looks like you can't beat anything, I would have folded pf

It's pretty close on the call pre flop. I dont like that UTG has to act after you - what do you do if he 4bets to $10 or something? with 3 people in the pot I think you probably just about have the right odds to setmine. I spose. Im not convinced though. If you called pre to setmine, why are you continuing on the flop? why do you check raise the turn? are you trying to get him to fold better? (bluffing) or with the hope of being called by worse? Which hands do you think are better than yours that will fold and which hands worse than yours will call?

Flatting is okay if you're setmining (assume BTN is unknown since you are new to zoom?) but you have to fold otf. Very few cbet a flop 3way in a 3bet pot without a hand, most people would be giving up after getting two callers if they had air.

When you flat you have to have a plan for the rest of the hand, what boards you are continuing on etc. Against unknown pretty easy fold otf imo.

Coldcalling 3bets OOP with no reads on villains is meh, you don't know if UTG starts shipping it and you're OOP even if he folds and unless BTN is really aggro, he's only 3betting UTG opens for value because UTGs range is usually very tight (like <7% of hands)
Think fold>4bet>call unless we have good reads on BTN/UTG

+ your hand is pretty face up when you just flat the flop bet (wouldn't you 4bet AA/KK or at least try to get it in on such a drawy board?)

Bet sizing of BTN looks really weird though what is he trying to achieve with those small 1/2 psb on such a wet board? You think he's double barreling AK?

froty - if you 4bet and he shoves, are you folding? I thought we werent supposed to do that.

I would tend to fold unless I have reads on villain. If not I can find better spots elsewhere.

I'm not 4betting this unless I think he's shoving/calling worse, and I would not get it in preflop

I'd just open shove about any flop, like this:


Villain 24/19/19.4 over 100 hands, 3betting 38% from BB vs steal, foldto4bet 0% (4)

Since he's super loose and he's never folding to 4bets we can easily call or ship here, I was hopeing he's continueing his QK AJ kind of hands on low flops and getting in the rest

Seems kind of stupid to call his 5bet to donk shove otf? What's the thinking here? You also got a pretty good flop for your hand, most of the time you're going to have absolutely no idea where you are so I think if you really think he's FOS just 6bet shove.

As for UTG ranges being very tight, I don't think this is as true for 6max as full-ring, but then again I don't have any sample and haven't followed > 2man games for a long time. Thought people were 2.2x'ing wide from all positions now though, these days.

Thanks a lot for the responses guys, appreciate it a lot.

When I look back at this hand I have no idea why I didn't shove.. Villain called me "idiot" after I bet on turn







Anyone folding this? Villain was a maniac. Prolly bad check on the turn but the reason of checking is that they call so light or spazz on river when I bet, check, bet.

lol at villain 56/11






tanked for 100 seconds and called in the end cause hes an agrro fish and his line make absolutely no sense, would have been sick to see TT or 8x there

Nh, why are you stealing with 84o vs a 56/11 aggro fish though?

6-max. I can't mass multi-table so have gone the other way and only 2-table, 6-max lets me get in lots of marginal spots with the TAGfish which I love (you can see in the graph where I dropped from 3/4 tabling to 2 tabling, huge impact on winrate).

Working on my mental game. good job.

Mainly because I forgot to check the blinds before i stole haha. It is late and its been a long day at the tables

First 2 hands are really unlucky chad but why did you 3b w KQs in the 3rd hand? Isnt it just asking for trouble when you have to play OOP if called.

Whenever I see someone open for 2x, I always get the feeling they have a ****hand because they're not willing to commit the additional big blind. I think I'm usually right about this, except for the times when they min4bet. I hate those guys. I hate those guys!

I'll always open for 3x, regardless of position. What can I say, I'm a creature of habit.

can a winning zoom player please answer this?

assuming fr game against unknown villain with full stacks each. with AK or QQ in the cutoff, but or blinds. and assume we have zero hands on villain on anything. you steal, and they 3 bet, is this a 4bet/ship every time scenario? or should this be a calling for value spot?

I don't see too much wrong with hand 3. A 3-bet will likely fold out the SB and BTN is quite short. At .01/.02 you will often be called by a lot worse and can get your TP2K in against shorty by the turn (as done). If BTN was deeper or had a high fold to 3-bet I would consider calling and playing some post flop poker.

I think he might talk himself into calling a shove and it would suck to go for 54% equity 193bb deep
I like shipping the flop here because he can't really like any flops (not even A or K high flops getting 4bet and his 5bet called)

But I think shoveing pre is fine too, I'm never folding after 4betting that maniac

I am beating 5nl for 12bb/100 over 9k hands, should I move up?

Although I am susceptible to tilt, I feel like I can beat higher limits.



here is my garph. You be the judge!

Nice monkey tilt at 29k hands where u took a shot at a higher limit.. But if u have like at least 25 buyins for NL10 u should take a shot there.


First time 5 tabling .. 5th was just NL2 .. trying it out to c if i can do it

i lold at this hand tho, bet small to induce min raise then min reraise urself with the nuts:

uhmm all standard play except maybe for kqs against 50bb? Unless you are calling a shove or have a good read, I just don't see why 3b against shorty.

I see why you're struggling with zoom and it's not because of Kqs hand.

yes bro. I was having financial problems while having to wait for my stupid licence. I decided that it wasn't worth grinding the pennies so I played HU 10nl tables but I wasn't losing my money fast enough. moved up to 100huplo. The rest is history.

Looks like he lost a ~9,000bb pot quickly followed by winning a ~12,000bb pot, sounds like a standard day at NL5 to me.

All those hands can't be at NL5, even some of the swings earlier in the graph are far too big for NL5. Looks like you can move up in stakes, I'm working on my tilt issues too and it's not easy. I downloaded tiltbreaker to try the trial out, it's pretty good if you have no self control like myself.
