My default vs an unknown would be to cbet flop as he will call with all FDs and 7x, and then barrel turn on any non-spade. Unsure if I'd barrel an Ace or not too just thinking about it

@dill would start by cbetting the flop.
Couple of simple spots spots from yesterdays session.

h1: anyone cbetting this flop OOP?

Edit: should clarify that the stars above didn't intend to indicate the post was particularly important but were instead a series of profanities.

@Fishtankz - I've had a few hands with QQ nearly identical to yours and played them pretty much the same way. Would be interesting to see the thoughts of others regarding how to play in these situations.

Pretty good start to 2014. Up a BI and a half at 10NL. Started really badly and was down a BI in about 50 hands but kept my cool and ran it back up. Got a few hands for you all.

H1) Standard? His raise size worried me a bit but since it's quite a draw heavy board and we beat most over pairs OK to stack off here?

Anyway, if only all poker was so easy. Definitely made a note on this guy!

@Fishtankz
H1 - fine to check flop imo. Unlikely to get called by worse for more than one street, but you have no idea where you are if you get called OTF. The Pokerbank.com has just released a vid on resteals when an Ace hits so maybe go have a look. As played I'd be calling turn

H2 - Checking down seems fine.

H3 - Think flop raise is fine. You're OOP so need to control the potsize to get the money in the middle ASAP, and villain has shown strength with his cbet into 2 players on a drawy board that hits calling ranges. Think you're unlucky he doesn't have a hand here, but don't think you played it wrong necessarily as you need to balance with bluffs here too, especially if he'll cbet drawy boards with air

@DrBilo
H1 - calling all day. Go take a look here, specifically at the article on SPR

H2 - fold to the 4bet, this villain isn't bluffing

H3 - checking turn is fine, but not to fold here or OTR

Thanks, Dunna. Agree about H2. Looking back at H3, is the river a C/C or would a small value/blocker bet on the river and folding to a raise be better than calling?

In other news, I started a 2014 PG&C thread and would love it if you could subscribe

@bilo
h1: never folding
h2: either 5b shove or fold. Could do an SPR calculation postflop. What's our equity of catching BFD, and what are pot odds & our equity after hitting it. Then EV for this scenario.
h3: I guess calling can't be bad. Villain isn't folding much on this flop and he can turn some hands into bluff OTR.
Playing some 4nl now since i don't feel like i'm at top of my game. Really fun to see villains x/f BvB a ton of good boards to bet on. And the gameplay is quite simple overall

Always fun to see these kind of villains spazz out.

No. Let villain continue to bluff if he is and keeps the pot smaller by ch/calling if he has hit better. We want to see a showdown so need to basically station here. Also we can't just ch/fold every time an overcards hits so need some non Ax hands in ourrange that we'll ch/call here. This is basically top of that. Also think about what you'd ch turn then donk small otr with?

Take a look at the link i mentioned for Fishtankz

88 looks good

Guy to my immediate right was a pushover and the other two weren't much better.

Seemed to be a lot of fish at 10NL tonight but with limp/fold stats of 0 and FCB of close to 0 it seems like a lot of isoing and check/folding is in order?

Like this.

Decided to play a few more hands to finish off a bonus.
Stacked twice on the same table!!
JJ < 88 overpair vs. set.
Then this one...just a bad beat but loved the flop!

Can't complain about the hands, but turned a winning 10nl session into -1.5BI losing one...

Bad thing with 4nl is that there is not much bluffing going on.
Not a big mistake to gii here with 100bb but also need to keep it simple, stupid. So can fold be +EV here?

Only one goal for January(and prob feb too):

[ ] fix blind play.

Currently at -70bb/100 combined(47/23 in bb and sb respectively) which is absolutely massive. If I fix that(>-50bb/100 combined) il be crushing by spring time.

Off to a good start with it though, already found a few leaks

U planning on folding, 3betting, or cold callin more?

A mix of all three

Like from the BB there are some spots i need to 3bet more and fold less(against SB and Button) and against UTG I need to 3bet less and CC less too.

It's a mix of not having a strong enough standard game from the blinds, not adjusting well enough to the opening position as well as opponents stats.

From looking over hands it seems I play more of a robotic game from the blinds for whatever reason.

wheeee... welcome to 2014

It just never seems to get better.

Inb4 take it to BBV.

Started mixing in 16nl deep tables to my rotation. Some ambitious regs.



Hands for discussion;

H1 Not sure about the turn. Vs fish.



H2 We have to bet the river right?



H3 Fine double here or give up OTT? Felt a lot of his range (PP heavy) would call flop and fold turn.



H4 River play?



H5 Standard I presume?



H6 Last one. Guess flatting is ******ed?
