[vinylspiros]

Welcome back.

Sick heater.

So are you playing LAG on purpose or not? Seems like you're not sure because you don't have a HUD; just playing your best in your given situation.

I have a natural tendency to be aggressive when playing. Problem is that i would usually take it too far. Im just trying to find that sweet spot where you can be aggro but not go overboard into the spew zone(if you know what i mean).

thankfully so far so good. gonna put in at least another 3 k hands today and ill see how it goes. thnks for posting benji.🙂

This hand has some issues imo

Preflop: Hero is Button with 4

, 6

?? its ok once in a while I suppose, was it an obviously weak villain?
1 fold, MP raises to $0.30, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.05, 2 folds, MP calls $0.75

Flop: ($2.25) 2

, J

(2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($2.25) 7

(2 players)
MP bets $0.50, Hero raises to $1,?? what is this for? You are pricing him in,, you have a small hand so keep it a small pot,,,just call or make it much bigger and bluff properly you have the equity now with the flush draw. Personally he is giving you great odds to make the flush I just call MP calls $0.50

River: ($4.25) K

(2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $1.90, MP calls $1.90

When the backdoor flush comes in they won't give you much credit for it and the villain will call bigger bets. You can really punish in this spot.
You bet less than half pot here, full pot or even bigger here should get paid. Maybe even a shove, it would look like a fishy shove that might get a full value call. Especially if he connected with the K. Do we know what did he have? AK AJ 99 TT look the most likely.

thnks figaro. i see exactly what you mean yea. I just tend to make that river overbet/pot sized river bet sometimes and get folds instead of calls.


Didnt want him to freak out and maybe fold a King or something.

He had KJ! so im oretty sure he might have called a jam here.

Generally im trying to give them nice prices so that i can get paid off. better make some money than no money.

thnks for posting bro.




EDIT: the min reraise on the turn was bad. I think i was trying to look strong and maybe pot it on the river if i bricked or something. I just didnt feel like he had much when he bet .50 into 2.25. All in all,i dont like the sizing ,your right.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

Any particular you keep sizing so small? Min raising and 1/3 potting and stuff? In many if those instances I would have gone bigger.

 

[Logan2]

Seriously? They dont work cause of the update? Is it going to be fixed or am i going to have to play hudless? any info. thnks for replying logan🙂

[redwards92]

Lol okay.

 

[vinylspiros]

Any particular you keep sizing so small? Min raising and 1/3 potting and stuff? In many if those instances I would have gone bigger.

because in most of those cases im semi-bluffing with the intention to "maybe"fold if i get too much action before i hit. So i figure if they are going to fold or call or raise, id rather make the bet smaller in order to save myself a little money and not commit myself in case i brick or in case the hand doesnt work out as planned.

 

[Jblocher1]

I think it is the best option because you only have a couple of cards there are more options like double staircase threesome couple

What?

Lol okay.

I assume this and indeed LOL. definitely a little poker involved in a threesome couple lmao

Yes but you have to think about the price you're laying the villain. When you bet 1/3 you give villain 4:1. Also, it doesn't necessarily apply here, but if you size your bluffs tiny and size your value bets normal or big, you will be extremely exploitable. And I definitely done think you want to be value raising less than half pot with a strong hand on a wet board very often.

I'm not saying pot it all the time, but there's a reason that 2/3-3/4 has become pretty standard. It's in a good range to force villain to fold some stuff or call incorrectly.

Not to mention too many villains call incorrectly to small sizes as well, so you're just going to get people floating their entire ranges be stuff and we get into weirder and weirder spots. I like sizing smaller from the conceptual level, but do it in moderation imo - remember you're balancing multiple considerations. The EV of your semibluff doesn't depend solely on your size - it depends on how often villain continues as well. I think when we size so small we actually enter the elastic part of villains range.

I have added 37 % into my betting boxes lately. so i have 37% 57% 87% and pot.

Now if i like my outs on the flop i will go for 57% but if i don't or im concerned about getting a call that i will have to give up on most turns then i might go for the 37% to save myself a little money.

From my experience and at the levels that i am currently playing 10NL and 5NL, i really don't think that sizing matters all that much. Alot of people mistake 37% as us trying to inflate the pot and as a purely value bet.
Also if their gonna fold they are gonna fold anyways cause they whiffed so why risk more if we can get the same result with less. you get me?


i dont use it all the time obviously. Board texture and pref-lop action(whether i 3bet or not) will definitely be a factor in my decision making process .


I totally get what you mean though in your post and agree with all of it. thanks a lot.

Honest to god man, 5NL is a joke. Sometimes i feel like quitting my day job, moving to a third world country and living off 5 NL.

This is the same villain in both hands that i have marked as : "Biggest loser of all time".

nice to see you back in the thread vinyl hope the good run continues, as for moving to a place where you can live off poker why not just hop over to bulgaria it's not too far from greece and costs of living are much lower, or were you just kidding about the whole move to a place to play poker for a living thing, oh and hey good luck!

I'm still chuckling at the KK QQ 24 hand
How on earth did you win the 10 8 hand, I think I would have folded pre there you are behind nearly always, you only have position, any ace on the flop and you can kiss it goodbye.
