-300bb/100

A little less than what folding to 3bets was as I was open raising to 4bb pre.

A couple of things I am working on are making my opens a little smaller and calling less 3 bets...
 
Yeah, I'd say calling 3bets a lot less should be at the top of the list.

My WR when calling 3bets is -100bb/100.

in 75k hands I have only called a 3 bet 181 times.

When I do that my winrate is 12.04 BB/100.

WTF???

What's your winrate when you raise and are 3-bet?

-29.52 BB/100

When I fold to a 3bet I lose - 189.62

When I 4bet after being 3bet my winrate is 513.33 BB/100

When I shove after being 3bet my WR is 444.19 BB/100

When I face a 3bet in position my WR is 45.54

When I flat a 3bet in position my WR is 29.09

Yeah no problem with trying to improve at 5nl 😉.

My cbet% is 79% but I'm kind of crazy on that front, me love cbetting, I would think between 70 and 75% is where you want to be.

Finally got my positional stats for you guys.

Button 31.91/23.85
1 28.97/18.69
2 24.04/19.23
3 22.79/18.60
4 18.23/15.63
5 19.26/17.04
6 11.69/9.09
BB 18.43/7.37
SB 28.57/14.76

Are these solid positional stats or are there leaks in my game I am unaware of?

Are you open limping some of the time from EP?? Also you are playing WAY too loose from the Small Blind.

If I'm using PT correctly, it looks like I've open limped about 40 times from EP over about 6500 hands. The hands I have done it with are like 78s and 44 type hands and I only do it when the table does not seem to be particularly aggressive......

I will often complete the SB if I am getting the pot odds to call (a couple of limpers behind me), and throw it away on the flop if I dont hit. On my research on this on google it seems to be a debated issue. Some people think it should be much lower than what I'm doing and some people think it should be higher, so I really dont know what is ideal...

So where are we at on here?What are we going to try next?The last thing i remember doing was practicing isoing limpers.

I think we are overdue for a 4betting discussion, including bet sizes, 4 betting small vs shoving, trying to figure a villain's 4bet calling range, dealing with short stacks, 4bet/folding,etc,
 
Sounds good to me..To ya think we should be talking about 4bet bluffs at these stakes also?I mean it has it's place in playing good poker but rarely at these stakes would it make$.I could be wrong here of course an we could be missing out on ton's of bb\100 from not 4betting the button to a 3bet from the blinds if villain stats and notes are right for this sort of play.

I think 4bet/bluffing is way too advanced for us micro trolls. Mainly because if we bluff and miss completely we've got 1/3 to 1/2 of our stack in and no plan to play the hand. I struggle with how to play QQ when I 4bet and get called. I mean, I do make a lot of money from 4betting QQ but that's really from all the folding. If you get called and flop an overpair are you against AA/KK or AK? Do we c-bet a flop with no A or K or do we check/call? Or do we check/raise all in?????
 
I mean for the most part your right but if villain 3bet% is high enough from the blinds and a few notes i think it still works.

Is this entirely a FR discussion or is there a good mix of 6max/FR players? I'm interested in working with some others to improve but am focusing on 6max right now.

If BB's 3bet % is high enough to 4bet bluff him with 84o, we should probably be folding it pf.

Both FR and 6-max. I might say a little more 6-max. I currently am working on transitioning to 6-max as well. We haven't really had sweat sessions yet but hopefully something along that nature will come up

I think i get what your talking about, fold this and 4bet hands like KQ+ for vaule?
This villain stats were 3betbb 55% of the time fold to 4bet 87% still a bad move to bluff here i guess.
 
That %55 is definitely not converged.

Assuming villain's tendencies fall in line well enough, 4betting is fine once you open, but I'm saying you shouldn't be opening 84o in the first place if he's 3betting so much. I wouldn't argue with never opening 84o in the SB ever.

I'm not going to answer your KQ+ question just yet. Here's something to think about: is it better to 4bet bluff someone who's 3betting a polarized or depolarized range?
 
That's an interesting question...which I've never really considered.

On the one hand, 4bet bluffing a polarized range pretty much decides your actions for the rest of the hand. Villain is likely to fold trash and ship value. But in that case you're not really getting them to make a big error. You also might be turning a hand with value into a bluff.

On the other side the villain might wind up laying down a bunch of marginal value raises to a 4bet bluff which would be pretty big mistakes.

Really depends on whether the villain 3betting a depolarized range is going to play just as tight to a 4bet as the one 3betting polarized. If so then it would be better to 4bet the converged range as you'll get villain making very bad folds.

Hmm...after reading everything I just wrote I think it'd be better to 4bet bluff the villain with the merged (but too wide) 3bet range given no other tendencies than 3betting too much.
