I would do exactly the opposite, villain being more aggro means he possibly has more bluff combos by the river thus making the check/call higher ev, against a nit he might give up hands he should be bluffing with on the river but will still end up hero calling some thus shoving

anyway as default I would check/call this combo, one of the pretty solid bluffcatchers

I'm sorry, typed it wrong, if hero is viewed as more aggro we should jam, if we're viewed as a nit, more like check-calling

you should really try to find balance in your game rapidesh instead of playing the game of I think that he thinks that I think that he thinks

I try to find balance and do stuff that I think is reasonable, like having solid checking ranges rather than go super thin.
But when I see a chance to take someone down, I take it.

The goal in poker isn't to play as close to gto as possible, but to make the most money off people as possible.

Just as an example, flatting JJ from the BB is a terrible play, but vs someone opening only 99+ and AQ from UTG, isn't it the best play? I do my best to use GTO lines, like range checking when the board became really strong for villain, I use standard cbet sizings for each texture vs regs, but vs a fish, what's the point of betting 33% with your set if you can make it 110% and go for stacks OTR?

The mentality of going full explo is very dangerous, since we end up going super nuts with a super inconsistent game, like explo folding better hands and calling worse hands, but that focus on GTO has its problems too. Just as an example MMAsherdog gave: he saw Eccentric limping from the BTN with a tight fish in the blinds that was overfolding to steals. What's the point of playing GTO for the sake of being GTO?

The best thing is to use both, not overvalue or undervalue any of those.

yes the GTO line vs someone opening 99+ and AQ from utg would be to almost always call JJ, obviously deviate massively against whales it's not a big deal but you want to make money against bricked club draws in his KTdd hand thus if you want to bluffcatch you should be doing it with hands that aren't blocking any of his draws

Well explained guys
I think checking river is better, villain was pretty aggro.

I have no clue if I beat these stakes, but I do feel pretty pumped playing some bigger pots

Not really happy with the way I played today, was pretty tired and we only played 3.5k hands.
We played like a monkey, but the Ev gods were with us
