I struggle with these spots, I normally shut down as I'm quite laggy so I get no credit; what's your image to this guy?

gotta love huge negative stretches and seeing 2k hands / hour

dafuq? wheres my 34$?

Fairly unknown, he was just a pretty agro player, I didn't have many hands on him but he had clearly been active in the ones my HUD had tracked.

If this was a standard reg Id have shipped river 100%. On the turn I put him on 99-JJ when he called, I think he was calling river more out of the fact he had an overpair than anything else. You need to build pots though so you can ship river when you do get there.

Still unsure about river spot. I think its okay vs him to just chk if hes more than likely going to call, vs other players would be different.

I think you should jam river. unless this guy has notes on you sayiing you 3bet then bet bet jam with air.

3bet bigger.

I'm hating life, calling behind and expecting to be shown AKdd like 95% of the time

akDD? why would he check flop wit that lol and turn.. I was thinking MAYBE JJ but i think raise/.folding is pretty standard vs a utg rangeI actually ended up misplaying it and just called cuz i was a pussy.. fool had AT

have to raise/fold 77

Because villains line is purely AK/fd line at 10nl and didn't figure it would change much at 25

Few hands to go over. I have a feeling they may be super-standard spots but I also think I had the right idea in mind but didn't execute it the way I wanted.

Hand 1: SB is 24/13/0 over 117 hands. My gut feeling is that they have a big Ax hand and on the river are just trying to get me off a chop rather than having a boat. They could be b/f'ing a 9 here I guess but my feeling when they bet was A-high but I couldn't find the call.



Hand 2: This is one of those spots I hate. UTG1 is 8/8/0 over 87 hands, BTN is 17/13/4.8 over 521. I put them on a squeeze here but I didn't have odds to set-mine and I don't think re-raising/getting it in with TT here given my line would ever have me ahead. I'm not sure how I like the idea of me having raised UTG1 either.



Hand 3: BB is 42/17/0 over only 12 hands. Here I'm not sure I could have gotten any more into the pot but I also hate my bet sizing. I wanted to make my hand look like something that was overbetting to push out a weakish flush cause I didn't have it but I failed to notice my bet was like $0.40 less than his remaining stack so it would never work but I'm wondering if my idea was right or if betting like 1/4 pot to seem really weak would have let him either call or try to shove over me?



Hand 4: MP1 is 22/0/0 over only 23 hands. I'm fairly certain now that this is the definition of a b/f hand right?



Hand 5: Is for the lulz. CO is 33/17/0 over 12 hands. When I saw the showdown I had a WFT moment but looking back I guess he did have an effective oesd so I guess I can almost understand it if he thought my small turn raise was weakness.

Hand 3 Knytestorme, why are we shoving the turn? I think it is much better to check turn hoping he will bluff the river and if he doesnt, we can make a half pot sized value bet which is much more likely to get a call. Whenever Im playing and the baord pairs on the river or a 4th flush card comes and opponent shoves - I feel pretty confident laying down whatever I have cause they always have the nuts *AT uNL*

Hand 2: $2.15 in the post, $9.70 left behind, bet is 80c. you are getting about 15-1 on a call. TT is decent as well, could win unimproved here. Im calling. oh, misread the raise as $1.10 (blind in old age). so fold.

Yeah, it shouldn't have been a shove but I can't think of a sizing that makes it seem we don't have at least a flush in this spot whether we bet large or smallish. I didn't think about checking tbh but I actually see that as a decent option but to c/r shove as I think he has Kd here a lot of the times as played.

I believe my thinking was that I put him on the K/Q flush and wanted to seem as though I had something like a set that was afraid of the flush and wanting to get it in but the flaw with that plan is that if I did have the set I'd want to c/c and hope to pair the board.

hows my sizing please?

More on flop, surely?

Can anyone comment on the difference in play between 6max and full ring? Is there any advantage to 6max apart from higher hands per hour? Especially at 2NL if anyone has decent experience in both.

flop should be a lot bigger

I enjoy 6-max more. Less nut peddling, more crazy fish but more aggression in general and the blinds come round faster...overall my win rate is similar.

Thanks for your advice. Just in a bit of a rut at the moment. 13k hands of FR and I'm up ~22BI's at 2NL so I feel like I shouldn't mess with what is seeming to work, though I'm running so far above EV it's unreal, or if I should try out 6max and see what it's like.

Why the funky 2.5x opens from MP ? Cbets should be bigger in hands 3 and 4, in hand 4 turn is a b/f not c/c.

I don't vary my opening size based on position, and my cbet size is pretty much always the same % of pot as well.

it could be changed at zoom I guess but at non-zoom I don't vary things just because of position or hand strength as regs will take note.

It shouldn't always be the same % of the pot, you should size based mostly on flop texture and stack sizes, i.e. bigger when texture is wet and/or stacks are deeper.

I don't know where you all find players who donk into you and fold to raise, all donks had nuts again vs me..

Also no fold equity in zoom


Villain had 44

Majority of them won't take note. I vary my cbet size quite a bit based on hand strength vs the weaker regs at 100nl, and obv against fish you can like 1/2 pot your air and pot your made hands.

Hmmm, perhaps I can start making small adjustments over time then if that's the case even at that level. I keep figuring at zoom I don't have to worry about playing exploitably for the most part but I still hold myself back from it a fair amount just because I expect the 4-tabling regs will all be running HEM/PT and will become my main opponents over time.

On a different note, anyone got an opinion on if I can reasonably bet this sucker-straight the majority of the time? In all honesty I didn't even see I had the straight and was just checking behind on the river to get my KK to cheap showdown but I'm not sure I could have bet it if I had noticed it anyway, though I don't see a c/r being believable from villain given the way the hand played out. If we do bet and get c/r though what's our play, before reading the results
