When betting 3xbb + 1 extra per limper do you count limpers in front of you (people that just joined and got forced to post blind) ?

Yes

EDIT

I always do, anyway. Chances are they are fish if they don't wait until they have to post a blind, so just treat as any other limper.

what soft are used to record a session? where you can choose to record a microphone sound or just add some music, make some comments?

thx

From other thread:

''Seat 1 was playing LAP although he did have a raising raise playing about 38/10. He had a button steal % of only 25%
shorty seat 2 is a reg in these games plays well has a good bubble play plays a tight TAG style.
other shorty is a nit playing only 5/4.''

2 questions:
1. What doest LAP mean?
2. What does ''playing 38/10'' or ''5/4'' mean?

I feel really dumb for asking but i really don't understand, looks like some kind of staking

It's a betting pool. Whoever goes furthest in the tournament wins.

Kind of like this:

Ah got it thx.

A freeroll tornament blind 2500-5000 ante 400
9 players table. Table average stuck is about 250,000.
I am big blind.My stuck is about 50,000 and I have ATs.
6 players fold. The button(stuck=about 200,000) limp
and SB(stuck=about 200,000)is also limp. And I'm all-in.
Button fold. SB call.

SB's hand is AK.

How can I avoid this situation?
how can I play very well this kind of situation?
Could you please tell me?

Don't shove with 40bb effective stacks?

I mean, if you're over-shoving here because it's a freeroll and you'll get called with much worse, that's fine. But don't start crying when you eventually run into a better hand - You could just as easily run into the bad side of a coin-flip too.

(Standard play here would be to make a regular raise, but again, it's a freeroll...)

BB is 5,000, he has 50,000 in his stack. He have 10BB effective stack, cos 2 other limpers got him covered.

I think it was good play.

Might be a strange question here but i have been dabbling in poker a few years now, i would say im a straightforward player, to perhaps weak-tight.

I put this down to a mental block, because i just seem to not be understanding something.

Been lucky to sweat some mid stakes players and they just seem to know, but cant really explain why.

The problem is when its not a clear decision, the grey area so to speak. So you have a little peice of the board on teh flop or turn, your facing agro and you just dont know where you stand. YOu have no clue to what the other person has.

Now, this might be the holy grail question and if you know then your a winning player But i cant but help talk myself into every hand that beats me, making me weak tight and pretty straight forward to play against.

I'm not sure on how to work on this area of them game (Prob the real question im asking), how to study and improve this area? I enjoy reading poker lit, but for some reason im still stuck in the same area

Thank you for your answering my question.

Yeah, misread hand.

Agree.

Can't believe CMAR missed that, he never makes a mistake.

Ya, good move, he just got unlucky. I guess SB is really tight and didn't wanna tangle w/ the other limper who has same stack? Or trappy thinking BB will shove? What's more likely? The latter I guess?

I have a few questions about the fold equity calculator at http://www.fpppro.com/fold-equity-calculator.php

1. Is the "how much you push" supposed to be the amount you push excluding villains bet? (his stack minus the bet he just made)
2. Is the pot size supposed to be the pot size after the villains bet or before it?

Bet sizing:

NL10. I have QQ EP, Villain - LP 18/15 Tag.
I raise x3bb, He 3bets x13,5bb.
What's the 4bet?

He 5bets 1,5%. So, I kinda want to 4bet/fold to 5bet shove. (Can I?)
But if I 4bet x24bb (I suppose it's a standard 4bet size to a x9bb 3bet), it looks like button clicking. If I 4bet more, I have to call anything, right?

oo it's so nice

Are there statistic indicators that analyze not actions but some kind of factor of money?

For example the average amount of the pot player participated on turn is about~ 20bb. But now it's 40bb that make us think that opponent has a good hand.

Are there something useful that's based on the amount of money in the pot~ or amount of money player bets?

A player flops a set HU against TPTK. How big will the pot be?

Thinking of getting back into nl. Not sure what to read, any recommendations?

Currently have following ebooks:
How to read hands at nl

Unless you had any reads on the opponent 3betting loose and big, I'd probably just fold. The amount he 3bet to is pretty much comitting, he's obviously planning on shipping it in if you 4bet. Not to mention the fact that he's tight and he's raising an EP open. Think about it for a second, if he wants to 3bet UTG for example, he has to have a pretty strong indicator that you will a) fold or b) have a strong hand that you're ready to call a shove with.

Next time, try to figure out how much he 3bets, that's the most important thing here. If his 3bet is 10 or over, you can 4bet/call. If it's around 3 to 6 you're probably looking at a value hand.

Things to consider are your image at the table, how much he 3bet you during the session and how he usually 3bets. But to answer your original question, no, you can't really 4bet-fold.

Most poker books are a waste of time, you're much better of just getting a membership at DeucesCracked or CardRunners. Both have a ton more material than any book you can find.

If you can't afford a membership, use YouTube. A good series to really study is "Concepts to crushing SSNL".

When on an iPoker network skin such as Titan or Bet365, do you have access to all the tables on the network or does each skin have separate traffic?
