I use a hand converter for Bovada, it renames the HH Stars. It is against the 5/10 guy

Oops, forgot about these.
Almost finished Easy Game
Moved to Stars
On target for 10k+ hands

Two more acheivements to unlock

Play 8-games then.

You get to play a bunch of different games vs the softest possible villains for the stake.

+1, learning new games is fun

Ha I suck at HU.
In cheap tourneys I have a pretty good record HU but been trying out some play money and I lose badly against the 100 VPIP guys who complete every SB and call every 3x.
They're letting me see free flops and I can't beat them

EDIT...well, got it in good...

On Stars they credit you the points after you left the table. So there is no telling how much points you accumulated.

@Studebaker

Just a reminder - you're playing no limit. You're best served to play the most exaggerated exploitable style to maximally exploit your opponents and maximize your winnings. That's something I learned with play money, and it definitely applied to certain opponents I ran into at real money tables. I could be wrong, but I honestly believe that I'm able to extract more value from fish than the average grinder b/c of my toying around with play money

If you're playing against fish who call 100% just open like 30% and open like 4-5x.

Things like weak SC or hands that can flop well just complete yourself and out play villain post flop.

If villain is completing all the time then once again just raise up strong hands and check the rest.

If villain isn't folding postflop then just go like pot pot pot with your good hands.

edit - that 30% is a made up number, the idea though just play tight and as you get more comfortable add more hands to your range.

Especially with play money, you can do things like bet in relation to effective stack size instead of pot size. eg otf, the pot is 20 and the effective stack is 200, bet 85. Just experiment with things you would never dream of doing in real money games (yet), and you'll be surprised with the results

YAY. Chromestar.
Now I can play the crap shoots freeroll.

I still have a poker itch. Continue to play poker? y/n. If y what kind of goal should I aim for?

If I was you I'd aim for 12.5k hands this month assuming that 10k has taken you all month so far.

It did took me five days. I upped my table count from 6 to 12, so that I don't play any garbage hand.

Ye, don't up your tables from 6 to 12 it's bad for your development as a player as you don't have time to think through hands properly which means you don't improve as quickly. Being a nit beats 2nl, but it doesn't beat much more.

I'd just aim for a realistic volume amount, but playing maybe 4 tables and really concentrating on getting better.

I... don't even?

I keep reading that when people donk flop they fold most of the time when raised, but my experience is that they fold almost none of the time when raised.

At least I put in zero money while behind....

Could have a flush draw, but by the river think it's too thin to bet given the board run out and his calling range could have made some two pair type hands.

don't like shipping flop with AA. Just bet 1/3PSB and ship turn or check flop.

It's because he had so little left behind.
I thought he's not calling $1.75 and holding 45c back if he's calling at all he'll probably come over the top.

Not really that wet of a board. Tiny SPR. Against a decent player I'd be cbetting much much smaller as my range would crush that board.

You're just giving people a chance to fold basically when we never want that.

You can't win if you fold

H1 - Awful at every step after raising pre.

H2 - River is awful, missing so much value. Whether calling or raising turn is better I dunno, I'd imagine calling is.

H3 - Fold to 3bet, fold to cbet. Turn is fine I suppose as you aren't winning any other way and I doubt villains are being tricky.

H4 - Maybe. Not 100% on the river sizing.

I think you need to realise that when we are bluffing with streets left to come, we can choose which hands we bluff with.

If your range looks like this
<worst ------------------------------- best>

Say we want to fold 25%, bluff raise 25%, call 25% and value raise 25%, how would you split up your range so that you could do that? And why.

Yeah, most of these hands are complete spew TensRUs. Perhaps think about range construction a little?

Most of guys' volume is 6M, correct?

Just because you play HU doesn't mean you know what you're talking about. Just because your ranges are wider doesn't give you an excuse for them being awful.

If you really want to, please do enlighten me on why what you did is good because my tiny little 6max brain doesn't understand.
