#1: Nice call down. Seems you had a read and you had good blockers.
#2: Like the call pre. I'm thinking that maybe we could bet otr, but hard to get call by worse in that spot. Maybe even
turn the hand into a bluff since we have more QX in our hand?
#3. Seems like FPS.
but get it. Would probably barrel though since most villains won't bet without an 8 there and you
should have bluffs in your range that want's to continue bluffing.
#4. Why not raise river? Your high up in you range. If villains has it, so be it.
#5. Raise flop. Bet > Shove. Easy peasy. AP BET BIG OTR. It's not like you would bluff with that size right?
#6. Villain should have the other sets and 2 pairs in his range, but they probably wouldn't use that size ott. Think
a better line would be to X and let villain bluff? Think the shove is fine though.
#7. Never folding, but I'm more inclined to rip it pre here since there's a lot of dead money already we're OOP and we
don't block villains 4bets bluff with AXs. For me when I check on the flop, I'm inducing even though that flop and turn
hits villains range a lot, there's still a possibility that villain is showing worse.
#8. Again never folding. UTG most be a nit, BTN most be a nit and SB must be a nit for me to fold KK here. Did you have
any read on them? I think in my database the Cold4B is around 1,8%. That's like AA-JJ or AA-QQ+AKs and you have good
equity vs both of them. Sure most of my databse is lower stakes, but still.

I feel like Im making some mistakes playing nl 16. The field just underbluff so much that you actually just have to throw that gto thing in garbage. Play 100% exploitave, fold more rivers, fold to mini raises turn and basically just keep spoting the fish until they give you the money

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A

Hero raises to 3 BB, MP calls 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold
Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) T 2 7
Hero bets 2.38 BB, MP raises to 14.31 BB, Hero calls 11.94 BB
Turn: (36.13 BB, 2 players) 2
Hero checks, MP bets 34.5 BB, Hero calls 34.5 BB
River: (105.13 BB, 2 players) 8
Hero checks, MP bets 100.38 BB, Hero calls 100.38 BB
of course I played the hand bad, just a clear fold on the river. But the thing Im talking about is just straight up mucking the hand on the turn. It sounds kinda stupid since vilain could have some value hands that we beat but at the same time he is just gonna have the full house and we are calling dead so more often. Sometimes I just know Im beat and hit he call button, thats someting that I need to stop doing. even if I have the best bluff catcher posible blocking most of their value hands those guys usuaally have it when they bet river. (some regs do bluff and I guess against those we can call more. but for the most part mucking river will be profitable against the field)

I once read, in these situations we sometimes have to remove our poker ego (regarding the player pool and the tendencies). It’s something I’m trying to practice.
I feel like this hand was close though. Maybe not really something to stress in regards to your long term win rate.

#8 It is for sure debatable, will check some database to see how often I am getting stacked against AA in spots like that.
7# I try to mix between shuving pre and flatting.since he is raising CO I preferred to call. People in those limits are folding QQ, for example, in a large frequency to 5bet shuvs, so when I call and the board runs clean I can stack them more often.
On the flop I am also checking most of the time, and once the turn is a K and he shuvs, I don't see many bluffs and also dont see many value bets that I beat. Having two aces I block most of the AKs and AQs and I even have the A of spades blocking the fd. Again, the field under bluffs very much so I thought that it would be ok to fold in that spot.
