Is that 6max belgo ? It actually looks remarkably like my 25nl graph, except that my Ev line is another 10 buy ins below my money 'lost' line.

he plays 200nl 6max on Party Poker.

also, you need to post your graph to allow us to judge the likeness. Are you really 60 buy-ins below EV at 25nl?

 

[ChuckTs]

no, but he's taken over my heart

i like this type of line sometimes but i think this is probably one of my least favorite spots for it considering you got led into strong on such an action board. i think they almost always have some solid piece, which could ofc include b/3bing a big draw, so when he bets again on the club i'd just go away

a big problem is that a flush is the only thing you can represent, you can't rep a set or two pair or anything else ever so that kinda sucks too. there are a lot of other spots for raising the turn where 1. your opponent's range will be considerably weaker, and 2. the board texture lets you represent a wider range of really strong hands. also these stack sizes don't put much leverage on your opponent at all, so better stack sizes could be #3. i'm curious why you chose this spot (guessing the opponent had something to do with it, i don't know who it is, just my general input)

edit: oh fwiw once we get to the river that way i'd shove also since it doesn't have to work very often to be +EV

 

[switch0723]

villain was a standard tag reg, like 14/12, but he had a donk bet% of ~40% over 900 hands, so i think his range include pair + straight draws etc there. Hands like j,t, 9,t, TT maybe but he probably doesn't limp that, 8,9. So ye i raised putting his range on a lot of pair + draws aswell as made hands.

river shove is pretty std considering the fact i don't think he ever limp/calls any ace pre, so the Ac is out of the question

 

[dg1267]

Don't really have a graph this month. Only 2700 HEM hands. The rest has been on Walker poker trying to get some bonuses on there.

I was up 7 buyins on the month at 2NL. Plus I had some good tourneys, but nothing worth looking at.

So, what's next months thread gonna be named?

Got aces 3times and just picked up the blinds, 3sets, one set over set and two C/F.

Im starting to think i should just stay at 10nl forever.

 

[Irexes]

April Absolution imo.

 

[zachvac]

it needs to work super often tho

meh 62%, pretty sure he folds more often than that.

 

[eNTy]

uh wtf are you reading the graph correctly? cause i'm pretty sure that there's no way this is true

also, you need to post your graph to allow us to judge the likeness. Are you really 60 buy-ins below EV at 25nl?

I said I was running above EV, but it isn't true. I was on all stakes for a while but it converged recently.

Shape wise it's pretty close amirite.

(It's just that in my case it's probably 90% bad play and not bad luck like the other guy )

Also I just missclick folded KK pre vs what turned out to be AA. I was kind of wary tho, a raise from a fish, then a 3bet from a tag/nit.

 

[ChuckTs]

raise flop!!!

If he's cbetting that flop he almost always has a big draw or a big pair, and you can not let either of those hands see a turn that either kills your hand or kills your action.
