Ben please put a blue line on the graphs to help us keep our spirit high in these dire times!

Late to the party but that discussion linked a while back with George on mental game is excellent. There's 2 or 3 real gems on how to approach poker towards the end of the talk. Great attitude and GL going forward (to you both).

Out tonight and back to grind sunday

glgl

bout ****ing time Ben. Happy to hear.

they balance this pot bet on low flop or its always op and fd?

His combo makes more sense as a x imo, pot otf makes sense, but fish does that crap too lol,so it cluld be a fish in there too

Why can’t it be balanced using overpairs and draws exclusively?

hmm I think it cant be properly balanced unless we have some folds when facing jam, and obv we're not folding either of those ever

Yeah, gotta have some KJcc/KQcc/QTcc/Axcc in there

you get a lot of direct fold equity from potting flop thus having backdoor equity isnt so relevent, you can pot with hands like KJss or w/e here and as long as you arent overdoing it its gonna be fine

potting with backdoor clubs allows u to jam on club turns. feels better than always checking turn with something like KJss. btn should still find a decent amount of folds on turn even if flop is folded heaps. btn prob cant even defend hearts to turn jam

well aware u cant jam turns with very low equity hands like KJss but you are going to be facing jams a fair bit when getting action with pot sized bet, and getting denied your equity with backdoor clubs everytime is pretty meh

yeah i guess that's true. i don't rly expect btn to jam much in this spot but i guess btn has to vs size? not rly sure tbh

i had a somewhat similar spot at 200z against some bad reg. although im sure SB's play with aces is much less of a mistake than what this guy did:



against size i felt like 88 wasn't even strong enough to jam and felt better about flatting.

erm ok pal

jamming is obv plus ev i just think flatting is better

also will stop derailing thread, sry bena
