you are a top reg in talking sh**!
while you are here trolling rapidesh is playing some poker and showign results! can we see your not fake graph?

Got very sick right after my small vacation from poker, meh, maybe will play again today. My brother and some friends came to town, they're on vacation from their universities. So I'll also play less because I have to go out with them, will probably be like that until next month. Still sitting at 10k hands for the month(didn't play since the last update with the graph).

But I don't think it was like that because of my winning tilt, I was legit super sick, didn't even study law lol! Was just watching movies all day haha. It's so annoying to put low volume, variance is so high, sometime ago I was really mad because I was getting super unlucky and couldn't grow my bankroll(was 33 BI below EV on january). Now that I'm winning I'm afraid that I'm just getting lucky lol. So without a decent sample size to prove it I'm always lacking confidence.

Also there was some lack of discipline at the start of the month, was sleeping late and wasn't saving enough time for poker, will have to work on that. I think that will be one of the biggest problems if I decide to go pro one day, I'm such a lazy person. I'm in love with poker, that's the reason why I keep thinking about hands all day and play even tired after a tough day of studies, but once it fades out, I don't know how I'll be able to study/put volume. Even while enjoying the game so much I end up not playing enough. For a part-timer I've put some decent volume though, played 36k hands/month on average since september.

I've also started reading again some old school pokerbooks, like exploiting regulars and let there be range, will read those while in my smoke-breaks(much more productive than reading BBV or 6betme's thread lol). Strat is usually bad in there, but there are some clever stuff I've found out in there and some cool spots as well that gave me ideas and some stuff to think about!

So I was thinking about one specific spot, it's in how should we deal with overbets OTT and which strats work best vs that. After thinking for a while, in a normal SPR spot, it's very hard for us to develop a raising range OTT, mostly because if we don't just raise-jam, we are spending a lot of money and giving villain sick odds to call, so he will be able to defend a lot of his range vs that.

So I thought about donking some rivers, it's a way cheaper solution because the min-raise OTT is restrictive, when you min-raise a 1.5x pot, you can only do it to 3x, right? So it's the same thing as a 37,5% donk bet OTR. By donking river we can choose a sizing between 20%-33%. Also by looking at which rivers are better for donking, we can donk in the exact ones that we like, if we raise, we will still have to see a river and a lot of them could be pretty bad.

This is the spot I've made some work on(with pokerstove LOL vaaaamo!)

Board is Jh3c6d2d X river
BTN vs BB, BB cc pre-flop, range cbet OTF by BTN, BB calls, turn BTN overbets for 1.5x and BB calls.

I've made the ranges for those plays with what I've thought that was reasonable, mostly of what I would be calling vs a very strong player that is capable of putting enough pressure in those spots with enough bluffs.

These are the rivers that I've tested on, most bricks should play like 8s in there.



Red color indicates the rivers that we should seriously think about developing a donking range, while yellow indicates those that I'm not really sure. It looks like it's ok to have some donks on some diamonds and specially Jd, but I think the strat would be so tough in there and it's usually a very weird spot, so I expect that it's hard to apply in real time.

Now on offsuit 3x and 8x(basically any brick), it seems to be a good approach to donk for a small sizing with our busted draws and SDV in order to put pressure on villain's check backs and get a cheaper price vs villain's valuebets.

On Jx and 6x it seems to be good to have a donk-overbetting range mostly for value, because a lot of villain's range will check back(mostly on Jx, on 6x I expect people to underestimate that card a lot, when they shouldn't). The most important factor in deciding if 6x is actually a scary card is to see if the 6x in the board has the same suit of the flush draw, if it has, it's way safer, but if it isn't, it's quite dangerous because all FDs with a 6 are calling turn.

Will work more on that later, donking river is something I really want to learn how to do, it's very interesting and I think it has a lot of value both on gto poker and explo too!

As usual my brain exploded about half way through that and I had to stop, but I'll assume you have invented another brilliant strategy which means we can expect some more good lolz in the future. Looking forward to it.

I'm genuinely flattered. Thanks.

Lol, yeah, Im curious to see mirages graph. Maybe its an eternal downswing? Or breakeven since forever?

I would hapily analyze his database to look for fun hands, he would get a free database analysis too

In

It seems you got better since the last time I've played against you! haha! Vegas taught you a lot! vamoooooo!

Played today and got owned by 1.3k, couldn't keep my results hidden lol. Session was insanely annoying, people hero calling me a lot, coolers, soooo many stupid spots and I've misplayed some too.

Some hands

H1: vs stationy reg, explo underbluff the river looks good vs him, but if I'm not bluffing this, then I'm not bluffing at all. So annoying to see that.

H2: vs unknown shaping to be a fish, OTF he folds a lot, but OTT I got so much extra equity, thought he would still have some PPs that would fold in there, as well as some weak Ax. Good spot to bluff or just give up?

