Message: [QUOTE="Aleksei, post: 2327276, member: 94582"] Hey John! :) I've been following this thread but I haven't participated because I haven't been grinding. I still have barely any volume (maybe 700 hands a week for the foreseeable future), but I'm playing and I'm looking to apply the stuff I've learned here. I'm playing 5NL Rush at Fulltilt, and it's basically just ridiculously weaktight, so I'm playing a kind of a laggy/smallbally style looking for a ton of fold equity from fairly inelastic bet/fold ranges. Some things from the book And this thread I'm incorporating: -I'm 3betting/4betting light with roughly the range you recommended, though I'm doing it far more aggressively because in an environment like Rush it's harder for people to notice and adjust. -I've minimized the number of hands that I play from the blinds. Since this is Rush and I don't currently own a HUD (can't afford one), I don't have reads on almost anyone. Thus my OOP flatting range is mostly limited to weak PPs I can set mine. When villain is short and doesn't have enough behind to setmine, I basically don't have an OOP flatting range; just a value 3bet and a light 3bet one. -I'm cbetting a fairly high % of whiffed flops, maybe like 70%. I'd like to know though, under what circumstances do you *not* cbet? Other than the obvious completed-draw flops that everyone hits too hard. -I'm making decent use of the stop-and-go technique to reverse float when I do flat OOP and miss. A couple of other non standard things I'm doing on my own: -I'm minraising rather than 3xing all but the super premium hands in my range, because it forces the nitty general population of Rush to either defend wider or hand me the blinds for cheap. I may start just minraising everything. -Since I noticed that people play back very inelastic ranges, I'm making smaller bet sizings my standard. My 3bets are like 3-3.5x OOP and just 2.5x IP. Postflop I'll often fire the flop for 1/2 pot, and then if a scare card comes and I decide to rep it OTT I make it 2/3 to make it look more convincing (in case they didn't believe me the first time I can make it look like I was probing the flop then hit the turn hard). -I'm 3betting basically anything that isn't garbage over a minraise, because those are mostly very weak and very capped so that repopping them is basically printing money. Some leaks I'm working on fixing: -I'm a recovering non-believer, and I seem to be having issues with value-cutting myself against very tight ranges with TPTK type hands. I need to refine how much value I can extract out of those types of hands. (And no, I'm not calling turn raises from full stacks with TPTK). -I have basically no clue whatsoever what circumstances are good for firing a third barrel, for value OR as a bluff. -I've made some stupid board reading mistakes, but there's not much to that particular leak save practice. I'll post some hands tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
