The question is, is anybody stupid enough to only value bet with this sizing?

it's not a matter of being stupid, but having the balls to bluff with that sizing.
some people don't have, so they use a smaller sizing.

4x pot is so brutal, man.

    Sick bluff if you add AQ! Surprised you add that you thought he was a fish. Would you really try to bluff a fish like that?

    probably more likely to bluff fish in general for this many beebers, fish have the fear deep in their bones.

    Got a few pm's that i need to reply to, will get round to them asap!

            No hh of 2.8k pooter?

            Laughed at the fact you don`t know bencb and casually tagged him fish

            In the AA hand, is villains float with spr standard? I get that he has to defend a bunch vs that flopsizing but seems like he`s kinda ****ed anytime you choose to jam turns, like he turns 9s, can`t really have a donkjamming range and can`t really call off vs a jam or maybe he can idk.. It`s a spot where I often wonder to what extent we wanna float backdoors in villains spot

            GL as always, hope the next few giraffes go up as well

            <Villain

            I thought real time that I should float this like 25% of the time, sadly got wrecked by my clock RNG. Good chance that's still an over-defend though and its just one of those spots where we don't get close to MDF%.

            The bencb fish tag thing made me laugh too, guess Bena didn't follow the WCOOP $50k or whatever it was.

            Did anyone watch the whole 500z session he put on YouTube? He seemed to make some pretty questions plays in a few spots. Not trying to be unkind but is he actually a winning player at 500z? He is trying to sell coaching off the back of the idea that he is, so asking that question seems to me to be fair.
