Rapidesh, the only piece of advice I'll ever give you in this thread - stop justifying yourself to mirage please

Nah, they fold a lot vs me. And Im not overbluffing, in most spots Im actually underbluffing(vs regs) vs fish I overbluff in some small spots that are effective vs them, also OTR by 2x potting them.

Quads, 44,A2s, thats a very narrow range, so vs an opponent that is decent I will have to be extra careful there OTR. Specially vs a range that has very few bluffs and I block most of them. I usually avoid bluffing in those spots, because its the easiest way to get owned imo. But villain had close to 0 hands folding turn and wasnt the best of regs, so went with that exploit. JTss is an ok turn raise, but bad river jam. Should bluff there withA5/A3 only and would probably still be overbluffing.

Yeah, mirage is super toxic, but I cant help it, love talking poker strat so much that I would discuss it with anyone willing to talk about it lol. I also really think that mirage loves reading a lot of threads here and that all of those threads are a big part of his life, he just cant post here without trolling because of some confidence/life tilt issues.

Today in poker regs are doing their best to hide info in order to not give free info for other people. I do the opposite: I open myself and show here even some weaknessess of mine here because the only thing I wanna do is to learn and get better. There are some bad posters that come here to curse/troll me, but there are also some sick guys that come here to discuss strat, like xenoblade, even bbsick and martimC came here sometime ago to give some advice.

In order to get the good stuff, got to take some bad stuff too. The problem of mirage isnt the quality of strat advice he gives, its because he isnt very polite.

cant claim you are underbluffing when you play q5s that way tbh

think if you ever bluff river, a small'ish sizing should be sufficient unblocking both of the missed fd's too. pbb only use a large sizing with relevant blockers

I would love to see the guys face after he called river and saw Q5dd looool. Too much vamo in that HH. If he was only calling with FHs in there my bluff would be printing haha.


Vaaaaamo

Rapid I at least give you credit for taking your beatings like a man, unlike gazzy who runs to mods for protection. Typical weak reg.

Not over bluffing? You punted off 6 stacks in the last few posts which is from a pretty small sample I assume. Imagine how many over a whole month. At least try and bluff with some equity, your drawing to nothing in most of them.

Mirage your seethe is amazing. Such a salty kid.

you couldn't be more wrong busto. not salty at all.

Clogging up every thread you can by proclaiming that people can't beat the games when in actual fact you can't beat the game is the sheer definition of salty.

Busto, just some friendly advice. If your getting stacked, you shouldn't pretend your a baller who can beat anything. lul. I have never needed to be stacked and never will.

don't make me bully you again mirage

mirage can't beat the game?


He is a sick crusher, AHAHAHAHAHAH. but let's give credit to the man, on theory and trash talk he is a topreg, one of the best imo. just one of those guys that live other dreams, I would love to know how many poker hands he plays in a week, maybe 0. He spends all his time in 2+2 trolling and being salty to everyone

He must have lot a friends He is that kind of guy that must be super funny at a party LOL

Btw guys, completely destroyed and super tilted after the last sessions, lol. Ended up looking at the graph again, jesus, I'm soooo tilted. Luckly didn't tilt off any stack today, but clearly played suboptimal and was quite stationy on some small spots, meh.

gg month. Sitting at 7k roll, if I get to 5k I'll move down to 100z. Would hate to do that, I'm learning a lot at 200z, basically getting free coaching from very good regs that sometimes jump in the pool.



Won't comment on hands because I'm super tired, sorry, guys, will just post them

hand 8???????

Few criticisms:

h1: Fold vs little over half pot especially with no 8s. Even with 8s, fairly marginal and probably a fine fold. Turn is 100% a fold.

h2: wouldn't have a river ob in this spot

h3: looks fine

h4: As a general strat I really recommend not cc out of SB and playing 3b or fold. As played, river raise definitely good vs sizing but v easy fold vs 3b. never a bluff

h5: Would use a bigger sizing with this texture, can mix in some c/r as well. River is kinda sigh depending on villain, would prob sigh call as well

h6: I wouldn't 3b on flop ever when we block villain's continuing range so heavily. as played think the turn size is solid.

h7: fine

h8: worst one of the group. You're not even writing your thoughts but just based on how the hand is played there is a conflicting logic between preflop/postflop streets.

h9: Not using 1/3rd flop sizing here, most likely 1/2 pot or slightly bigger.


