lol nice image

The funny thing is that im the biggest nit ever lol, dont know why these guys keep calling me like that, maybe because they saw me making the most std triple barrel bluff jam and think im always bluffing lol

Played such a sick session today, basically had to fold everything lol. Luckly I've done pretty well in the most important skill in winning in poker, which is:




Some hands

H1: It's funny when I refer as someone as "the king of nits", but it seems like there's nothing more nitty than this hand lol. Guy was 3-betting super tight and was trapping OTF like crazy, to add it up, his sizing OTT when betting into 2 people makes it an even easier fold. On top of that, I blocked KQcc/AQcc

H4: vs same guy as in H3, this hand happened before H3, which made every fold vs this guy easier lol. Btw, even though it's quite a simple play, this is the kind of **** that makes you hard to play against imo, tons of people are exposing their checking ranges a lot OTF, to the point where they're just x, x/f x/f with their range in those spots. Btw, was x/c flop, x/r turn and x/r river with this hand. Good play?

H6: dat vamo action OTR lol! The guy tanked for 2 mins, 100% he folded a flush there, since I'm pretty sure he is like myself, I wouldn't take more than 10s to fold a set/straight there. It's a quite gross spot for him too, vs population I think it's a fold even with the second nuts there. This hand happened right before that weird german called me with Q high lol

H8: vs the guy that called my jam with AJ high OTR some time ago, I think he is checking a lot OTT to induce and jam vs my bets, wp by me? OTR I think he is capable of bluffing, but I think he also valuebets AA like that. OTR there's just no way I can call with the Th though. Should I check back some monsters to protect myself from that? Or should I keep valuebetting him to death(since he is stacking off a lot OTT)?

VAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Saw u on the pool a few times on 50z.

I'm also Brazilian!

best of luck.

Ok lets see.

H1. Pathetic. Grow some balls and at least bet the flop sheesh.

H3. Don't like 3bet 44 in that spot at all, unless you enjoy playing 3bet pots oop with 4s. Just flat pre.

H4. Why the hell are you checking turn? There is so much value to bet there and you need protection. So bad. Just bet your hand ffs.

H5, fold pre or 4bet. The way the hand played out is exactly why flatting is bad. You made ur hand and couldn't even call 2 streets.

H8. I would bet turn, I don't see any reason not to. How can you think hes value betting there when your range looks like A high? Looks like a ******ed bluff to me id call. What makes you think he is checking turn to induce? he has a history of doing or are you just making up ideas as usual?

I know, love watching ur stream!!! Vamooooo

H1: can't bet the flop, even though QQ has an equity advantage vs his checking range, the hands it beats are folding and the ones that beat QQ are x/r. This was an GTO-based exploit, which is basically the dream, if he is checking always with his good hands in there, he is getting owned like crazy and there's nothing he can do about it unless if he starts playing a more balanced strategy.

H3: low frequency 3-bet

H4: In a vaccum, betting>checking, but check-raising increases the EV of my range by way more vs a villain that is capable of harassing me OTT. That's a spot where most people are capped at Weak pair/A high, so if villain were smart, he could valuebet 88 there and bluff relentlessly. By check-raising turn with this hand, I'll decrease the value of those plays by him, letting my weak SDV hands realize way more equity and win the pot more often. It's a huge win for me to win with A high OTR there, and vs some people it will never happen unless I do stuff like that with KK.

H5: 4-bet AQ UTG vs SB? LOL! That's a spot where AK calls at a higher frequency than it 4-bets, man. 3-bet ranges from SB vs UTG are insanely tight, maybe even tighter than BB vs UTG for some players.

H8: this hand is mainly a bet OTT, but I think we should check back sometimes, specially with the Th. But I've decided to check back because of villain's tendencies: he views me as a very aggro player that will float light and will stab a lot, so he is playing his range mostly as a check OTT. So I expect my bet to get check-raised a lot, and when I win, it's mostly vs his give ups, which I'm already in a very good shape against OTR. I'm playing most of my range as a check back there vs that strategy. My main goal with my range is to realize as much equity as possible, since villain has an insane equity advantage there(if he is checking his monsters and 3-betting tight). So in the end he is making a mistake by not extracting value from my range and letting me realize some 2-pairs/sets/pairs/flushes/straights for free.

I think it's very hard to play the turn as bad as this(for both players lol)

I decided to make my play because it was so likely that he was float betting that wanted to experiment with this line and see if people overfold, but it seems it's good for value, like range checking there and making a mergy range.

QQ 4bet pre. never ever cold call 3b

T9ss WP

44 fold pre. Personally I play 0 calls sb v btn, and start 3betting 55+

KK I think this line is good, can bet or check river

A8o can just x/c this profitably not really looking to x/r these hands. would do it with the normal Ad high hands. the 8 blocker kindave works against you, because you block 2p/set hands that would call turn and fold river

QTs hand can fold preflop, as played calling turn and folding river

TT hand is fine you don't need to call river with this hand. I would raise flop sometimes and also stab turn for 1/3

AKo... 4bet pre...

JTcc hand looks like spew

I actually misread A8o, thought you x/r'd turn. I prefer x/c flop but this is also fine

So Jx, TT and FD's are folding are they? Even if they did (which they won't), that means you immediately win a 30bb pot. Sounds pretty good to me. Instead your giving free equity to 2 Villains. Your logic is awful.

