H1: Would fold preflop.
H2: If he jams QQ preflop you have ex call down or ez bet flop. Even if he doesnt jam QQ preflop, like wtf. You have aces in a 4bet flop. If he has a set in 4bet flop, so be it. Just play for stacks.

H3: Played ridiculously bad if you understand poker just a little bit

You are vs 76 BB fish who flat calls from SB - he can literally have any 2pair combos + every missed flush draw + thinking he can bluff random **** because you bet 1/4 pot on the flop which is considered a weakness by the average fish and he thinks you dont have the Ace.

Not not mentioned you are not blocking Ace of clubs.

H4: I 4bet pre but like it as played.

H5: Tough spot but without info i would not fold the turn.

H6: Sux but i believe they have it everytime here. Folding as well. In theory mb you have to call so you dont get exploited. Thats one of the best combos you can have btw.

H7: this is the toughest hand imo. Villians must be squeezing every hand that he represents besides mb QJ. So he is only representing QJ/KT for weaker two pair. Im not sure i would beleive him here. He has tons of bluffs like JT/KJ/9J etc. Having ace of clubs means you can jam rivers as a bluff on a club as well. Not sure if thats +ev though.

H8: betting flop and check/calling turn is my standard play. You can check flop with weaker queens and lower pockets to balance.

H9: Folding turn as well.

H10: A of spades limits their draws a lot and i am mb folding turn as they are made hands heavy and you only beat AQ from their made hands. At least one of them has better.

Oh H2 and H3 tilted me big time.

H3, I didn't even get to that one before.. Embarrassing. Just quit poker.

He could be calling my 4-bets that wide, he could even have 62o if he wanted, but is it realistic? I think villain's range will be really heavy with 88-QQ and some AK/AQs, while mine will have lots of KK/AA/AK, some Axs, some AQo/very few SCs.

Given those ranges, I prefer to range x back. Also some guys might have an absurd proportion of TT/QQ in their range if they are explo folding pre (which is a reasonable assumption given he was on the tighter side).

Can you elaborate on the benefits of a 1.3bb cbet with tptk vs a fish?

Not saying he calls all those hands every time but it's the range of hands that they will show up with, your better off flatting AA then 4betting and checking honestly it's a disaster. You check a **** ton of flops in general and when you bet often some wierd 1/5 pot or something, this is definitely not from pio who loves betting most of everything and likes big sizes a lot.

Actually you could just forget everything about pio and learn to just bet huge when you have it and you would do better.

they float wider than pio, we get more EV by playing more turns with a fish.

Also even if betting bigger would be better, it hurts my mental game to try to exploit everyone in every small spot, so it's good to have some automatic plays just for the sake of consistency.

Btw, running some sims on that AA spot, here is how it's going:

PF ranges:



Equities (equilibrium):
IP 24.9
OOP 21.1

Locked IP to range x back OTF and the equity went to 24, somewhat reasonable EV loss for the simplification

Locked IP to range cbet and now it is 24.5, so yeah, range cbetting with monker ranges loses less EV in theory(but not that much).

In a range check back scenario this is what happens OTR



But OOP was stabbing way less than I expect people to do IRL since PIO knows we're range x back, which makes its range way stronger, giving us more reasons to fold. If villains are stabbing more OTT, then they might get to the river with more bluffs. OTR we will be well protected with a lot of AK, so AA isn't such a strong hand in there.

But this is an argument for the x back, if we're range x back the flop and villains are stabbing more than PIO we're actually overrealizing vs them.

Nvm, this just makes me frustrated to see, you have the right tools but using it so completely wrong :S

Dude, have you considered another endeavor? Chess?

Have you considered using ur time for something more productive too?

Put a lot of volume so far, I think I've played at least 15k hands this month! Maybe 20k! Putting way more volume with 3 tables and focusing more on poker.

I've been going to a therapist and she made me realize a lot of reasons why I was so miserable and always felt so down, it's insane how my sessions with her are better than the other ones I've gone before. All the other therapists were insanely more qualified, but they did basically nothing to me, like close to 0 help after 6 months of going every week, it's unbelievable how connecting to your doctor is way more important than anything else.

Still not studying for the government job, I will keep away from that **** for at least the end of the year, it's so bad and I wasn't progressing much in that area neither. My plan is still to focus on the government job in the future, but I need some time to go back to studying those annoying subjects. So I'm a actually a "full time pro" until the end of the year haha vamo!

H1: maybe calling is better, but I prefer to fold his bluffs that beat me

vaaaaaaaaaaaamoooooo

Dude, have you considered not being a dick?

I genuinely think Henrique would be a solid chess player if he put in half the effort that he puts into trying to running Pio sims

You guys might want to consider that Rapi actually likes poker, even though he´s not the best player in the world, has a very low winrate and has quite a few shortcomings (considering what a few respectable players have said here already). He´s still a lifetime winner at 50nl from what I can remember, and is probably making more $ with his meh winrate right now than he can realistically expect to make playing chess (unless he wants to go into coaching, other projects that he can monetize involving chess, or he really likes the game ).

Anyway, vaaaamoooooooooooo

I wouldn´t completely stop studying for the government job tho. Ok, realisticially speaking you might be forced to wait quite a few years until they open new jobs there (as our country public sector is still more or less screwed and public job opening is not a high priority to the government right now), but studying for those tests is an endeavour where you really want to be disciplined and consistent. And I think these traits also translate well into poker.

why dont you go live if got the bankroll Rapidesh bigger winrate softer games deep!!!! stacks and tables.
GL and nice to hear your Drs actually helpful

who is Henrique? OP?

h3 wtf?

Ty, really enjoying it, so fun to play more hands! vaaaaaaaaamo!

I just gotta take a break for a while, I used to study for 6-8h/day every day with almost no weekends or holidays in 2017 and early 2018, now I can't look to more law exercises or any other stupid subjects I had to study, was studying 2h/day worth of real study in the last months. Better to recover the batteries, it's a long run game, just like poker, also I was really careful with my area and subjects I focused on, so 80% of my studies can be applied to almost any government job test(not only taxman that I was focusing on), so even if in that area things go badly I can try for other areas.

Live poker where I live is just for fun, stakes are too low

H2: vs reg that was somewhat nitty and had a very low raise OTR, 48 wwsf over a large sample and I think I've played against him on 100z and maybe 200z. I've given up a bluff that was always a bluff vs him some hands before that. Call or fold? He reps nothing and I don't think he is good enough to just jam TT+ here for value, so if he had bluffs, I thought he would overbluff like crazy, specially since he shouldn't x/c twice with sets and has 0 2x combos. I used to auto-fold in these spots without thinking just because "people don't bluff"

vaaaaaaaaaaamooo

H4) what the **** are you doing?

lol "nitfish"

always cracks me up

H4: Which hand/ spot are you referring to where I say fold?

Every spot is fairly different and you need to have an extreme read to make these folds. For example, if I was villain I would jam (at some frequency at least) KQdd, KJdd, QJdd 98dd, 87dd, 76, ATs (mostly 4b), JJ, some QQ... add in some punts and theres a ton of hands you crush. If you put this in PIO i'm sure the solver would tell you its a cataclysmic fold.


Anyway, I just wanted to write this so people don't think I condone this fold lmao

I really dont understand how you fold H4 and call H8

+1

50nl meta ldo

have a bit more faith in pio and less in your soul reads please
