Good call then.

All good. You might not be able to cash out anyways so it’s not bad you’re giving your money away.

You're such a miserable person.

Gl op! Keep putting the volume and play more on stars, ar least your money there is safe.

thanks rapid. still waiting on confirmation from bodog, but I'm not as worried as I was before. I should be able to withdraw by the end of the week

putting in some 200nl volume rn. poker is so much more fun when you can almost always get V to do what you want them to

been playing much better this week, but I also feel a little overwhelmed by all the information I'm trying to process and implement into my game. it's like I'm rethinking every spot as I play, which ultimately is a good thing but it's making it difficult to put in a lot of volume. there's a couple flop textures/situations I need to take some time to figure out my strategy, because I'm still kind of unsure how I want to play them. I don't want to make any massive adjustments to my flop strategy without figuring out how I'm playing turns/rivers on different runouts

also been thinking a lot about what the best way to maximize my ev is while also trying to improve and move up in stakes... My hourly at 200nl is close to my hourly at 500nl and the variance and stress is significantly lower. I can play more hours and add on more tables when I play 200nl, so I think it makes sense to mix in 200nl volume when the 500 games are tough. so yeah, I'm probably going to be splitting volume again. I expect to still play >50% at 500nl+ and just play 200nl when I don't want to battle and deal with as much variance

this week so far:




probably going to play live poker tomorrow

Where do you typically play live in Mexico? Or are you going to come up to San Diego?

yeah I go up to san diego or la. probably just sd tomorrow. gotta re up on the tree anyway

I don't know of anywhere to play down here

keeping with the tradition of only posting std coolers that I wanted to hero fold:

obv can't lay this down, but I was sooooo close to nit folding. I think he can have 76, 66 and maybe 97 too, but it's gunna be TT a lot. i don't even know if V always shoves every lower FH, def seen people just call a hand like 66 in this spot

i don't like my sizing either. proper punished

Considering we're blocking 98 extremely hard and the 2 sets we beat on the flop is down to one on turn it's quite tricky, your river size is bad as you just gave all his bluff catchers the easier call/lose the min on a board you should have a range advantage, on that note his betting range on this board from MP should be extremely strong even though his flop sizing is awful(should be much bigger),Not sure what history you got here but river to me seems like a big bet and call vs a raise...logically we beat 6s/67 lose to TT/77 so it's pretty neutral in that regard if he's honest.

+1
The only thing I don't agree is with the sizing, I think villain's sizing is good on that texture. At least that's what pio likes, I still haven't figured out why yet. Probably because both ranges have 98 in it, not allowing IP to leverage his overpair advantage, because OOP can deal very well with bigger sizings by having some nutted hands that have overpairs drawing almost dead.

Would you cbet all your overpairs 1/2 pot on this board IP vs BB if so how are you playing vs xr/barrels on later streets, pot controlling IP is a thing also, If I'm betting this flop with overpairs it's for exploit reasons only vs fish/ie person with low fold to cbet/xr other than that my cbetting range is purely bluffs or hands that can easily call/raise vs a xr.

Vs good regs I'm checking back KK/AA/weak TP/midpairs + some garbage and betting JJ-QQ/stronger TP/some bluffs/midpair top kicker for 50%

Vs a passive fish it's good to go big in there like you said
Vs x/r from passive guys I like overfolding flop. Vs reg's x/r I like calling more hands with more playability on later streets/blocking his value like TJdd/AhTx than a hand like AA (which opens my strat to get owned by villain x/r TPTK, but that's another reason to not bet AA otf too).

lol this is so terrible

i will say, vs a big cbet otf (this texture) most people will defend reasonably well. they won't c/r enough (same as all flops/sizings), but they will defend enough imo. they won't defend enough vs a small sizing imo, so I think V could actually go smaller otf. or much bigger. overall I don't like his flop size, it's super easy to play against

you sure? tell me why

"I'm not betting any overpairs on T76 MP vs BB"

enough said

What type of answer is that? don't even know what MUBS is, what is your check back range on this flop then?
