depends on the board, usually between 50% and 90% PSB on the flop, then 50-100% PSB on the turn, depends on villains and boards, if I think they're still drawing I'll make it sometimes >100% pot to make them pay for their draw

Yes you will still have your ftps

Had my first session zoom session today (me like ), but my HUD had problems keeping up.

Was just wondering if this happends to everyone or if it`s something else?

I use HEM1 btw.

check the HEM FAQ on its web site to fix the zoom problems ^

ive always disliked hem, pt has never gave me headaces like hem did.

turn off pre fetch one hand.

What are you supposed to do in spots like this? guy is 29/19 over 200 hands. At what point should I have thought in this hand "Oh he probably has a higher pair than me" ? Pretty confusing. This kind of thing came up twice yesterday and both times I was bamboozled.

Is it just me or is 10nl zoom really aggressive? Even the fish seem to be more aggro than passive.

I did my first 5bet bluff shove today and it worked.

I found 10nl Zoom *very* aggressive compared to 5nl.

Well i'd have played it the same way. He can be value cutting himself with Tx as well especially with that sizing.

It's UTG and his range may be strong. I don't find many Tx in his range, AT only, and like 3 suited ones. Against his over pairs, full house, quad on the river I would fold. Too many strong value hands in there.
I fodl on the river unless I know he often 3-barrels with air like AK AQ.
What do you think?

Ok I got some hands, please take a look:

I didn't want to turn my AJs into a bluff so I called IP.
w/ TPTK I call easily 2 barrels, but the river looks strong. He goes AI with overbet and it looks like made flush or full house to me, or even AA, KK, QQ so I have to fold.

River I have to call having great odds, he may have flush, but worse hands as well, I guess.

WHat do you think about 2 barrels in this hand? He should fold all his trash, pockets. I also get value from some suited connectors with my K high.

Don't think i'm ever folding to a HPSB but any larger I think I would let it go on the river.


H1: nothing much to say, pretty standard. Good fold on the riv.

H2: On the riv I think you kind of have to call. If he had more behind I would be more inclined to call if it was a diamond that would make a worse 2pair but since he only has 1/3 P left your pretty committed to a call.

H3: Like the Cb and the size but don't like the barrel. He is never folding Ax or FD and you don't have any equity. I would barrel if we have KQdd or maybe if the turn was a non spade J. A 2 is a bad card to barrel unless of course if brings us the flush draw.

I feel so sick

Pretty weird not sure what he could have there thats gets him so mad on the river unless he got tricky on the turn with 7x or checks back FD, might not even fold FD on river.

thats what i thought, i was like only the thing hes crying here with is a flush which i believe he just barrels on the turn

Probably a FD that he checked back because of the paired board.

Playing poker again for first time in ages, running hot hot hot.

how long is ages? since wednesday?

Chad, that JJ hand is fine - with his sizing you can just snap it off everytime.

For people talking about 10NL being more aggressive than 5NL; the games get more aggressive (and therefore harder) each time you move up ldo. 10NL is more aggressive than 5NL, 25NL is quite a lot more aggressive than 10NL and 50NL is a ridiculously aggressive compared to 25NL.

i do think the difference in aggression is magnified in peoples head when they shot take and think its way more aggressive then it actually it

So its safe to say as you move up in limit you more inclined to bluff catch more often than not so the variance and red line should go up

when I played 25nl a little while back, it was almost never folded to me in the BTN or SB. 3bets were about twice as frequent. Steals were 3bet an overwhelming percentage of the time. etc. etc.

you cant really put it as simple as that. I could argue i shoud bluff catch a lot more the lower i go because people suck at vbetting so bluff to value ratio becomes larger. Its just all player dependent and sitiuation dependent


then this is just varience/in your head. it gets folded to me alot at 200nl when im on the btn. You get 3b a bit more but not huge amounts. Majority of regs just have 3b up to about 8/9%. ofc you get the occasional lagtard with 3b's of 13% but its not that often

ah ok then. it was a pretty small sample.
