Not sure what stake this is, but this seems fine. If villain is somewhat stationy (i.e., like most uNL villains), this is fine as you probably get paid off by a lot of worse Ax hands. Even against a decent opponent, this line seems OK as it seems a decent player is likely to raise a set at some point and might call down with AQ.

Okay, thanks. Yeah sorry I play on a swedish site so its basically like $58NL. I should convert my HH's to bb's.

Hey thanks for the input. I included Hand 1 just to confirm that I was letting my inner nit take waaaaaayyyyy too firm a hold of my poker play. No cooler here. I folded the Aces. (really didn't want to admit that....)

I lost a sh*tload of buyins over a 2 day period, all along the same lines as these. Repeatedly, everything goes along just dandy for a long period of time. Suddenly, one day someone throws the doom switch and by the time my poker world rights itself, I have to redeposit (tiny bankroll, but I get attached to it as it grows ).

My heartbroken reaction is to immediately tighten up even more. Doesn't help, of course, because that's not really the problem. So I stay in the micros trying to learn enough to save maybe 25% of the losses in the downturns, so as to have something left when they're over.

Hand 2 I think you're absolutely right about the turn. Normally I would certainly have been all in on the turn but I was feeling weird about the hand for some reason and ended up playing it weird as well.

I think it's possible that villain might have an under pair to the 10 and wants to see if it's good. I see tons of players do the check/raise thing and then they get to check the hand down to see if their mid pocket pair is good. Looking at this players aggression stats, I think a case could be made for re-raising villain to see if he's serious. This usually makes them fold up their cheap tent and hit the road. Or, they push all in and you can safely fold.

My 2 cents, fwiw.

[QUOTE=RoseRamble;32719117]Hey thanks for the input. I included Hand 1 just to confirm that I was letting my inner nit take waaaaaayyyyy too firm a hold of my poker play. No cooler here. I folded the Aces. (really didn't want to admit that....)

Edit: Should be I folded the Kings. Even my inner nit sees no value in folding Aces preflop - or mostly after the flop either, which is a whole different kettle of fish, as SCF already expressed so well.

standard or is this spewy? line on all streets please, it was zoom and he was completely unknown

Seems fine, except I would get it in on the turn. Any 7, 8, Q, K or club puts 4 to a straight or a 3-flush on the board and potentially kills your action. You're also not too happy to see a 3, 9, T or J on the river. That's 2/3 of the remaining deck that isn't good for you.

Villain is 26/20/7 over 90 w/ 5.0 agg

I'm pretty sure he has an ace here rather than a set of tens or a draw.

Couple questions.

I'm OOP facing a 3bet but its a small 3bet...
1. Is it a mistakeistake to flat here?

Flop.
2. 40/60 nut draw... should i repop and get it in here?

Turn.
3. Just gives me more outs. Is this a check fold spot? Check flat? Blocker bet?

Hi guys, no reads.

river shove over his raise > flatting?

villains fold to 3bet range?
i would 3bet but calling is fine.
flop: c/f

1. Definitely fold pre to the 3bet. It is on the small side, but you are out of position with a frequently dominated hand.

2. The only reason to repop it is if you think villain can fold a decent Ace here. You are still behind and need fold equity. I doubt you have much.

3. Again, you need fold equity to shove here. The amount of equity you picked up is small compared to the amount you lost by the fact that there is now only 1 card to come (your chances of winning vs. an ace dropped from 40% to 30%). You might have some fold equity (repping TT, JJ, AT, AJ, KQ), so I don't think a shove is horrible vs. a nitty villain, but villain should be strong here, with either 2-pair or a TP+GS.

The way the hand played out is actually pretty representative of what happens when you call a 3-bet oop with a hand like KTs. Often, you'll have to check-fold when you miss and the times when you face decent draws that miss vs. a strong range from your opponent out weight the (very) rare times when you stack an opponent making a straight or flush.

Hey guys.
Villain is 35/8/0.9 with 0% 3b over 52 hands.




I c/c on the turn because I felt he might have 2 pair easily and I could still improve.
Is the river call bad? I wasn't putting him on T but rather a lot of 2 pair types or lower sets. But given his low aggression and bet sizing, it probably makes it fold, right? I am lost.

b/f turn is better than c/c , looks like a villian who could be passive/calling down with junk but just fold to aggression (unless he minraises turn could maybe have odds to draw to flush/T to come

If I should b/f turn, how big would the bet size be then?

i would bet .95

this is zoom villian is 31/10 (over only like 20 hands)

What about river?

River is an obv fold.

Why I don't like raising flop is you push the fish out of the pot. Regs db range should be weak on such word,i mean wtf should he db anything here?
