@TDA, it's also really good if they call off w/ AK otf vs a shove, but would c/f turn unimproved if their flop cbet was called.

Any point cbetting???

Readless and no hands on villian, but seen as he flats the 4b gonna presume he isn't the best.

i'd check back. We can cbet or worse Ax and Kx bluffs we have here

His range is going to be TT - QQ here, and possibly AQ. Since we block AQ there's more combos of mid-pairs for him to have than an Ax type hand. Checking gives you the option to play a smaller pot, While allowing you to possibly go to showdown against worse (he'll bet his overpairs on the turn when the flop checks back), while betting accomplishes nothing but fold out better.

So yeah, I'd check and just fold to any bet unimproved.

fml rough session.
-3BI to -2BI, basically down to 3 hands.

First one, probably could have folded flop.
But a 3b pot figured TP would be good a lot.

That happened pretty quickly and played ok after that.
Still EV adjusted break even, actual -$12.

Hero called here. I think they do this with the nuts and bluffs.
Likely a bad call.

Just played live. Won 150bb. Mostly from a guy bluff-shoving the turn against my flopped top set.

Yah, agree, just most players will bet turn when I check back the flop with anything (albeit any hand in a 4b flatting range except maybe AK is ahead of me on this board) and kinda puts me in one of those well he knows i've got AK spots haha

If that happens often check back strong hands on dry boards in 4bet pots IP since the money can still go in over 2 streets(preferable AA since its harder to get drawn out on).

Would any BQ regs be interested in a cash game session against each other? Kinda similar idea to the CR Thousandth Vid.

Could be 2nl or play money and we can post interesting hands later.

Studebaker:

H1: Fold flop. If he's defending KTs, he'd be defending hands like T9s, QJo, so on so forth. People at the microstakes aren't likely to get out of line with a medium strength hand in a 3bet pot. If you had of checked, and he shoved, I might call since a lot of people go "Oh, 3bet pot, he checked he must be weak, I'm all in!"

KJ isn't going to raise the flop. The only thing you beat which would make your line okay would be AQ/AJ with a flush draw, but that's a small amount of hands that you beat. He could easily have TT, 99, KT, T9, or QJ. Fold, and pick a better spot.

The rest of the hands just look like people playing poorly against you and binking. So chin up, and keep grinding.

That hero call is a bit iffy, IMO. It makes sense for him to have Ax here, but I'd expect him to have Tx here a fair bit too. It's iffy. NH though.



Birdayy, I wouldn't mind doing something similar with play money. I'd do it at 2NL but since my roll is currently in my bank account, yeah. We've got the Home Game on Pstars too, so could always use that.

Yeah, definitely up for it. Play money only really, can't use stake money and it's impossible to segregate.

I'm up as well.

Do you guys think it's a huge leak to isolate the same range you would open with?
Say it folds to us on the button, we have K6o and we open, should we just be folding if a fish limps ahead of us? What if we have a hand like 65s?

Ok. We can set up a shaboo table.

What day/time is good for most of you guys?

Time zones will make things a pain.

I'd be up for it.

GMT evenings and weekends best for me as I work

@Olybrah, iso with hands that can make TP, so K6o probably, 65s not so much

Would 65s be something we could limp behind, or is it best to take the reg-line and fold?

Could we do it in 6 hours? @Oly, that's 11pm for you, 9pm for me and 1pm for GMT (GMT evening is super bad for australians dunna)

If I'm available I'll join in. If not you guys might have to find a 6th man, or play 5 handed.

No probs mate, if you do one on a weekend gimme a shout

Semi-down for this

I could do that, I'm at home a lot at the moment (UK time) but might be out at 13:00 today.
Evenings are generally fine.

Do any of you guys have experience with Cake poker? Considering moving my Bankroll to there, since 36% rakeback just sounds... lovely.

All you guys in the shamboo home game?

Will setup 4 tables at the time stated above.

Frustrating day

Can someone tell me how I should have played this please, as after the session I've just had I'm questioning all things poker
