Another day, another hand.....this time villain a reg. I just started multitabling (I rarely do that) and this reg been multitable and always seen him.
Overall the tables are quite tough, everyone folding nicely or playing quite balanced. Some are nits, or I would say that they are all quite balanced as seen in their stats, but their 3 betting % are quite infrequent.







overall stats at the tables below:

Preflop call is too wide, I'm folding T8o T9o and would call JTo..

River is too thin, your isolating yourself against stronger Tx and flush draws. Would be easy fold if he had AK AA(if his half decent)

You could bet smaller size and fold vs all-in.

The 1st thing to learn as a beginner is the preflop game. There are free charts available that you can learn and apply. Once you'll know them and after a bit of practice, you will be more comfortable deviating ("villain is a nit, I will defend tighter vs their opens", "villain is a fish who never fold to 3bets, I will skip the 3bet bluffs" etc etc). But before you get there, just learn & apply. It's boring, but you will keep losing until you do.

T8 offsuit vs an open from cut-off is a very easy fold, see below. Apply the chart, fold preflop, save 102.5BB, easy game.

As played, villain called a big check raise on the turn and the river fills one of the available flush draws. You won't get called by worse often enough, because villain should recognize people very rarely take the line you took with a bluff (at least at these stakes). From time to time you stack a stubborn K but not often enough. I would bet smaller on the river to get value from a K and fold to a raise.

Another day, another fold pre

HAHAHHAHA my VPIP is around 40 these days, shows u something ain't it. When I NIT up its like 20-25

The stone cold truth squire is that boring old discipline is the absolute cornerstone of any crusher, ever.

Once you can beat micros>? Ok. And understand why deviating is sound and what situations? Ok. then these hands become instructive. Because then they're based on logical range adjustments. But when you start misplaying preflop frequently basically all the hands, whatever the outcome, are borderline useless for improvement EV. (being the only metric we should ever care about)

My advice: take every simple shortcut you can to start with, esp preflop, until you start winning micros somewhat easily. For every 10 of these types of hands you'll get as much improvement EV posting ONE correctly played preflop hand. Why? Because suddenly all the regs know wtf they're talking about

Is that the Chagos islands? No politics in this sub mate

Fold pre

if BTN raises i can defend with T8o right? but this case CO raise I fold yes?

No, slightly losing call vs 2.5BB open.

Easy fold Pre

As played, its a triple ch/call w riv possible ch/shove vs certain opponents or donk river on certain opponents

No idea why you raise turn n shove riv vs flush on board there, you trying to fold out K when you have trips? lol

20-25 VPIP is where you want to be. It's hardly being a nit.

Ill ignore preflop.

Turn is borderline. Vilain bet bigger, meaning he has maybe KQ+, but at 2nl more likely AA+. Your T is worse that all his Tx. I guess you can raise small to annoy FD and Kx with the idea of folding to further aggression.

River is a punt, you check fold. This is not a 4 street hand when the flush gets in