H3: vs fish looking to be super passive, my play is beyond insane, tbh his line is heavily underbluffed, but if I keep making plays like this it's gg for me. It's so easy to get lost by playing like that. Meh, just jam turn, right? Or is there any merit to call and fold river? Should I consider folding turn with that equity? He needed to be bluffing 14% OTR

H4: vs very tight regfish, I thought a lot about just cold calling pre-flop, but with the cold caller I had to get that dead money. I knew he had AA/KK in his calling range, reason why I thought jamming with AK was decent, had also 10 outs vs JJ/QQ. I need him to fold at least some 99-TT for this to be good, right? Good play or bad?

H5: vs Gazzyb! He went for the vaaaaamoo! haha. I don't mind the flop check, but it's easier to play with range cbet. OTT it's better to check imo, OTR it's a very good play to jam in there, really sick move and super +EV, few hands in my range can defend vs that, population underbluffs in that spot and he realized his SDV wasn't that good.

H6: vs king of nits, I think I misplayed OTF, should just call and get as much money in from other players. He has a set in there probably 100% of the time by donking into that many people. Jamming is worse than folding, as weird as it sounds(if his range is always sets). The good thing of getting more players in is that my equity is quite the same, so every $ in there is very good for me.

H2 squeeze bigger, and dont cbet that flop with KxQc most likely
H3 check call turn and check decide river
H8 don't stab turn with this combo, or if u do make it an overbet, most likely just check/fold

how big should I do?


yeah, checking turn seems the way to go, I saw it in a PIO video somewhere but always forget to check there, meh.

Why is turn bad? I thought it was decent because of low SDV and good blocker for when a spade comes

thanks a lot for the help, man!
vaaaaamooo!!

Fun times are back. Lets see if you have improved since the last time.

H1. flopped dead, on a board that smacks villains range, so its obviously a simple XF, so naturally you bluff off your stack in a terrible spot as usual. Not a good start.

H2. Once he calls flop, XF turn, he so heavily Ax, so naturally you bluff off another stack. Looks like you still haven't learnt the art of knowing when to give up and how plus ev xf can be.

H3. XC turn, and river call off villain dependent.

H4. Cbet then give up, your not getting any folds on that board. Turn jam awful. I most probably would just xf flop, and only barrel with Ad.

H5. Gii pre flop. Gazzy Busto is one of the few players in the pool who can out whale you, so your lucky hes back in town. Should slow down your road to busto a little. Its no co incidence the first stack you won so far is from him. lul.

H6. Fine.

H7. Fine.

H8. Another simple give up where you bluffed your stack off.

Verdict. 3/10.

Move down to 50z before you go broke. Stop trying to be a hero every fken pot. I have never seen peter, punt off a single stack like that when I have watched him stream. Look up to guys like that not spewtards.

WAIT A MINUTE

Why are we playing 2NL?

It's 200nl.

To the top, alwaysfolding! Vaaaaaaamo.
How did you miss that post on bbv? Haha

Back in for the shots and mirage salt

He is right though you need to x/f more

Maybe because I dont post the hands I x/f?

Well you do actually haha, but of course I’m only basing that on hands you’ve posted

I post the sickest folds of the universe because I find them interesting lol. Hands where I juat cbet give up or fold are so boring lol. But Ive posted some very small spots too, but its because they were very tough and probably huge for the winrate

I'm sure you do xf but you need to xf more. half those hands are punts with no equity just trying to get villians to fold 'something'
If you are bluffing the A2s hand on that board then you are basically bluffing 100% of your range there basically.

A2ss and A4ss are premium bluffs on that board, sure that there will be other pretty good ones like 67ss, if I don't bluff those, then what am I bluffing?
With my A5hh I'm giving up OTR, because I block a lot of villain's folding range.

btw, I think you will like this one lol

I like the river jam though, but OTT it's very bad.

this is all based on villain folding his Qx correctly. If hes never folding them your burning money. I will let you work out how often anyone in that pool is folding TP vs you in 3bet pots. lul.

I'm sure villain loved the river jam more. It seems you no longer like money.

Been awhile since I bothered to check this thread. No play money analysis? Disappointed.

you guys went bananas and people thought I was lost in the woods lol.
I ended up not finishing all the spots, but will go back to analyzing play money hands in the future! vaaaaaaaaaaamooo!

what are this guy stats for you to make this play with Q5?

he was marked as "overfold river" lol

Played today, got owned again, so tough =(

And thats your justification for trying to get someone to fold trips? lul. Have you noticed you have a bad habit of bluffing your money away? Ever considered that your over bluffing? Ever considered every reg in the pool has you marked as a whale and not folding anything decent?

What are you trying to rep with the JTs?
