Thanks man, appreciate the feedback!

I think the AA river xc can be good/bad depending on villain, not sure how 'better' he is or how much his tendencies have changed since I last played w him, but think his game is moving in a direction towards this being a fine xc for me. However, I don't agree that him calling twice caps his range, I mean this is a pretty easy calldown/call twice bet river w nutted parts of his range, raising turn wouldn't be good imo.

Yeah 85o not thrilled about it either, I ended up folding and think it's fine as we obv have better hands that can bet/call this river.

May month turned out to be a disappointing one, played everything from pretty solid to terrible (again ), I somehow won 67% of sessions played but still ended down $$, however bonuses took the month into the green with like +200 or so.



Plan is to try and play over 50 hrs again in June, but with the weather nowadays even that low amount will be a challenge! We'll see what happens. Also, I played some NL16z yesterday cus just felt like clicking some buttons and getting some hands in vs a smaller playerpool, but will mainly play NL50z again.

I can find a fold with the A4 on the river. It's the fact he's continuing to bet on the turn multiway that concerns me (obv not folding there though). He's not shaping up to tbe the type of player who's barrelling draws in this spot

Yeah folding A4 on river is prob best here vs that guy altho it's a small sample, but looks like the std 30/5 recreational. Should we be raising flop some times or just trying to get it multiway and bink a flush?

I don't see the need to raise when we have the ace but I think it's a more interesting question where we only have the flush draw. It's a spot I don't think I play well enough to comment on with any certainty. I tend to play passively with draws in multiway pots telling myself I'm getting priced in to bink but I'm sure that isn't optimal in some spots.

Had a couple busy days lately but got 7k hands this month so far, it's hard to get in long sessions in this crazy weather! Will hopefully play some more hands in the coming days!




97) idk about this, the guy was folding 69% to 3bets over big sample, but had very aggro postflop numbers. Also, stats may be skewed since it's a while since I played 50zoom 6max on a regular basis so peoples game have prob evolved a fair bit, might be wise for me to change PT4 HUD to last 6 months or whatever to start kinda fresh

100) vs guy who timebank 3b BTN, when we get this flop I think xc xr jamming is fine, don't really want to xr flop and get it in vs a nutted range, and I think this board will get 2barreled a decent bit so should have good fold equity?

I'm not sure why you would XC XR this board? We haven't got too many nutted hands OTF, except for 88 and KJs, but I doubt this is a board many people are going to bet just one street. So when we blank the turn like we did and he double barrels he isn't probably folding vs a jam often. So I guess we probably can raise/GII like we (probably) would do with 88 and KJs too.

Curious about other opinions.

I think it's a fine line to take, check/fold or check/call turn isn't an option imo so when we get there by xc'ing flop I think xr jamming turn is best. I think check/raise/calling a jam on the flop is a bit optimistic cus we only get it in vs his nutted hands/folds out his bluffs that would barrel this board, which we get another bet out of. As you say we doubt many regs would just bet one street on this board, so that increases our turn fold equity. However he could also check back turn some and we bluff river, or we hit turn and he triples off bluffs/worse value depending on the runout, so we have many ways of winning the hand/make him do mistakes. It's not necessarily a good balanced gameplan, but don't really think we should care much about that playing in this big playerpool with lots of exploitative plays.

I think the T9s is a must-raise on the flop. It's pretty much the best hand to balance your value-raises with, as it has virtually no SDV, and you have a lot of fold equity at that point. Waiting till the turn isn't as good imo, because villain will check back fairly often, and his barreling range shouldn't be folding to a check-jam quite so often.

Yeah I guess that makes some sense, thanks Arty!

Hadn't played for a couple of days before tonight cus I bought a 4k monitor, so there was a bit of stuff to do, re-configuring my PT4/StarsHelper stuff and general setup of the tables/lobby/etc, thank god for Placemint software

Got in a bit over 3 hrs session tonight and think I played fairly well, lost 2 BI more than EV but that's fine.

111) river decision vs recreational? He seemed like the passive type, xc this river has some merits against some of the whales in the pool tho, but without a sample on the guy I think just jamming is better.

qq definitely shove x/c seems like the worst option out of the three you'd have to put him on like 78hh float or turning something like 45 into a bluff.

gl

Sup D, looks fine overall.
108 - Folding is really f*, but turn is a pretty bad card (assuming he can raise AQ). Folding river seems the best option, a 'reg' would prob never bluffjam this river.
I'm not gonna say something about HU hands, so GG

Enjoy your holiday man!

Yeah I prefer to shove as well, he had only opened 4/9 BTNs and limped one, so he was prob not one of those HU whales we can xc river against. Would be interesting if river was a T, might actually xf but then again it's harder for him to have Tx if there's two on board, so not sure what I'd do.

Thanks!

Yeah agreed, should be pretty obvious we have Ax by the river and altho he is repping extremely thin not sure if ppl ever bluff this spot. Think his pre call is bad, especially with three 10% 3bet regs behind.

Cheers! You got any vacation plans for the summer?

Have you tried Regular/Turbo HUSNG? The effective rake is WAYYY lower (a few BB/100) than 100BB Cash.

Only played ~100 games or something a long time ago when Stars ran a promotion for SNGs. Don't really think I'd enjoy it tbh, I much prefer 100bb+ stacks, altho rake is crazy at HU zoom.

Played only 3 hrs today, but think game quality was pretty good. Made +240 in 1,5k hands.

Sup guys, I've been back home from vacation for 10 days now so have gotten around to playing some hands again. I started out w 10k hands of 16z 6max cus I felt quite rusty after those 3 weeks, plus I had been gathering some thoughts about my gameplan that I wanted to test out first. Gotta say 16z looks like a very soft limit from the sessions I played, it's filled with recreationals.

But yeah, back to 50z now and hopefully some nice results going forward!

Month so far:



Had to make some pretty nasty river folds at 16z cus of stats/population tendencies, I'd appreciate thoughts on these two:


118) vs 1-tabling recreational, I think this is 77 or a straight pretty often? Problem is if he jams KT/QT otr, but given we block that I think we prob sigh-fold this one.

Played/ran great in one short session today at 50z, getting more happy about my gameplan again and I play much more relaxed, feels good.


120) SB 1-tabler, BTN reg. Turn should prob be a raise when recreational 2brls but flatting can't be too bad when there is also the fact that reg is behind to act ott. It gets a bit weird when SB checks river, BTN reg is 'always' folding worse so don't really see any value vs him. They have 84bb/94bb behind. It feels kinda gross checking riv, as we have the best hand a decent amount on that runout, but yeah. Thoughts on this one?

Good to see you're back. Good luck and see you at the tables.

About the hand: weird one, but def. raising turn vs donking recr on this board. Wouldn't be too worried about the reg. He probably raises his better hands on this particular flop.

Thanks mate, gl!

Nice heater last couple of days, but think I'm playing much better as well, prob needed the break.

^Yeah that would be my std line vs most, but on an overcard like this we can mix it up a bit w some other lines, I'd prob not do it if flop had a FD fwiw. It's not a well balanced plan so I'd only do it vs recs, but think it's good vs the right kind of guys.
