Gamma: yep, decent chance CO is fish given he's unknown to you and has raised 2/2, if this is true then SB will call his shove a little wider.

So yeh i press call but i'm not loving it

^^ H1: I might call I might fold depending on the read i have on the villain and timing tells ect. Both are fine because a lot of fishy villains will do this when the hit two pair, just because he donks doesn't necessarily mean he hit the straight. But either or is fine depending on your read IMO.

H2: wp maybe just slightly larger raise than $3??

H3: when you 3b go atleast 3x. 2.5 just gives him to good odds since he minraised. 2.5x is slightly different when it is 3xed by the original raiser. When you 5B dont min raise it make it MUCH larger. You are against two fish make them pay. Make it at least 2$.

H4: wp love the call on the turn to let him bluff the riv.

H5: Cb this board. There are loads of cards you can barrel(any club, A,T,K and maybe a J). As played nice bet and sizing on the turn. On the riv when you overbet you probably could go even larger. I love the overbet but you could probably go 2.5xPot and still get calls from the same range.

like $4,5(?) or could I just shove?

Yeah, wasn't to sure about sizing. But on this limit a lot of weak shortstacks tend to spazz off and seen them get it in with A9s A4s,
Maybe there getting good odds, but they're so wide in that spot, I have them crushed with KK.
Just want it to make it small enough to induce spew, prolly should made it bigger tho.

I don't remember, but was probably distracted at another table. I agree that is a Cbet 90% of time.
Part of the reason of the overbet was because i didn't Cbet that flop, my line seems bluffy; i'm repping some weird slowplayed set or runner runner BDFD that i didn't bet out.

villain 26/18/3.8 over ~150 hands. I havent seen him get out of line so far.



Hero action? Anything else about the play of this hand?

this is what I mean about repeating the same mistakes time and again...

why would you cbet so small on the flop?

I think you played the river well, trying to eek out a call from some Qx/2 pair kind of hands, and then definitely a fold

I bet small on the flop because the board is super dry. I bet more on the turn because there are now draws out there. Please explain what you mean by same mistakes again and again, I dont know what the mistake is here - other than your assertion that the flop bet is too small.

You're right in thinking that you're going to fold out a ton of hands on this dryish board when you Cbet. However with a big value hand like a set, your aim is to stack-off, so you have to Cbet big to start building a pot.
His calling range wouldn't change much if you bet HP/1P, so you should always bet big.

more on flop

riv - as played fold. I usually level myself in these spots into calling because we've got virtually no 5's in our range but he's got quite a few, but most villains probably don't realise this

callin multiway with ATs is fine. Even if it is oop.
1) 2nl people suck at vbettin, so you're prob going to get a cheap showdown even when you do flop Ax
2) theyre stations and u have the possibility to draw to a flush.

also buy in for 100bb's





just be super exploitative at micros. bet like 80-100% pot with nuts, bet half pot as bluff. Nobody is going to be exploiting you. (talking about flop)

is 1P just 1 x pot sized bet? Please explain why his calling range doesnt change much regardless of HPB/PB. Thanks for your helpful comment.

More on flop because why? Please explain the emboldened part of your post. Thanks.

Seriously? So all the stuff about wet/dry etc. is out the window til what? 25nl? higher?

Multiquoting Like a Boss! (finally)

50nl, thats when people start noticing things

a large reason why people are at the nanostakes (including not being able to vb well) is they call down too much when they have a piece of it. So you exploit that by betting large with all ur made hands, and bet halfpot with your non-made hands because they fold when they completely miss.

you are missing a heap of money if you always bet so tiny.
He's calling any Qx regardless of your cbetsize unless it's some overbet
He'll be calling pocket pairs 77 / 99 / TT / JJ
He'll call some 8x kind of hands (albeit not many)
there are a few straight draws out there, so charge them

His calling range when you cbet so small won't be much wider to justify that size

It may seem like a small difference but if you bet bigger on the flop it'll be much easier to get stacks in on the river if the board doesn't run out as ugly as
was the case now.

We must have played quite a few hands together. If you want I'm willing to check if I see a pattern of some huge mistake you're making if you PM me your SN. Of course I'll send mine back...

.

more on the flop because he'll call with an 8x and any qx (and other worse hands) anyway so we get more value. May seem like a small difference on the flop but it will allow us to bet much larger on later streets as well.

regarding str8s in each range (mis-read 1st time round thought only 5's made a straight)

opening UTG you'll have fewer 5's and tens than him assuming you're opening a fairly tight range and he's flatting a fairly wide range on the button.

But like i said i doubt villains at this level realise this so i wouldn't worry about them bluff raising

oh and don't get into the habit of betting an inducing size if you'll have to fold to a raise.

Bet more on the river......

I pretty much raise this weak looking bets when the board get super scary like that river. However, it shout not stop u from abetting 50-65%.. they will call with all kinds of trash hands

ok. thanks for your help. I will bear this in mind as I *CRUSH* 5nl.

this hand made me pause my session because i was lost trying to figure all the stats out.



so if i wanted to use math to figure this out do i'm getting 1.7 to 1 for my money. I know 2 to 1 is like 33% good of the time . So can I guesstimate 28% good for 1.7 to 1? Villain opens 10% of hands in EP so out of the 10% he continues with stove says my KcQs will be 30% good of the time. Or 400 sample size hands is just not enough to be bluffing catching in this spot?

so if WTSD is higher than 30% he's more likely full of it right?
but if W$SD is high, then you better have a strong range at showdown right?
although if his WWSF is high, then he's getting away with a lot of pots uncontested
And his aggression frequency on the river is low, so does that mean he rarely bluffs river and only bets for val?

just fold river
You don't want to be bluff catching here
the cbet is debatable some what as this board will hit quite a bit of his range
and i wouldnt go 75% pot just stick to 50%

^ many thanks

I mean i flatted for a reason right? having "relative position" by flatting maybe I could fold here? I mean I could have went all in, unless I was inducing a shove like this... but i guess he can never be bluffing in this spot if he has nitty stats right? 15/9/1.8 158 hands

i probably fold the 33

and QT well i aint folding lol

you should probably fold to his 3bet pre, looking at his stats hes more likely to out play you post flop. he just looks like an aggro monkey
and hes not likely to fold anything given how strong his 3bet range is
