expert flop check.

deucescracked. I recommend pr1nnyraiding (except the first episode maybe..or watch it, but skip the part on opening ranges, it's way too tight (30%)).
Also, start at nl50 or nl100 on another site, party rake is high and "rakeback" is ****. It's only worth it if you find a big fish, really.

COME ON!

congrats, you misplayed all three hands.

This.

Hand 1 villain had a really low 3bet so i didn't feel like 4-betting and getting it in after opening UTG. I don't like calling either, but folding seemed weak. I'm not sure about turn, his value range just seemed so thin as I really didn't expect to see a 5.

Hand 2 villain had low fold to 3bet(~50) and was floaty so I went for the c-r, maybe bet-call is still betetr though but it can't be that much better?

Hand 3 flop betsize could be larger but what am I supposed to do on the turn other than that? Check-fold?

yeah maybe I ****ed up the hands but at least tell me how

LOL at saying this without knowing his reasons or his opponents.

just betting too small, pretty much. And I don't really like getting it in with AK against a nit, but calling OOP just to hit seems even worse (and besides, it's sooted!)
2nd one, you should make your OOP 3bets larger, you're giving too good odds for your opponents to see a flop and outplay/outdraw you. the standard size is around 3.5x, fwiw. For squeezes, around 4x is good imo (and standard, too).
And again, bet more on the flop in 3 bet pots... around 2/3rds (make it the same all the time). SO around 16$ in hand 2 and 22$ in hand 3.

Checking the turn in hand 2 is pretty much opponent-specific btw, so that can be a good play



//completely unrelated: @ Pokerhat: sorry for not answering in the chat earlier, it took me a minute to realize what you were saying (for my defense, I've been grinding myself stupid for a few days) ^^

/QUOTE]

Why make it the same every flop, that seems terrible. Vary depending on nature of the board, and adjust this depending on the opponent (ie. don't need to balance vs fish). On those particular boards half pot is pretty bad.

vs fish you can of course vary your bet size, but vs regs, i prefer betting the same amount all the time.. you don't need to protect half as much as you do in single-raised pots (implied odds are low anyway, and there's usually less drawing hands possible).
I don't like betting less than 2/3rds because i'd be giving too good implieds, and anything more doesn't leave them enough space to bluff (be it a dry or wet board)


btw, pretty much every reg does this...

is there a way to track your PP pts each day or you have to trust/take note of them ?

i note them, but if you're not aiming for a very precise figure, you can trust what they say on the promotion page. OR, you can just look at your raked hands in HEM and look up on the PP chart how many points that equals. but that may be imprecise

**** games are way harder at like midnight my time and later.

ffs, i just play half a session to get to 1k points, and 20mins later I've passed from +530$ for the day to -30$. For once I was going to have an okayish winning day

yeah this is a major leak of a lot of ssnl regs. 1/2 pot >>>>> 2/3 pot 100bbs deep. i think naaka's betsizing in hand 2 and 3 is perfect.

why? because he was the biggest winner in my database for august? you know i've posted the winners for the past 3-4 months

i only regocnize you and i play quite a lot. I guess they are like canucks or something and therefore playing exactly the opposite hours or something

because I belive u said some time ago that u were a 5+ ptbb/100 winner at NL100 and that makes me think that u very likely could be Kazim

i played vs this fish thousands of hands so i dont think was a bad flop check because in his range has only medium pocket pairs and i dont get 3 streets of value or broadway hands.
i dont say is best line i can bet fold flop too but it's not so awfull like u said.

this is in 3bet pot?

if it is 1/2 pot is way better. its cheaper on flop if you miss and if you want to play for stack, 1/2 pot still gets all the money in by river. also people fold 2/3 as much as 1/2 pot, maybe slightly less.

also when i said expert flop check i actually meant it. his UTG limps (+ your read which im not aware of) indicates low PP. admittedly you played super perfect against him getting his stack in way ahead pf and on turn.