Just silly assumptions. He's not always checking with his good hands there.

No worse hands will call a x\r and you just iso yourself against the nuts. Im pretty confident no good reg is x'r KK on that turn. You are making a case to x/c which wouldn't be awful but still less ev than a bet imo.


You have 30vpip and regs are calling you down with Q high, have you ever considered the regs view you as a drooling whale and are actually 3betting you lighter than you think? If 3bet ranges in that spot are insanely tight why are you flatting Aqo?


If he check raises turns with monsters then turn is the easiest b/f in the world, its not a reason to check and give him free equity with the rest of his range. You really think he would value bet jam AA on that river vs your perceived range there? I highly doubt it. I think he bluffed your ass. You look like scared money to me.

This thread always delivers

Mirage, have you thought that we are the ones getting free carda in that QQ hand?
Vs his x/r range qq is in really bad shape

Lol at not getting called by worse in that kk hand, you just saw one reg callinf a hand vs me that loses vs 33% of my bluffs

Yeah, guy is 2.5x pot overbetting with a range that is 100% bluffs lol, totally std play from a competent reg haha

To be honest no. Something so ******ed never crossed my mind.

What about the rest of his range, your acting like it doesn't exist. He is unlikely to x/r 3 way on that board anyway. Your too scared to b/f? and keep losing value by over checking, who's being exploited really?

A competent reg is not playing AA KK like that or anything with value actually. His line was dumb.

Mirage, almost any hand we can get value from with qq will keep calling OTT, isnt it much better to check and see if he tells us what he has? Also the other guy is range checking,he could have all sets.

A good opponent knows I nevee beat AA Otr, so he can valuebet that for that sizing

Lmfao! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
Ahahahahhahaha
Hahahaha
Hahah

Sorry this response is on same level AS quoated. And u play highstakes micros???

You care way too much Vo2

5* thread
OP is probably the trickiest 100nl reg

LOL @ high stakes micros
I'm feeling first time in my life that I'm high stakes player now
Thank you, you made my day

QFP

This is gold

Rapidesh my son, according to Vo2min, you have made it!

It's pretty obvious what he meant. High stakes micros = upper micros. So 50NL and possibly 100NL (100NL is classed more as small stakes).

These days though, many people class as low as 25NL as small stakes. And I've heard people consider 200NL as high stakes. Which is ridiculous.

thanks for the compliment, but nah, I'm not the tirckiest of 100z, not even close lol. My game is pretty straightforward, sure I open myself to get exploited in a lot of spots, but most of the time I'm not getting tricky at all, I just play my ranges and sometimes out of nowhere I make huge adjustments, but at a very low frequency.

Imo I think if I went overboard with exploits, I think that I could get an expectation of 20bb/100 over 10-20k hands, but it wouldn't be sustainable in the long run, in fact, after people starts adapting, I would be losing at a higher rate than 10bb/100. The hard part of doing those kind of exploits all the time is that your poker game "gets lost" in that journey, so it's very hard to go back playing like yourself.

Just as an example: some regs print insane amounts of money by having super explo ranges with 100% bluffs, like one guy that ALWAYS cbets all his air and ALWAYS checks all his good hands b vs b. In the short term, he will print, since the population does the opposite, so most people stab a lot(as a bluff, thin value, equity denial), so they will get action with their good hands and bluff effectively, specially since their cbet stat won't go super up. The problem of playing like that is that you will eventually get lost and it's just a terrible way to play poker, since poker is all about consistency.

That's one reason why a lot of bad regs move up super fast(and I did it at the beginning of the thread, just look at the first graphs), but in the end, they won't have what it takes to be a really tough opponent. Usually people are super afraid of aggro regs when they 3-bet a lot "omg, he is 3-betting me, I don't like getting 3-betted"(you don't like getting 3-betted because half of the population 3-bets only QQ+ AK+ lol), when they shouldn't be afraid, since if they're 3-betting too much, their range is super weak, so you can exploit that in a lot of ways. I used to be super afraid of people going nuts vs me, trying to exploit my tight folds, but when I thought a little about their ranges, they're basically opening themselves to get exploited, which in general means more opportunities to make +EV plays.

If someones 3-bets your UTG open from the SB with 53s, you should be thanking them, they're giving you free money(if you want to accept that).

It's easy to think that "tricky opponents are tough", tbh it's really annoying to play vs people who raise-check-back OTT or that bluff a lot while checking back their strong hands, but after you understand how to counterattack those strats, it's way better to face an opponent like that which you know what he is doing rather than a solid player that is both bluffing and valuebetting with the same lines(and is capable of bluffing more/less/valuebetting thinner depending on your calling tendencies).

I think he was just trolling you dude.

mirage01 and Vo2Max, you're both way out of line with the way that you approach OP in this thread, have you ever considered NOT being total piles of garbage?

All of the things that you guys have said can be accomplished without being rude AF. Go find Rapidesh's BBV posts if you want to continue acting out

thx man!! love when I see your posts, alwaysfolding!
vamooooooooooooooooo


btw, bonus hand, CO was such a legend on his call, specially since I snap jammed over the jam(was afraid of the internet disconnecting, brazillian internet sucks lol)
