what does 10/7 mean?

and are you playing poker for fun or to make money?

Anything you want. Prolly call>fold>raise.

Does he ever 6bet shove as a bluff if you make it 1500? Does he fold 9s-Js? AQ/AK?

like a nit. I don't remember exactly what 10vpip/7pfr stoves out to

I play for fun, but I like to make money. It's not my primary source of income, but I do play 3-4 times a week.

10 vpip/ 7 pfr

that was one of the craziest games i played in. i was going totally nuts. it was almost appropriate for the table. but i was over doing it. there were three huge fish in the game and i was catching good/decent hands and trying to isolate them, and so was everyone else. lol! tons and tons of raising

if someone is a good lag he'll probably be playing the highest stakes that are available.

i really doubt he'll 6bet bluff. if i 5bet i think he'll fold all trash. but i don't know what he'd do with J9s or AA. i'm not that experienced, especially in 4bet and 5bet situations.

i still don't know what that means. does 10vpip mean you voluntarily put money in the pot 10% of the time? and 7pfr mean raise 7%?

Playing a good lag game seems so impossible for me to define. I know it when I see it but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to do it.

How often does he actually do it as a bluff and what is his range for stacking off? Answer those questions and from there it is a math problem.

If he is responding to your threebets by fourbetting a lot and folding a lot but not calling a lot, then you should be threebetting a more polarized range. If he does call a lot then I'd still threebet this hand and fold to these gigantic oversized fourbets unless and until I'm sure that he's getting out of line with them.

yes

pfr = preflop raise %

remember we are just 4 handed. AQs is a big hand.

the problem is i don't know how often is doing this as a bluff. i just know i've seen him do it twice(over a few months). i'd guess he 4bet bluffs me in this spot anywhere from 5% to 30%. i really don't know. i know that other people in the game 4bet bluff about 0% to 1%.

i ended up calling. i'm never folding. i just don't know how to 5bet unless i have an ldo get it in hand

what is your plan after calling?

I probably call here.

i don't know

get it in if i hit a pair or flush draw ldo, but if i miss then i'm lost

flop was J73r with no club(i had clubs) iirc.

i checked
he bet 900(into 1400 pot)

you're going to miss the majority of flops and you're probably going to lose most of the time that all of the money goes in, I'd think

900 in the pot. it cost me 500 to call. it's almost certain more money will be going in. i have to be crushed to fold. hmmm..... i might be crushed often enough though..... no way. not 4 handed. folding has to be bad

If you're not crushed very often then why are we letting him see the flop and also choose whether he wants to see a turn as well?

If you 5 bet here you probably have to call if he shoves. If you are doing that and he can bluff post flop, I think it's better to call with the intent of shoving over a lot of flop c bets.

Edit - speaking of 5 betting, I don't like AQs as a 5 bet. IF you feel you need some non LDO ship it hands in your 5 bet range, a hand like 78s is better because that IS a hand you can fold to a shove, isn't a hand you can call a 4 bet with, and the times where he flats your 5 bets will occasionally flop a clean strong hand.

make it 1300 fold to a shove

or call and play it like you slowplayed AA

I don't think we should have both a flatting range and a five-betting range in this spot. And five-betting is effectively a shove here. The only reason to make it smaller than a shove is if you think it will change his perception of your range.

i have us slightly less then flipping against his 4 bet range

shove could be best

he may make a bad fold as well which is nice

tho i guess he'll make some good ones as well

after analysis, i think shove>>call>>>>fold

first of all, make it bigger than 200 the first time around

second of all, lolcalling. and a 5bet IS a ship here. so either shove or fold depending on reads

Here was my most interesting hand in my last 1/2 session.

I'm running the table from the #5 seat, my stack is over $1500, dude sits in the #1 seat and immediately starts trying to talk poker with me, which is a leak I have. One hand he pushes on the turn and doubles through me with flopped bottom set (I had KK on like a J836 board) and we talk more poker, I smack him down in a couple other pots, etc.

Then his friend moves from a broken table with about $800 moves into the #2 seat, and just from the talk, it's clear the friend is a better player. But they're also both drinking. About 2 orbits in, the "friend" straddles for $5, I make it $15 with QQ from the #5 seat. Two callers I think, he raises to $50 from the straddle. I make it $220. Folded to him. He thinks for a little while and flats. Flop is KT9r. He pauses for about 5 seconds and says all-in. Me?

fold
