Probably should have just posted that in HA,sorry.

So dont donk the flop.
And if i do just triple barrel like a man.
Other wise C/R flop and get in on turn.

ok I can't tell if you are or not but like just memorizing stuff like that does no good imo. You need to be thinking about why you do things. Why did you donk the flop? Why did you check the river? There are some boards where donking sets is perfectly valid and some boards you'd be right to c/f or c/c on the river with a set. Instead of trying to memrize "ok don't donk flops just c/r with sets and get it in" try to think about what your opponent has, what he'll do with it, and how you can best play against that range. Never said it was easy but it just seemed from this post like you were trying to hammer stuff in your head and that's not really gonna help too much. Gotta understand why you're doing stuff.

On another note I thought I was running really bad. Then after 2 really good days looked and if I quit now it would be 2nd best month of my career 🙂. On the other hand I need 6k vpps to keep nova again, why do I put it off until the end every fking month?

Yeah i realize that im the first to admit that this might be a major leak or w/e for me, just taking this line or another with out thinking why i should take this one or another.
Something i really need to work on imo.
But this case i was really just writing it down to "review" it in my head😱.

The hand above i was thinking something like, Villain has a pretty high c-bet but doesnt c-bet to much in multiway pot and the BTN is a calling station and never bet anything and i hate for this to go C/C/C so i donk. The turn i dont even think about it just bet and the river i have no real argument why i checked i just looked at his river AG and whent with it, dumb i know 🙁

Villan is 3/3/3.5 over 300+ hands.

Basically he always has KK or the other 2 Aces.

You only got 1 guy and like 0.25... Yeah that flop is awesome though.

Question about set-mining in 3-bet pots: If you raise a small pair and get 3-bet, and you want to use the 12-1 rule to see if you have enough implied odds, do you go by the total amount of the 3-bet, or just the amount above your original raise that you have to call?

 

[The Shrog]

If my opponent has a full stack, I think we're always getting the correct price to call.

You pretty much never have odds to set mine to a 3-bet, just fold unless he does something dumb like min 3-bet you.
