And link to the post about Stars?
Lol, you know that blockers overrealize in real life way more than on pio, right? Pio has clairvoyance over blockers and it's easy to find 4-8 bbev differences over some lines only because of blockers. Now imagine vs players who don't even consider them.

And villain wouldn't pot JT into 2 people, maybe AJ.

The post is in the last page I think, if not the one before that.

I never said don't consider them... just don't obsess over them.

On said Asian site I play on some villains only use the pot button to bet with the nuts or bottom pair, so are you saying that stars is so predictable that there is not one person in the zoom pool that might bet large there with random junk there? Anyway you should just fold turn if that's your reasoning as someone else said.

Whales bet with that sizing ofc, but I had 6 hands on the guy I think, so had 0 clue. Some regs could go for thin value with AJ thinking my check range would have 0 overpairs on it and that the fish had 0 good hands after x.

I assigned him a range of 9x+ for value + lots of draws ott

And I don't obsess with them, in spots I know villaims won't bluff enough I will fold my bluffcatcher no matter the blockers, the same with overbluff spots. Now in spots I'm not sure I will mostly decide my play based on my blockers, by doing that I will lose less/win more on average if I'm wrong. And it's a practice that helps my game vs top players, so if I have that habit I will naturally be playing better vs strong opposition.

I already explained the reasons why I play on stars some pages ago.
You over-value blockers so hard, it's actually embarrassing.

Blockers are way more important in PLO. In NLHE, they have some significance, but no where near as much as you like to believe. You should stop taking RIO videos you've watched so literally.

What were you going to do with this blocker information anyway? Call river if a spade comes because he can never have a flush, but fold river if a spade doesn't come because he can't be bluffing with a flush draw as you have the A of spades? What warped logic.

I was calling all rivers with this combo but the K,T and Q, I would also fold even the As on spade rivers, because even though I hold the blocker, ppl underbluff there. On all of those I would still call with my AA without spades, because most of villain's bluffing range will have the As (which he shouldn't bluff much, but people do). Vs an opponent who is bluffing his busted Ax draws that strategy is absolutely destroying them, because I will know when more of 50% of his bluffs will be in his range and won't. I haven't sim that yet, but I expect that the call with AA unblocking the spades could have maybe a 20bb difference over defending it with the blocker vs someone who isn't blocker aware in that spot given how few value combos he will have.

And KK/QQ will do a better job there by blocking value also.

The same could be applied when facing bet check bet ranges, the spade blocker becomes way stronger because most fds are betting turn. As I said here countless times: pio won't barrel all fds ott because of that blocker factor and if you know the implications of that in how villain's bluffs will interact with his blockers you will end up increasing your bluffcatching success frequencies by a lot because you will have way more info about villain's hand on average.

Rapid,

I hope you stop your daily grind well before your brain gets destroyed. Our minds are biological computers that get less accurate after a long period of use. This can cause more questionable decisions near the end of a grind.

The less complicated your strategy that you implement at the tables in real time, the longer your mind can grind correctly.

Vaaaaaaamooooooo!

Yeah, I should have quit 500 hands earlier, I valuebet a set on a 4 to straight board for 75% because I couldn't see well the board, meh. Kept playing after that, I only quit after I realized I had thoughts saying I couldn't win.

And my strat is complex, which sucks, I shift my std game a lot vs fish, but my thought process vs them is way more simple now, also playing fearless poker helps ny sanity a lot.

Rapid is too ashamed to admit this but mirage and vo2 are friends of his. They constantly give him advice. It's very clear that they care about how he does in poker otherwise why would they be so passionate in their posts?

I don't consider them enemies nor friends, the thing is that:

Roll is at $3.5k! I'll take shots a little early at 100z this friday if it will stay around that number. Somewhat loose BRM, but fridays are too good, if everything goes well I'll keep grinding 50z on weekdays and stick to 100z on weekends.

Volume started well at the beginning of the month but was lazy in the last few days and will go out tomorrow and the day after with a friend and my brother. We are going to a poker club here in the city, I went there only twice, it's a very busto place lol. Not by the looks, it's very cool in there, but nobody knows anything about poker, I think you have to pay to enter their freerol lol!!!

One friend of mine played this hand in there at nl50(in US dollars, which is the only cash game in there), 400bb effective, guy opens 25bb from UTG, he 3-bets to 75bb and the guy clicks it back to 150bb, he jammed ATs. haha! And he was telling me he was right, because he flopped a straight and the guy got a flush OTR(villain had AA obv)

I expect that mirage would be the best player of the club, so I'll smoke lots of weed to counterbalance that! haha! Also my roll outside of pokerstars is almost 0, we will be gambling with our money for food, if we don't win we will have to cook at home

Will play again on friday boys! Let's see if I can beat 100z!
vaaaaaaaaamooo


Graph for the year so far




Some hands

H1: I don't like my sizing OTR, sure that I'll have to jam a lot in there to deny some chops when I have 5x, but I feel people just fold without thinking in there. Obv vs a tough player I like the play, but vs weaker players I think I'm losing a lot of value in there. Maybe bet small could be good? I haven't ran a sim on this(and won't for a long time, too rare of a runnout), so I could be wrong in my analysis. Should I bluff my sets or my Ax? I think sets could beat some Ax from villain, Ax loses to everything but blocks his folding range.

H3: vs fish, had to hold myself a lot to not bluff the turn or the river lol. I didn't value plays like these that much, but if I can avoid burning a stack(or some bbs) by not bluffing in a spot where it's obviously bad, then it's a very good play. In this spot I think even vs regs it's bad to bluff the turn or the river. First of all, turn is insanely strong for villain, to the point where he should donk with a lot of his range(PIO suggested donking range for small in a sim I ran sometime ago), OTR after he checks he will have lots of Jx in there and even though I'm supposed to check back range OTT, I know most people will just smash the turn with their FHs/flushes and villain probably knows that.

So his range when he checks again the river will be very often trips that will never fold, I'll also be repping the same hand, so he won't fold. Ofc all of this is heavily based on the fact that villain is overfolding flop, which I think it's accurate, so he won't have as many PPs that went for thin value OTF and decided to call the 3-bet.

Folds overpair - JJ - on the turn in a 3bet pot.

1 week later, calls 2x pot river bet with 3rd/4th pair on a flush-completing.

You bipolar kid???

I like you, Rapidy.
