Down almost 7bi during my session. Broke about even during stream

Enjoyed the stream, sorry about the run bad looked like a brutal session :l

There was a hand you played i had a question on...

it was CUvsBU, CU raises to 2.5x you cc with AdTs, blinds fold
Flop = 7d2d5s
Villain bets 2/3 potish i can't rem sizing, and you raise 3x IP?

What does your raising range look like on this board (are you raising more then calling) vs. a bet from OOP CUvsBU, BU ccing range is narrow here right, so CU should be checking a lot OOP most of the time? I don't quite understand this raise/how ranges interact here

I think population is going to c-bet something like 60% there OOP as CO and massively overfold vs. a raise. Even when I'm called by hands like one pair and 88+ I have a ton of equity with my A and T and the Ad in my hand means I can comfortably bluff any diamond run outs. Also, the population is significantly under bluffing in this ip vs c-bet from pfr spot so the pfr is likely massively overfolding on a lot of turns/rivers too.

It was a substandard spot cause I usually just 3b everything btn vs co since my population never 4bets and plays 3bet spots terribly.

Brokenstars cold called!?!?!?!

Thanks for the response

So you play a raise/fold strategy for the most part IP? Like do you call hands like A7s or 99 here then?

Bruh he cold called QQ and check folded to a single bet on J94 like it was his job

Yeah I saw you mention that. But I was under the impression that cold calling in position was against his religion?

It was sb so oop, 250bb deep, vs an utg pot open. Cbet was pot into 2 players (bb also called pre) and it was snap pot.

It was a good cc and better x/f, i just like to needle.

Here is a pio sim of co open and a tight/reasonable btn cc range:

Sim constraints:



CO opening range 26.4% (RFI in CO @ 200z is 25% on my sample



BTN cc ~9% (CC% in 200z is probably a little higher than this but should be dece approx.)



Here is correct CO response OTF (100% check). This is due to the fact the btn has a condensed range with a lot of strong hands (77/55/22). The OOP wants to protect his checking range a lot here and try to get as many hands to showdown as possible, basically.



So, let us take a look at a nodelocked BTN response vs a CO 60% c-bet.

CO 60% c-bet below



BTN response vs CO 60% c-bet



CO response vs btn raise (lots of calling/raising); CO is defending some high card stuff here without flush draws like AK, AQ, AJ, AT and realistically is never raising this much.



Let's resolve for CO nodelocked to raise less and fold more....

I nodelocked CO to fold ~4% more and raise 10% less (which is realistic, we really aren't getting 3bet here much) and all of a sudden............

Again AdTx good since we retain decent equity vs a call, have good bluffing potential on a lot of runouts, and reduce 3bet freq from OOP player by holding Ad. Since OOP player here is c -betting way more than he should we can just raise anything we want basically imo.

I was referring to the co vs btn hand posted earlier.

But ye QQ is a testament to how well mas knows this site. In a vacuum it's probably not great since the villains are unknown and occasionally you'll get just some ******ed spazz, but I think it's fine to get bluffed occasionally here and save money vs monsters.

Board was like J97 which UTG has no business potting into bb/sb on either.

Less science more spidey sense please

Played a lot today and ended up breaking even after being up around 4bi at one point. Pretty annoying.

I work I think the next 9 days in a row, so I'll be pretty busy. GL to OP

The Pio stuff is appreciated. FWIW, Snowie usually raises the AdTx on that flop. CO really shouldn't be c-betting that board OOP (especially for a large size), but everyone is terrible obviously, so you can get away with all kinds of exploits vs people that c-bet too much.

Yeh. Np.

Do you play also on acr? If not, why?

I don't.

I think acr caters more towards regs that can get mass volume and they also don't offer a zoom format I don't think?

Presume my hourly is higher at ignition amd have played there for a while now.

Running very poorly so far this month. Game play also suboptimal too if I have to admit.

Decided to grind for 15 minutes after work and feel as though I was coolered for two stacks within 5 minutes. Never a great feeling. Will move down stakes to 50z for now (100z does not run).

I noticed in your recent steams you were cold calling a bit more and merging river less. Or whatever its called. When you have a sh*t value hand and yolo ob jam.

Anyways, I'll say it again, you play infinitley better when sober and talking through hands on stream. I know it seems boring but you still do unique things like flat/check fold queens on J9x and ob jam AJ on QJT so it all washes out.

Also, not a dig at any of your guest chatters (which do make the stream more enjoyable), but your first instincts in hands are always very good, and I cringe a bit when you deviate from them.

ccing and merging riv less = lower variance; don't mind ccing in a lot of spots. Just think there's a slight more edge in 3betting. Obv ccing in tons of spots is still +EV

wrt to first instincts you're right.

Regardless of how well I could have played over the last several sessions I don't think I'd be up this month. Definitely some mistakes though, but the run bad has been quite real lately.

Tomorrow I'll be on day 7 of 9 @ work (86hrs after tomorrow for the last 7 days worked) and have been requested to come in an additional 15 minutes early which on a 12 hour shift kind of just pisses me off. So absolutely sick of this job. It's such a toxic and terrible work environment I am super excited to start applying to jobs.

Yea i wasnt saying ccing was bad I just noticed it.

You have def been running bad, there were a few hands from 3 streams ago where I would have broken my keyboard.

Was going to ask b4, but seemed personal, do you have some sort of attachment to Iowa? (Besides obv answer of fam living there)

Move to LA/vegas play 5/10+

No attachment... but would prefer a more country/rural living as opposed to large city (coasts). Biggest reason I took this job was location to be with my gf while she went to grad school.

Ever thought of starting your own business like being an entrepreneur?
