rapidesh123, the legend is back
I play with a range cbet strat, the shove was for value. He isn't supposed to raise to his sizing and have folds anyway, so his raise is effectively a shove, which I wasn't folding against obv, so just put the rest of the money in. I was somewhat afraid because those small raises are nutted when fish makes those, but since villain was a reg I ignored his sizing and treated it as a shove, prefer to not play guessing games with people who are better than I am at playing those.
I think that there's merit to having a x range in that spot, but I haven't studied 4-bet pots, so that's the strat that I know how to use. If I'm not overdoing with my 4-bets it's fine, also if villain is overdefending vs my 4-bets then the range cbet is already an exploit vs him.

As for it being a value shove with AK. Well you pretty much got the ideal hand to be up against and it is 52/48 in your favor. I think that is more of a function of a flaw in the cbet range strategy though.
I think you played the other hands well!
Check out PIOvsPopulation Episode 4. Carroters talks about 4bet pot strategies a lot and it is well done. I think it is a good short cut if you don't want to spend hours going over 4bet strats.
You might be right - i'd have to do some solver work on this spot.
I do know that BB made a mistake by calling with A9cc. That is a clear fold to the 4bet. Then BB compounded the mistake by raising the flop when he should just be calling.
We would raise all our non Ace club draws well before our Axcc. We also need to some flush draws in our calling range so we would use Axcc.

Well there are some clear boards we don't want to cbet range on. What about J98tt? The 4bet caller will not only have more suited hands than us but also more sets.

In those rare spots with low SPR just try to stick it in with equity/value/protection while avoiding villain's clear imbalances (like people underbluffing on Axx boards in 4bp). Also know the spots where it's easy for you to underbluff and you're perceived to underbluff and add some bluffs in those spots, don't be afraid to overbluff in those spots, don't need to be super precise. And ofc avoid overbluffing in spots where you're perceived to overbluff, don't make it easy for your opponents and reward their spews.
In a lot of spots you can figure out a winning strat only by thinking a bit without pio study and it's actually not that hard to make an explo strat with common sense that won't lose much compared to pio and it might even overrealize if you take into account the correct variables. That's how I approach spots I haven't studied yet on pio.
Shrug, I've got some pretty decent (afaik) preflop ranges and no suited ace ever gets folded bvb vs a 4b. The 4b you did was slightly larger than assumed, but still. I don't know how badly to deviate vs a pool 4 betting less than optimal, but I highly doubt the ev of calling can be very bad.
A9s is obv a very strong hand vs monkeys, but vs people who use solver ranges it's not that good imo. If one is overdoing with 4-bets it will print. But it's losing massively vs population and suboptimal vs someone trying to copy a solver imo.
One thing I learned about 100z regs is that they are so good at guessing games but not very good at poker, so I do my best to play as close to a solver as I can preflop/otf, because these guys can pull the trigger with a 5-bet with any 2 cards if they think I'm overdoing. And I don't want to be in a situation in which they get rewarded by making bad plays.
Running well, playing well!
Some hands
H1: vs unknown shaping to be a nitfish, OTT I don't think he has any bluffs and I think it's likely that he isn't valuebetting worse, maybe the same. OTF it was so dry that he would need to be spazzing with random 0 equity hands with backdoors only. I prefer to be tighter than usual vs those guys. Good fold?

H6: vs massive whale, I like this, thought that he was either bluffing or valuebetting a flush+, checked my pt4 notes and he was limp-calling 42o and 3-betting a lot with high aggression stats post-flop. Also I think these guys will spazz out very often OTF and OTT. What do you guys think? Fold vs this guy? Maybe he bluffs smaller OTR and always uses that sizing with a flush+?

Like 89/TJ or something.
These lines are costing you a lot of money imo. They are far from GTO and you keep making them way too often. Do you ever value bet like this?
The most standard river call ever. But jam could be good too, I guess. (Do you often just call turn with TJ?)

