@phos77: I think his range crushes your. Although you may have some FE I wouldn't try make him fold and I'd fold myself.

@z_wink: I'd fold this readless. I don't think he raises w/ 99/TT too often (likely never). There are really only a few hands that beat you but there are even less you beat.

@primone: I'd definitely bet here and double barrel on a lot of river cards. BTW you're very nitty...

I know we don't fold KK preflop 100 BB deep but... UTG was a fish but CO was a confirmed nit (13/9, no 3-bet over 110 hands). My table image was taggish. What do you think he 4bet with (instead of just shoving)?

Here i was like wtf? QT, JT etc might be here, but wouldnt he raise those on maybe turn and he slowplay them flop? Possible with JJ?

In the end i think i played it bad, there is 9 combos for full house, i guess i called this cus atm he hadnt PFR any so i thought some big overcards pockets.

^^ imo, i think calling river bet is correct. with 64/7 (very possibly a big fish) its very possible for him just to call PF with ATC, as well as any of the big pocket pairs. of course depending on his calling frequencies on later streets, hes could also called flop and turn with as little as a high card. and in the situation that he has a ten or PP, ur beating most of them; 9/13 of the tens and 9/12 of the PP. since he would jam river with any ten (and possible others as well), you're expected to win a vast majority of them. along with that (however prob not as important) ur getting lil over 1.5:1 so u only need to win bout half of these to make a solid profit. this might be a leak for me but im basing some of my plays on that "hes a big fish and he prob do stupid things." sry my answers lil longer then usually, but i havnt played poker for bout 3 weeks and these forum problems r taking some of the edge off lol

hi there
I started playing poker 1 year ago and since then I have always won a little but never managed to keep my bankroll. This week however I built an 80$ bankroll and I would really like to build it further. If anyone has some good tips or strategies, I would appreciate it. I play ring games as well as sng's.
Thx and good luck to all of you

hey ac3play, this is a great forum to learn bankroll management skills. depending on ur style, theres diff bankroll management strategies u can use. but go to the search option on top of the page and just type in "bankroll management" or something like that and ull find countless threads on it

I also recommend looking over some of the stickys in the "micro stakes NL" forum under "No Limit Hold'em" on the left side of this page.

cool! thx man

i always fold these in wrong spots:



villain weak-tight nit;
VPIP: 16%; PFR: 10%; Call Open: 13%, otb: 5%;
raise cbet: 25% (8) - so twice after this one
fcbet: 38% (8)

im thinking now i folded prematurely, but at that time his cbet raising stat was about 10-15% correlating to the number of sets one flops, hence i chickened out. shoulda called turn and c/c river AI ?

I saw this guy play a couple of hands and was not impressed with either of them.
How many of you are check folding the turn or river here?
I just did not believe he had a pair...

Hello! My first post here, trying to do it correctly.

Villain is 15/6, never 3-betted before - 133 hands
I was playing 23/18 in that table.

I'm asking if this fold is "a standard" here? I'm quite strong here I think, scared of flush/set. It seems pretty sure that he has hit either of those and just decided to call flop. My bet on turn was too weak I think. Actually I shouldn't had bet at all vs. a nit who just called me. Well, what the heck do I know..

Opinions anyone? All answers will be received with much gratitude!

Well played.

Just want to check about stacking off this deep. Probably standard, just want to make sure since it is a bit deeper than what I normally run into.
Plus villain is a nit.
Villain is 17/10 with 5% 3b.

Seems like one of those spots where you kinda know villain has aces but you still don't want to fold those kings. So I'd say standard and go for it. AKs or queens shows up surprisingly often in those situations though, or at least I've seen at quite often lately

MicroGrinder84: ITs standard cus if you had AA and he KK it would be played the same way, just hope he got QQ which happens some times.

Kaipaine: I would bet flop a little less, i would probably bet turn, this is really villain dependent so either way can be OK.

JJSyd: I dont play this hand on BB here.

Iam BB 22

BU raises about 30-40%, fishy

SB calls which is a reg

DO i call this PF? I mean why not...The pockets i would call with if played comfortable to just make to showdown like a pair would be 77-99, maybe 99-10 i 3bet here, so there is just such a tiny range here i would call so i think to setmine all pockets can be OK, or?

Villain 25/19
Had been in some metagame and got it in on a similar board with SFD on turn. He flatted in same spot OTF with AA last time, given circumstance it seemed that this guy was running really good against me but he may of bluffed me here

Correct to fold this or outplayed?

UTG is a bit of a maniac, 86/61/3.5 over 23 hands. Haven't had any past showdown experiance with him however.
SB is 36/18/inf over 22 hands. Once more, no experiance with him.

Standard fold? Or bluff / draw catch?

Getting very good odds (6:1) on our call, so we only need to be good 14% of the time, standard to ship it in or protect our 90bb left facing this much action?

Snap.

Ugly. In reality, it doesn't really matter much since you need to be good so few times. Be a station and call.
