Hand 2 os against nookie? Lol

Im from Brazil top and I play nl25z and nl50z (got to nl25 after downswing + badplays). Send me mp If you want to discuss hands

btw, got super sick, won't leave the bed for a while, so no poker =(



yes

you can discuss here

gl getting over the downswing!

vamoooooooo

Woke up a lot better, still sick, but managed to play some

Some hands

H1: pre-flop is quite optimistic, but with that much money in the pot, I expect to get a ton of folds from a big squeeze. Also initial raiser is quite nitty, but he folds a ton to 3-bets. OTF is std imo, people respect us a ton in those boards, OTT I just gave up, guy called with a ton of people to act after him, so he is likely to have a strong draw or a K. OTR it was an easy jam for me, basically the best blockers in the universe lol.

Also I don't think villain is checking behind enough with his Kx to punish me for overbluffing there.

H2: vs unknown. In these mw pots I think we have a ton of incentive to turn hands into bluffs, calling OTF is quite bad imo, even though it's +EV on the spot, 2 people will realize a ton of equity get semibluff card potential, so I think the decision OTF is between raise and folding. Villain is quite capped at TPWK OTT and draws, so went for the jam. Couldn't think of many hands that could call me. Good move?

Do you think people call the turn a ton with hands like Q9? My biggest fear in those spots is vs slowplays, but blocking the 8 we do a good job of avoiding them

H3: villain was 4-betting quite tight, but I got a decent price with the best hand in the deck vs AA/KK, he was marked as "reg that hate to fold", so I expect these guys to bluff more vs me, good call OTT? What about pre-flop? Should I call this vs a very tight range? Like AK+ QQ+ + some bluffs? I prefer having 67s here calling pre than AQo vs that range, what do you think it's better, 67s or AQo vs that range? At what point AQ starts doing better?

Ok I'm really starting to think we are being trolled now. You really can't be this ******ed even if you brazilian.

why?
96s is quite bad pre-flop, but in a vacuum it's ok imo. OTR it's the easiest jam in the world vs a check back from a straightforward player

69s was played okay-ish postflop, probably checking more than c-betting on flop 3 way though, 78o is spew, 67s is fine, AJs looks like a fold flop but could possibly be fine with a good read

fancy play syndrom much rapidesh

oaky'ish? bombing complete air 4 way on a board that hits their range is oaky'ish? lolz.

What's with the wide sqz?

I wouldn't call 30% pot "bombing" lol

It's something I'm testing, doing it wider than optimal vs specific players that overfold to 3-bets.

My reasoning is that our FE when squeezing depends mostly on the RFI fold to 3-bet, if he folds a lot, our squeeze will likely be successful, if he calls a lot, then it's likely that he will call and everyone else will go along.

RFI obviously didn't jam TT or AQ pre, which is one of the reasons why I increased my squeezing frequency in that spot.

Usually I stick to squeezing as a bluff only with SCs and suited broadways, depending on the RFI I don't even have a bluffing range there

mirage thinks in big blinds, not % of the pot

If you're desperate to sq in these spots, at least make sure one of the vpip'd players is the SB so you're sure of some dead money. As played you're vs 3 strong ranges (2 very strong) who are all IP. This prob gets through 30% of the time at best, not to mention you don't even see a flop another ~30%, too. Also hands like 43 are a lot better given that they play worse OOP in SRP's and have greater unblocking effects; just an allround better hands for these spots.

Some new hands

H5: vs fish that loves to min-raise

H6: going thin OTR, my reasoning was that x/f the river was quite exploitable and very bad with this specific combo, If I had checked, it would have been a x/f, right? Vs player that probably underbluffs. Vs good players, should I be jamming or check-calling here?

don't sqz 87o

It was post-flop. I wouldn't have jammed if the RFI had called the flop, since he could have tons of sets and overpairs which fold way less than TPWK. I think it was an ok play there, but the problem of making moves like that is that the line between those moves and monkey tilt is very thin. Basically I'm making a move that could be slightly +EV, but risking going on tilt and making some massive -EV moves.

My redline changes a ton(just in case you guys haven't realised by looking at my graph). Will try to avoid making those moves!

Thx, man, really cool insight on the SB, will take that more into account when squeezing. And yeah, I was doing it with 43s, 53s probably.


Btw, tons of very cool hands today lol, I'm posting more than playing lol!

H8: vs unknown, I tanked until the last second OTR, My reasoning for calling is that these guys don't valuebet sets/2-pairs OTR, I blocked 75 and didn't block his bluffs. Is this ok? They also don't raise A5 OTF.

H9: flop is super exploitable, but some villains aren't balancing well their checking range OTF, they bet with the goods and check with their bad hands, also villain was opening quite wide. OTR is it ok? I think it's quite bad that I don't have blockers and people don't bluff a ton with that sizing. But I thought villain would probably check-raise the flop with his FDs(or bet himself), making it very hard for him to have flushes OTR. He is a reg that looked like nitty, but out of nowhere he started 3-betting me super light(like 66 BB vs CO), 3-bet-jam A4s.

87o fold pre,
dont sqz 96s

ok, teach!
the reason for not calling pre with 87o is that rake is super high in the stakes I play?

Or is it bad vs a 3x even in a low raked environment??

your flop bet is not even super exploitable with J9o, I really don't understand how you view poker, the river call is worse than the flop bet

it's exploitable because I'm probably betting all range there imo. I have basically no equity there but 2 overcards to the midpair and some backdoor straight draws, if I'm betting this OTF I'm probably betting all my range, no?

That's why I said it's exploitable, if villain starts range-checking OOP in most flops(which is the right thing to do), I'll get owned by making moves like that

low rake pry still a fold vs 3x

sb vs bb is a situation where the OOP player is betting a lot still, so your statement that he should be range checking is incorrect.

Betting flop can be ok since population pry folds to much vs 1, 2, and 3 barrels once x as PFR, but BB should check behind pretty freq as well.

The IP player has a lot of advantage by being able to x behind and realize additional equity, so xing flop with J9 would be fine.

obv if you bet 100% of the time when checked to it's exploitable but it wasn't clear at all, just because you bet J9o doesn't mean you are betting 100%

meh hes cbetting 4 way against super strong ranges, what does he think they are flatting him pre with? Just awful. Squeezing 78o vs utg and mp in bb? I thought I was the one trolling but looks like im getting trolled. GG

if only this was actually your last post itt. don't get my hopes up.
