he's right though mirage, having little invested and deciding to bluff your stack isn't necessarily bad, in this case it was pretty terrible hand selection but if you want to hold your own against good regs you're going to have to find some bluffs sometimes in spots where you feel like you're never bluffing

I think you may need to change the way you think about poker if you want to become a better poker player mirage, check your ego at the door

Doesn't mean anything. People get lazy and a PGC here was useless for me as I was only posting graphs to myself really. I'm doing fine though, thanks.

I will say again though that winning/breaking even at NL 50/100z like Rapidesh has over a good sample puts him in the top percentiles of poker players and you constantly calling him a whale here is just showing your own ignorance.

if breaking even at NL50 zoom puts you in the top percentiles, then poker really is dead

If you a small winner at 50z you could could bumhunt 200nl+ on certain sites and do well, so not really.

I'm sure most folks around here know very well why PGC threads end abruptly. No need to embarrass yourself further. Your pgc lasted 21 posts so I understand why your a rapish fanboy. lawl.


There are multiple reasons for it being bad, in general its just random and stupid and that's about as in depth I'm interested in going into it. And I don't have an ego on the poker tables at all. I used to but not anymore, although its clear some players can never leave their ago behind. They are usually the ones who punt off as much as they win trying to battle other ******s doing the same thing.

Nope I think the honours for that go to our own poker genius majsdhi.

omg what have you done with the old xenoblade

j/k good post haha

Can you suck my dick any harder? Fk boi

Do your thing OP and *** da haterz. GLGL, subd

There's also a reason that you've never done anything on here and don't post hands or ask opinions and just try to put rapid and others down on here. It's not because you're afraid of giving advice as you've said (in I believe Broken's thread) because you wouldn't give advice itt if that were the reason, but because you absolutely suck and can't stand that rapid's winning with play you think should lose.

Which hand is better to bluff? A5s ofc, but we need more than that, which ones you would pick?


cool to play against you, man! GL

vaaaaaaaaamoooooooo

your only value combos there are AA and A6s, if you somehow 3bet A6s 100% here then you'd have all the combos postflop which means by the river you have 3 combos of AA 2 combos of A6s and 3 combos of A5s, definitely don't need more bluff combos than that

This is too funny coming from you. Took me 2 comments to have you close your thread....... Are you still dreaming about skinning me alive?

Its a big overbet we need to be bluffing there 45%, so only 3 bluff combos wont do it, we could also have a straight flush combo there for value

Someone's in a good mood today. Let me guess you gii with a set otf and villain rivered quads on you?

One question, do you fold his hand in that spot vs some players?

You're right there is a reason, and its because I'm not interested in getting the opinions of garbage/mediocre regs like yourself who think they know it all but can't even get past 25nl zone, and have to run off to pokermaster to make money. We can compare 25 zone results if you like, just make sure your winning over 9bb before even bothering. lawl.

This thread is of course the exception because of the entertainment value of watching rapid trying to play poker.

Am I the only one who thinks he is on his way on becoming a true legend?

thx, man!!

Btw, was going to post about a downswing coming, but somehow I found out some wizards in the way that helped me come back to even LOL!!! Btw, I was playing with excessive confidence in these days, so made a lot of mistakes, starting to play better again.


Some hands, boys!!

H3: vs reg, he snap called the turn lol. Decided to cc because RFI was nit, so expected him to be way tight in his 3-bet, the reason why I didn't jam pre-flop. Decided to jam because thought he wouldn't bluff enough OTR and he was stationy

H4: vs nitty player that I saw giving up on the easiest bluff OTR in a river his range got there, so on this river where he has a lot of bluffs, I don't think he is bluffing enough(or even valuebetting AK) for me to call. Good fold?

H6: OTR it's a call or a fold? I think my blockers are neutral, since he isn't bluffing with Ad, also thought he could show up with some weak draws in this line, which I block none. 3-bet OTF is fine, right? Villain was quite aggro and was raise-happy OTF, so I expected him to have a lot of pocket pairs in there.

you could add 2 combos I guess given straight flush that I hadn't even noticed, and it would obviously not be QQ ever, so you were probably massively overbluffing

also people raise their set because you're supposed to raise set a lot more than flat against 1/3 sizing, if you want people to call to protect their range then c-bet bigger

also not folding the 55 in villain's shoes in your QQ bluff hand unless I have a very good read

On a positive note for once, this would be the first time I have gone over your hands without once laughing or shaking my head.

Lets see.


The plays by the regs in H2/H3 are pretty lol, but I'm not sure if that's because they are really that bad or they think you are really that bad.

H4. You can't fold there.

H5. River is a fold. You literally just beat random air.

H6. This looks like 2 brazilian regs battling. Both unsure what to do on any street and just cluelessly clicking buttons. Flop is a flat, if you get it in your up against 4x too often. Your turn sizing is terrible, and pointless, what are you value betting that size? Villains river donk is lol bad, and so is your call.

Let's consider villain has a somewhat tightish 3betting only range COvUT with 100bb eff. stacks.
How much money do you think that river call makes on average in terms of EV?

I really do think that will help OP more than just saying "you can't fold".

That's asking too much effort for this thread, I have no idea of the specific ev, you better ask some geeky break even reg for that kind of thing.

My thinking is that rapids villains reads are usually totally wrong, so 'tightish' image means nothing, and regs are clearly getting out of line vs him often, so I think AK is a profitable call there. A typical villain can have bluffs and AK there often enough especially against whales. Generally speaking how can you call AK in that spot pre and fold on that board for 100bb?

Fair enough, thank you.

Now if OPs read is negligible, even better, as we then can assume we're playing against unknown, and we don't have to make any adjustments.

Don't get me wrong, I honestly don't think calling AK there is a losing play, but I am pretty sure that it is not winning (at least not much) either, what makes both decisions equal, and always doing one or the other very bad.
