27% agg in small sample. Yeah, that's tough. I mean he should be checking behind everything that you beat on the turn. I mean minus AK, which wouldn't be committing there in that spot, there's no hands other than pure bluffs you're beating. I don't think it's horrible you stacked off here, but I think I'd be finding a fold.

Try not to post results though also.

You have to manually update. This version is still beta. When we have something ready for full release, then it will come up as an automatic update.

Here's the latest version:

http://acepokersolutions.com/poker-software/Bovada_Card_Catcher_Setup_v2.06.4.exe

- 0% error rate
- Table locator work around
- Opponent stats not resetting on new player fix

Working on fixes for bodog China since the data is slightly different coming out of there. There never was a difference from bodog europe and china before this update, so we're still looking into why that is.

Im trying to avoid Bet Bet and betting River and getting shoved especially OOP as only 1 pair.

So your suggestion Bet flop Bet turn then what happens on River -Bet/Fold or Check/Call

And I think that's fine in a lot of situations, but you want to make sure you're applying it in the correct spots. Here, you have someone who is tight and not aggressive on a draw heavy board w/ TPTK. There's no assurance they will bet worse on the turn, and based on what data you do have, it's likely they will not. So it's best to bet your hands here and fold to a raise. Don't allow them to check behind and miss value.

And yes, on most spots then bet / fold river or c/f would be best.

Partly results but I was genuinely unsure what to do. SPR was 7-8 and wet flop lots of draws like TJ, flush draws and Qx with a diamond. If 3bet pot then probably just shove to deny him his equity.

Seem to find myself in alot of similar spots with overpairs or top pair top kicker and want to balance between max value when they have 2nd best hand and not paying off when they have it

Well yeah it kind of sucks when we get raised here but as you point out there are a variety of hands that can raise which we still beat so folding is out of the question.
As John said a likely fish as indicated by stack size and he bet and or raised in the hand played so far so seeing a raise here ponits towards an aggro fish.
So do we call or raise?
This isn't a 3 bet pot, so we can probably rule out him having QQ as this more than likely raises preflop. 99 might also have 3 bet but a lot of fish will also just flat this hand. This helps cut down on what beats us and 2 pair is also pretty unlikely. It is also unlikely that he puts us as strong as AA.
He could legitimately raise with AQ KQ JQ JT QQ 99 44 and fd.
So realistically we are only losing to the smaller sets.
If it was a 3 bet pot then with the SPR I agree we can shove, also because the lower sets then become less probable.
I think raising looking towards getting it in here is viable, he's likely fishy so will probably call it off with Qx FD and OESD of which there a load more combos than sets.
So are we losing value if we just call against a fish?, Not necessarily as there are still two more streets to get more money in and hes looking aggro. If he raised the flop he is likely to bet the turn whatever card arrives and get himself pot committed.
I think you are less likely to get stacked by calling as we can fold on wet boards to heavy betting but also less likely to win the full stack when the draws miss.
Personally I probably just call on the flop because I don't know that much about him to confirm our initial read.
If a diamond comes we can hang around on the turn as we will have the nut draw. Any non diamond card under an 8 on the turn we can look to get it in then. I don't really want to see an 8 or K and won't call two barrels against those cards. The tough spot would be a diamond coming in and facing a big bet on the turn

I actually 3Bet his glop rasie to $3.20 and surprised that he just called ruling out sets. But when the turn was a diamond and he had less than 1/2 pot bet left I just put him in

Nh. Obv, just shoving the turn is fine as well. I mean you're never ever folding in this spot vs a fish. I think you know that and maybe you were just going through a bad run. As far as call or re-pop on flop, I like the min re-raise vs fish.

So frustrated at the moment and confidence in my game up and down, started off the year normal then went ok then big downsing again which seriously casts doubts in your game. Tried to increase AGG% especialy on flops OOP by checkraising value hands and hands with backdoor equity and overcard.

