of course folding river is best, he has little to no bluffs by the river and you are pretty much at the bottom of your range by then, no relevent blockers to make the call either except maybe blocking some 2 pairs combos but that's not enough
spots to call down vs whales are usually pretty clear, if draw bust they will always bluff it and they may even bluff hands they have no business bluffing along with it, when everything gets there you just lay it down man
Cool, thanks a lot, man! Will do that from now on!
I thought it might be good because a lot of regs called me down in those spots, so thought it might be a thing vs overbluff people, and since I'm a reg, I'm way more unlikely to overbluff than a whale, so thought that they called even lighter vs them.
Or it could be that those regs were tilted and hated to fold vs me.
Played average today, but ran pretty well, bankroll is probably at $3.5k.
Worst hand of the day
H1: vs whale, was just not bluffing turn because whales underfold, was very confused after he bet and just jammed, terrible play and it's lighting money on fire. What do you guys prefer? barrel, x/f or x/c?
H3: weird one, had a tough decision on other table and didn't think much on this one, good fold or meh? Villain was a reg that was massively overfolding flop and turn and had a very low raise cbet stat, could it be that he slowplayed something or he has always JQss? Vs such a strong range that he gets on OTR, should I expect him to turn some hands into bluffs or valuebet worse?
River:(27.02 BB, 2 players) A Hero bets 19.25 BB, MP raises to 92.4 BB, fold
MP wins 63.02 BB
H4: vs brazilian, bad fold? I thought that it would be better to at least block A7cc, meh, but Qs is somewhat a strong blocker if he is giving up turn with bdfd gutshots
Played poorly today, probably lost like e$500-$700, roll is probably at $2.8k-3k
Worst hands of the day
H1: villain almost never have me beat, he is freerolling lots of equity vs me too if I don't value-3-bet that. Terrible call OTT, my idea was that I would do that to keep his bluffs in, meh. When I have a bluff I always fire and I somehow play like a pussy when I have a clear valuebet
H2: hand looks std and wp, but the problem here was what I was thinking at a certain street in this hand lol. Will let you guys figure out this one, quite an easy puzzle haha vaaaaamo! Luuckly didn't do it.
River:(52.46 BB, 2 players) K BB checks, Hero checks
Spoiler:
BB shows 4 A (Flush, Ace High)
(Pre 13%, Flop 38%, Turn 27%) Hero mucks A A (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 87%, Flop 62%, Turn 73%) BB wins 49.96 BB
H3: terrible bluff by me, sure, it's a good hand to bluff the river in theory, but I would be surprised if people folded enough even on that terrible river for him. Villain didn't look like a good player too. Should quit making plays like that in those spots and just underbluff the crap out of those fish
Flop:(37.5 BB, 3 players) Q J J
UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets 9.26 BB, fold, MP raises to 26.3 BB, Hero raises to 92.26 BB and is all-in, MP calls 65.96 BB
Turn:(222.02 BB, 2 players) 2
River:(222.02 BB, 2 players) 3
Spoiler:
MP shows J T (Three of a Kind, Jacks)
(Pre 41%, Flop 96%, Turn 100%) Hero shows A K (One Pair, Jacks)
(Pre 59%, Flop 4%, Turn 0%) MP wins 219.52 BB
Now some interesting hands! Funny to see how many bad ones happened today lol, but played 2k hands!
H5: terrible fold by me in theory, villain was x/r all 2p and sets OTF, also I unblock his pair+ bdfd bluffs and block his value, vs a JQ value range this hand is a better call than AA/KK and Qx is a mandatory call imo. Nvm, just saw his WWSF and it's 41 over 1k hands, not a sick sample, also he is raising turns 3/14, so what do you guys think? Fold or call?
Hero shows K 9 (Three of a Kind, Kings)
(Pre 41%, Flop 98%, Turn 100%) MP mucks A Q (One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 60%, Flop 2%, Turn 0%) Hero wins 103.96 BB
H8: vs reg, should I just fold turn? Never jamming without a club, right? With QQ+ I should just jam turn, right? Or jam with club draws and x without clubs?
H12: vs unknown shaping to be a fish/whale, good fold OTR? I feel like if they wanna bluff they will keep bluffing turn, also can't see many bluffs that I could beat
H13: good jam OTT? I know that my hand should just x back, but if villain is always valuebetting KK+ and not protecting his x range in there, then could I just jam any AK and show a profit vs that strat? Have so much equity when called. I'm jamming QQ+ for value here too.
Br 3500 for 2 months not moving anywhere beats nl100.
If u beat nl100 u make 3500+ a month

