Jesus, got owned in the last session lol

Some hands

H4: vs nitty reg, meh, OTR I was thinking a lot about calling, but I don't see people bluffing a ton here, he could have some busted draws since he was calling most of them OOP, but so he could have Kx and 77. Good fold? Better calling without Ac, right? OTT I like barreling for value, but this guy was so nitty that I thought it was kinda too thin, he was folding >70% OTF too, so he had way more Kx than I

H5: lol pot odds. Looks really bad, but this play is very good vs very very bad players, I learned this when I started playing poker in the 25c SnGs lol. Basically we min-raise, expect the whale to overcall the min-raise, then the other guy min-raises us back, and we min-raise back just to get some extra off the other guy until he can't fold his hand lol! Playing vs whales is so fun!

Played a small session today, don't know if I'll be able to play more, got some stuff to do and I'm going to the gym, slacking off a bit lately

Some hands

H1: at the time I jammed this I thought I was explo bluffing here, because villain calls a ton OTF and OTT, so his river range is likely to be weak, he probably has a ton of PPs, Now looking at it again, this combo is a very good one to jam river, since we block AJhh/AQhh that are floating flop and turn. Good jam?

H3: vs unknown, decided to call river because he wouldn't take that like with Kx OTT that isn't a FH, because these guys are always super afraid of the flush, OTR it made sense when I saw his hand lol. Fold river? Is checking back turn is any good? Decided to bet to deny some equity off his random spazz like 67o with a hearts

H4: This is the kind of hand that shows the difference of good regs vs bad regs imo. This guy should range check OTT, since Tx improved my range a lot, most of my AK are checking OTF, I have a ton of 9x and got some 2-pairs there. These guys just look at their hand and think the best line for their specific hand rather than their range in that spot. The worst part is what happens when he checks, which will be super weak.

What's wrong with jam?

the jam is fine, what I'm trying to say is that villain is so nitty that I was forced to play my hand this way, like call pre CO vs BTN and fold only afraid of 3 combos

btw, hero calling still going well, it seems a ton of people were explo bluffing me like crazy lol. Vs reg I've played a ton against. Weird to end up making folds like that AK one and right after call this.

My reasoning OTR is that I don't block any of his bluffs and that he is super aggro anyway, it won't take much for him to overbluff there. Also it's possible that he uses this sizing with his bluffs(because I overfold) and smaller with his value

7s7x def blocks bluffs. Seems like a pretty bad hand to bluffcatch, u block 78, 97 type of hands, and dont block any value.
maybe villain is just overbluffing crazy and the call is good, but a hand like QJ is much better bluffcatcher imo

77 terribad bluffcatch

That's an awful call

Seems your read was correct on 77 so wp but yeah those blockers are horrendous

It definitely is ******ed and I'd say your definitely one of a kind. You have AKs and flatting vs 50bb pre, then you have top 2 and your scared and flatting turn, then folding river, and getting totally owned. The same old story, 'he's a nit so I' going to play ak scared'. You had top 2, and still scared vs someone with 40bb behind. You never cease to amaze me.Scared of 3 combos, are you saying villains co pfr was 3%?. How aren't you folding 7s on the turn on that board? lolz

i would say it's a flop fold in 77 hand, even villain draws have good amount of equity..

I don't think you can fold for that tiny cbet sizing but if villain is opening 85o, then it should be a pre 3bet.

Jesus christ boy. Ur Logic is so screwed. Jam the **** out of ak! Quit losing value! Fold 77 u block A ton of bluffs But zero value hands, this was pure luck and terrible! 3-bet pre If u have such good history....Should be in ur sb vs bu anyway. there is to many leaks and total basic stuff u Dont get that Should come natural after so many hands played! U overthink and Dont know what ur talking about. Focus on straight forward poker and print. U play in the micros for now so tell ur innerself ego that. Maybe one day u Get ur head out of ur a$s and listen to all ^ Nice people who soon for 60 Pages tryes to knock some Logic in ur stubborn head.

yeah, call was terrible in GTO, ofc I didn't think about that at the time, thought it wasn't that terrible not blocking FDs, but this is an area I'm still learning, since my std was always to fold, so I'm not used to hero calling.