Yeah, that line looks bluffy, but most passive players don't turn sdv into bluffs. The river K makes it easier gor OOP to trap a lot on that card too. Vs population I think his call is losing like crazy, vs me it's winning.
You are right, I dont jam for value like that anymore (used to), but vs whales that spazz with any2 vs the small sizing I'm testing this play. Not sure if it's good, I got owned pretty hard by doing this recently in one hand but I will keep testing that. Maybe do it only vs spazz monkeys
And yeah, otr it 's just a call vs a good reg, I won't have many valuebets OTR vs most people. But population underbluffs to oblivion with my line, if I think I can get away with it I will do it. Finland does that crap all day for years and these nits keep folding. I used to think it was bad but he made me view it as a good exploit.
In theory our combo should be bluffed like 5% of the time, the best x/r bluff combos are the best calling combos on most spots.
Ended up looking at the results, volume is so low, and on top of that internet is very bad today, so will just run some sims instead. I think that my plan to quit looking at results daily is helping my mental game, specially with the tighter BRM approach(I'm at $6.3k and still mixing 50z/100z). Also my more explo approach is doing really well, punishing these muppets really hard and I can "feel the money coming in" whenever I play vs someone.
Before I bought PIO I didn't feel like that at all, tbh I was always clueless and didn't know where my EV was coming from, was just clicking buttons trying to "stay balanced" instead of forcing some lines that could induce villains to make more mistakes/exploiting fish with really greedy lines.
But after I started with this more professional approach I can see that my volume went down, I feel like I lost a bit of that passion after I started treating poker like work and play to make money. That was the reason why I first quit poker, so I'm really afraid that I will lose the will to play. Obv poker is way more fun when you're punting stacks all day and not caring about much haha.
It's unbelievable how much PIO helped me, I used to be proud of myself as the "most unexploitable reg", while in fact, I was actually one of the most exploitable ones. Not talking about people snapping me off and beating me with overcalls, because my betting/raising ranges(at least OTR) were getting bluffed at a very close % to give my opponents a breakeven call. I was easily exploited because of how much I folded, overfolding is such a crime in gto poker, I was overfolding TP/midpairs and bluffcatchers all over the place. It's unbelievable that I managed to win given how much I overfolded vs everyone. I think 0 people out there made folds as crazy as I posted here in those times lol.

Before I bought PIO I didn't feel like that at all, tbh I was always clueless and didn't know where my EV was coming from, was just clicking buttons trying to "stay balanced" instead of forcing some lines that could induce villains to make more mistakes/exploiting fish with really greedy lines.
But after I started with this more professional approach I can see that my volume went down, I feel like I lost a bit of that passion after I started treating poker like work and play to make money. That was the reason why I first quit poker, so I'm really afraid that I will lose the will to play. Obv poker is way more fun when you're punting stacks all day and not caring about much haha.
It's unbelievable how much PIO helped me, I used to be proud of myself as the "most unexploitable reg", while in fact, I was actually one of the most exploitable ones. Not talking about people snapping me off and beating me with overcalls, because my betting/raising ranges(at least OTR) were getting bluffed at a very close % to give my opponents a breakeven call. I was easily exploited because of how much I folded, overfolding is such a crime in gto poker, I was overfolding TP/midpairs and bluffcatchers all over the place. It's unbelievable that I managed to win given how much I overfolded vs everyone. I think 0 people out there made folds as crazy as I posted here in those times lol.

