Depends on villian's stats.

Turn is baluga - unless he's a donk/maniac- where I'm happy to ship.

he is laggy on the button, shipped it vs my c/o 4bet when i had jj last week and i snapped him off & he had aqo... he loves going far with his bluffs which is why it seemed so much like a bluff, my plan was to call a river bet but the shove took me by surprise

TT, 22, 99, 66, 10-9, 8-7 are all within range. He's got position on you, so I don't see why he wouldn't call with that and raise you.

Not to mention all his SCs and he could be trying to turn a made hand into a bluff, etc.

And if he knows that you know that, more of a reason to do it. Then again, maybe that's too fancy for 25NL. The purpose of those bluffs is to make him seem crazy in hopes it pays off someday.

I don't know, but I want to challenge myself. I admit I just threw out a large, confident, semi-improbable number off the top of my head, but I'll feel like a boss if I can do it.

I just did a rough equation in my head, and if I can get in 30 games a day (inb4gettinglaughedatbya20+tabler), then I have a chance.

I just took a very quick glance at your hh's last night... and one thing I noticed is that you aren't shoving enough when short. You were folding Broadway-rag hands in late position when folded to you with like 6-8 bb's.. not something you generally want to be doing. When you are that short, especially with how much is in the middle... you want to be attacking it whenever you get the chance. Don't be worried about looking silly if you are called. "If you aren't getting it in behind, you aren't getting it in enough."

sick fade

I am such a nit I might have folded any other river. Welcome back I guess.

I tried tablescan turbo last night nice piece of software. Helped me quickly find some single tabling fish from my db.

so ice u suggest opening K3o for example late pos with like 20 ppl left? if u at 10bb or less?

I rarely limp - but isoing here usually will get a crapload of callers, so limping felt fine on my part.

Back to 10NL soon

UTG's fault, nh.

Depends who is acting after you.

K3o is a shove BvB/BTN If blinds are tight.

This... but it's not like they have to be nitty tight. As my friend explains it: You only have two hands behind you... so when you shove... not only do they have to have a hand worth calling and risking all of.. or a good chunk of..their stack.... they still have to win the hand. So don't be afraid to shove and look silly if you are called... hands only matter if they get to showdown.

Lol, I mistypaments - Can't keep running good.

Meant to type in 0.4 but ended up typing 4 on the turn

If you want to learn good push fold - the super turbo 6-mans/9-mans are a great place to practice and earn cash (The players are terrible - you just need to run decent)

Played my first session in about 1 week, and did fairly well. I was breaking even for the most part, while playing 2 deep/ante tables + 4 100bb tables. I chased a cpl draws, and missed them all.

Then during my last cpl orbits I picked up AA utg and limped, utg1 raised to 5xbb. I 3bet to 16bbs, and he shoved (I limped planning on getting raised by him, bc in the previous hand he did the same thing after someone limped and he was 3bet) He had KK and got unlucky. Anyway, I finished the session up $10 in 330 hands.

Maybe I'll play tonight so I don't scoreboard watch during all my parlays and teasers.

i run so bad in the iron man freerolls lol

They're also pretty fun to play.

Just played 11 right now, $-0.20 net which is fine cause the sample size is tiny and I wasn't really focused on the first 6.

I'm pretty sure I could grind these and make a profit.

Errm, so, like, I won Shanoobs.

S'pretty much it.

no one cares, you are a super user obv

14 games, 8 cashes, 23.76% ROI, +$11.75

Decent little session, but I'm still feeling tilted. I kept busting on the bubble when I'd push hands like AKQ2 or AKK3 and get busted by some station with 9542 or some other low crap. Variance will variance, but I'm also unhappy with how poorly I was playing in the early stages.

BR: $277

Got 2nd in Shanoobigans for +$4, then won 1.94 in 686 hand of 5NL. Decent day, didn't play as much as I wanted to though.

Up two and a half buy-ins at 10NL, but I'm not happy about winning one of them cause it was a major suckout.

Anyway.

I don't think I played this optimally, but here's my reasoning for this hand.

It's a pretty aggressive game. I don't normally limp Aces in UTG, but the table dynamics called for it.

Unfortunately, nobody raised, but that's besides the point. I flop the nuts.

I figure people here are either drawing cheaply to a flush or milking trip 5s.

When villain calls my turn raise, I imagine his flush got there, so I'm trying to maximize value here with an overbet. Why would villain be in the hand at this point otherwise?

He might even fold a baby flush w/ that big overbet on a paired board, depending how good he is. And if he has trips 5s he can even fold that since you raised the turn when the 3 flush hits. I think @ 5nl you get their stack if they have a baby flush or trip 5s.

I'm not sure why you don't like limping Aces utg? It's one of my fav. plays @ 10nl, since many ppl raise limpers thinking they're weak.

I do it only when people are raising limpers.

Otherwise, it's a recipe for disaster at these stakes.
