Of all flops to come when he plans on blind jamming the 73 he gets blessed with a double gutter. Lol poker gods

Plz explain

Sb vs btn isoing dead money so it's obv you are 3b a hella ton there. Sure you have a lot of Ax on Axx but you also have so many 78s 89s 79s 8Ts J9s KQo and so on that bricked and can't defend. You are using a cbet wide strategy so you will get raised more esp when v has position. Since V's raise will probably never get 3b he can actually realize all of his equity super cheap by checking back turn and seeing the river instead of flatting and giving up on a turn overbet. (Speaking in general terms since I know he jammed here and stacks are a bit shorter). Oh and also board coverage etc.

Hmmm raising this board for that purpose of xing back turn to realize equity cheaper never crossed my mind. Still doesn't really make sense to me. What I don't understand is what would any value hand gain by taking that line? Fold out bluffs on a relatively static board, gets money in that would have gone in anyway vs my value hands?

Well btn isnt raising just for that but more so properly responding to sb's sizing and for sure btn can raise AK+ for value there. I don't know the frequency but it depends on sb's range (none of that "pio says" stuff)

Not too many interesting hands for the last sesh of the year. Have 1

Kc5c6d?

He shouldn't have any Kx here in a MW pot and u guys are 200bb deep so that is even more unlikely, generally i don't think fish bluff in MW pots with multiple people left to act behind.

Only possible bluffs here are like the very top of his bluffing range like FD + SD combos depending on how wide he is playing just count them sort of matters coz if he does or does not play 42c etc. sort of important to know given how narrow his range is and that is the pivoting question you should be asking in regards to the majority of his range, sort of a tough spot i'd call and fold rivers to a big bet even if it's a blank.

IMO i think BB should be checking most of range here as he doesn't have as many Kx/nuts as you do here, but i still think most people will bet the strong FD + SD combos maybe not 6x with FD here. So that does effect his betting frequency.

Agree with a lot of this. I think there are certain players or even against unknowns you can just dump turn. I think a lot of ppl have a bluff freq. of close to 0% after x/r and top card pairs. Against this guy who has been kinda spewy I wasn't ready to fold yet. Plan was soul read blanks (probably fold?), fold on most draw completing rivers.

River was 2d, bdfd gets there. I have Ad. Gross spot if he jams but thankfully he checks.... I check and win vs 77

Lol wow villain is...special

2018 Goals

Online: 100k hands at 50nl

I haven't been playing much online so I want an achievable goal to work toward. I need to focus on playing less tables, shorter sessions, and spending more time studying post session. The point isn't to maximize immediate cheeseburger ev, it's to improve at poker. Zombie button clicking on 12 tables like I've been doing doesn't accomplish this. If I do all of these things right and still don't win money by the end then I'm probably blind to some major leaks. Should be interesting to see results.

I'm also thinking about streaming some sessions on twitch. It could beneficial to talk through hands and fun to read comments from the peanut gallery. Not sure about this yet.


Live: Same ol grind. 400 hours


...Lets do dis. Happy New Year

Dope, 400 hrs all 5/10 or just whatever? Keen to see how your online stuff goes, all the best.

GL man.

12-tables is a lot i'm assuming it's full-ring?

I'm in the same position as you way too many tables auto-piloting (when i'm still learning some spots) + general tilt.

I blame not being able to play zoom in the states :l

Majority will be 5/10. Maybe higher during wsop and other tourney series, 2/5 when I'm waiting or 5/10 isn't running. All hours count toward the goal. Thanks and GL with your move this year

TY. It was 6max. One thing goes wrong or I need to tank on one table then everything else goes off the rails. I'm thinking I'll play a max of 6 or 7 going forward. I also wish I could play a zoom type format mainly because I hate tiling the tables so damn small.

Who in their right mind is xr this board...let alone as a bluff?



UTG is 21/17 over 6k hands.
3% flop x/r (5/162)
62% win at showdown (115/187)

Puke. Prob a good fold tho

Im sure xr should be done at some non 0% vs my sizing but in practice I feel like it's only the nuts.

no way you can fold flop... call and re evaluate. vs 25% cbet villain should/can xr some smaller pp's, QJs etc. Value is JTs/QQ/AK(sometimes).

Agree but he should also have a much higher flop xr than 3% over a decent sample. His high wsd is also an indicator of straight forward play.

Is it likely that a player like this is going to decide to start bluffing in the most obvious spot my range is the strongest?

Unorthodox lines

1) 5/10/20 I open co 60 AKo, bb rec. player calls, straddle calls.
Straddle is a higher stakes plo reg/pro. Haven't played much with him.

Flop(185) A63hhc
bb x, straddle donks 175, I call, bb calls.

Alarm bells are going off as this seems pretty transparent to me with the rec player in the pot. At the same time I'm not sure superstar feel player mucking AK is a great idea.

Turn(710) Kd

bb x, straddle bets 525, I call, bb calls.

River(2285) To

bb leads for 1k with only a few hundred behind, straddle calls.


2) +1 opens 30, +2 unknown rec player calls hj, i 3b co 125 JJ, +1 folds, +2 calls. 2k eff.

Flop(290) Q73r
x, I cbet 75, call

Turn(440) 4o
+2 leads 350, I call.

River(1170) 2
+2 leads 475


Hours: 66/400

H1 seems super easy call and you beat a lot of worse hands (even vs 2 ppl). Cooler if no good

H2 seems like a cry fold

Board is slightly wrong in hand 2. I know there were 0 draws completed OTT. Should be Q72 4 3

Hand 1 is a snap and I dnc who he is leading flop is awful there.

Hand 2 standard turn fold vs non-identified btn clicker esp if jacks are offsuit to the queen but rly just fold anyway.

Both hands are well played up to the decision points.
