H1: do you think raise better than calling river? Or do you just bet all your flush draws on turn.

Close imo. Whenever I check jam river with adXx and they snap 2pr, set, straight I'm so fkn tilted. He has a pretty decent bluff catcher and presumably a lot of wiffed oesd and gutter will still be bluffing here. Call is prob fine and can bluff with a worse Ad hand (that decided to x/call turn). The thinner they vbet the more attractive jamming becomes.

    This exact combo is way too high up in our range to start bluffing in theory, but in reality vs some regs (not this reg fwiw) raising could be a better option. As pokerarb said, some worse Adx combos would be more favourable raises

    Swingy day and happy to have basically got out of it. We experiencing some variance at this 500z thing now - i preferred the daily printing tbh

    I feel like i'm really deep in my thought process nearly every hand and my confidence is really high despite running into some serious top ranges the past month or so.

                  Got some stuff on tomorrow but will be playing early and late afternoon.

                  I'm having some real problems with setting up betsizes in starshelper (i've updated and the version is quite different).



                  Does anyone know how i set up preflop 3b/4b sizes? As you can see the top (old starshelper) had specific sections for 3 and 4b but new version (bottom) doesn't. I'm obv being computer noob so any help would be appreciated!

                  3b/4b/limping autobet sizings are not allowed by Stars anymore, so they had to remove it from StarsHelper.

                  The way I'm doing it now (switched to StarsCaption but same applies to the SH software) is creating buttons for 3b/4b sizings. I'm not sure if you are familiar with creating betsize buttons in SH already, or if you use std PokerStars buttons?

                  If this could be useful to you, first go to 'Autobetsizing' tab in SH software, click 'create' and put in a name for the button, plus the preflop betsizing you want. Some examples are (r*4.10), multiplies the opening bet you are facing by x4.10, or you can use it with (10bb) which inputs 10bb in the betsizing. As you can see in my screenshot you can also choose some postflop sizings to the same button, which will then change into (54% potsize) for postflop. Create as many buttons as you'd like, then head over to the 'HUD' tab in SH, click 'create' then choose 'buttons', you'll then get to the second screenshot I'm posting, fill in preflop (and eventually postflop) text and tick the 'please, select any' thing, choose your button name (in my case I named it 54%) and you are good to go. Hope this helps, I think the buttons is a very nice feature and you can create as many as you'd like.
