very good play vs air especially if air = undercards, which very well might be teh case

benas play is complettyt fine, the 87 guy is the one who ****ed up

I dont understand the xr with 76 personally. 87 raise seems random button clicking but i recently started playing deepstack and that in mtts (no rake)

Is 3b'ing with 66 btn vs utg then flatting a 4b ~100BB effective a standard play?

Some of these hands make you go hmmm. It seems the mentality of the 67s vs 87s hand is everywhere, even at my meager stake. They has a pair and think you're fos and just go with it. Makes me think just playing straight forward vs such players is the most +EV strategy against them.

GL, sir!

Both villains are playing their hand as an equity denial/protection line. There are times when you flop 2nd pair but x/r'ing is higher ev then x/calling, mostly bc of equity realization.

I can't speak to bena's flatting range mp vs. btn but I'd imagine his AQs are a >0% 4bet, removing some of those 3 combos post. Likewise, alot of his Qx post flop, especially the heart combos, want to play as check calls.

So you see when bena takes a x/r line, btn has like the nut best blocker/value combo (I guess A7hh would be nut best bc he also blocks an AQs combo and bc bdnfd, not sure).

I think btn would prefer 87dd over a hand like QJdd tho. Bena is repping 55/77/combo draws and perhaps a few Qx and a few hands like what he actually had (2nd pair+ bd draw). So by blocking 77 he narrows bena to essentially exactly 55 as value and perhaps a few Qx.

Now btn's flop 3bet is interesting, at first I raised an eyebrow but again I think its pretty good, especially with diamonds/clubs. I think if he had 87hh he'd want to flat a bit more (more good turns) and play as a pure bluff catch, not sure. With his exact hand though he chose to 3b, mostly for the same reasons bena check raised, as a value/protection type thing.

In a really dumb downed way of saying what both players are doing:

"Hmmm, I think my hand might be good? But calling down sucks and every turn and river sucks. Yolo"

I believe these types of lines originate from pio, although Tom Dwan and David Benefield (as well as many others) did this x/r 2nd pair yolo like it was their job (over 10 years ago )


(side thought, does pio x/r high kicker or low kicker combos for value/protection? Like would it want to x/r QJ or AQ here more?)

^^ true, but, how can V call it off? He's behind Bena's entire shoving range except for the one combo he happened to show up with there.

Don`t know why everyone has to complicate stuff like this, he obviously put him on 76 and acted accordingly

Hope to see you at a livestop Bena, but looking like I might be too busto GL on the grizzle, get `em back!

it is the age of playing bottom pair like top set

the age of stop being a ****in nit

both players found the 0% freq line, ****ed by the rng once again

LOL this is funny as ****

Much like chess, over the years poker has undergone a number of evolutions.

To mirror, we are now in this stage:

it's pretty pricey @ £26 per day, but i'm absolutely loving it. Convenient, super healthy and ensures i hit calorie count for the day. Also motivates me hard for the gym

haha, i guess it might look kinda stupid, and it probably isn't as standard as people are making it out to be. These kinda hands don't happen all the time.

haha

wow, bang bang

What limits do you play now? I'm curious cus i actually remember having a similar response when watching high stakes poker back in the day, and thiking, well if you just sit there and fold then durr will blast off 1.5million with 6 high look how well that strat worked out for the likes on lindgren and brunson

I think my play is low freq, and prob ok. I think villains play is really not the best but i could be convinced otherwise.

bet you LOVE it

scrub

I'm not sure which hand you're referring to with the 66 flatting 4b? I don't think it's 'standard' but probably not non-standard either.

Yeah, these kinda plays get filtered down from high stakes, and given everyone is becoming more and more familiar with how solvers play, there is a load of these weird/awfully played hands.

lmao, so much this

I'll be there lad, keep in touch as the various stops come around!

hahaha. tony G was so ahead of his time.

this "mate" of yours must've been so unbelieveably tilted by the end of it, I can almost hear the poor ****er's screams from here

Just want to say, very impressive thread. It's not often you somebody killing it both on and off the table.

Any thoughts on hitting some live tourneys?

Congrats on that 2017 yearly graph bro, very nice results.

I've not posted in here for a while cos I've been busy spending my time buying the fcukin dip on alts on Binance with my Soccer DFS profits. Been reading some of the Crypto chat in here, I started off mainly buying BTC, ETH and LTC but I'm balls deep in alts now put money into quite a lot of them.
