why are you b/f more draw heavy rivers?

If it's a drawy river it's unclear if he hit his draw or not because there are multiple draws possible. So you bet for value against a thin range of worse Kx or QQ or something along those lines, and in addition it prevents you from being bluffed by missed draws (unlikely he will shove with his missed draws as a bluff). If it's drawy and we check we allow him to valuebet us with his made draws or check and we win the minimum with his missed draws and worse Kx.

If we bet on river we'll never be called by his missed draws, and very little worse will call so it's way too thin. It's more +ev to check and let him bluff missed draws or valuebet worse. When in doubt on whether or not a vbet is too thin, let the villain decide.

I know the spew!

OK so my session started with NL50, and then I was like "oh sh*t I only have an hour to clear my bonus!"

So I start playing NL100 instead of NL50.
My mom comes trolling and she's all "Blah blah blah. Let me see your grades. OK now go to your financial aid stuff. Blah blah blah stop sucking in school"
(Huh? I have a 3.5 at one of the best private universities. FU Asian parents)

So I had to quit my sesh, then restart, which made me miss my last $20 in bonus.



So now I'm really pissed, because I ran bad this entire month so far, and also missed my last bonus. I'm like F it lets NL100



Really soft, there were a ton of fish still which somewhat confused me

2K more FTP points to buy the ihome, and I'm moving back to stars.

Can someone do my FT for your PS transfer? (~3K ish)

yes, you're probably right. wait, no... no you're not.

pretty sad that this whole site has turned into a huge levelling forum, I don't remember it being this bad when I first came here.

na he's right you should be betting

@ ksight sweet dude, although i don't like the turn shove on hand 4, not sure it accomplishes anything

He is right ainec. Get your head out of your ass...

Lol @ posting a hand and getting pissed when no one likes you're play then complaining about how the entire forum sucks and is leveling. The player = the results.

Keeping an attitude like that won't improve you or make you a winning player...

I'm thinking of trying heads up for a bit.. What's a good limit I should grind up to before I start? All there is in micro limits is 2$ SNGs with stupid 10% rake.

Edit: Does fulltilt have better HU matches for micros? I'm on stars atm with only a 145 bankroll. I've only just started reading the HU stickies/started playing the SNGs.

2nd Edit: WOOtz0r 100th post.

Just keep playing cash, I guarantee you will not be a winner at HU, plus rake owns you til 50nl

Mmk.. but it's something I want to atleast try.

(Sry I'll lurk the HU forums for the basics)

skates posts are REALLY good FWIW.

When did BBV turn into a strat thread? I posted a hand to show that a player called my squeeze with 64, called my flop cbet with bottom pair, and lucked out on the turn to stack me. Wisshiewish then went on to tell me that the reason I lost the hand was because I didn't bet the turn, when in fact that was not true. Betting the turn would not likely change the end result of the hand, and the end result is all that matters in a BBV thread, right? Therefore, you should get your head out of your ass.

obv it is not the reason you lost the hand.

but turn check is bad with less than 1psb left.

Play nice ...

Ksight - very nice trip report of your 100NL shot Look to take more shots like that - seems like your BR allows it.

against a goldstar, i'm weighting range away from draws and towards Kx that is block-raising/monsters and lead/folding most turns with the intention of block-bet/folding a small 1/3-1/2 pot vbet on the river (just playing ridiculously face up). on the most obvious draw completing turns, i hope to get to showdown and fold to a bet.

against a good player, im looking at recent history and trying to determine frequencies, but mostly going for turn c/shove against what i hope is a frequent bet. and im just giving up completely on Q/7/diamond. im also never leading the river unless i had some kind of draw myself and want to make a small fake inducer lead that should have ridiculously high FE for the price . but i'm also never inducing with a bet with my made hands there and prefer checking. with that said, i think i've only very rarely encountered a villain at nl25 that i have this sort of perception of.

and call with 82o against me and fold to turn bet?

Could have been played better. Don't post a hand if you don't want it to get analyzed. Glad you got owned though.

that hand made me think. having 76ss on 98xdds IP seems like it has a chance at making us more money than having something like JTdd =P. that might be a bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea (perceived outs + real outs of 76ss > perceived + real of JTdd).

haven't really heard this before. it's cool

edit: a good summary. and useful against some players.

Thanks for reading my last post. I'll try to "dumb it down" next time so that maybe you can understand.

Ok please do... I really can't understand anything you have to say because your grasp of NLHE is far beyond me. I conceed that you are a far better player than me.

Say... want to play HU4ROLLZ

EDIT: Flaming isn't allowed ITT, pm me a response.

lol morans

Haha,had to look at this for a while.Thanks for your analysis on the hand too.

calm down plzzz
