blocks AA JJ what about the rest of your value range? lol, and bluffing there with AK/AQ is pretty standard. Pretty sure that call is idiotic from someone watching too many otb hands.
bluffing with AQ/AK there is bad
What do you think villain was doing with his AJ if we had checked the river?
Villain almost certainly decided after the turn call that he was never folding river, whatever the card. You can check fold all your bluffs on the river and only shove for value.
Villain shouldn't have that hand in his range after your turn bet and sizing on that board. Just a stubborn bad reg who cant fold ace high.
yeah, some people that call turn thinking about calling most rivers are really bad. I'd say that the rule in 50z/100z is to call turn thinking about folding the river. That's a gross spot if villain has TT/JJ, imagine AJ lol.
ofc I'm not one of the super nits that there are in 50z/100z, but I've learned how to be extra careful with overbluffing because people punish me a lot if I overbluff.
I think I'm a very mediocre player vs unknowns, but once dynamics starts happening, I'm really good at dealing with how people start adapting vs me. Also since recently I grew some cojones and learned how to call, I'm capable of explo calling, bluffing and folding, so I can fully adapt to whatever people are doing to me.
My results are quite bad, but I've ran(non EV spots ofc, ran pretty well on EV) pretty bad and tilted some, but I'm getting a lot better at poker! Also volume is pretty sick, can't believe I've played more than 45k hands, best volume since I've started studying to pass in the government job
Played 3k hands on 100z yesterday. I've decided that I'll post every single bad hand I've played here, let's see if I can minimize spew/bad play by showing those terrible hands
Bad hands
H1: flop it's probably a fold, meh, if not a fold, OTR it's a clear check back imo, went super greedy in that one
River:(69.72 BB, 2 players) A Hero bets 65.64 BB and is all-in, fold
Hero wins 67.22 BB
H3: this is fine vs most players, but villain was a reg that hates to fold, so I think he was trapping with most of his range there to induce, I doubt I had the fold equity vs that range, should just x back and realize my equity. These guys annoy me so much
H4: not sure if it's bad or not, the first 2 guys were fish, so the guy that bet the flop probably was spazzing and the other one was calling with random garbage, I was afraid of the reg that overcalled, but I thought he wouldn't fold AsJx, so with that much dead money in the pot, went with the shove to try to win the dead money and flip vs equity when called(and sometimes be dead)
UTG shows 5 A (Full House, Fives full of Fours)
(Pre 32%, Flop 35%, Turn 89%) Hero mucks A Q (Two Pair, Fives and Fours)
(Pre 68%, Flop 65%, Turn 11%) UTG wins 88.24 BB
Hands that I don't know if it's good/bad
H6: Do you guys fold this vs a fish? I saw some guys calling people down there OTR, but I almost always fold, he has to be turning hands into a bluff, specially with that sizing I think it's As almost always. Good fold?
h1 4bet pre. as played fold the flop.
h3 5bet shove or fold.
h4 your equity is poor on that monotone board. call or fold, shoving is awful. BTN obviously has a decent hand if he's betting into 4 players.
H1: 4bet pre mostly, flop is just a fold 3 ways, in both opportunities. Checking turn is the play I think, wouldnt mind a shove, though it is hard to get called by worse. ez check otr.
H4: folding flop seems correct
H5: c/c flop with this hand, you cant go crazy on this board vs utg. Folding river, villain only has a handfull of fd's as bluffs and a ton of value bets for this size, TT+ probs.
H6: Checking this turn, as villain should be checking close to 100% and this should be one of your weaker hands. Folding river is good I think, only calling va pretty aggro fish. Also 3 bet pre is better imo.
H7: looks good. This hand is a fine bet, and you wanna go small MW on this board
Yeah, I sometimes don't 4-bet AK pre enough, but I had a good reason in this one: to play with the fish, but it doesn't make sense if I'm playing like a fish myself
On h3 yeah, 5-bet shoving should be good vs that guy
On H7 I wasn't 4-betting pre, the 3-bettor was really tight and the opener too, so I wouldn't expect QQ to be a valuebet vs that range.
H6 I flatted because he was quite tight
btw, some hands
H1: Reading the fish's soul! Good value shove OTT? When he pots flop and underbets turn it's very likely he has a midpair, right? This one looks kinda spewy but I'm testing new lines vs fish
BTN shows T T (Full House, Tens full of Sevens)
Board #1 (Pre 80%, Flop 83%, Turn 100%)
(Full House, Tens full of Sevens)
Board #2 (Pre 81%, Flop 83%, Turn 100%)
BTN wins 98.5 BB BTN wins 98.5 BB
H3: decided to jam because I doubt he would just x/c with a set vs a 50% OTF on such wet board, these guys get super afraid of giving free equity when they're holding monsters, so he was likely to have a draw. Good shove?
