Misclick min 5b nines 200bb effective and had to call it off vs aces, which was fun. Other than that, mostly just made a bunch of poor river calls.

1) Will post this one for spice value

    Hey,

    Some answering the question on intuition as I would play the spot real time.

    Flop is going to be range small sizing.

    Turn check: 99/TT/QQ/ATs/A5s/AA/KQs/KJs/KTs/9Ts/50%AJs

    0% c/r on dry badugi boards.

    Something like that probably.

    Didn't play a single hand over the weekend, as I was away for the Rag n' Bone Man gig in Glasgow. Ended up meeting up with some friends down there and having a nice meal and some drinks on the Sunday night, so didn't get home until last night. Good weekend, but really tiring, so somewhat glad to be home and back at the tables.

    Graph above is from today. Didn't play well at all in the early session, but focused a lot more in the second half of the day and battled hard for pots.

    Rationale was supporting Rag, and I've never seen them before, but they were really really good. In love with this song r/n:



    Some hands from today:

    1) Posting this to shame myself, as think its the worst I've played a single street all year.

            Haha, wpwp. Although basically all crypto on the rise right now, so you could have picked Dash/BTC/XRP/LTC and been right also!

            -----------------------------------------



            Graph since last update. Basically just loads of folding turns in big pots or getting coolered. Don't think I played particularly well, but could just be being results oriented.



            November MTD graph. Pleased that I've been able to put in OK volume at 500z, with the tables being decent for the most part. I'm posting this now, as I'm leaving for Germany tomorrow morning, so won't be playing any online poker for the rest of the month in all likelihood.

            Hopefully come back reinvigorated and have a nice December to close out the year.

            Not much in the way of interesting hands, but this one annoyed me, as this guy charges a fkn fortune for coaching, yet seemingly doesn't understand pretty basic preflop stuff. That or tilt I guess.

              Well limper is a reg with an EP limp strat, but even if that's not the case I'm pretty sure we don't just get to continue 100% of our range to a non min 4bet OOP with a 3/2 SPR.

              With reasonable ranges he has about 25-28% equity, so if he realises 100% of that OOP and never makes mistakes postflop then it's just about negligible vs a fold.

              As long as you never 4b a bluff with a 5 or 6 and are able to realise 90%+ of your equity then yeah I guess it's fine. In reality I think A5/A6s are going to show up in a lot of 4b ranges and he realises like 60-70% of equity post on avg.

              Peeling 4bets with SCs is usually slightly +EV at best, this one is slightly -EV. Good price but OOP & low SPR.

              Yeah didn't convert the 4bet to bbs properly, it's probably losing. In general though people flat the wrong SCs to 4bets, these low ones do okay. With preflop being completely solved anyway so guess everyone will get lernt and stop junking it off soon.

              Also obviously out the guy for the drama

              Good to know we're on the same page. Obviously it's not a huge mistake at all, just annoyed me real time as I was getting demolished. W/e it's Karl, who I actually think is v good, but misplayed this one.

              65s is the best suited connector to peel along with T9s, both are pretty much never folding (5% fold), the 4betting strategy is optimal though so it might be different from yours, but then again it's impossible to ever know the exact 4bet range of any regs

              if you want I can try to nodelock your exact strategy versus his 3bet range there and we'll see if his peel was -EV or not but personally over all the pre flop sims I've ran, 65s is never folding to a 4bet (never tried super large sizings)

              so yeah anyway I understand why you would be annoyed about losing this hand but I don't think we can fault Karl for peeling preflop here

              This is uncalled for. No one comes into your thread saying 5b jamming 76hh SBvsEP is probably not a good idea. To each his own. Nit/spazztard, at the end of the day everyone is just clicking buttons.
