I think turn is a raise. I have his range super crushed, but he may call with worse draws/pairs. So much value. Only downside to raising is I may fold out some hands that would bluff the river which I have crushed. (such as the hand he had)

Hand 2:

I like this hand. I think c/f rarely, but snap jam it in when he pots the flop.

Hand 3:

I hate how I played this hand. I wanted to give up when the nit called by bet pre (I thought ~70% of his range was KK).

I can't believe my river play. c/c >> c/f >>>>> donk pot

Hand 4:

This one was close. CO is opening 22% and btn is 3betting 8%. I think ~8-9% is the boundary for a 4b to be +EV when I have AKK.

Oh, and I should fold to the 5bet. Got mad, clicked cawl.

mmm kay. I think I'm earning around minimum wage over 6months after RB

It's like 8% PLO25, 50% PLO50, 35% PLO100, 5% PLO200, 2% PLO400+

looks nice. gl with your plo100 shots.

Nice graph! Can you post it with red and blue lines maybe?

It's pointless.

I play like a nit TAG (9 tabling ftw) so blue line is straight up, red line is straight down. Distorts the green/yellow line.

Probably some very stupid questions, but:

Hand 1 - when he re-pots it on the turn, how come you called? Do you think a lot of his raising range consists of 2pairs and lower sets? Or are you putting him on the straight and think you have correct pot odds to draw to a full house?

Hand 2 - how come you checked back the river? Do you think he might have hit the straight?

Hand 3 - how come you called that bet on the turn? Do you think there's a good chance he's bluffing when the straight draw hits? Do you have correct pot odds to draw to the full house?

Hand 1- Only need 30% equity against his range. Against a straight I've got ~18 outs. 2pair/FDs I'm ahead of. Pretty much the only thing that has me crushed is AAhh which is a very small part of his range (ofc, he has this)

Hand 2- He's a fish. I was going to try and bluff him off most rivers because I thought his range was weak when he lead the turn like he did. On this river though not much worse calls(maybe J4/J6?), nothing better folds.

Hand 3- This is a fold on the turn. He's a bit off a spaz but I think his range is too heavily weighted to straights here. For instance.. if he's show up with 25% equity 1/4 the time and 78% (straights) 3/4 of the time its a clear call. I think its probably closer to 1/10 of the time he shows up with random pair+draw **** on this turn.. so It's a fold.

Played $1/2/5 PLO last night. Played horrible my first session running on 4 hours of sleep. Made a marginally bad river call, checked back the turn in a spot where I should probably barrel. Made an interesting 4bet semi-bluff that I think was +EV.

Hand:

Hero has nittish image. I've opened a few times in LP over the last hour. A dealer already mentioned something about me being "from the internet". Maybe I come off as an internet kid.

Villain is a live pro or semi-pro. Knows everyone, is a respected player. Seems to play quite aggro, but well. He 3bet someone pretty snug with J997ds Hj V Btn. Has 3bet ~4 times since I sat down (50 hands?). Seems to be barrel happy.

limp in MP, hero (~$470) in CO raises to $10 with AsJQs8, villain snap 3bets to $25, whale calls in BB with ~$115 total, hero 4bets to $100.

Thoughts? I don't think I have much of an equity edge on BTN but I think I have FE from the squeeze. From villains perspective he's doesn't have much implied odds because the SPR=1 on the flop.

Anywho, he snap called with KKds and I took it down on the flop. I asked if he would have folded KKss and he said yes. Who knows..


This is the hand I think I made the bad turn ch back:

Villain has not got involved postflop in the ~2hours I've played without the nuts. Seems to be playing snug. Ch back turn with FH against a fish and bombed river for pot in one of his hands.

Hero has nittish image and villain in this hand was keen to comment on my 4bet hand and said out loud that I am "capable of thinking", so he probably views me as at least a decent player.


Folds to hero in CO with AQK4ccc opens to $20, villain calls in SB, fish calls in BB.

Flop ($60)

Kh6s3s

check, check, hero bets $45, villain calls, fish folds.

Turn ($150)

9d

villain checks quickly, hero ?


