My winrate was much higher, but idk what my winrate can be on ACR until I make the correct adjustments to my strategy. I was making small mistakes outside the blinds and not really defending properly from the blinds. I'm studying now, going to give it another 100k sample shot and if I dont turn my winrate positive pre-rakeback then I will probably go back to ignition.
Yeah the HUD isn’t functional 100% of the time which made me nuts. That’s why you want to be manually noting players every chance you can.
Some things about the field in general, is there is a lot of 3 bet bluffing from CO-SB. They 3bet and I had notes they were capable of bluffing my 4bet bluff strategy got crazy. It worked though. My redline was pretty much break even.
The high amount of regs makes it easier once you start getting certain players figured out because you see them so much. You’ll see the same names every day. Just get to know them.
There also seems to be strategy trends on there. The ones I remember the most that were recent were:
3bet bluffing from the SB an insane amount. Everyone was doing it. That’s where I really started to fight back when in CO or BU with 4bets. Sometimes you run in to the top of their range but trust me on this. I haven’t played in a couple of weeks but I can’t imagine it’s that different that quickly.
Another thing I noticed was when they 3bet smaller OOP they were inducing action a lot with strong hands giving you too good odds to continue. I suspect they were 3betting smaller to get called and build a pot (I assume). I paid off with a few mediocre hands to figure out what that meant and it was the same almost every time. That’s doesn’t mean a big 3bet is a bluff every time it just means be suspicious of the smaller 3bet sizing.
I’d also recommend a balanced 3bet range from the BB. I mixed up like an 10% range where half were value (99+, AK, AJs+) and half were bluffs. The bluffs were the very bottom low suited connected cards (stuff like 43s, 62s, etc) and wheel aces. Good suited connectors (87s-KQs and gappers) and smaller pocket pairs I would flat and look for opportunities to smash the flop or float bet vs one and done players (high flop cbet% low turn cbet% from LP). I had XRay on my HUD so a lot of players were labeled if I didn’t have manual notes.
I played mostly 10nl and 25nl. So I can’t speak on 50nl with a lot of experience but I’d be surprised if the Russian and Belarus and other countries where botters are suspected are playing drastically different. I could be wrong though but a lot of times you will see the same Belarus and Russian players spread out to all the stakes.
Keep reviewing hands and making notes. It’s a tough field but it’s still poker.