Only a msall sample but 3bet has come down WTSD still needs to come down point or 2 W$SD% looks good

and AGG needs abit more

Difficult at times to say whether its bad play, bad run or combination of both. Even tried 10c/25c PLO for a couple of days and it got even worse dropping $170 in less than 1500 hands running like crap

hand below so similar to hand from https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cash-games-11/polished-poker-vol-i-study-group-227214/post-2818693.html QQ vs KK, although this time Im OOP

Villains Stats 23/11 22% Aggression 65 hands. Full stats posted below. Just noticed WSD is 58 and W$WD is 42 so does that mean as he is passive, goes to the river alot but tends to have it ???

In the QQ vs KK hand it was suggested : -

27% agg in small sample. Yeah, that's tough. I mean he should be checking behind everything that you beat on the turn. I mean minus AK, which wouldn't be committing there in that spot, there's no hands other than pure bluffs you're beating. I don't think it's horrible you stacked off here, but I think I'd be finding a fold.

Does this still apply when OOP as opposed to being in position

I'm folding my JJ in a 3bet pot like this to a turn value looking bet unless I have a note he can double barrel AK AQ unimproved. You were also UTG which make his range slightly stronger.

Yoshiaki · Jan 16, 2016

Hi rhombus, i think your JJ is a fold on the turn , because he 3bets you vs your EP range ( strong) and double barrels you in a semidry board so.. you can fold there. Also the fact that the villian is 23/11 means that he is not going to 3bet you with worse.

Yoshi
I think I'm folding in both spots. We have come to understand in this thread from experience that these overbet shoves are nearly always for value especially if the villain could have bluffed by betting less.
So the first hand is the harder fold but 96 makes total sense especially if suited. I had a hand very similar to this yesterday and non believed and got stacked. It all depends on how often he is shoving on the turn like this and whether you think he can shove here with KT. J9 is also possible but I'd fav 96. His small lead out is usually just a try to get a cheap draw.
Hand 2 it isn't called the dumb end for nothing insta fold.

The big raise on the turn got my attention but with the high AF i'll call once, it got me looking at the board. I think he either has 56 or backed into 777 at that point, maybe he picked up a flush draw perhaps Kc Xc. I'm hoping the board pairs. looking at it again a raise was in order on the flop on that wet a board but i was looking to trap a likely SB raise.
When it doesnt and he shoves then my gut tells me i'm probably beaten most likely it has to be 56. I said this to myself but his AF is too high to fully credit it.

I'm folding my JJ in a 3bet pot like this to a turn value looking bet unless I have a note he can double barrel AK AQ unimproved. You were also UTG which make his range slightly stronger.

Hi rhombus, i think your JJ is a fold on the turn , because he 3bets you vs your EP range ( strong) and double barrels you in a semidry board so.. you can fold there. Also the fact that the villian is 23/11 means that he is not going to 3bet you with worse.

Im thinking the same with his stat of 23/11 22% AG and amde me think of hand I posted before with QQ vs KK and shoved and lost. THis time instead of shoving I decided to call and then decide. Cheeky fecker had nothing but spiked the Queen

.

Maybe just a one off but I think agree in general maybe a fold on the turn with his low aggression and his 3bet from an UTG

So frustrated at the moment and confidence in my game up and down, started off the year normal then went ok then big downsing again which seriously casts doubts in your game. Tried to increase AGG% especialy on flops OOP by checkraising value hands and hands with backdoor equity and overcard.

Only a msall sample but 3bet has come down WTSD still needs to come down point or 2 W$SD% looks good and AGG needs abit more

Difficult at times to say whether its bad play, bad run or combination of both. Even tried 10c/25c PLO for a couple of days and it got even worse dropping $170 in less than 1500 hands running like crap

Yeah, I hear you. Let's focus on the things we talked about. And also, I think you should cut back on a few hands. Play a little tighter for right now. In general, there's too big of a gap between your VPIP and PFR, so cut out the cold calling unless it makes sense w/ small pairs. Otherwise, lean more towards 3-bet or folding.

Can you come in on the sweating sessions? I plan to be in there this week, so if you can make it in try.