If I can make 3bb/100 it' cool for me at 100z. I play on average 38k hands/ month, so would need 8-9bb/100 to make that.
Btw, figured out a sick leak of mine and realized why I couldn't beat 100z and why I was losing money to whales as well. If I managed to be a small winner with such a massive leak, it means I was doing a lot of **** that was really impressive to cover that leak of mine!
Nothing will stop me, boys, gotta thank finland22 and the unknown reg that played HU vs me that helped me realize that(as well as play money hands that were the spark that ignited this discovery).
I could be wrong like I've always been so many times, but I think this time it will go well
Will put some extra effort in studying the regs' games with most volume with the hands I've played there, will focus on the most exploitable ones(which are the ones with the highest winrates at that stake).
H3, why are you 3betting over 5x IP? You just owning someone who doesn't fold to 3bets, or is that your standard? Also his call down is atrocious, no way he's a winning reg lol
Same with H5. Has to be a fish or at best regfish. That turn jam hurts my heart

We're deep, I'm testing with a balanced range IP for that sizing. I've only recently started playing deep, so decided to go with that old school strat to go very big pre-flop just to see how it goes. I'm not sure if it's good in theory, but if I'm not overdoing it can't be that bad imo.
Also people are used to those normal sizings, so they could make a lot of mistakes vs big ones, they can't respond to those with the same strat as they would vs a 3x 3-bet.
And I'm pretty sure those 2 regs are winning, but my special power in poker is just too strong haha!

VAAAAAAAMOOOOOOO
Makes sense. I find people overfold to 3bets anyway so going big just rewards them for it, but I didn't see you're basically 200bb deep.

Yeah, with 100bb stacks I use my old 3-bet strat, with 2.8-3 IP, 4x from SB and 5x-6x bb vs utg or MP
I'm not using many sizing exploits preflop unless it's vs whales, even vs semifish I prefer using the same sizings, the things I change are the hands I 3-bet, vs overfolds I 3-bet more hands, but won't go overboard.
I'm not good at guessing, even vs fish, so I think it's better to keep a somewhat reasonable strat.

5-6x bb vs utg? What's the reasoning behind that? I've done very little study on preflop 3bet sizings, but my standard has always been to 3bet the same size from the BB and SB.
Is it because you can flat the BB? so if you're going to raise and re open the action you want to go even bigger. similar to how IP doesn't like cbetting small as often as OOP because you re open the action

People fold K2s in the CO?
I mean some definitely do, and I was mainly referring the the hh itself we had which wasn’t posted
got owned in this one pretty hard, lol, wp!
K2s is somewhat loose, should just open K7s+ in theory, but if BTN isn`t 3-betting much and SB isn`t a 3-bet monkey I go a little bit wider

With the option to call pre it's a good idea to go polarized BB vs UTG/MP, since we're OOP vs a tight RFI, hands that are part of our 3-bet value range, but on the thinner side like 77-TT(and some JJ) want to call more pre, as well as KTs, AQo and some AKo. So if we would choose a value sizing for our 3-betting range, we would prefer going bigger to get more value. So that`s the reason why I think it's a good idea to go bigger in these positions.
K2s is rubbish, its a waste of time opening in Co unless you want to be the typical try hard lagtard. Turn is a clear bet so naturally you x, and proceed to get totally owned on the river. Should have bet river large.
