My situation

Hi guys !

My name is Malo, i’m 28. At the moment i’m living on a small island in france with my GF. Not so easy to find a LongTerm job right now so i’ve got some free time. Last year I started sky diving and i hope poker will help me to continue! Hope i’ll share some good time with you.

My poker story

Well, I started to play poker a few years ago at home with friends, drinks and chips. I liked the game and found a club in my town to play for free. I met there some good guys talking me about free 40€ on pokerstrategy. So I tried this way after the black friday and climbed to nl 50 playing first fullring then 6max on the french network. I cashed out everything to pay charges when I moved from France to USA for a job in 2013. When i came back to france in 2014 i did the same thing again, with a few bucks from NL 4 to NL 100. Then i played MTT during months and won a few thousands euros there. Found a job again with may hours in the week (no Gordon, i tried both US and french habbits at work and believe me, frenchies work hard too :-) ) so i stopped poker during this period. Now my contract ended so here we are !

Why I want to join CFP?

Well, i always love to play 6 max, but MTTs huge prizepools got me for some time. When i played 6max i always thought that some people were walking on my balls. I’ve been in many players groups where i improved a lot but i’ve never found a good structure to tell me what to do step by step regarding to my skills and leaks. So that’s why i’m here, be involded in a good (the best?) step by step process in order to walk on others’ balls instead of mine and be in the place where the money is.



Ready to succeed!

OK guys, here we are !

HOMEWORK



1. Villain’s range is 66+, AJ+. How many combinations of pairs does he have?

A pair is 6 combos so we have 9 pairs for a total of 9*6= 54 combos

We have 12 combos of offsuited hands and 4 of suited (total 16 combos for one hand). We have AJ/AQ/AK so a total of 16*3 = 48 combos

Is range is 48+54 = 102 combos

2. Villain’s range is any two cards ten and higher (TT+, JT+,QT+,KT+,AT+). How many combinations is that? Write them out.

TT/JJ/QQ/KK/AA is 6*5= 30 combos

JT/QJ/QK is (12+4)*3 = 48 combos

QT/KJ is (12+4)*2 = 32 combos

KT is 12 combos

AT/AJ/AQ/AK is (12+4)*4 = 64 combos

Villain’s range is 30+48+32+12+64 is a total of 186 combos

3. How many suited Ax combinations are there? Write them out.

A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 AT AJ AQ AK is 4*12 = 48 combos

4. The flop is AQ5. We have AK. How many combinations of sets are possible for villain (assuming he can have any hand)? Write them out.

Villain could have AA/QQ/55

1 ace one the board, one in our hand so there is one combo of AA. One Q and one 5 on the board so we have only have the combos of pairs, which is 6/2 = 3 combos of 55 and 3 of QQ

Total set is 3+3+1= 7 combos

5. The flop is AsQd5h. We have 6s5s. How many combinations of AQs can villain have? Write them out.

For a suited hand there are 4 combos but we have an ace of one color and a queen of the other color on the flop so villain can’t have 2 combos of AQs

Which means there are only 2 combos possible for him : AhQh and AcQc

6. The flop is AQ7r. We have 77. How many combinations of gutshots can villain have? Write them out.

A gutshot is KJ, KT or JT so : 12 of each are offsuited, 4 suited:

(12+4)*3= 48 combos

7. The flop is AQ7r. How many TP+ combinations are there? Write them out.

Top pair: A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A8 A9 AT AJ AK. An ace blocks 4 combos on 16 for each hand so 12*10= 120 combos

Two pairs: A7 AQ Q7, only 2 combos on 4 for the suited for each hand because of a rainbow board and 7 on 12 for the offsuited which is (7+2)*3 = 27 combos

Set: 77 QQ AA, 3 combos for each pair because we have a blocker on the flop so 3*3= 9 combos

Range is 120+27+9= 156 combos

8. How many combinations from question 7 do we beat with AT? Write them out.

We beat only top pair with a lower kicker so A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A8 A9. There were 120 combos BUT we have a blocker on this range so it is now limited to 8 combos by hand so:

8*7= 56 combos

9. Villain from question 2 (TT+, JT+,QT+,KT+,AT+) goes to the flop. The flop is As8s9c. Does he have more combinations of made hands (and 1P+), or draws (any FD, OESD, GS)?

Made hands: TT (6) JJ(6) QQ(6) KK(6) AA(3) and AT (12) AJ(12) AQ(12) AK(12) total is = 75 combos

OESD: JT 16 combos

GS: QT/QJ 32 combos

FD: JT QJ QK QT KT KJ: 3 are already in the straight draw list so we have only a total of 3 combos here

Draw Hands: 16+32+3 = 51 combos

Villain has more value hands!

10. Villain from question 9 goes all-in on the flop with all of his made hands and draws. The flop is $10, and he has $15. Can we profitably call him with TdTc?

Odds are: 10 / (10+10+15)= 28,57%

Our equity is 23,09% according to equilab

equity < Odds so we should fold

Hello guys !

Well, i’ve been through the courses till preflop ranges. So module 1 and 2 completed. I looked videos from the first 4 units of “tilt free today”.

Yesterday and today I worked on the equities and preflop ranges.

I found some mistakes there:

Basic poker Math courses: Top 10 postflop match ups: KT vs 89 on K67. Equity is false because of the Blocker KT has on the 89’s outs. Right equity is 71/29 on the flop, and 86/16 on a 2 turn.
Preflop ranges: BB vs MP: JJ is both in the cold calling and 3 betting range.
Preflop ranges: BB vs SB: 84s is both in the cold calling and 3 betting range.



So, as we have a lot of preflop charts, I decided to re-write everything with colors in a more condensed way: for example I don’t have 2 charts for BB vs MP cold call and 3bet but two differents colors on one chart. I will be easier for me to stick to the charts now. I will print this stuff this week end (don’t have any printer in my house), put it on the wall and start to griiind!!!

I also installed the free version of PT4, I imported my database, the HUD and quick filters

I finished to read the NOBS ebook and I’m currently writing my overall Game Plan.

I ran 2 times a session of Uhlvarequity, I did not register the first one. Results for the second is:

Average error: 4.528

Played today, won 102.94€ + 40€ rakeback

40€ rakeback? what site is that?

Bonne chance
