So, let me get this straight. You were torn between the 2 worst options and did not even consider the best option of betting turn, and xf river? lawl.

H4. This is probably the only hand I have ever seen you play well. Usually you do something stupid like xj turn, Although even when you post a decent hand there was still some comedy. You labelled villain a 'tight reg' yet he called a 3bet with JTo, floated you with air, and then bluffed off his stack. Those reads lawl.

is 20/17 loose? lol
I had a lot of hands on him, so he is a reg. A tight reg
People tilt and do stupid **** all the time, even nits haha

If the tight regs are so out of line against you just imagine what the rest of them are doing.

x/f turns obviously haha

It's pretty funny how you fight to the death with people on here about this awesome read you have of someone being a nit when you make a big fold but by your own admission, "nits do stupid **** all the time". Only when it fits whatever narrative you wanna sell.

I exaggerated on that statement. People are more likely to bluff when there are chops or very scary boards and tend to underbluff when they raise the river on super dry boards like A6672r.

Also there is a big difference if you consider how previous actions narrow our opponent's hands, just as an example, my only aggro action on that 88 hand was a small cbet, which he called with any2, so his pre-flop calling range is likely to be the same as his flop calling range = super wide. Now if I open UTG, villain calls from the SB, I bet bet and bet, his river range will be way more tighter than his pre-flop calling range.

I mean, if you say so boss...

I'd cash out a bit and buy bottled water.

My biggest hero call so far!!!

Got owned sooo hard recently at 200z, probably still positive because of extreme luckboxing skills. It seems I was right, I can only beat that stake when there are some serious whales in the pool. At least I'm confident I can beat 100z, will keep playing both stakes, going where there are more whales, if I lose a lot of BI at 200z, risking my bankroll, I'll stick to 100z for a while.

Some hands

H1: I could see this as a good play vs a reg, but vs a fish it's terrible, played it super ******ed in there. Vs a reg, donking range OTT is fine and OTR fine too as well, since I'll have more Kx OTT and OTR I have some straights looking for a valuebet

wtf that vamo action in h3

Lel

Rest assured its terrible against anyone. If you did have more Kx on turn, which you don't, you shouldn't be betting it for that lol sizing, and you definitely shouldn't be overbet jamming on that river. Your line and logic make no sense at all. lawl.


I'm curious where you picked up this ******ed turn donking range from, or is it your own creative little idea? Seems to be working out well, how many stacks you punted off with this advanced strat? I'm sure quasselihno doesn't mind you paying his rent though.


H3. Awful.

Count down to busto.

2x pot jamming into 2 people is just sooo strong, love making those plays haha

knew you were going to love H1 lol


sauce's videos ofc! Donking is good in some spots where your range gets a boost in equity and villains will check back a lot.

vaaaamooooooo

Donking is king.

legend

As is not a slam dunk card for your range where you should start leading fwiw.

Might want to get a solver if you haven't yet?

The sizing is ******ed as well. less than 1/3 pot turns and over bet jamming rivers.

Have only 3h/day for poker, I have more fun playing.
When playing vs people at 200z realized some guys are big into solvers, saw a lot of weird lines by them. One day i will start working with them

You have to get the basics down some way, using Flopzilla with a good set of preset ranges is reasonably quick as well.

Thinking you have 59% and picking a line for it when you really have 49% is a disaster. You only need a little work to get decent at guessing. Thinking As takes you into a substantial range v range lead in that spot is indicative of you not having ran many spots in an equity calculator. It's waaay off.

thx for the ideas, man, yeah, if it would be an offsuit ace, would it be fine?
In these donking spots I'm mostly using my gut feeling, which is likely to be wrong. Meh, but in a vacuum it's a good move vs quasselinho, he hates to fold, specially vs me. I have flopzilla, but don't use it much, would prefer watching RIO videos over that. But I've watched a lot of PIO videos in RIO, those were the ones I made my priority. In the end, most of my plays are based on some exploit, but overall I try to avoid going too far, like quasselinho does.


Played today, still getting owned lol

Some hands

H1: vs fish, meh, not sure about this one. Is it ok to call flop planning on folding turns? His range looks so much like big pairs. OTT it's fine, right?

I think he should just fold river, it's way better to call with T7, 8c is also really bad to call with

vaaaamoooo

H4, you really think top 2 is a fold for villain? lol

Agree with all of what Salmo says. It's all well and good saying your strategies are based on exploiting over/under folds from the population or whatever, but if you don't know what correct strategy looks like, and you're trying to exploitatatively deviate from correct strategy, then it's kinda just clicking buttons.

Dom Nitsche speaks a lot about this in his Joe Ingram podcast, for anyone interested.

vs a 2x pot with the club blocker, it is imo, way better to call with JTo without clubs

It's not like I'm a super 3-bet monkey like the other explo guys in the pool, from the explo players, I'm probably the one with the most solid approach to the game when it comes to theory. As an example: quasselinho will show with a range that is 100% bluffs or 100% value in some spots, while I try to have at least a reasonable proportion between them, like 80% value and 20% bluffs, or 80% bluffs and 20% value.

Vs fish ofc it's fine to go 100%, but vs regs I try not to overdo it. I have also a reasonable idea of what parts of my range should be doing at a given spot and think a lot about my range rather than my hand.
