No, makes it a lot easier though.

plus...if you ever think you will want to use in the future...what better place to learn how to use a HUD than at the lowest stakes?

right. thanks. I'll probably bonus whore my way at some small euro site to get PT or HEM. Don't really feel/worth like buying it.

Figured this belonged here as it's quite a common spot - should I be betting this river vs unknown? I figured my line is quite bluffy so he'll 'bluff-catch' with pairs a fair bit:

PartyGaming - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: $3.34
BTN: $3.94
Hero (SB): $2.00
BB: $0.84
UTG: $1.22
UTG+1: $0.84
MP: $0.37
MP+1: $0.61

Hero posts SB $0.01, BB posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has 6 6

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to $0.08, Hero calls $0.07, fold

Flop: ($0.18, 2 players) A 6 Q
Hero bets $0.16, BTN calls $0.16

Turn: ($0.50, 2 players) J
Hero checks, BTN checks

River: ($0.50, 2 players) 2
Hero bets $0.24, fold

I'm never calling here without a flush and I wouldn't take this line against anyone who isn't a known station and therefore can call with worse.

Okay, let's change things around a bit - against a better player, do we bet here to stop him bluffing? After checking two streets we never have a (big) flush.

Why would we want to stop him bluffing?

Because at this stage of the hand it seems that his betting range would consist of too many made hands for us to call (as presumably he'll check behind with pairs etc.) - something which he presumably knows which would make his bluff +EV for him, whereas if we bet our set we can either fold out better hands (low flushes) or get thin value from worse hands, depending on how he's feeling.

Or have I gone wrong somewhere?

Does anyone know how to buy chips in PokerStars using paypal?

you can't. You have to use your credit card, or MB or neteller. 2p2 also doesn't advice using paypal for online gaming on most sites.

thinking of withdrawal some of my fund's in Stars to bonus whore at other sites (through pokersavvy). What do you think is the best way to transfer funds while bearing the least costs? I'm currently thinking through moneybookers/skrill, but heard that the costs are extremely high. Neteller looks good imho.

May I know why is it not good to use Paypal?

too many cases of fraud? I'm not sure. This thread will help. tl;dr

it's basically so easy to reverse transactions on paypal, they can scam you months after you complete transfers

Who are the best 180 and MTTs coaches out there right now?

Luckboxed a 22$ buy in on merge when I had 30$ in my account. I usually play cash tilted ( after losing 16 bi at 10nl 18 tabling) and realized donkaments were for me. I have always done well at live donkaments ( up about 3k after playing about 20, 20$ + tourneys) and seem to have done well at the online one. My question is, is a 50x bi rule still apply( been years since i read a brm thread) and how much variance are we talking about for tournaments? I mean is 12 str8 (online) without a cash standard?

Also can anyone point me to some threads on ICM

Is it better to c bet on a wet board or dry?

That's a big topic, so the short answer is "it depends". But assuming you want them to fold, you are more likely to succeed on a dry board, so we are more likely to c-bet a dry board.

A good spot to C-bet depends on whether you're c-betting as a bluff or for value.

As a bluff, you don't want to be called, so good spots to c-bet as a bluff are spot where you are the least likely to be called.

Some factors that make it so you're less likely to be called:

- 1 villain instead of 2 or more.
- You having a tight image.
- The board being dry.
- etc.

In addition, regardless of the chance of you being called, having outs to improve, making your c-bet a semi-bluff instead of a bluff, should make you c-bet more often.

Also remember to be aware of way ahead/way behind spots.

There's TONS of stuff on continuation betting on the forums already. Check this subforum's FAQ - specially number 40: "Threads to get me started". Also check the micro no limit stickies, both FR and 6-max.

The hypothetical 'best board to cbet with air' looks something like K72r because everyone puts you on AK, and people are much more likely to play Ax than Kx, so it's unlikely they have anything. (simplified explanation, but it'll do)

what is reason for forum to be name two plus two maybe just?

Waited 24hrs, Just gonna withdraw my money

This has been asked a million times.

What does it mean when they say the villian stats are xx/yy

So played 65 hands and villian is 32/18 or whatever.

Thanks
