Grats on the $10k+ month!!!! I'm very happy for you but I also ***** hate you and want to tie you up by your ankles and drag you behind my car at 5 mph cuz I jelly.

IK it's a post. Still seems very wide. Q for theory side of things, if you're isoing this wide, in theory do you RFI a wider or narrower range here?

It is very wide, yeah, but it's also somewhat exploitative. I open the CO right around 30% to begin with which is pretty boarder-line.

Theory Q, you should definitely increase your RFI imo the more dead money there is. If there was $1,000,000 dead money we would just shove our $100 stack with everything right? That's an extreme, and obviously there are other considerations to make (having to fold to 3bets for example and the cost of opening too wide as a function of that). But, I'd say it's pretty clear with more dead money in the pot we have more incentive to raise and just take it down. People should be defending BB/other positions wider as well because they can get a % of that dead money.

Exploitatively in the past people squeezed a ton like when CO open BTN flat called -- even today this is getting exploited in smaller stakes, so that's kind of similar also.

That being said.... There are a couple other things to state.

#1 post is likely from a weak player (and it was, he was horrible and I took all his money)

#2 people suck at adjusting, so it's less likely the players behind notice my wider-than-normal opening and exploit me

#3 people just don't 3-bet even close to enough as it is.

So, yeah, it's very wide, but it's a strong exploitative adjustment and if I'd hazard a guess I'm making considerable gains in this spot with most hands.

Good post. 50% is a terrible standard ISO % with 4 players left to act, but if you think it will work given population and player reads you should certainly go for it.

Yeah, I feel like 50% is also too wide given we have pretty low steal success when we do this (i.e. we get called almost always by at least the poster or 3b/CC/Sq by someone else). And then we go postflop with K6o. But if table's on the tighter side, like BTN+blinds are pretty nitty, it's probably pretty good ye.

Good post.

k6o is def not plus ev

Guess I'm a fish on a heater.

Haha! This should become the new "Die in a grease fire" imo.

Such serious angst over such a small pot.

As he was typing all the obscenities he was probably saying out loud, "nice hand".

I'm pretty confident it's a +EV iso, but until I get a bigger database I won't be able to prove it.

At the very least, if players are bad enough any two cards become profitable -- you'd at least agree with that right? At the absolute extremes every hand is +EV

Reminder that I'll be streaming in about 13 hours from this post!

I'd like to chime in that I think the K6o is borderline but it's profitability really depends on the table.

Have you noticed playing 200/400 your iso's getting 3bet more etc.? Any game flow changes since starting to move up

I don't think a game has ever existed where atc is profitable.. Like even the nut worst poker player probably has an edge over you if you're playing ATC. I'd only see it being profitable if they were deliberately trying to lose.

Button opens 55%, but folds to 3bet 75% of the time. 3betting ATC is profitable in this situation and a lot of players up to even 100NL have these leaks. Additionally if this player limp calls and then folds 60% to cbet, you're printing

Haven't played much hands to make a statement on that. The regs are a little better I guess.

Will be starting stream soon!

lol, this is an example of why the k6o hand is +EV

wtf does this have to do with K6o? All I see is a video of Blackrain showing a cheeseburger stake cooler straight over straight.

Yeah pretty terrible example imo. KQo is not K6o.

Give me napkins and I'll play them as cards.

if you think calling a 10x overshove with a lower straight in a 1-to-straight board is a cooler, then you're nuts lol

and bad players are bad while playing with 2 cent chips or 1k chips, in the worst case scenario, the more you get involved with the fish, more emotional they become and donate stacks faster.

The obvious difference is that KQ can actually make dominating straights whereas K6 can't?

Damn turned on the stream and saw you get coolered on the river flush vs flush.

Unlucky

Any hand can make a straight/2-pair/trips






Sometimes you don't even need 2-pair, 8 high is strong enough for a valuebet lol

wasn't a great spot once he shipped, but yh

5 hours grind

-$270 or so.

Few coolers and not much value, so very happy with result!
