should I just flat the river overbet as he's kind of polarized?

dont know if anyone has posted this but noahsd has written an interesting article on variance in 6m

you should just c/r the flop assuming he's a nit and unlikely to barrel you

i can't believe he would check the turn with KK/77 so are you putting him solely on 88?

edit: just noticed the river overbet - this polarizes him quite a bit on the river and probably weights him towards missed value type hands no? i might be inclined to just flat and think that a nit probably isn't calling a c/r with worse

Mmh my thought process was along the lines that I fold out the majority of his range by checkraising the flop. Nits "pot control" turns here with a lot of Kx hands (even AK) so river is an easy check as played. A viable option would thus be to take the lead on the turn but I don't know if it's more +EV than checking given that I can cr turn or river if he keeps on betting (depending on card/betsizing). Given the river overbet I think I should've just flatted. I can very well imagine him "tarping" w/ 22/77/KK on the turn. However I don't see him having the balls to 3b bluff hardly ever even if he did decide to overbet river with a whiffed fd.

you do fold out most of his range but you end up stacking a range of hands that you otherwise only make 20-30ish bbs from by c/cing, and keeping that weak range in does not really get more value from bluffs and weak hands anyway because nits don't barrel much

I tend to agree that no one 3b bluffs river at these stakes but the question is, is he smart enough to know that 3betting worse than 77 for value is terrible?

was it in the cheese thread that someone posted about how you can setup your HEM to seperate into sessions when you take small breaks in between your sessions but it records it all together as one session? how to do, or link to post? or who posted it?

Don't know who but I just did it today so here's how it works.

Go to your Hem folder (RVG software in program files) then go to the config folder. go to holdemmanager.config (something like that), open it with note pad and hit CTRL F. Type in time, hit enter, go to "SessionTimeoutDuration=30" and make it 5 or whatever you want it to be.

best scientific discover in the history of mankind?

balancing his utg 4bet/folding range with 25bbs

3rd level thinking obviously - he clearled outplayed you

Isn't that an article from The Onion?

Swingy month so far.



I hope the trend of the last 2.5k hands continues for the rest of the month.

I'd kill for a swingy graph right now.

hand vs an obvious fish, small sample size vs him, only read is that he is likely to be splashy and erratic. 45/23. sample size on his 3 bets too small to give me any good info.

I've just about always called these flops bets. Wondering if raise/stack off is actually better with this specific hand?

i think i tend to call there as a default, but i imagine raising smallish, like 28-32, will ensure we get it in against a wider range. these kinds of players hate folding for small amounts when they have any kind of equity (and sometimes none)

given his stack size I definitely prefer raise/call flop to calling turn since our hand many turn cards hinder our ability to extract the maximum

Think I'm going to start raising instead in similar spots.

He may actually play later streets better than I do in this spot. I'm really guessing about his tendencies and ranges based on other fish that might fit a similar mold, but with only 30 hands on one of these guys I just don't have enough info. Plus lots of "scare cards" for my specific hand that are better for his likely range than mine and I don't expect these guys to give up the betting lead very often.

I've definitely been jammed on before by stuff that I'm doing really well vs like 55, ax, something completely random. Plus I think they peel with a ridic range as well and I get in a lot of spots where I'm happy jamming a lot of turns if he just calls.

Sometimes you just gotta be a gangster

edit: it goes w/o saying that 99% of the time my line is awful but i had some hubris from winning 16 buyins at 2/4 today so i decided to be a gangster.

Funny HH, seems like you most likely had the best hand though.

haha
