I wish you luck, but your time would be best spent figuring out a way to get you to your goals. You have a lot of time. Figure it out.
My volume is very low, was 36k hands/month last year

Thanks, man! Gonna keep trying!

Do you even read what you write? I'm staring to just think this an elaborate troll. He doesn't have to be purely value driven here...he can have semibluffs/random airball bluffs.


Just lol at you calling other nits and having this heuristic about the pool...then again you call people huge nits and they 5bet jam 88/73o or whatever...maybe your reads aren't so reliable?
Are you discounting the Jx that he bets the flop or do you think he checks back all of those? From my experience these guys bet TP quite often, specially the combos I'm ahead of ott.

And my reads aren't 100%, nobody's reads are, sometimes nits tilt, but are you calling his triples because of one time you saw him go bananas while tilted?

Rapid, you couldn't have put in all this work and actually think of that as logical reasoning for checking there. I refuse to believe it. Stop trolling the trolls!

You're just wrong. These guys make many many mistakes by calling too much and you should be capitalizing on them.
You're considering him as a station passive guy, from what I remember he folded flop 55% and turn 50%+, so the more he folds, lower the difference between checking and betting.

Vs station passive regs I will make an effort to valuebet strong and check weak from now on, now vs those guys who are passive but won't call very light I will keep my usual strat. Btw, last year I was playing like you said, I started with that range checking thing vs everyone this year (and sometime last year but somehow quit doing that).

Hey maybe when literally everyone is saying you’re doing something wrong you should think about accepting that and fixing it.

Luckily for you. Fixing this leak is very easy. Any time you have tptk vs a passive fish you bet flop and turn and river.

Please dont explain again how the EV is negligible and ****. Already had Tgiggity make himself look like a moron trying to explain it.

Edit: posted this without seeing your previous post. Gj Rapidesh. I’m proud.

My point is when he has worse, he's calling down and when he has nothing he's always taking his equity while you get nothing from middle/bottom pair that folds to a turn bet when there are two overs against his pair. If you want an adjustment vs him bet too much instead of checking everything because you want value from the top of your range.

Rapi actually taking advice on board and incorporating it, it just can't be?! Props to you.

The worrying thing is that you aspire to be a NL200 reg very soon... while 75% of NL2 players would know the above.

so he bets the turn and you call

and nothing changes on the river

did you call the turn with a full house draw?

That fold was bad, how old was it? I was probably still a pussy at that time. Tbh I think folding turn is best, but if calling turn I should call the river, my line was by far the worst.

55% fold to cbet isn't particularly passive/high. It's pretty normal.

I'm not discounting the Jx he bets on the flop but I am accounting for him having KQo or something. Just call in these spots I think you'll be suprised. If we go back to thinking about "balance" why do we check? It's to protect us when we do bet.

Just a simple rule is if we beat any valuebets we can't fold. Sure maybe I didn't do the math of when we lose a big pot because he has the nuts but I know you just never fold when beating value.

I think the AK river fold is fine just because it doesn't compound your mistake of calling turn even though board hasn't changed.

given GTO folds roughly 40% to cbet I would say 55% is pretty high

It was from 11/18.

He obviously meant compared to the population.

population at 50z I assume? because at midstakes and higher there are very few people who are folding that much, and the people who are are always considered weaker players

That's because the average bet sizings on the flop are smaller at higher stakes.

At micros most players just c-bet 3/4 pot on every flop. This makes it ok to fold ~55%.
03-12-2019 , 08:05 AM
I think the 1/3 cbet is widely accepted even as low as 50z on stars is it not?

This, a lot of players cbet really big with a very tight range, can't do much but to fold

1/3 is widely accepted at 50z, even incentivized because of the low x/r frequencies, but also it is to fold the river, not 5-bet jam 88 140bb deep and call 5-bet jams with A3s but people still do that haha

Not if he 3-bets the flop/get it in with an overpair on Q26r mw 100bb deep or cold 4-bet-call 66 on utg dynamics.
Even whales today have access to reasonable pf ranges, but if they copy them blindly and have the same game postflop they're still exploitable for insane amounts of EV

Neither of those 2 instances seem whale-like to me, especially if there's history involved between the players.
