Idk why so many people are quoting that ******ed bluff lol.

And posting bluffs that get calls aren't fun, got lots of those haha.

Btw, I will keep looking at my results, my roll isn't big enough so I can just ignore results, specially when I'm mixing 200z, also I think it won't help my mental game much, lost a lot in one day and felt alright.

to be honest, i have done the all in uncalled bluff from time to time (every good player does from time to time). and we all spew chips too.

keep up the good work!

#LetsKeepDoingThis

Roll is at $5.2k, getting destroyed this month, made some mistakes but not huge punts, so annoying. I'm -2k this month so far.

Some hands

H1: I was really cool about this one, but after I saw villain was from brazil after I jammed I got afraid, not gonna lie haha

h1 only open vs underdefend. with river play im just surpised u found enough brain cells to install pokerstars software in the first place

h2 standard

h3 what did u misclick? pre? flop? turn? should probably work on not misclicking every street

h4 raise turn he never has anything once he sizes like this

gl on bouncing back

H1: was vs an underdefend, otr for that sizing I think most passive semi-fish will have 0 flushes and fold even straights.

H3: pre is fine, I shouldn't have much of a calling range there, but with bad players behind or if RFI is bad, I think those PPs/Axs overrealize like crazy. Otf I know you always go big, I don't like giving away the strength of my hand mw by potting into 4 people, I wanna bet small overpairs and draws too, in theory sizings mw should be smaller anyways, so it's fine. Ott it's a very easy fold,villain was quite passive and I don't think he raises that turn with draws for that sizing, maybe he has some 2p, but I'm not sure if he valuebets those.

Very easy fold with bottom set in there imo.


H4: I agree, gotta jam turn, I have the nuts after he bets 50%. Making a lot of mistakes vs fish recently, meh.

Roll still at $5.2k, moved down to 50z only to regain some confidence to play better at 100z during the weekend. My quality of play is way worse, making lots of mistakes and missing a lot of opportunities to make good plays.

Some hands

H1: almost folded turn, but meh, they're so full of ****, insane OTR

Can’t really understand why you go from folding AKo to a 3bet to flatting A5o bvb and calling down a bad bluffcacther with no info?

its a pretty ****in good bluffcatcher

This

If villain is polarized to QK+ for value, my combo isn't much worse than most AK. If he is valuebetting flushes+, it's a better call than all AK.

Villain was a 18/12 with 4% 3-bet and he made 4x IP. AK is a flip or slightly better than a flip vs most hands in holdem, it only does well when we dominate villain's Ax and Kx. Since the guy has few of those it's just a fold, specially when those guys don't go for 3 streets with AQ and we won't win a big pot when we hit TP and they have JJ/QQ.

Vs that range we will only have a big pot when we hit if we're chopping or losing vs AA/KK/2p+/sets. And we're paying a high price pre to get into that scenario. We can't 4-bet because we can't 4-bet- call even if he ships all his 3-bet range. We can't 4-bet-fold neither because of the same reason, so our only option vs that guy is to fold vs his 3-bet and it's not even close.

It looks bad, but there's nothing we can do when we face a 3-bet vs that guy. But our range makes EV in the times he won't 3-bet us, it's like if there were one less player at the table, so we win more big blinds, see more flops, freeroll more equity. If we defend in there we will give him back some of the EV he is missing.

i would say the only fd BB might check turn are the one with shodown value, ence the 5d

also meh idk i wouldnt consider a bdfd blocker this important here considering villan sizing , they dont exactly look polarizing, wouldnt be surprised to be shown KT by a random lol

BTW im a massive idiot and tought A5o was a 3bet pot bvb so i cant see how i can have a clue on anything as i cant even reada HH lol

i like this i just tend to not give HUD stats that much of a weight if not for a lot of hands, expecially for preflop stats where its easy to just have 1k hands of a guy running garbage and 3beting 4% while he plays 11% 3bet

what i imply is folding AKo pre for reads can be easily a massive mistake

I play vs that guy since 2017 on 50z and he plays exactly the same since I first saw him lol. And 50z is the stake I played the most in those 2 years.

And folding AK vs a 4x 3-bet OOP can't be that big of a mistake, it will be a problem if villain is 3-betting any2, which will never be the case given how fast his 3-bet stat will converge to 8-15% if he is doing that.

Remind me next session I want to look at the ev of betting small vs checking back A5 there, i do a lot of checking back sdv in these spots bc they are more comfortable for me. As played, meh I don’t see fish 3 street bluffing that often so I just fold river (even tho that river is obv the one That would make me want to call)

Yeah H5 I just fold turn or river

H1 I fold that or a J river and call every single other river. I don’t rly like a turn jam. I also bet bigger on flop

Roll is at $4.7k

Running like ****, so annoying. Dropping down to 50z for the rest of the month to regain confidence, It's not a big deal in terms of BI, only 20 bi downer, but 6 of those are at 200z and 14 at 100z, losing lots of flips and getting unlucky on non all-in spots. Also making mistakes.

