3b/c is certainly worst.

Slightly deeper like 30bb+ I`d def love flatting more but guess with these positions flat-call won`t look very strong yet. Limper won`t hesitate much. So yeah flat > shove but shoving with your stack isn`t bad.

Plo hand, K8 and KK all played fine. KK being the most interesting, but I believe flatting turns ur hand pretty face up, shoving keeps ur range that little bit wider

FT of 8r. Villain is SN, first time we've played together. Up to this hand he was opening lots of hands pre but nothing to showdown. OR and btn are good LAG regs fwiw.

Hey guys,

villain was running 26/15/69 over small sample size and seemed fishy.

Appreciate short feedback.

folds to me on the button 78cc and i have ~30bb.
SB has ~8bb and BB has 11bb.

shoving fine?



Another hand around the same level i minopen KJhh from the hijack with a 25bb stack.
Everybody except the sb had 20-40bb and the sb has 9bb. The sb is a fairly tighter player....should i be getting away from his 3bet cram?

shoving is fine with 78s; SB has to be really tight to fold the KJhh; you need 35% equity and have 34% vs 99+/AJs+/AQ+ which is about as tight as he could be.

should i take other things into consideration other than straight chipEV? Say he was that tight (he wasn't) and it was that close...and i feel i had an edge on the table/field..at what point is it more valuable to hold on to my 23-24bb stack and fold rather than risk going to pushbot zone...maybe i should not even open if im not willing to stack off vs shorty..

I think you bet too small on the flop, you made it so cheap he'd call with just about anything and it looks like you have nothing. I'd make it 500-600 when heads up like this. I'd follow up the turn with a healthy 1/2 to 3/4 pot bet as well when checked to. You're likely still ahead and your hand can still improve. Villain might have folded already or just checked the river but the way you played it he could easily have made that bet on the river to steal your pot with air. If you take my line, I think you're ahead verses a fishy player most of the time and if he then shoves what little left he has on the river that's where it gets sticky though you still might be ahead. You'll still have chips to play either if you call or fold.

78s - yes

KJs - no (dnt fld )

LOL hand. teh big 22.

Villain is micro-stakes newbie on PS.
Was active on small sample. 1st time he 3bets.
We hold 2.5x average stack deep in tourney.

calling range?

Bet around 50% pot otf perhaps and cbet fold ott.

As played if I were to hero call I might do it here - dnt mind your fld I guess.

Big $27.50 V is 13/0 over 16 hands. Is a jam fine here?

Nice hand.

this happened to me recently and the opponent had QQ. Maybe avoid this spot though given your equity in tournament?

I dont know what can I do to reach late phase of tournaments...Last two I played for 4 hours both and busted with AK to K10 and AK to KJ, where I was 74% favorite before flop...And tonight after 3 hours busted with KK against AJ, where I was 71% favorite pre flop...And in same time I see russian winning 2 showing with 26o and 25o ...

You just have to be focused on making right decisions and not results over short-term. Study to make sure what you think are right decisions are in fact so.

Is this played very badly? I feel it is.
The opponent was a random and did weird stuff on the flop. I had no idea what to do.

Yeah, you can just snap fold to the reraise on the flop.

Unfortunately, this bad things continue to happen...

Hand #2. You should have shoved preflop unless guy is mega mega tight. Just a cooler. The set followed by flush is irrelevant.

Thanks for reply...I didnt shove pre flop cause I was moved to that table maybe 3 hands ago and didnt have reads about that vilain.

first time converting, hopefully I don't **** this up. BIIIIKRAM PLS. I hate this spot so much. no info on the random euro, only played an orbit with him but he seems pretty aggro.

Nugo- Your 3-bet sizing is small OOP. I would go bigger; closer to 3x. The hand will set itself up where you can easily get three bets in before the river and set up a nice pot-sized shove.

You can rep an overpair pretty well (his initial opening raise was from UTG+1) if you triple-barrel and this runout was definitely significantly above average for you to do that. I would rather do that or not c-bet at all than stop at 1 or 2 barrels against an aggro opponent when we're OOP.

I'm not really sure what's going on or what to make of this hand. I mean I think I played can anyone break down action?


I guesse maybe he feels like he can never fold now that he did that on the flop. Anyone do anything extremely differently? 2.5kg, vs winning player over small sample. he seemed somewhat positionally aware so I thought I can flat him here in position a lot and be profitable post by making him fold in some spots and inducing/potcontrolling others. Also didn't want to 3bet from the button and it's too strong to fold vs his stealing range here I think? Not wanting to 3bet, was more b/c I think it just ramps up his aggression and it probably looks like im 3betting pretty wide since ive already done it a few times from the button at this tble. so I don't want to end up folding to a 4bet I enduced.

I also logic in my head was. if he does flat idk, like I can take it away a lot more or a lot of suited connected type boards, because they would smash what looks like my calling range, like float wet boards and represent draws on later streets type stuff, or raise the flop on certain textures when he c bets. like so better aces I can fold out postflop that will 4bet me pre. and I keep in worse aces by flatting and im ahead of kq type stuff?







any thoughts aprecciated on anything on any street.

of note is that .. with regard to the turn. Theres a strong probability I may have induced him. I expected him to c-bet a significant portion of his range on this kind of a board, especially out of position. So I took a really long time before I came to the decision to do what I did. So the small sizing combined with me timing down could have had some kind of affect on his check/raise frequency ?

and his timing on the check/raise the flop was not snap , but it was like maybe1.5 seconds so pretty quick relative to his other decisions. But it just seems like such an absurd line for him to take with a strong hand idk.
