Meh - readless I would fold. pot odds/ our hand has a lot of negative reverse implied odds with the paired flop and turned diamond draw. Also, it will be difficult to get value from Tx, 8x if we hit on the river, our J should be discounted as an out and there is the small chance villian will have already made a better straight.

Is it worth it to play HUSNG without rakeback on tilt?

$6 turbo husng with a silverstar, not previously played him. Villain is 64/33, 3betting 21% of the time which was quite odd. Just want a decision on whether this is a call, fold or shove.

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $50(BB) Replayer
Hero ($1,605)
($1,395)

Dealt to Hero Q 3

calls $25, Hero checks

FLOP ($100) Q 3 T

Hero checks, bets $50, Hero calls $50

TURN ($200) Q 3 T 5

Hero bets $100, raises to $400, Hero ??

Why u check called the flop en then donk lead the turn? I prefer a check/ raise on the flop.

As played I would shove it in

btw cha that is a shove & i think villain should of shoved if he had a combo draw, cant say what he has but im guessing a pair but qj way too strong in that spot to fold, i wouldnt even mind calling the turn but thats me.. as played shove turn

damn i really need to stick to hu sng's & leave cash games alone... what made you guys choose hu sng's over fr, 6max or hu cash?

My reasons where my bankroll was low and NL2 and nL5 takes to much time to get a nice roll again. And i think there is a lot off deadmoney there. And I think when I am playing my A-game I have a edge. But don't play it to long now but we will see

I just wish I can start winning and have an ev line to back it up so I can start multitabling.

I remember yesterday, couldn't catch a break and searched for my opponent on ppt, found out he was a losing player, not a big surprise I thought, looked at his last 50 games and he had won 28 of his last 31 games. I couldn't stop myself from thinking what the ****. Coming from mttsngs I thought husngs was variance free, but all of these statistical anomalies happen all the ****ing time it seems.

I've probably seen all the weirdest graphs in my life looking at husng players the last month.
man, I feel the same right now; in a game where no one ever has anything how come all villains always river 2 pairs or sth ><
I'm like -$150 over 300 games mainly 6 and 11; unfortunately $EV is broken for stars in hem right now, but over last 150 games my chip ev is +12k; actual winnings -2k :/ so brutal....so demotivating...

I like how you call it "statistical anomalies" lol but yeah pretty much you start to wonder like how many times can you get a full house cracked in a single match or sth....and forget about ev, how about "how many times can I run my pp into a bigger pp at 75/150, like, wtf???"
and cherry on top, obv I run wayy worse at 11.5 than at 6.25
[/rant]
edit seems my ev ajusted roi should be 12% and I'm -4%

The rake is the same as stars for the 2 mans, so no rakeback isn't that big of a deal.

I am currently staking a player for $100 HUSNG's. What would you say is a acceptable downswing before I should start to get worried?

Okay here the deal, i built my roll in like 2 weeks on stars at the reg speed before i switched to boss media.

Played att boss for ~3 days now and it hasnt gone to well lol, main reason is because i f hate the software and it tilts me, and the reg speed starts at 15/30 and go up every 5 min.

Now ive decided to move to pacific with 10/20 start blinds, and increase every 8 min as soon as my money reach my MB account, any last warning or something why i shouldnt start there?

Which site is better for 33-55 dollars turbo hu sngs - PS or FT? (considering amount of fish, blind structure, rakeback and so on)

And another thing: on FT, you can open as many tables as you want, but on PS there is something different. I opened PS lobby, and i see only one table waiting on 33-55 dollar level, and i cannot open another table until someone sits to play at the opened table. WTF?

Any good threads out there for techniques to improve focus? I know taking notes, being well rested, getting exercise... Any others, any threads that someone is aware of where someone has written up a good bit on this topic?

Thanks in advance.

I need some Math help:

Full Tilt Poker $6 + $0.25 Heads Up No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t30/t60 Blinds - 2 players - View hand 1057662
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

BB: t1260 21 BBs
Hero (BTN/SB): t1740 29 BBs

Pre Flop: (t90) Hero is BTN/SB with XX
Hero raises to t120, BB calls t60

Flop: (t240) 6 7 5 (2 players)
BB bets t240, Hero raises to t1620 all in

I want to figure out how often villain needs to fold to my shove for this play to be profitable assuming that I have 33% equity when called. Can someone show me how to set up the equation so that I can run calculations like this in the future?

308.4 = 788.4 * %fold
39.11% = %fold

I think...

I remember reading something that you need to do something 23+ times to commit it to memory. A lot of people stagnate in poker and they stop learning or trying to figure out how to better their game. If you 1 table for a few hours a week and think about every decision it becomes more routine. You are able to process information better... and over time, for longer periods of time.

But you have to push yourself and force your brain in a new direction. Maybe it's just me but I imagine most are the same way, in that your brain really wants to autopilot. There's nothing wrong with that if your focus is good, but you have to train your autopilot to be awesome.

I forget who said it, I think it was TheBryce, but the person who is the best at poker isn't the one with the best A-game, it's the one who can play at his A-game the longest. I think it's very true,
