*****(Loose) Aggressive April Chat Thread*****

Dave Bush has a no-hitter going through 7 vs. the Phillies. GOGOGOGOGO!!!!

pretty much what I told you in the micro's thread. Basically, stop being such a nit. Att. to Steal below 30% is a major leak, imo. And at 50NL FR, I don't think there's any reason it should be below 40%.

I think you'd benefit greatly from playing some 6-max for a while. Work on your postflop skills and playing a more positional game since most FR players play pretty solidly pre-flop but are abysmal postflop.

yeah thought I would get more opinions aswell

Yeah im not too good postflop tbh, I will give all these points a real crack and try and open up.

 

[Jurn8]

Higher steal, fold to less flop cbets, 3bet more, WTSD% is low hence why u are winning 57% of showdowns. WTSD should be higher and W$SD should be slightly lower. W$WSF is pretty low.

A little confused here how do I fix this part?

don't let people bluff you that much

Call down lighter vs the more aggro players, probably value bet a little bit thinner than you currently are. Basically looks like you are getting pushed off some good hands with showdown value.

Stop automatically putting people on a set every time they raise?

these are all true lol especially DSVW's lol
Value bet thinner so I get people to call more on the river right?
Is this basically in position more right??
I think I could take a lesson from belgo and his red line make a vid man !!!

I will try thanks guys, but you three are very aggro solid players its going to take alot of hard work to become solid but also aggro.

 

[switch0723]

well as fun as this was, lets start making some money now please

 

[bw07507]

Nice work switch. 100NL is really not that much different from 50NL, so if you were good there, there should be nothing stopping you from being good at 100NL. Just dont get FPS. Pretty much all the regs play totally straightforward poker. If they raise you, they have the nuts.

 

[eNTy]

Don't lie, it wasn't fun switch :<

I'm so busy. Doubt I will even be playing poker in the next few days. Have a presentation due tomorrow, 10 page paper and 5 page paper due next monday, final wednesday, and another presentation on next friday. I will write it sometime though, dont worry.

 

[eNTy]

You call that busy ?!

shite sorry dude, I forgot your on the brink of graduation. No worries concentrate on your studies BW. GL with it hope it all goes well

 

[Jagsti]

Jake, the boys have made some very good points about your stats, and you should look at what their saying and try to fix these leaks. But there is a caveat here. You have to balance it a little. Don't start calling down all value bets too light and with too high a frequency as you will find yourself coming unstuck. The majority of times you have been folding, you probably have made a good read, so just don't get too carried away with it. Make gradual changes and you will start to recognise the spots were calling down lighter is warranted.

 

[Jurn8]

totally agree Jay, just going to have to try and pick correct spots and try some villians I spose.
I will take little steps towards this rather than trying to fix it at once, hope I can see results/rewards within the next few weeks.

I might just be results orientated, but it's ok to stack here right ?
(generally I make my 3bets 1 BB bigger oop, but I was wondering if it's ok to just make it 3x with AA. Don't think it will make much of a difference though.)
Villain is sort of a tag reg.

UTG+1: $7.32 (29.3 bb)
UTG+2: $12.11 (48.4 bb)
MP1: $25.77 (103.1 bb)
MP2: $25 (100 bb)
MP3: $26.84 (107.4 bb)
CO: $27.66 (110.6 bb)
BTN: $9.90 (39.6 bb)
Hero (SB): $39.22 (156.9 bb)
BB: $11.62 (46.5 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is SB with A:heart: A:spade:
3 folds, MP2 raises to $1, 3 folds, Hero raises to $3, BB folds, MP2 calls $2

Flop: ($6.25) Q:heart: J:heart: 9:heart: (2 players)
Hero bets $4, MP2 raises to $22 and is all-in, Hero calls $18

Turn: ($50.25) T:club: (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($50.25) 6:club: (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results: $50.25 pot ($2.51 rake)
MP2 showed Q:club: Q:diamond: (three of a kind, Queens) and won $47.74 ($22.74 net)
Hero showed A:heart: A:spade: (a pair of Aces) and lost (-$25 net)

sorry for crosspost but stats analysis please, any major holes you can see?

what are you double/triple barrell stats? Kinda looks like you cbet then give up alot as W$WSF is far far too low and W$SD is too high (WTSD is a little low so you are probably playing a little weak tight, since high W$SD/WTSD tends to indicate that you don't call down quite enough). Agg% is quite low as well, which may indicate you go into c/c mode a little too much.

Also in 50nl FR you can steal so much (to the point that you would be completely exploitable) vs the right players coz nobody knows how to play back against it. When i played 50nl FR i stole >40% *i think* and i *think* i stole like 60% from sb vs bb (which is SUPER exploitable vs a competent opponent, but these are few and far b/w @ 50nl). iirc i was actually a winner from sb as a result. Playing unbalanced and exploitable is most profitable at microstakes as the players can't adjust correctly, so don't worry too much about having "correct stats". Do what works.

yeah, definitely fine to stack here. even against top set you're getting about the right price, and he could have some hands you crush like KxKh, TxTh, KhQx, maaybe AQ (but that'd be kind of spewy since he can't have a heart)

Back to the manual transmission vs automatic.....I had to ditch my manual for an automatic...kept dropping my mouse and folding my good hands while shifting........pokering in atlanta traffic is the nutz!!!!

feitr, I was just talking about this to enty, I really dont know when to pick spots to double/triple barrell probably because its not good at the micro's but does have some merit at the low stakes.
Also I usually play the 50BB min tables but was on a sweat with Enty and the other normal tables seem so much softer and i can steal/3bet more there in the future I think so I will play these more now.
How do I find out my double/triple barrell stats?

This is a start. Just unzip and add it to the Reports folder in your HEM folder. Then you can add C-bet% and C-bet Success % for each street, and then filter for various things.

Well i just have it in my HUD as turn cbet% and river cbet%