Yeah I think this is kinda close but still a cbet cbet. I think my range and actual hand are slightly ahead of his c/c range pre. I don't think hes going to c/r and fold me off equity. Also I don't think he's slow playing often-- lot's of sets/kings up will c/r flop. When he c/c he has mostly 9 card wraps, pair+FDs, QQss stuff.

So yeah, yesterday was one of the worst live PLO games I've played in terms of action. (I think 4-5 players at the table were pros). Also, I played bad.

-$712 over 7.5 hours.

I can't seem to connect to pokerstars at the casino (it's blocked, maybe?). It's strange though because FT poker works fine.. I suppose I'll try and play a session at FT. Only short tables running which blows.

I had a pretty poor sleep last night so I'm not sure if I'll do too much grinding tonight. Were moving to a better hotel tonight though, thankfully..

More info on this hand? Did whale fold pre? Also obviously he's folding Axx boards and wet boards that don't hit him, but is he folding dry Kings on boards like J62r putting you on exactly AAxx, and if so, does that make his preflop call bad?

Live players tend to know jack **** about this kind of stuff since it comes up so rarely, heh. I literally cannot remember the last time I saw a 4-bet that wasn't AAxx, I can't even do it myself because it's always so often that the 3-bettor holds AAxx.

Whale jammed and it was like $25 more. Flop cam AJ9 2t and I jammed the rest, he folded.

Yeah, I'm not really sure if he's capable of folding pairs preflop when I 4bet with <100bb. Obviously its the correct play if he thinks my 4b range is exactly AA.

Also yeah, I think he folds flops he completely whiffs that are dry like J52r

Medium length session in a below average game tonight. 2 tables of $1/2/5 going, 1 was full and playing huge and the other was nitty and playing shorter. I got sat at the nittish one and played it for a couple hours then got on the list for the other game. Was on the list for 2 hours until I busted in a super standard spot and called it a night. I played pretty well tonight.

few spots worth mentioning..

Hand 1:

Hero(~$450) opens $20 9875ssdd in co, fish calls in sb, fish calls in bb.

Flop ($65): AdTs5c

check, check, hero bets $45, fold, snap call

Turn ($155) 3s

check, hero ...

I think this is a pretty standard triple barrel with or without the equity we picked up on the turn. This fishes calling range is pretty wide on the flop, but so little of it can call me down. I think his flop calling range has lots of AJQ/AKQ/AKJ/JQK/TQJ/TKQ/A5 that may/may not call this turn and will fold almost all rivers.

hero bets $125, villain tank folds

Hand 2:

Hero($750) opens to $20 utg with AA48hhdd, fish calls in MP, TAG calls in sb, bad reg (covers) calls in straddle.

Flop ($80)

Qh7c5h

check, check, hero bets $60, call, fold, bad reg pots ~$240 without hesitation, hero...

So bad reg has a tight range in this spot. I expect with bare Q7 or 55 he would flat. Something like: QQ, 77, Q7:hh, Q5:hh, 5768:hh, Q768. Obviously my hand is too strong to fold. Shoving does nothing because I have no FE and I fold out all of the fishes worse draws, so I call planning to get it in on any non-Q non-7 turn.

Hero calls..

Turn (~$620)

Td

Villain puts hero allin for ~$450, hero calls. Villain shows Q7Jh9h

Run it twice, get scooped.

-$900 over 6 hours.

WP on last hand, shoving flop against his range is pretty pointless. First hand is more interesting, I probably triple also but I think checking back flop in the first place is slightly better unless you plan on tripling a very high % when you c-bet here.

Played more $1/2/5. Played well, lost monies. Made a few small mistakes. Most notably I messed up 3b sizing vs a shortstack in a squeeze spot. I didn't give him the option to 4b and ended up seeing a flop 3ways. with an SPR of ~1.5 and a dry side pot.


This hand was the second biggest I lost, was probably slightly bad;

hero opens AKJQss in co, track-suit asian ($600) 3bets to $50, hero...

I had been at the table for a few orbits and seen tracksuit asian 3bet a snuggish open with QQJ5ss. He also made another 3b that didn't get to showdown. Once he opened and I 3b squeezed the btn and he folded. With this info, I think its clear his range is wide(10%?)/includes AA/KK/QQ and rundowns.

hero calls $50, btn folds..