As you move up, you will without a doubt hit some speed bumps but it looks like you're putting in the work in, so gl gl

So you are tilted when you lose AND when you win??

Did you think I was trolling when I told you to move down to 50z before you lost your ass on 200z? Free coaching? Judging from your graph its cost you $4k so far, and considering your still not smart enough to move, down, it will cost a lot more. lulz.

As for the hands.

H2. Terrible.

H3. Flat pre is bad, calling river awful.

H5. You still blindly use that garbage 1/3 sizing on any texture and regardless of multi way. lol.

H6. dat flop 3bet, awful.

H8. Hard to even comprehend how ******ed this was. Its so bad it has to be misclick? Pre flop is terrible, unless your looking for ways to be stacked. Then the only explanation for the flop fold is to troll us.

Move down now.


EViiizWasteD don't be upset I havent visited your mediocre thread yet. My time is precious. Maybe after rapid goes busto.

Xeno, you couldn't bully a teddy bear.

i wouldn't 3bet either because villain has 0 equity with his bluffs, but how many Tx you think villain has raising this flop and why? thanks.

you're an easier target than a teddy bear mirage

also your analysis of hand 3 tells us you're closer to a fish than a reg, move down to 25nl before u bust at 50nl

oops. I was actually referring to the AQ hand.

too much ego...

Btw what happened in H8? Super confusing.

H4: I guess pre is okay, it can't be bad with fish in BB and river is fold as played, what would he bluff with there?

H6: Don't like the 3b otf, there really is no reason to raise, you want him to catch up. It worked out this time but more often than not you're gona fold those hands out otf.

H9: I get why you sized so small otf but I still pref to go larger, but again it can't be bad imo. Could also xjam otf.

Anyway gl with the comeback.

Hey bbsick, thx for the suggestions.
On h1 I didnt know it was a fold, the thing is that there are a lot of regfish at 200z that ate still betting OTF with their AK because they dont know what to do. His preflop range was tight though, 9%..ithought the board was good for 88 to call some. Should I raise flop for protection? Like a 2.5x raise? It makes the hand way easier to play, specially since I dont know wtf are these people doing. Villain cbets 82% otf in 3bp and 5/7 ott

Orojanivu plays a very weird explo strat in those spots, he floats people super light otf/ott IP and stab a lot when checked to. I think he defends 80% otf and 80% ott. Obv he could be owned vs triple barrels, as well as with some induces otr, but population seems to be super straightforward otr.

Yeah, with AQ its a clear fold, was so tilted and confused, such a spewy call, meh

About AJ hand, villain had a high 3-bet and very higj f3b(80%) a high f4b too. So with all the dead money in there, thought my play was super +ev preflop. OTF came the sickest board for my range, he had all slowplays preflop at a high frequency and he bet super big, imo its gg: QQ+ almost always. Since he folded a lot preflop, thought he wouldnt have as many bluffs, specially for that sizing. His AK would almost always be jams preflop rather than calls and I dont think he would call SCs/suited broadways too, leaving his range overpair-heavy.

Quite an ambitious read on my part, but a lot of people play like that, his flop sizing indicates I was right about my read quite often too. He wasnt a decent reg obv

Btw, what tilted me the most in the last sessions werent the fact I was losing that much, but that every x/r Ive made as a bluff was getting floats, when I had value peoplefolded, when Ive made an explo sizing people would show up with hands that would have called a big sizing. Meh. Its so annoying. Had to make so many folds too

Mirage, I still have 10 bi to burn at 200z lol. Still a lot of room for the comeback. Tbh even though Ive ran hot at the start of 200z, overall ot seems Im not running as good. Also most of my volume happens on the toughest days of the week(since 50z, in the last 400k hands). So its very hard for me to be a losing/breakeven reg. Still think Im not that sick of a winner, probably between 1-3bb/100. If I played mostly on good days, maybe a 5bb winner?

Will see wtf Ill do, probably play more today/tomorrow
