Should have gone 23 on the flop.

Yes chad think more about betsizing in every hand

I thought you want to consider stacks more

Looks like you only do that preflop

corrected by chad. pass me the rope

Had a 2.5k stack at 1/2 live at one point last night crazy game. Left with 1750 +1250 nice way to recover from online

Seems like V has something like AThh, or just wants to see a cheap river/showdown. Think it's wp imo.

Btw nice recovery and welcome back Chosen, the quality of your posts have been improving ever since

Yeah by river I think you have to fold but I probably would lean towards just folding this flop. Until I learn the villain in questions tendencies better.

easy flop fold

Hi everyone, i want to ask some ( probably stupid beginner ) questions. I'm playing at FTP RUSH NL5 FullRing tables, i like it, but i want to beat it. Right now i'm down about 100$. So here's the questions:

1. About starting hands. What can you suggest to read, or idn, to advise from your experience? Right now i'm playing something like that:
UTG: ATs+, AJo+, KQ, 22+
MP(SB,BB): A2s+, ATo+, 98s+, 22+
CO: A2s+, A7o+, broadways, 76s+, 22+
BU: A2+, broadways, 75s+, 54s+, K2s+, 22+
But this hands only for raising, when unopened or someone limped in.

2. I'm 3BETting only with AA, AK, KK, sometimes QQ, JJ. Is it bad or ok?

3. Premium hands ^^^ i'm trying not to slowplay and almost always trying not to bluff, because i heard that it's worthless in RUSH NL5. True story?

Look a few posts up and you'll see this was just discussed

You shouldn't 'never bluff' just do it in the right way at the right time and always have a plan for what to do next

@ChosenOne - if u have enough history with villain then just do some line analysis on him in hem as he's likely to have static ranges

so what fd's do we call the flop with? nfd?

edit: i have no reads/stats/info to what he c/r's/raises cbets with, if we give him only sets, dont we call bcos implied odds?

i dont find it. about starting hands , maybe you talking about http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...ostcount=10056 so in this post it is only the question, but no answer.

If hypothetically we are putting him on only sets here and we believe villain is incapable of folding said sets. On a board with three cards with the same suit, then yes you would be getting the right odds to complete your hand. Though in your description you explained you didn't know what villain could be reraising this flop with. For all I know he could be doing this with better draws completely diminishing our outs. We just don't know and until I don't want to make bold declarations as to what I hope he does.

Sorry for it being a bit long winded but do you also think he is never capable of folding a set, when the third card to the suit comes in?

value or bluff?

depends on my size but other than that idk but yeah it makes sense to not chase draws when we arent even sure of our implied odds

ive been playing for 2 years, had 2 very long goals/challenges threads and this has only come up now :/

^ have u done much work away from the table? I don't mean just posting hands, but working on the maths, ranges etc? Sub to a coaching site?

has to be for value cause turning AJ into a bluff here would be awful. Guessing he's hoping for a call from worse Jx and maybe lower pairs since he reps so thin.

Also, everyone should read this if you haven't already
