Fold of the instantaneous variety

I wouldn't instafold, but given stacksizes I would eventually fold

are there any threads/guides on the 180s of turbo variety? i've played tons of 4/180s, but starting out on the 3r/7/12 turbos now and aside from the 3r, i can't seem to do well

shove more, call shoves lighter

you're wlecome

Should I have shoved here on the button?




Also, should I have shoved here in the hijack with almost 20 BB's? Thanks

MannyDuuke:
1.Looks good
2.Too deep to open-shove
But I'm a newb, so don't take my word for it.




Probably should have raised preflop.
Is overbetting flop like this standard?

@mannyduuke standard shoves

@walls raise pre ~175, as played raising to 300 is plenty to get value and play for stacks later.

BTN (10.2 bb) is a reg, all the others are randoms with no stats (1st hand at the table). What would be the best play in this spot?

shoving is the most profitable play

you dont want them to think they have FE with A9/77 or something.

First one is uber standard, not sure about shoving the 2nd although i hate the idea of r/f or folding

2nd is also standard if they all have our stacksize. might be better to r/f if they all have 18BB, but shoving is fine

with these stacksizes we cant really r/f vs 3 of them, so it becomes an automatic shove.

Thoughts on this hand? $3.25 45man turbo.

I felt villain repped way too narrow a value range on the river and called. He either had a 6 or airballs IMO. Let me know if my thought process is missing something here.

I guess both hands are a bit dependent on reads/stats of villain. Hand #1 all you beat is a bluff, I think I can find a fold there. I feel a call is bad as it's for a significant portion of your stack, and if you're going to call wouldn't you rather shove? I wouldn't want to be left with 13bb at level2.

Hand #2 had you seen villain take a similar line before? I don't like getting it in here but there are enough draws in his range to make it worthwhile...seems like a donkshove to me

I didn't have much of read, just getting started with the session.

I just couldn't put him on a hand that flats flop/checks turn/bets 675 (for value?) on the river. I really didn't think he'd bet that much with either a 6 or a Q. If he bet more value-ish on the river I'd probably fold though.

I thought he was doing this

in which case I think he could have a really really wide range here.

I'm familiar with stop-n-go, but is the random villain?

Shove this pre imo, biggest stack behind you is only 14 BBs.

its ft and CO is a good reg, what is your range here guys?

Stacks suck, but i cant see myself folding 77+ A10s AJo possibly KQs

I think 66+ ATo A9s KQs is probably close.

It depends a fair bit on which reg though, some will be close to ATC here, others will be like top 20%. Instead of naming the reg though, try to decide what his range is, and post that.

Meh...... nit's

Makes sense.

But as played, call right?

he is def one of those regs whose range here is wider. I would say at least 30-35%.

Here's a hand that hurt my brain a little today:

Villain is little better than breakeven at the 12's over a 1.5k sample, aslso b/e at the 180's over 1k sample. Dont have many hands on him like 32 and he runs at 19/13, obviously depending on his style of play he should be jamming fairly wide here + A10 crushes the range he should be shoving, our utilty is really important atm and we dont really have to get involved, is this too much of spot to pass up??! Or should i let it go??

He has 6.5bb, his range will definitely be wide enough for AT to be a call there. He will be pushing with a lot of weaker aces, Kx, Qx.. etc Pretty wide.
Also looking at out stack, we have just over 11bbs and the blinds will go up soon, this is a great spot to add some chips to our stack.

I'm planning on adding 7.7 180s to my sessions, what are the differences between 2s and 7s? Are they a lot tougher? Should I be afraid of this at all or should I just try them out?

Just pretend they are 2s, they are the same game. There just might be a couple more regs on your table that's all.