Played one of the best poker I've ever played today, also sunrunning like crazy, so it's easier to think you play better when people fold when you're bluffing, your hero calls work and you always cooler people lol!
But overall I'm really happy with how I'm playing, will try to wait the most I can until I look at the results vamoooooooooooooo
River:(50.7 BB, 2 players) 7 Hero bets 78.9 BB and is all-in, BTN calls 68.9 BB and is all-in
Spoiler:
Hero shows J A (Straight, Jack High)
(Pre 64%, Flop 52%, Turn 23%) BTN shows T Q (Straight, Ten High)
(Pre 36%, Flop 48%, Turn 77%) Hero wins 184.5 BB
H2: missclick pre, as played, do you like raising turn vs whale? Massive all-in overshove working is insane for the winrate imo, but sometimes I overdo it and lose a lot of value in spots where people would pay me off with a 100% pot sized bet.
fold, Hero raises to 2.32 BB, CO calls 2.32 BB, BTN raises to 11 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 25 BB, CO raises to 242.94 BB and is all-in, fold, fold
CO wins 62.5 BB
H5: vs that guy I hero called his overbet OTR with 77 lol. He snap called lol! is it a bad call? without the Jh it's std, right? TT>JJ here too, right? Since I'm not valuebetting JJ there
Here is how month is going, half of the volume is on 100z. Volume is quite low, but I'll try to play more in the rest of the month
I'm really loving playing poker, maybe a bit too much, every time I'm out with my friends or in family parties I think about poker, that I could be playing and getting better. I'm quite obsessed with it, but I think it will never make me miss good times with people I love, so it's fine. I've had my good old degen times that I was playing super mario while my cousins and my brother were playing outside, it felt super bad lol!
Some hands
Is my line any good? OTF I'm checking most of my range and betting super polarized, like sets+ for value and strong draws, so I thought it made sense to just overbet jam the turn with that range. I'm checking all my overpairs and JJ there, good way to build my range there? Rather than making that jam OTT I thought about making a small bet sizing, like 50%, which you guys think it's better?
fold, fold, CO raises to 2.5 BB, Hero calls 2.5 BB, fold, fold
Flop:(6.5 BB, 2 players) 2 T 4 CO checks, Hero bets 3.21 BB, CO calls 3.21 BB
Turn:(12.92 BB, 2 players) K CO checks, Hero bets 9.2 BB, CO raises to 35 BB, Hero calls 25.8 BB
River:(82.92 BB, 2 players) K CO bets 66 BB, Hero calls 59.29 BB and is all-in
Spoiler:
CO shows 6 6 (Two Pair, Kings and Sixes)
(Pre 19%, Flop 2%, Turn 0%) Hero shows T T (Full House, Tens full of Kings)
(Pre 81%, Flop 98%, Turn 100%) Hero wins 199 BB
H5: vs aggro fish, checking flop is better with this hand than making a 33% cbet with our range, right? This is a spot where I just used to play my ranges, but right now I'm looking to make some exploits there by having a checking range to induce bluffs
H6: vs unknown(probably a fish), is it good to call the river? I thought that he could overbluff a ton if he weren't to careful there, since he was pretty wide pre-flop and OTF
Hand 1. Prefer 40-50% turn.
Hand 4. 3bet pre?
Hand 5. Dont mind mixing 33% or check, depending how stationy V is. AP NH.
Hand 7. Not sure if I prefer giving up on river after turn over bet or trying to pick it up

H1: Yeah, maybe going smaller is better
H4: TT isn't always a 3-bet pre, specially when the pool has a CO RFI almost as tight as their UTG opens, which is more common when I'm in the BTN too
H5: OTR we have to bluff this, it's like the nut combo to bluff there, we don't block any FD which villain has a ton of, he has a lot of pair + busted draws there and we can make him fold that. We have a ton of clubs/spades that will be better give ups. Even though villain is kinda fishy(after I looked at his call OTT), I usually don't miss a good opportunity to bluff with very good blockers.

Some hands
H1: so annoying OTR, meh, guy has 88 all the time, he snap jammed, if he is crazy enough to do it with a busted draw instantly, then gg. 99% of the population won't fold if they were in my shoes, even though they should. Donking turn is std, right? I'm getting used to donking when equity shift like on those turn cards, I'll have some bluffs there too, like A2cc, not that I should have that many bluffs for that sizing.
