where do you think your edge is in 500z? more knowledge of pio? or do regs there still have very obvious leaks?

coffee bet obv

vaaaaamooo!

Roughly here;

And here;

Cheers for this man. Trying to remember that i am in fact a winning player and keep at it!

hahaha. I'll add 'Messi like' to my bio, ty for that

lmao, you actually make an excellent point

Alright then.

Cool comment to Fitz too. What's it like feeling like you need to condescend anyone you come into contact with on the internet? Must be exhausting to be so hateful all the time.

lmao, kangal definitely gave some good examples. But yeah, it's mostly the misapplication of sims. Particularly those who're trying to directly mimic strategies while disregarding the exploit nature of most players.

BOOM yes!

Another extremely testing day. Big volume and big <3 to get back to even. My second session i was down 3 stacks within 55 hands...

In the last hand, if the guy had potted the river, would you have folded? I've been studying these click raises OTT and they are quite nutted in my sample when followed by pot OTR. In 3-bet pots too and specially when the flush comes ott.

Which crazy bastard bluffed the QJo spot in 1962?

On a more serious note, do you consider b/b/b with KK there standard or was there something about this particular reg? Obv understand if you don't wanna answer that one

GL man, hope you get back some nuclear heat

lol vs a BB flat range i expect even brain dead nits to blast off there

IP has at least 24 combos of straights there man, not even counting sets, it's hard to find bluffs unless villain is overbetting turn with tons of Ax

mirage is probably correct. Monker sims doen't 3bet 67s vs a MP open, though not sure about MP +CO squeezing, (likely it is the same). Suited connectors tend to be overrated and overplayed from a lot of positions. It's probably so insanely close in EV though that it is difficult to really prove that it could be a mistake given reg deviations from optimal strategy.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

lulz

Following, I started yesterday to read this thread (no stop in hands) from back pages (end 2015), all those who say that it is an inspiration are right. Unfortunately there are too many pages for read fast XD
Could you say how is your warm up? I'm sorry if it's written back there
I read how in 2015 you started to stop seeing the results, now you see them every day it seems, do you think that is not important? Why did you decide to see them again? Does not it really affect you at all to see them? In the past you think it afects you, what changes?

Cheers. So basically I'm Monker solving, without Monker solver. That's the level we are talking about here folks. Even my minds blown. If you need any more hand reviews Ben let me know and I'll consider it.

Bena you're clearly the stupid one if your ignoring mirage's advice on squeeze ranges tbh and you deserve to be stacked in that spot.

I mean, the dude is beating 6NL at 81BB/100, are you not gonna listen to him?

I mean... 1000 hands/hour of that is actually $48.60/hour so I wouldn't scoff at that!

mirage is right according to monkersolver xd, so iranian kid is out of line as always -_-

lol, comparing regular 3-bet spots to squeeze spots is terrible, because the math to have a profitable squeeze is way more favorable than in a regular 3-bet. Also a lot of people cc way more than they should and will rarely have legit backraise ranges.

Ehh going to put my dick on the line and reply to this, most ppl in thread better than me for sure so might backfire but I think its way more complex than youre making out. Sure, Ft3B will likely be higher (but still not vs all players) and so will $won preflop from folds, but youre ignoring the fact that:

a) You're likely to be 4B at a higher frequency to offset the disadvantage of villain being OOP and cc'r getting sick price to overcall which is bad for initial PFR and disincentivises this action. Squeeze sizing is likely going to be > normal 3B sizing and thus also 4B sizing, given SPR you cant peel a 4B which may not otherwise be the case.
b) Raw equity vs both calling ranges (in isolation, not sure about MW) is worse with 76s than when you have hand with broadways as an example
c) You unblock players to act C4B range
d) You play 50z not 500z (not claiming i play 500z fwiw, just making the point that tendencies between pools are going to be different)
e) Your option for the BTN wSCs here isnt 3B or fold, its plausible that we can gain some ev from calling so we should consider whether that is better or worse than sq altho hard to quantify.

All this strat from Mirage just being a troll. No idea why he isn't banned from this forum, him and that tasttty kid probably have a skype group together set up to troll the poker community. They could start a coaching site if they keep this up.

Mods: Plz rename thread "Peanut Gallery Debates Squeezing 67s". TY

3betting suited connectors is very good and people should do it more

3betting 76s is only good in live games because you can look your opponent in the eye and see if you got him... or he's got you

I can test these statements empirically.

It is not true that people cc too much in CO at z500, they cc 2.37%. This would be less than monker if i included that option in my sim since monker CC more than regs in MP vs BTN. Keep in mind regs would cc more with fish in later positions and monker cant use that info

and monker doesn't squeeze more vs itself even though it doesn't have backraise ranges. Regs trap with cc's more than monker does according to my database, monker never cc AA/KK from any position and never flat QQ/AK BTN vs CO when blinds have option for squeezing.

Monker 3bet 9.71% of time when CO opens, and BTN flats, but 3bet 10.86% of time when just CO opens.

I havn't got options for IP squeezing in monker sims but I would think your wrong based on other positions.

using words like 'lol', and 'terrible' to present your position with extreme confidence when it is clearly a very close spot, and not checking z500 reg population stats and monker sims before speaking seems pretty dumb imo.

too much free info itt tbh

not saying i agree or disagree with anything previously posted tho

I agree with Martim. Its not in anybodys interests to be helping out mediocre regs like this, I apologize for railroading this thread into such high level strategy discussions. Will focus more on just the lolz in the future.

I've studied monker sims and came to the same conclusions as stroggos. Suited connectors are overvalued by most players imo and if 67's is squeezed it will be at a very low frequency.
