Spewed really hard in this hard because I clicked "call" instead of "raise". I have 0 limping range on SB.


Biggest Winning Hands:

Sorry for the delay.

So we are keeping the pot small when we are ahead and making it bigger when we are presumed to be behind? Doesn't seem very +EV to me.

It doesn't change the fact that you can't say in your reads that "he doesn't fold overpairs" so that you're going to set mine in a 3bet pot, yet you are also planning to bluff dry boards. So either you stack off when you hit your set (most likely won't hit, so forfeiting a 3bet raise, and won't add up to all the times you miss), or you're going to bluff raise, and he'll shove over and you'll have to fold. You got lucky in that hand with TT, but your plan was not profitable in the long run.

Oh sorry, I meant "doesn't fold overpairs on flop". There are always lines that you can take to rep very strong hands and its just a matter of exploiting this kind of line. I am very sure that flatting TT here is +EV. Very good players have a FT3B of ~40 in position and TT is on the top of that range.

So we're going to have to float the flop and turn to raise the turn?? Do you realize how expensive that'll be? In a 3-bet pot, if he won't fold the flop, it is going to be hard to show a profit with your bluffs. Or you're going to raise the flop (he doesn't fold) and then bluff the turn? Going to be very expensive if he decides he's going with ti.

I don't see how TT can possibly be +EV here against a value 3-bet range. Given that this MP vs BB, I don't think he's light 3-betting you.

You said you would bluff raise on dry boards repping sets. If the board comes 7 high, do you really think V is going to fold? (no). So then why are you raising then? And if you're going to flat when draws are on the flop and then raise the turn when they come in, what about the majority of the time that they miss and V keeps hitting the bet button? You're going to have to fold anyways.

I mean I suppose you can keep running amazing and hope that you keep flopping sets in 3-bet pots, but long run this is definitely not a profitable move.

If I miss, I'll be Folding 60%, raising 30% on dry boards and flatting 10% intending to raise turn. If I miss wet board I'll be folding 80%, raising 0% and floating with the intention to raise all turned draws and possibly jam river. Villain is not going to triple barrel all that often. Of course every time that he does it I lose $$.

Lets say my calling range is 45s to TJs(excluding 89s), all PP(excluding 50% 22-66), a few random broadways, and 20% of my AA/KK/QQ. And I use a strategy where my FtFCB is 60% FtTCB is 40%. Villain is going to have an extremely hard time playing against me OOP with a narrow range.

He may not triple barrel but if he calls your bets he still wins. You'r assuming that everytime you raise, you win the hand, but this is far from the case.

Not sure what's so difficult for him to play against that range considering this is a 3bet pot? You're forfeiting a far large portion of your stack each time than in a single raised pot. And don't kid yourself, you're not raising 45s preflop. Why did you exclude 89s btw (random?)

Because 89 flops one butt end combo that gets beat by AK. 89TJQ. And he will need to do a lot of homework on me before he can play profitable while I don't have to do anything to put him on a range. If he calls too much then I will adjust by folding flop 80% of the time, if he folds too much I'll fold flop 60% of the time.


In an extreme example:If he never folds AA KK postflop ever, then I should theoretically be calling ATC. If he always folds AA KK postflop, I should also theoretically be calling. Do you see what I mean? His narrow raising range is a detriment vs players who knows how to abuse. He should really be raising to 15-20bb preflop if he's this narrow, or else I can make a profit flatting wide.

And if I shove 50 into a $100 pot OTR on a scare card, I only need to win 1 out of 3 to break even. I don't really need him to fold that much.

Put yourself in his shoes:

1)You raise AA/KK/AK/AQ/TJs preflop vs MP open and MP flats. Flop comes 379 two tone, you cbet and I fold 60% and you win 10.5bb I lose 10bb.

2)You raise AA/KK/AK/AQ/TJs preflop vs MP open and MP flats. Flop comes 379 two tone, you cbet and I call 30%. Turn T, you bet 25bb into 40bb pot, I raise all in for 75bb, you?

2)You raise AA/KK/AK/AQ/TJs preflop vs MP open and MP flats. Flop comes 379 two tone, you cbet and I raise 10% to 35bb, you?


TLDR: you will win many small pots but be flipping or dead in big pots.

Played a few sessions which canceled each other out

What? This makes absolutely no sense. You don't know how to abuse him. You do realize losing 10BB per hand is pretty bad, if you're folding 60% of the time, that's 60BB right there. This doesn't even take into account that you may try to float and have to fold to a 2nd barrel, try to float and the V doesn't fold anyways, etc.

And if I shove 50 into a $100 pot OTR on a scare card, I only need to win 1 out of 3 to break even. I don't really need him to fold that much.

This is the wrong way to look at it. $50 of that $100 pot was originally yours. Yes I understand the concept once you put it in the middle, its gone. But I'm talking about the net amount of money you have at the beginnning of the hand vs the end. So no, you need to get called less than 1 out of 3 times to break even for the hand. $100 of $150 ($50 that was already in there before hand, plus your $50 river bet) is yours.

A) You're asking for very specific boards to help you out, and B) fold equity is significantly less in 3bet pots. I don't think you'll generate as many folds as you'd like.

Don't take my word for it. Ask around and see if others will flat TT or 78s here. I am probably not the best at explaining this kind of concept.

-$83, EV catching up to me. Also running into top of the range a lot today.

Roll: 1498

Biggest losing pots:

Guy steals 23% and FTResteal 80%. I was 3b him pretty frequently and am flatting because I don't think he's calling too wide to a shove and also merging my range a little(calling here with SC alot as well given pot odds + position).

Wow, it is seriously insane how good you run, at least 5 or 6 of the graphs you've posted, you've been above EV, often times by a ton. Meanwhile, I'm only 23 BI below AIEV in my last 70K hands, lol.

Good luck in 100NL man

Hehe you caught me, I tend to only update graphs when I'm on a heater. My actual EV was actually lower than my green line about 2k hands ago.

Nice going, do you have plans on moving over to shorthanded at some point? Do you start tables or play some at headsup tables?

Thanks Panda,

I frequently start tables. I've found that you get the juiciest tables when you sit down. Fish don't like to waitlist so they'll join the first table that they can sit in on.


As for 6-max, I've tried 2k hands of it at 50NL but it didn't turn out so well. Unfortunately FR games at rev don't run enough at the 1/2 2/4 limits so I'll have to add 6max tables sometime in the future to maintain my hourly winrate.

What you mean maintain your hourly winrate? I thought you hadn't reached those limits (yet! soon enough)?

Yeah sounds good, that's what I thought aswell, so better jump into 6max sooner then later GL with it, will be following!

My hourly right now is $17 per hour 12 tabling 50NL Cutting my tables down to 3-4 just to play higher stakes would not increase my winrate, so I will have to mass table somehow, either by adding lower stake tables or branching horizontally into 6m

Forgot my ID today so I couldn't go out with my friends. Came home early at 10pm, decided to grind some poker and get my first 100NL session at intertops. There weren't enough tables running so I added some 50NL, but the ones that did run was filled with fish, I just love Fridays.

Lol hand of the day:
