Back to the drawing board again. This game can be real tough sometimes. At least it's breakeven and not downswing though...!

      Not very happy with how i played today. Feel i deserved to lose, but not 1.5k i don't think. Really keen to get back to winning ways as soon as possible but there seems to be some kind of a mental block atm. Perhaps being a bit defeatist.

      isnt it better to just call turn w/ AcK? when you ship he will call you only with better, but when you just call you leave him option to bluffshove river?

      +1, calling (or even folding, but not vs him probably) seem like better options to me than jamming vs most guys.

      Also I think x/c flop is a good option. Going to be hard to bet 3 streets on a lot of runouts (especially when the flop was 3 way), and the hands that will call twice will either bet at least twice themselves or call our turn & river bets. Also aggro reg can put us in annoying spots as we found out on the turn, and it's nice to have this in our flop checking range vs aggro guys.

      Thought that raise with AK was something I might not understand, but I would def never jam turn there.


      You are doing great job finding sick river bluffs btw, need to copy some of that strat :P.

      Why not just call? KQ no diamond would be a better bluff, no?

      Tend to agree with the majority of what you guys are saying. I don't think that checking the flop is necessarily the best line though. Quite happy to have this hand in my cbet range and not feel too grossed out by flop/turn raises. May be the wrong thinking though tbh.

      Why not just call? KQ no diamond would be a better bluff, no?
      Kinda felt that he had to bet fold a nut flush so the Qd was pretty insignificant. Would obviously be better to not have the Qd, but i don't think i win enough by just calling and felt shoving puts him in a way more awkward spot with more of his range.

        vs another tag. This one was more questionable. The limper was a 93 vpip fish so i can definitely have TT/66/67/68/65 etc. The question is how often i bet them otr as oppose to checking them. My plan was to check and take showdown when he checks (expect to win some of the time) and check raise if he bets (has to bet his nfd's and AK AQ type hands, if he can have them) Let me know what you think

Not to mention if im flatting all big pairs i can flat wider too, and therefore can outplay the reg in position a ton.

          If you are adjusting from a default it's not a default any more..... perhaps you need to check the dictionary.