River:(72.5 BB, 2 players) 8 Hero bets 23.18 BB, BTN raises to 75.24 BB and is all-in, fold
BTN wins 116.36 BB
H2: vs random, thought he was so nutted there that I had odds to draw, OTR I block a lot of his bluffs with the club, good give up? I'll have way better bluffs. Maybe it's a spot I shouldn't even be bluffing anyways since some people check their sets there to get money from bluffs
H3: vs ValentjNN, good bet-fold OTR? I think he is a very good player and capable of having flushes there, also he plays so many tables that I think it would be hard for him to show up with bluffs there.
TT isn't always a 3-bet pre, specially when the pool has a CO RFI almost as tight as their UTG opens, which is more common when I'm in the BTN too
I find that very hard to believe. Your just letting nits off the hook when you flat there, and you do it often flatting AKs even QQ vs co which is garbage.
You are still doing unnecessary bluffs. 52s I am not putting a dime into the pot on that board, just xf.
Don't fold the set on river vs aggro player for 20bb ffs.

44 is a bad combo to bluffcatch there, I would expect that his value range is TT and flushes, QhTx is a way better call there
Played a lot today, tilted a bit during the session but managed to recover my mental game after some breaks!
Some hands
H1: vs fish, this seems like extremely thin and probably in the overplay area. But I'm trying to explore more creative ways to take maximum value from fish, and I'm pretty confident that these donk pot and 50% OTT are usually capped at pairs when fish do that, since he was probably 3-betting QQ, went for full value. Good approach? Villain snap called, so he probably isn't folding JK or TT
River:(79.68 BB, 2 players) 2 SB checks, Hero bets 71.04 BB and is all-in, SB calls 71.04 BB
Spoiler:
Hero shows J A (Two Pair, Jacks and Fives)
(Pre 50%, Flop 48%, Turn 50%) SB shows J A (Two Pair, Jacks and Fives)
(Pre 50%, Flop 52%, Turn 50%) SB wins 108.88 BB Hero wins 108.88 BB
H2: quite lost in this hand, villain was a reg that was capable of 4-betting light, should I jam turn? I don't think that many people just checks with AK there OTT with those draws out there. If I'm checking this back OTT, then I'm calling most rivers, right?
River:(88.56 BB, 2 players) K SB checks, Hero checks
Spoiler:
SB shows T T (One Pair, Tens)
(Pre 54%, Flop 11%, Turn 14%) Hero shows J A (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 46%, Flop 89%, Turn 86%) Hero wins 84.56 BB
H3: vs reg that was aggro OTF and OTT, but not that much OTR, is this a fold? He was so passive OTR and people never fold a pair on this texture, so I thought he wouldn't be bluffing a ton. Also I blocked a lot of bluffs.
H4: ugly hand of the day, meh. I decided to call flop because the PFR was very crazy, so I thought there was a decent chance that we would end up getting it in OTF. Didn't have much info on villain, but he had a high AF and had raised a bet OTR (1/1). I decided to call because villain has so many busted draws in his range that I thought he could end up overbluffing easily if not careful. Also I rep a ton of busted draws myself. Is it an ok call? Should I just raise flop rather than give the RFI a chance to put more money in the pot?
Isn't the AJs flat btn for CO 100bbs deep terrible or am I missing something?
vs optimal 3-bet/cold 4-bet ranges it's a call in those positions, if the RFI were from utg I would have folded
gotta pay attention also to the fact that the 4-bettor had 2k+ hands on me, he also was a competent player, so he knew I was quite wide on my 3-bet. Vs unknowns it's an easy fold even with AQs and JJ, I'm even folding QQ/AK there vs very tight players
AT he can bluff a lot for that price given you rarely have jx or even tx, i dont think you should nit it up in this spot where you can have ak and 55, definitely incorr3ct to say this is a river he wont bluff is what i think

yeah, b vs b it's a call, but villain wasn't defending much vs steals and had a 25% afq OTR
if I could go back in time I would have called, it's so easy to overbluff there
H1: the action in this one doesn't seem special, but timing tells made this hand very fun lol. OTF villain tank checked, I was going to cbet because he overfolded like crazy(even though board was bad, he was setmining and folding to cbets a lot). OTT he tank-checked for 100s LOL!!!!! So I checked back and he insta potted river lol! 100% a set.
btw, opened this hand because BB and SB were folding a lot to the point of being profitable to open any 2, they were 3-betting <3%, so I was realizing a lot of equity
H4: quite loose call OTF, but villain was x/r 45% and had aggro stats OTT, so went for the min-raise there, good to do that vs someone that is super air heavy? Should I make bigger or just call? If he 3-bets us, what is a good strat here? Btw, I'm 3-betting flop with hands like TT+ and some SCs with backdoors
