying with them.

I lived in a crazy ass party house, we had myself 3 other dudes, and 4 chicks in a big 4 bedroom 2 story house. I had a big ass weed plant in my closet.
My roommate was a friend from highschool that was on the cross country team with me the others I met in the dorms and one of the chicks was my girlfriend. I would buy like the cheapest popov vodka or whatever and make jungle juice. Orange juice concentrate, lime concentrate some beers and a bunch of vodka and just mix it all together in a cooler. Played loud music and leave the door open. Have hundred of college kids and Irish just wandering in and partying. Playing poker at pokerroom.com during the day, driving out to Chumash to play the 2/5 game there on weekends. I thought I was the ****. Fun times.

This is the unofficial Irish national anthem.


Cautious Rick

Hero UTG (covers) 66
Villain SB ($400) ??

$2/$4 bomb pot 9 handed

Flop ($141) 865xxc

Villain bets $36, we call, MP calls and everyone else folds.

Turn ($249) Kc

Villain bets $80, we jam $348 effective and they both fold. I'm probably going to just fold if he jams turn. Or even if he bets really large on the flop. It's obviously too easy to have 97 or 74. 16 combos of each vs how many combos of hands that we beat? But these players basically play their hands face up so I know where I'm at 100% of the time in these bomb pots. Or something like that. Also I'm probably playing 97 the same way I think.

Rick are you gay? Nothing wrong that its 2022. Maybe you can try a ladyboy first if you haven't already.

would it have been wrong to be gay in 2021?

SHOUTOUT TO SIMPLE RICK!

Maybe if he knows that he is seen as a supernit, he might bluff it way looser this time.
But I really see why I should never play cashgame.

Rick did you buy anything nice for ur Gramma after the big win?

It was wrong to be gay before Trump was elected. Trump made it okay to be gay. The gayest president since Lincoln.

Please god don't make things political, I'm just joking, I hate all politicians, Trump included. I don't care.

WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Perhaps, but usually not. And it's better to just let the nits bluff with impunity rather than try to pick them off.

No. I also didn't buy anything nice for myself. I think my success is enough of a reward for my grandma, she doesn't need me to buy her anything. I'm not 6betme, no face creams or cans of crab meat in this thread. If I need something or want to buy something for someone else I usually just do it.

wait a minute? what are you revealing here today?

Tricky Fredy

Hero SB (covers) ATos
Fredy CO ($200) AsTx

$1/$2 bomb pot 8 handed

Flop ($61) T85ssx

Checks to Fredy who bets $10.25. This could be a spot that Fredy is trying to induce me to bluff at. He could have us beat, but I've also seen him call with worse than AT in spots like this before. So even though we could be getting tricked by the best I think we have to go for it. We jam $192 effective vs Fredy, everyone else folds and Fredy calls. Turn is a spade for the sweat but we fade the river and chop it up. It's close and this is like the bottom of my value shoving range vs Fredy. Still shoving better hands and combo draws too, so Fredy is going to have to learn the hard way, I've adjusted to his adjustments.

How many % of your hands are bomb pots?
I've never played them online, only live. How does it work online? Is there a checkbox or every 10th hand or so?

It works the same as it does live.

Bomb Pots drop 4 time per hour at 6 max tables and 4 times per hour at 9 max tables.

Supposedly it's 4 bomb pots per hour but I've had back to back bomb pots so I think it might be a little more, not sure. There are regular tables and bomb pot tables so if your at a bomb pot table unless you're already sitting out, you're in. The button spins around the table then randomly stops, then after the bomb pot, goes back to where it should have been. Also it's 4bb per person dealt in.

I'm a spewtard gambler (I think Rick can attest from the couple of times we played together) and still think bomb pots are ****ing dumb. Why do so many people seem to love them?
