Preflop 3bets are taken way more seriously I have found, possibly cos its the micros, so if you bet UTG in a full ring, then the CO 3bets the donks are more likely to call the 3bet from UTG because they have been waitong a while for the action to get round to them so they have a "well Ive waited ages so Im going to call with any 2" mentality, whereas in 6max it doesnt take as long for the action to return to them so they fold a lot more. Thats my theory on it anyway, but they def do respect your 3bet alot more in the 6maxs.

Thanks Dunna100 PM sent

IT also seems that theres almost no point taking notes. The player pool is so large at NL2 and NL5 I almost never run into the same person and most of the time its always vs an unknown

its just good practice to make notes. you will see people again and again. get good at it at low stakes and it will pay dividends.

Yeah I probably use notes more than my HUD at 50nl, and thats still a fairly big player pool.
And on 6Max vs FR, I prefer 6max becuz there seems to be less face up spots (ie you open UTG FR your range is soo narrow) so If you can handread well then you can pown harder.
Also easier to iso fish.

Had another great session at NL10, don't think my red line has ever been that good before!

There was hardly any tough spots in that session so feel like I have a pretty solid game for NL10 atm so hopefully this good spell will continue!

I'm finding hitting sets with PPs comes around nice and quickly, as do KK and AA, just a bummer when this happens:

Not folding a FH 65bb deep ever. AJ, KJ, QJ, J9 etc since villian looks bad. Plus slow played QQ, KK, AA

Baluga says that if you get raised on the turn, you should evaluate the strength of your one pair hand. Now, it doesn't mean you should always fold, it says you should think about it. If you have TPTK it might still be good, if the turn is a scare card that may get villains to bluff their air or weaker one pairs, you could call. But if the turn is an irrelevant blank that doesn't change anything, then he probably has a set or a strong draw.

Yeah this. Also doesn't apply in low SPR situations like 100bb 3bet pots or vs shortstack fish. Also, though it's not explicit, doesn't apply so much when the flop is checked through.

does it get any sexier than playing potentially like a chump preflop and then getting it all in with a 71% equity when behind?

Yeah, this is why 3betting OOP is generally a bad idea, if you only do it with AA & KKds etc. Villain is in a world of trouble playing his hand face up OOP.

Zomg, zomg, zomg man I loves da Zoomz!!

Took a 12BI shot at 5nl on my Zoom grind challenge. 5nl is no different, you just make more from bad players.

Gotta love this hand though!

Too nitty to flat OTR?
Too stupid to Cbet with 3 villains in the hand?

Bad bet sizing on flop?