Flop ($105): Ad Qc 7d

track-suit asian bets $85, hero calls

Turn ($275) 9s

track-suit asian pots with ~$150 behind, hero .. ?

Wasn't sure what to do here. I think its a meh-jam, but I'll ptt a range quick to see. Might be a marginal fold.

Yeah, need ~38-39% to get it in +EV here. If I take the 3scenarios above and average it out, I have 36.71%. Meh, so its a fold. Burned a few dollars.

I suppose another factor about this scenario is perhaps the last range is the most accurate and he gives up with some of his not super nut hands on the turn. If thats the case this is definitely a fold.

In game he showed up with dry AA..

This is another hand I played:

fish limps co, fish limps btn, fish calls sb, Hero has KT4Q in bb and checks.

Flop($20) Ks Ts 5d

fish leads $20, I call, btn calls.

Turn ($80)

5c

fish checks, hero bets $50, btn folds, fish calls

River ($180)

2c

villain donks $115, hero folds.

Villain was a fish pre, playing fit-or-fold post. Gave me a sppech about how drawing to the second nuts is really dangerous after he played bottoms 2 pair+medium FD passively (c/c, c/c, ch/ch) against an aggro player.

Pretty sure I played this one well.


Also played the PLO8 $330 tournament. The field was super soft. I couldn't believe some of the donk stuff I was seeing in this tournament. Literally 2/6 players at the stating table could not read the low. 1 player per table was playing middle pairs preflop.

73 entries, top 8 played. I got the to final 9 and bubbled in a super standard spot (on my part) against a whale. Will post hands later.

-~$700 over 9 hours

In hand 1 I like a light 4bet in hand 1 against that wide of a 3betting range. The fact that it's CO vs BTN means his 3betting range will be at its widest which makes this even more of a 4bet. Fold if he 5bet ships obv. On the turn its an easy check/jam because of his wide 3betting range and the fact that you're at the top of your range on this board. Can also see value bets from him with A7/A9 on the turn thinking you're on the FD.

Hand 2 I think a fold on the flop is probably best with a passive fish leading into 3 players and you have 2 players left to act to worry about. Turn is a good bet, River is an easy fold.

daniel, hand 1 the tracksuit asian was in the sb. Also, I don't think he is positionally aware-- more just clicking buttons/gambooling.

The sample I had on him was super small.. so it isn't that reliable. It's more important to look at what his donk pot frequency is on the turn if he has a pair+draw. I think his range is more weighted to made hands (sets/2pairs+), making my equity in the 30% range. The more I think about the hand, the more I think it's a fold.



As far as the PLO8 tournament went.. There was one interesting hand.



For a little April recap... Got in 40.7k hands, won ~$2100. Played 96 hours live, won ~$3350.

Graph:



As far as goals go:

Goals for April:

[x] Don't go busto
[x] PLO100 shot
[] 45k hands (no.. but 96 hours live)
[] button vpip 36% (no.. goddamn my nittery)
[] 3bet 8%+ (/nit)

I'm quite happy with my play in April. Mental game is still fishy, but improving. I'm starting to build a shell to variance, too. Somehow through ~3years of grinding full-time I still struggle with swongs. BR is still in trouble.



May should be a really low expense month and will be high volume. I want to get some PLO/PLO8 MTTs in and sell a package for WSOP. Also, more live PLO(going back to mtl next weekend for $550 PLO 3 life tournament).

Goals:

[] 50k hands
[] 30 hours live
[] 100 PLO/PLO8 MTTs

I wanted to play a quick session this afternoon. Tables were so good it turned into a lonnggg session.

Quitting now because playoff hockey starting..

Good start to month.. PLO50 warmup:



Go sens go!

The more I think about the hand with the asian guy the more I think its a fold too, but for a different reason. The 2 hands that he 3bet with are pretty mediocre QQ and bad AA, a sign that he has the typical holdem convert leak of overvaluing QQ/KK/AA hands preflop. If that is his true 3betting range then that flop obviously crushes his range. If he was a more experienced PLO player then we can skew his range towards AAss, good QQ, good single suited or ds rundowns, double paired hands, ect, and thus will have enough draws on the turn to justify a shove.