I was thinking more about which hands villain would valuebet for that sizing, and there were very few, maybe even none, since since I'm a folder, it makes more sense to him to valuebet smaller and bluff bigger if he was going for max exploit

Still have a ton to learn, so good to be able to make some calls, but it's easy to get trapped into that thinking, start stationing pretty hard, lose a ton and go back to overfolding without thinking

btw, played a super breakeven session yesterday, so much spew, stacks flying around so much, this calling thing is really hard for me to handle, but I'll have to handle it in order to become a good poker player.

You call when you should fold and fold when you should call.

That's true but what if he's "right" both times

Then he played the hands perfectly and will rightfully defend his decisions to the death!

if those hands were vs the same opponent, sure. But can you explain me how calling with AK there is +EV vs a 18/10 player with 1 AF and 22 river AFq over a good sample?

He isn't even valuebetting AK there, probably not bluffing. And even if he bluffed every missed gutshot he could have, it wouldn't be enough to make that a +EV call(if he is valuebetting flushes). He can't have offsuited broadways in his range.

Vs some guys you just have to fold, I can only beat a bluff and it's unlikely a 18/10 is going nuts out of nowhere because he had a fight his wife that night and he had to sleep in the sofa. Even in that scenario I don't think he would go nuts with JTdd there.

Poker is a game about people, people are different and play different, if you're playing the same strat vs every other player, you're losing a ton of EV. Rake today is so high that if I don't make those exploits, I can't beat 50z.

cmon man.... 3b the AK preflop and the 77 hand is like one of the worst hands to call his river bet with

The AK hand is whatever and I applaud you for your read. I think the river's a fold as well. The 77 hand is god awful though. You (should) have so many better hands to call with otr that 77's just a fold. It's ok to be bluffed sometimes.

You still don't seem to realize you shouldn't have made it to the river in the first place in that spot. The hand should have gone 3bet pre, call all in or bet, jam turn, not your pussy ass line of flatting all the way to the river scared of a 50bb stack. That's one of the most pathetic hands i've ever seen.

yeah, as I said, I'm new to this calling thing, so it's normal to make some huge mistakes when choosing hands to call the river.

Btw, played some 100z today, meh, lost 2 BI there. Every time I go there I think I can't beat the games, everyone has everything, they outplay me like crazy, it looks like people are basically looking at my cards and making the best decision vs that. I had developed a strat to beat 100z from the population tendencies I saw, but it just doesn't work. I'm pretty down, not confident at all.

I know 50z and 100z probably plays the same, but the gap in confidence there is just so high. Just some examples from 100z hands, if anyone could give me advice if they're ok, thanks


H1: Should I consider folding this? My std is to fold on UTG dynamics, but B vs B is so annoying, I have to call, right? Every time I've called down here on 100z my TPGK was no good.

H4: another airball, meh, I just don't know what to do on 100z, even though the bluff isn't like a good move, I'm quite overbluffing there, but when I played 100z last week, went into nit mode and people were overfolding vs my valuebets in 3-bet pots, so my strat was to go more aggro on those pots.

Bankroll is at $2700, won't play 100z again until april, so sad, feeling so crushed, it's like the 6th time I've jumped in the 100z streets and got owned. And it wasn't bad luck, I had AA>KK and coolered a guy with a straight>set

Think h1 is a four bet most of time imo but as played have to call down.

h2 again close between 4b and peel, post is pretty lol, line is kinda sick as you said, no clue what to do, probs assume pop likely doesn't have enough rofl bluffs but who knows....

h3 idk

h4 I kinda don't think it's that bad, imagine a fair amount of his ddx hands might 3b CO vs MP, hardly see many flats here and I feel that flats we often see are fairly weighted to PPs. think generally zoom pop overcalls PPs far more than connected hands

h5 i fold pre, AP flop and turn seem nice, you ever think we can just call river? blockers guess are reasonings for both.

h6 is lol and h7 wp i guess
