100z is just 20x5z with less fish imo.

I was gonna suggest a prob bet for who gets better winrate, me at 5z or you at 100z, but you can barerly afford 1 buy in at 100nl with your bankroll so nvm

2018 and people still dont understand variance. Even a crusher could loser over 50k (and more) hands at 5z if the variance is bad. Same as whales running it up to 200z.

I can beat 100z with my new approach, I'm really confident with the new stuff I learned, I think I'll do way better vs whales/fish and beat them at a higher clip.

I watched you play for 3h and saw ur hh in your thread, you make way looser 3-bets than you should vs very tight ranges and your postflop play wasn't that great, from what I remember you didn't valuebet as thin as you should and didn't bluff much.

We'll see. I hope you do.

yeah this was like 6 months ago, a persons game can change a lot, look at linus he randomly woke up after breaking even for 500k hands and decided to be an end boss

anyway hopefully i run good



wanna fold pre rapid?

100z 100% has more fish that 5z it's not even close

Yeah, and you can 100% beat 100z

Played today, playing really well in the last days.

Some hands

H1: what do you guys do? I thought guy was a whale just spazzing with TP/whatever they have meh, should I just call?

Not kings, but AK/QQ I'm folding depending on the guy.

H1. Id flat and let him keep potting for protection/bluffing. If I did raise I would probably raise smaller like 24-25 so that He could jam lighter for protection or value and assume some degree of fold equity and domination. I would probably raise turn tho even if he continued to pot it because he might doublepot an overpair or set then check river scared. Raising this big on mono board a whale will make uncharacteristic hero folds and never play back at you imo. If you had any other flush id raise more happily to this sizing because their main bluff with Ad would continue with a call or spazz shove.

H3. Your play isn't even that horrible. Id raise bigger to decrease the ev of his floats gutters bdoors open-enders, punish the fact that he's likely overbluffing/ too merged for value (even vs your 1/4 sizing) because he's short on nutted combos and set up stacks for a river shove more comfortably. In my strategy where I 1/3 this hand maybe 40% and would 3bet it even more rarely for a slightly larger sizing, I would check fold turn. In your strat you most likely should check call.

His play is worse on all levels tho. Imagine if you had checkraised or bet turn for value he would've prolly shoved/called.

H1, I'm trapping here. Recreational players have a tendency to barrel down when they bet this big on the flop. I'd plan on check/calling turn and check/raising all-in on the river.

H2, I assume you did this as an exploit due to the small river sizing. I'm not a fan since this bluff needs to work fairly often and I don't think players are automatically capped in this spot.

H3, I wouldn't bet that small and probably would fold to the raise. Given that it is SB vs. BB I suppose it isn't that crazy to 3-bet the flop.

Tastyy I know your a fan of mine but nobody is interested in your dog sh*t 5nl hands here. Rapids are bad enough.

what a comedy show

keep it up tasty

??? hows your 50k hands this year gone?

Thanks for the feedback, yeah, gonna call next time, maybe the whale has air and wants to spazz out, so calling keep his bluffs in. But jamming turn looks good as you said, fish love betting for protection but dont go as thin otr.

About the A6s hand, I agree, villain is calling sooo wide and raising too, gonna use the tactics sowiet wings was using vs me against this guy lol. They looked very effective vs spazz monkeys like that

Cool to see one of the elite reads this haha! Thread is going off the rails in the crazy train lately lol.

Lol vaaaaamoooo

then why does no-one have more than 1bb/100 winrate?

Who said that? I know someone with 6bb there on a large sample and he doesn’t even use solvers or have pio

It's higher EV for what reason though? What is being accomplished that causes it to have higher EV? These are rhetorical questions btw.

I told you regs (once they get enough experience under their belts, anyway) are regs no matter what stakes you play. And lol at this, because you are one of the people who called me "bad" at the game. I'm far from being the best player in the world, but still much better than the vast, vast majority of people I play.

That said, while I'm not allowed to play on PS, I'm virtually certain 5NLz is still going to be very beatable there even taking into account the rake and better (in general) player pool of today.

no chance 5z regs are competent, theyre playing microstakes for a reason.

Good point, but on the other hand do you really believe that tastyyy is a "crusher"? What evidence is out there to support this? All I've seen from him is fake graphs and him busting every roll he has at the micro's or ******ed 2 buy-in shots at like 200NLz.

While 5z is beatable yes, it’s full of 2bb Russians Ukrainians and Belarusians, see hand above for example, I think this is a pretty easy fold but I didn’t check that he was Russian before I made my decision which was my fault

I think it’s pretty sad that I can tell by what country people are from if they are spewing or not, Russians at 5nl are missplaying for example the hand above but they’re not donating by any means

Although when I play vs China and Japan I know the call above is fine

On another topic of fold equity, I can’t get anybody to fold a hand here in the micros but I’m probably the only person in the pool who’s actually bluffing, considering any time I call down with top of my range villain just has nuts

Pathetic over bets where it goes x x overbet is always value too, pretty disgusting to have to fold top of my range all the time

Can’t wait to get to higher limits where I can push all these nits around at 100z
