Tight reg that sometimes does random spewy things. Board favours my range as I can have all the overpairs and some draws / bd draws. I think turn barrel should be larger like 2/3 pot and when he raises me that small I think im priced in but I know hes strong and I doubt he even does it with an overpair as we got no aggro dynamic so it's likely a set or something like that. River is fold obviously.

I would 3bet to begin with. If fish has a hand they like they will cold call a 3bet anyway so it's better to try to get as much money in preflop as possible.

Is it? Sheit, thought €2 NL meant 0.01/0.02NL

I need a specific read to do anything but 3-bet. i.e. "Someone on my left is a maniac" would incline me to flat, in order to induce a squeeze. I don't like flatting if a fish on the left is going to call, because playing post-flop multiway with one pair can lose a lot of EV.

Month almost over and won't be playing much the last couple of days so here are the results.

Moved to Microgaming at the start of the month, and started in a coaching program. Been running like a god for this month, but also think that I'm actually getting better.

At the moment I feel very confident at NL50 and hope I keep running good to stay there. : D

NL50

who's your coach? nice results

Internet, he is pretty amazing.

Isn't he kinda expensive for your stakes?

It's coaching for profits program.

So, since I was fairly active (in 2013), can anyone tell me how severely NLHE has changed? Seems as though 5nl is a littler tougher than it used to be. Found myself playing poorly and struggling vs. the regulars. I'm rolled for 5nl but if I'm not confident in my ability to play it I'm unsure if I will.

I truly struggled at 10nl back in 2013, and am hoping not to have a repeat of that situation. Wanting to make sure I'm enjoying myself at the tables, and I only enjoy myself at the tables when I'm not making poor decisions.

That's nice. He's a good coach for it.
I think we are playing for the same fish soon and you can tag me as a regfish

@Oly
I think people might be getting better preflop, like overall 3-bet % might have gone up, but there's still plenty of post-flop leaks you can exploit.

Heya folks,
Would be nice if some1 can tell me what you consider as representative number of hands played on Zoom/SPeed whatever u call it poker limit at NL5 to know If u are winning player or got hitted by aura of luck?

Depends how high your winrate and standard deviation are. 50,000 is usually enough hands, but there are rare luckboxes that can win at 3bb/100 over 100,000 hands when they possess barely breakeven skills. Put some numbers into the variance simulator at http://pokerdope.com/poker-variance-calculator/

Very nice results, good job!

Only just noticed this.
Sweet! Paul makes great training videos, so having him as a personal coach must be brilliant.

Yeah, he seems super smart. Great player. Would love to have him as a coach also.

Couple of value bet spots.

h1: vs unknown. Likely some kind of a donk given stack size.
Bet river? I think 7 is one of the cards we shouldn't bet on. T9 and flush complete. 6 would be closer to a vbet.

h2: I just lost a big pot vs this guy and this is the hand straight after.
Unknown. Could be a weaker player. I tried to bet small to get calls from TT/99/88 with a . That's 18 combos, so is AQ-KQ, so I don't know what sizing to use. I think bigger sizing would be better, gives opponent a chance to do a mistake.
Now do we bet river? T not the best card. AQ/KQ would call though. I would think JJ 4-bets pre, maybe TT too, so that's less set combos. Bet ½ pot and fold to a raise?
I think he doesn't have many flushes. 89 or T9 maybe. So I think shoving is reasonable, it's just a matter of whether he would call.

Fish, how can you play on Party, aren't they blocking Finland, at least I couldn't make account to their site?


H2: bet turn with proper sizing with your range IMO, and pretty sure you can bet 3 streets for value with AcAx here, although turn and river are pretty bad cards, not sure.

Existing accounts are able to play. I signed up before they blocked.

Both hands are WP IMO.

Hand 1 the flop hits their ranges pretty well, river is one of the worst cards.

Hand 2 you're close to the bottom of your double barrel range here (JJ, QQ, AK are all better than AA now, all your flush draw semi bluffs made it, KK is the only worse hand you have right now). No way can this be bet for value, what worse hand is villain supposed to call with? Any decent player will fold AQ there.

With the KK on a 2-suited board against a likely fish, I think I like overbetting the turn (28bb or so) and checking back anything remotely scary on the river. As played is fine, but I think you missed some turn value. Villain has a J or a draw so often, and he's not folding.

AA is played well. I think it's too thin to bet river, although it's close.

Don't think we should overbet turn in the KK hand, villain has enough 8x in his range and isn't really super-capped. It's not a board where it's absolutely mandatory to checkraise a set and you'll only get called or jammed on by 8x if he has it.

Turn play?