I always was very open about my strat here, I think few people read the thread and even those who read aren't capable of using the info they get here to exploit me properly, most of them end up leveling themselves and playing weak strats. I've seen even regs I respect take lines that are absolutely 0% on pio trying to exploit me, now imagine the average 50z/100z reg.
Also I do my best to not deviate vs decent regs, I'm a dumb person when it comes to mind games, so I always expect villain to be smarter than I am, so I don't play very greedy strats. I like having them coming to the tables with a lot of plans in mind when they are confident they know my weaknesses when in fact, even if they had 100% info on all my HH they wouldn't be able to completely own my soul. My assumptions and simplifications are all based on theory, easy to apply and I only go a little bit harder on exploits vs them on mixed frequency stuff, which by itself gives me a cap on how much I can be exploited. Also I use blocker RNG and I think my blocker selection is very good.
Now vs fish I'm going explo pretty hard, if I think bluffing ATC is +EV I will do it no matter how spewy my line is, same with overcalling and overfolding. I think the key to have a good winrate is to go nuts vs fish and don't be greedy vs regs. If we manage to breakeven vs regs we're printing a lot already. In theory I should be trying more actively to exploit these weak regs, but I think my approach is better long-term because I will have a good plan vs good regs when I move up. There's a reason why so many people struggle when they move up and I think people get used to playing a very explo strat that is rewarded on lower stakes, but as soon as they move up the meta is the opposite and they start bleeding so much when their bull**** plays won't work anymore.
That redline is probably variance, getting lucky with my bluffs and runnouts recently. It's not easy having a positive redline when your avatar is from brazil lol.
Vs some guys AK can be a fold in these spots. I've folded QQ in a similar spot just last month.

I think with QQ is a call even in the worst case scenario, because we can stack AA/KK when we hit, also there's the extra money in the pot by the fish.
At that point I might as well have 22 + the fish will back shove sometimes.
I'm not saying that it was 100% an optimal fold. My point was that it's ok to take some weird lines sometimes if you have a good reason for it.
This, it might end being a small mistake to fold QQ in there, but shipping AK/JJ/TT might be a worse one. If you always ship without thinking it's way worse
Looked here, he was a 20/8 with 3% 3-bet and had called a 2-bet from the blinds with QQ, had 400 hands on him.
I've been trying to force some volume, was successful but ended up spewing a stack at 200z and made some big mistakes after I played close to 3k hands in that day. Meh, my brain turns into a potato after I play a lot, also 3k hands is like 7 hours of grind because I 2 table.
Volume is still low for the month despite the extra hands I played on the weekends, having a tough time sleeping recently and I'm not keeping the same routine as I used to. I think I'm burnt out a bit, my studies to pass the government job take so much energy off me, poker isn't a very relaxing game neither, so I think I need to at least sleep well and have more productive hours in my day.
Also my month is ending on day 26, will travel to São Carlos(where I studied at uni) to a friend's wedding, I hope to at least manage to get to 25k hands for the month until then.
I don't feel like playing today, so will just study pio for the rest of the day, from my experience it makes no sense to play when I'm not 100% focused on it, I misplay a lot of spots and end up with a very marginal winrate(if not losing), so I think it's more productive to study.

H11: I think I should fold pre vs this guy, but these nits sometimes tilt vs me specially in SB vs BB and even in the worst case scenario they still manage to misplay post-flop despite the low SPR lol. I was expecting him to trap me a lot OTF, but was surprised to see a trap OTT.

River #2: (200 BB, 2 players) J:diamond:
I've been trying to force some volume, was successful but ended up spewing a stack at 200z and made some big mistakes after I played close to 3k hands in that day. Meh, my brain turns into a potato after I play a lot, also 3k hands is like 7 hours of grind because I 2 table.
Volume is still low for the month despite the extra hands I played on the weekends, having a tough time sleeping recently and I'm not keeping the same routine as I used to. I think I'm burnt out a bit, my studies to pass the government job take so much energy off me, poker isn't a very relaxing game neither, so I think I need to at least sleep well and have more productive hours in my day.
Also my month is ending on day 26, will travel to São Carlos(where I studied at uni) to a friend's wedding, I hope to at least manage to get to 25k hands for the month until then.
I don't feel like playing today, so will just study pio for the rest of the day, from my experience it makes no sense to play when I'm not 100% focused on it, I misplay a lot of spots and end up with a very marginal winrate(if not losing), so I think it's more productive to study.
Some hands
H1: I used to fold this when I played 200z last year
