I am aware of these kind of calculatons. I might be posting only for 3-4 weeks now, but I've been reading the forums for quite a long time (started over a year ago).
I will rephrase my question. Is it possible to play against so bad players at these low limits that they totally misunderstand the role of blind play? I have a strong feeling that the average player at this level only knows that he/she should open from the blind more often but then all of his/her knowledge is doomed.
I see people opening from the button, I call with J9o cause he's opening with 78% of his hands, why not. And then I totally miss the flop, yet, I still call his cbet, than he checks OTR, I bet and he folds. Another common spot is where I spot villain uses a bet size/timing that he only uses when he's got a hand but I raise anyway OTF, he calls and I donk bet OTR, he folds, "waiting for a better spot".
So once more, I'm not asking whether is it profitable against good opponets at NL 100-1k. I know there is only a small edge at those limits, if any, where position plays a significant role. My question is, should I really take it as low sample size where I've been lucky, or are people actually this bad at these stakes?
Thank you for your answers by the way .)

small sample size

Hello,
I had no idea where to ask this so I'm posting it here :

Does anyone know who are the best Pokerstars regulars who play Zoom 100 NL and higher?

My biggest leak is by far the 3-bet pots and I'd like to improve by watching them (since almost every single big pot in the replayer at those stakes is a 3-bet pot) but I have no idea who to look up to since I'm not playing at those stakes.

(I'm not a beginner or anything but information on how to play well in 3-bet pots is incredibly scarce everywhere so learning from watching good players is as good a way as any)

EDIT : I don't necessarily need "the best", any good regulars will do, and I'd like to get as many usernames as possible.

Thank you for reading this

Seems kind of pointless as you don't have the information they have at the time. Whereas if you pay YOUR hands, you can tell us what you know, what you were thinking and advice can be tailored to your circumstances.

Besides, 100NL is imo beyond the scope of BQ

can someone tell me what the abreviation BB&V stands for?
thanks

Brags, beats, and variance

I play 3-bet pots almost the same way I play single raised ones (cbetting 1/2 to 2/3 pot about 35% of the time OOP and defending my checks for instance) whereas the players at higher stakes seem to be playing completely differently (they seem to cbet almost their entire range for 1/3 pot on the flop). I figure the good regulars must be somewhat balanced when they bet the river so even without their information I could still learn quite a lot.

Thank you for the answer anyway.

How do i go about sending someone a PM on here? It says my account isnt allowed to as of yet? Any help would be appreciated

Answer is HERE, Joe

@Kingspew Thanks, appreciate the help!

Forgive me but is there a faster way to estimate this equation that doesn't turn it into a multi-step algebra problem for those of us not blessed with a math-centric brain? I too have often wondered about the "we only need to be good here X% of the time to call" formula and I'd love to be able to guestimate it a bit better.

he asked how they are worked out. you don't actually work it out at the table, you just know that even if he bets america's national debt into a $1 pot it's about 50%, if it's a pot bet it's 33%, if it's half pot it's 25%, and it scales in between

Super helpful, thank you

Built $10 into $200 though I did so by risking putting my entire (tiny) bank roll on the line.

I currently have all of my money on one table (4x the buy-in) and am mostly playing ABC poker to the best of my ability. One of my biggest blindspots at the moment is health as I'm playing too long without breaking / exercising. Having an addictive personality seems challenging with a game like poker.

The proper move would likely be to leave the table and grind the $10 NL tables, no?

The gambler in me wants to keep playing higher stakes in an attempt to profit higher. The site I'm playing on feels relatively soft at the $50 NL level (or maybe I'm running good).

Thanks for reading.

Play either 5NL or 10NL not what you are doing. If you can beat the games it will become apparent and you can increase slowly as your bankroll allows.

The proper move would be to take a break, if poker is even the game for you

Damn. I am up even more and I'm going to cultivate the discipline to take a ****ing break. The enquiry around poker being the game for me or not is vitally poignant.

Health, happiness and strength in life are of the utmost importance. If anything in one's life is not contributing to said attributes, is there any value in it?

My ideal is to play in a way that honors the needs of my mind/body/spirit, my desire to be of service to others and my commitment to show up in the lives of my friends and family.

Clearly, you've helped me answer my own question. I am thankful. See you around.

Hi, I'm looking for anyone with experience playing 8 tables of Zoom on a single 4k monitor. I prefer my tables to be quite large and I'm wondering if I can get away with having a single monitor or if I need two.

The monitor may be anywhere 27" and up. Any thoughts? Pics of setup would be super awesome (with 8 tables open) if anyone has that.

Need help. I was Wondering what kind of factors contribute to pre-flop raises, i.e. what position, how much to raise, how it differs between tournaments and cash games, and how much equity I get based on the price.

If anyone out there is generous enough to help, I would really appreciate it.

The type of players that you're facing has to be considered as well, especially players that act after you. If the player on your left has been playing a lot of hands, that will affect your decisions. A loose player will be more likely to call or raise your bet than someone who folds more often.

What would be the easiest way to calculate equity of a hand on the flop against various
but specific opponent holdings?

Say I have a gutshot and backdoor flush draw on the flop, and wanted to see my equity against pairs higher than 7's, or something arbitrary like that. Is this something I can calculate with PokerRanger?

Equilab. Plug in the hands and board and run the calculation.

You can't do something specific like, "All pairs greater than 7's"? I want to see specifically for pairs.

I want to read all of Galfond's and Dwan's old posts. How do you see more than the last 250 posts? I once tried to find their post histories using Google but they are nowhere to be found. Is there any way to read the old site or the archive?
