The way you call fun players whales and fish ect... no wonder everyone hates poker pros. Have some manners, these "huge whales" pay the bills

scared money...




+1, very unethical of u to call them out!

+1

Reason for turn bet with AT?

Tuesdays are evening grind, its champions league night you must be a spurs fan!

#lol_value+block

Shut up fish.

sorry if i offended but there aren't even screen names in the hand histories. The fish are unidentifiable. Also since when do recreational players read 2p2 or PG&C? If i was at the table calling fish fish then i totally see what you're saying but i think you've gone a bit over the top here

Wanna bet some Ax for value, particularly when he's 3b a lot of smaller suited aces that i can gain value from.

hahaha, i don't actually support any football team avidly. I do love watching champions league though so ty for the heads up

Just finished a brain frying 10 hour grind. Was a total shambles. Ran aaaaabsolutely awful and played even worse for a good chunk in the middle (or the huge downtick from even to -1800). Actually really really pleased to finish less than 1k down. I cannot describe how ridiculous im running at 400 6max. It's unreal. I cannot win a single pot or hold in an all in to save my life.



This was kinda tilting. Not sure what to do otf here. Thoughts welcome:



Horrific cooler vs



Awesome line:



Right at the end of the session vs reg:



Meant to grind tomorrow but not sure how up for it i'll be after putting in so many hours today.

Just to vent a bit more here's my yearly 400nl 6max graph:



Yucky.

gl guys!

Don't think its over the top to tell you not to call people fish or whales

and stop eating meat

fold pre with 68.

jamming seems nut worse option iyam. people arnt raise/folding anywhere near enough in 3bpots (even vs 1/3) and even the worse parts of his range kind of crush you.

His play w TT isnt too glorious either

You're a mod right? You should be setting an example.. not insulting other members

It's fine when the guy calling a fish a fish is a fish

I thought my joke was glaringly obvious (even though a little crass)

banhammer at the ready!

Im just trolling you pony.. I take no offence.
But the calling bad/weaker players names like fish super whale ect is def not needed.

It's over the top ******ed, yes.

68s easy fold pre

and probably just muck flop vs that size, can call if he's raising overpairs tho with bluff equity on the river, since he won't be able to jam a lot of turns on this texture, and will most likely x and fold on a lot of runnouts

pretty sure that most softwares will suggest raise/calling TT as the most EV play there

68s hand, obv depend how much crap Ben 3b sb vs co, and how much co is opening/defending etc. it isn't the best hand to 3b with pre but definitely not as bad as you guys suggest it is, blocking some part of his calling range and does okay vs his broadway range etc.

flop, I wouldn't cbet there with 68s vs anyone that have a clue, don't think you get enough fold not mention you get raised a lot of the time then you hate everyoption

seems like a no brainer c/c spot and we could c/jam a lot of turns

one time baby




Teh bot im using does not

blocks half the T8s/JTs combos, which are both more than likely suppose to be betting nearly 100% even in a mixed strat(which should make our raising range tighter obv). Maybe raise/calling JJ since it blocks half the combos TT does, but TT seems doubtful, QQ no heart for sure, with heart close-ish? other input variables needed as well...hero's sb 3betting range, flop c-betting range, the 3bet-jamming subset of flop cbet range, etc.


and what you said might be true in a vacuum but def need to be calling some TT/JJ/QQ with a heart combos to protect our turn calling range, as well as not blocking his combo draws and jams on flop, ie KQhh/JThh etc.


Not sure the combinatorics/blocker effect is as influential to the ev calc as i think.

yeh, i didn't even check tbh

well i kinda think it is a bit.

NO

What do you suggest i do instead? Type out 'this guy is a 50 something vpip player'?

Thanks for the feedback guys, i definitely agree that i butchered this hand horribly and shipit2kg, thanks a lot you've really broken it down well. I was quite surprised to see TT for similar reasons that you gave about blocking straight draws. I'm gunna run a sim on that hand when i next do some off table work. Thanks again boys

This feels kinda sketch

Got about 2 hours sleep last night, just felt so sick all night which was kinda weird. Feeling a lot better now. Started a session and within 65 hands i was stuck 1500. The main one being a redraw at 1k for stacks. Extremely pleased to not have lost again!



booo vs reg



vs good reg:



woops:



Got placement tomorrow. Once every couple of years my sister and husband rent a big place for us all to gather so my gf and i, with a group of their friends are going to a place in Wales for the weekend. Should be a lot of fun!

gl over the weekend everyone

Ha all good.

I think context needs to be taken in to consideration with bens posts. He's not trying to insult players by calling them fish or whales.... It's just a way of speeding up the narrative of his thread.

I think he views it important to let the reader know what type of player the hand happened against. He could write out "this player was extremely loose passive, I saw him call 3 streets with bottom pair in a previous hand but he was unfortunately unlucky. Villain also liked limp/3 betting whenever he had AA and somewhat over valued overpairs no flush draw on 5678 monotone boards". He's not trying to insult the guy just sometimes it's easier to use one or two words rather than a paragraph.
