4) Fold. Threeway 88 is just no good. Utg probably has 99-JJ, AA.
Ty man!

H1 Think shoving river is best yeah, just put him on a 1p + fd ott so tried to get value from that
H2 Don't think my hand is doing that great against his flop 3b not sure though...
H3 Yeah calling flop seems best huh
H4 Yep folded but didn't feel totally good

Newsflash: You're never going to win anything from poker long term. Period. It's not there for you or anyone else to win money from. This is why virtually nobody plays it here in 2021. Get a job.
Why do some losing poker players assume that just because they can't win that nobody else can win? Plenty of people are long term winners and plenty of people still winning in 2021.

Why do you play poker? I mean if it sucks and you don't like it, then why do you play? Why post such negativity on a poker forum?

I never said that poker's popularity is the same now as it's always been, just that there are still long term winners and people winning in 2021.

I'm not sure what you're even asking here. What's the problem? You're the one saying there's a problem not me.

Now it's your turn. Why do you play poker? If it sucks and you don't like it, then why do you play? Why post such negativity on a poker forum?

So what made you want to play 2 days ago? If it sucks and you don't like it why did you play 2 days ago? Why do you have 50+ posts on a poker forum on an account created this month?

Really annoying day where every 3b bluff gets 4b, every 4b bluff gets jammed on or get a terrible flop and in general get only terrible boards postflop so that redline is going straight down. Feelsgoodman, only lost 2.5 bi though so all is fine. Really need a good night sleep for the first time in days and I'll go for 4k+ hands tomorrow

Decent day, also made a video of me playing while commentating. Did make a couple mistakes because it was hard for me to play and talk about the hands in the meantime, I described the mistakes in the description.

Ty man! I study the preflop ranges of GTOWizard free, go to solutions and select 50nl. Because at the 5nl the rake is higher remove the bottom hands from the opening and calling ranges, 3b/4b ranges should be similar I guess. Also don't flat call unless you're on the big blind until you're at like 50nl or higher

Also watch lots of youtube micro's videos of Weazel_1991, Nick Eastwood and BluffTheSpot. And post difficult hands in the micro-small stakes section of this forum

can you elaborate more about how do you study using gto wizard?

do you paste there the hand you think you don't played well in your last session, discover what you did wrong and then practice similar situations over and over again?

1) I think it's a call if you think villain will bluff both AcKx and AxKc
2) Fold pre or call turn
3) Looks ok. Obviously without spades would be ideal. Some Ax hands should fold.
4) River shove surprised me, but it does make sense. He has 88-JJ. QQ nicely blocks KQs too.
5) Nope never folding

I checked your video for a few minutes. I had trouble understanding you.

Breakevenish day with really low volume, did analyse my video with Nana for a couple hours and also talked some general strategy in the meantime, was really useful! Will play a couple more days of 16nl (to get 50k hands) before moving up to 25nl

Just use it for preflop ranges, but you can analyse 5 postflop hands every week or so I think

Ty man, think now h3 should just be a give up otr altough I still don't think a reg has AK there ofcourse
h4 learned that I shouldn't go for 3 streets there because he can definately have KXcc and KXss and 88-JJ probably won't call 3 streets

Yeah English isn't my primairy language so speaking through the hands and playing 3 tables really isn't optimal for my game and my speaking I guess haha

Maybe more call than fold. Usually fish just ship the nuts in on the river.