Still haven't got my HH from stars, so asked for my lifetime HHs, maybe it's more convenient for them to just send me all HH than to filter by date. I think I'm on a $2.5k downswing atm, so annoying to lose at higher stakes.

Some hands

H1: vs reg that was always my nemesis since the beginning of time, lol. He owned me even in FR days lol. Now I learned how to call at least. Is this any good? I think my blockers are good. OTT it's ambitious for me to bet wide for small when his x back range is protected, so it's bad by me vs him(obv couldn't know that).

If the Ah would be blocked by the board I think it would be a good spot to underbluff though, can't find many folding hands by him OTR after calling the overbet OTT.

H1: Flop is often stabbed in position when they bluff = not enough bluff raises on turn to call imo. River fold seems clear since you probably have plenty 8's to call with + it's hard for him to be bluffing enough.

H5: 'His play is so bad'... You're floating QJo against it? Your range is smashing this flop obviously so it's not necessary to float so wide. Also nobody but massive whales reraise bluff AK8r. You don't need to exploit him. He exploits himself by bloating pots where he can't have the nuts and where he calls of too lightly

H1: if he is bluffing with all his 8x otf he has none after he x back

H2: vs his sizing, what other unpaired hands do you recommend calling then? If I'm folding all my gutshots, I'm folding 80% of my range vs his raise given I'm range cbetting

H1: He evidently has a good chunk of A8o combos + maybe K8, 84 type stuff. Some people even check 86 otf.

H2: if you want to play GTO vs the raise otf (which I wouldn't), I would prefer using suited combos like 97s, T9s and better + probably work in reraises on the flop.
But I don't know if this is correct.

tell me why 97s/T9s are better calls than QJ/QT/TJ

I would probably raise otf, but maybe calling and rr turn often is fine too.
Using T9s and so has not immediately more equity, but if we have to fire a turn barrel, it has the potential to turn better equity.

I'm not saying you can't use QJ type hands, but I would prefer them being suited and using these type of hands instead of the offsuited ones. (again I don't know if this is optimal, I just prefer this way of building my range)

But the strongest point imo is the fact that you face a raise on AK8r, which is underbluffed as a raise otf and when raised, it's likely a mediocre player with an ace, making it a fold with QJ for me.

Quit looking at my roll while I'm back to 50z, I'm very well rolled for it so I don't have to check my roll to see if I'm rolled or not. Had internet problems today and ended up folding KK pre vs a 3-bet because of a disconnect lol. I still played a bit more and then couldn't play 100 hands without disconnecting, so annoying.

I wasn't in the mood to play, but after some hands I was really into it and enjoying grinding, it seems that at least my passion for the game isn't over. Will keep doing my best, I hope I can get back to 100z/200z and be a winner in there.

Some hands

H1: experimenting some different sizings in these positions, villain's call was so bad, he was a reg

H2: Interesting river spot, I think that most of the time the optimal sizing for my range in those mw spots with different stack sizings should almost always be rounded down to the shortest stack, but in this specific scenario(with a fish in the pot and facing 2 calls OTR) I think it's GTO to just go for a jam sizing so we get value from the fish and force the reg to fold some chops. Also with AJ we can valuebet the fish and make AQ fold too.

H3: I shipped this one after tanking a bit to not give many tells, it's obv std on this texture, but if the board were JT2 or T92, then I actually think that this is a fold given how much villain overcalls JJ/TT/99 in that spot and then underbluffs later/won't have that many hands to call us off that are worse. It looks results oriented, but I think we don't have another way to play this on this texture(maybe overcalling to get action off the fish)

All of the hands were misplayed imo.

H1: Go for stacks obviously.

H2: Just bet half pot otr. Reg won't bluff raise. He has you beat often, trying to get him off a split doesn't seem optimal.

H3: Call or fold flop imo. When you jam, you only get called by a higher set.

H4: That turn min donk and insta min Raise line from fish always beats TPTK. You know that...

H1: agree
H2: I lose only to few 2p,I like the jam

H3: yeah, call could be better, but not because of the reg calling better only, but by getting more vs the fish imo

H4: after thinking a bit, I agree, how did you know he snap minraised? Haha. I was afraid of him overvaluing KJ/JQ/JT, but it's unlikely, also these guys just ship their draws more often than clicking them.

They always do

Played soooooo bad today =(((
I tilted in today's session, made lots of plays I wouldn't make normally

H1: snap fold OTF, I leveled myself into calling because he had a (1/2) x/r(and obv blockers) lol. I was so tilted, jfc

H3: Pre is loose, but it's +EV vs those guys, OTF he reps nothing, so I think he will have almost always bluffs or pairs that will always fold. I was obviously tilted when did this play lol.
