anyone good with this?

No notes on what he 4bets. called the 4bet OOP planning on x/jamming a lot of flops. just thought b/c were 150 deep i didnt really want to get into his stacking range there cus i dont really know what it is and would rather keep his dominated bluffs in then get more value OTF.

prefer to min 5bet/call off, 5bet jam or flat?

Well in this scenario villain will hardly ever be bluffing especially with a 4bet. You've obviously shown strength but so has he.

His Vpip doesn't mean much with his amount of hands, so I guess you'd class him as unknown. I play 5nl and at that point preflop it's often a shove or not. If you know he opens up lighter and 4bets light.. You should be making him pay but this is where you need to know your opponent and because you really don't know you must fold preflop to his 4bet. Unless you have proof otherwise not to believe him.

If he also is depolarizing you, remember he's got position on you so if he hits his card cause he's 4betting light... your going to stack him off... But this is where if you know this player does this, then you shove to protect yourself from this happening.

***Let someone else figure out his range and risk their chips*** Then play off the information you've learnt in the future..

- First of all, you know he has pocket kings right?
- They're deep-stacked as pocketehs explicitly mentioned, which is why he didn't want to shove, since most people's 4betting ranges are extremely tight, and gii ranges are even tighter when you're deep stacked
- Villain doesn't need to be 4betting light for us to gii profitably with KK, and especially not to be flatting and x/jamming
- You know he has KK, right???

Anyway Jake, I like flatting and x/jamming. Tbf it's a bit weird cause we lose action from JJ and QQ when overcards flop, but I think it will be fairly negligible. But wondering what your plan was if an A flopped?

H1 - Guy is super tight. I don't mind your line OTF, however please bet the turn for .60 or so. As played river is a flat not a 3-bet. The guy is too tight to call a river 3-bet with anything worse than a full here.

H2 - Meh. I probably bet turn smaller, this guy is loose but isn't some sort of drooler. River might be a call vs an aggrotard, I probably fold though. Not sure what you can beat here. Might call depending on table dynamic and reads but as a standard line I X/F river.

thanks matt, yeah i dont know why i 3betted the river, surely he couldnt have had KJ....but he did....next time the board pairs like that i will pay more attention, didnt even think of being boated, will think about that next time though...and yeah 2nd hand was meh, wasnt beating anything x/f the river like you say and bet smaller on the turn...ty

Alfie's hands:

H1 - Definitely bet that turn, 50-55c imo.

H2 - I agree with Matt, smaller OTT, like 16-18c. But then i would b/f the river (rather than c/f) for another 1/2 pot bet.

Yeah all if what scourge said is the reason I played the hand that way. Maybe I didn't explain my thought process well enough...

I just thought that if I flat and he is 4 bet bluffing with air I can keep those hands in his range. Also I can keep AK AQ JJ in as not all players are going to be getting those in pre 150 bb effective. I just thought this wasn't a bad play vs an unknown but wanted to get ppls perspective.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a flop comes A high like 22%? A high boards I Probs have to X/C the flop and then fold turn bets.

Yep 22.6% I believe. I think x/c, x/f, x/f MIGHT be the best line. It's obviously exploitable, but villains will be shut down quite a bit by a flop call on an A high board if they are holding QQ or something.

OK so want some feedback with these hands. Mostly marginal spots. I seem to be getting into these more often now that I've cut back on tables. I actually enjoy it and feel like there is some poker to be played :)

H4 - Villain is 30/26. I really didn't like his min-raise to 4-bet line. Looks super strong. Unfortunately I didn't have any specifics on his pre flop sizing. I just feel he is capable to know that 2x'ing when first to act isn't a good idea. So naturally when he blasts on me I think I'm beat. Should I have stacked here?

H5 - Villain is an unknown reg-y type. His turn bet was instant which gave me some info, not sure how to interpret it however if he had a set or turned TP with AK then I doubt his sizing would be like this. Reasonable to think I may be good here and even if not I can take it away OTR?

H6 - Vs an 18/11/29 (VP/PF/AFq) fishy type. Guy had been 3-betting Q9o and stuff pre so I don't think he is adverse to bluffing. River sizing makes no sense with his line and because he is kind of goofy leads me to believe we can bluffcatch here?

My 2c's

H1 : Bet smaller, like 1.80-2, maybe even like half pot, we want calls after all

H2 : Folding pre wouldn't be horrible, as played isn't too bad either though. Def folding flop.

H3: Looks fine

H4: I agree, folding looks fine

H5: Could fold the turn, the ace is obv a great barreling card for him so he doesn't def have it, but it also hits his range more than ours, as played when he checks the river I don't mind a bet, theres 99-QQ which we can make fold but AJ/AQ won't go for 3 streets here either and would possibly x/c rivers to let you bet missed draws and worse pairs, not too sure, would like to see others opinions.

H6: I think when we're called ott I'm shutting down and trying to get to SD, you don't see many river bluffs in my exp so I would say you were beat here, usually by some hand like Q4/Q2/Q9 or something lol

H7: I'm not sure if I bet the flop, like you say he's gonna peel with loads that beats us and we're gonna have to fire 3 streets to make most of it fold, boards dry as shit so I probs give up ott.

H8: Don't mind a bet and I'm prob calling the x/r too, see what he does on the turn.

Thanks for the feedback Peels. Glad to see you agree with most of it. I have like another 8-10 hands from my last session. Again mostly marginal spots but I feel like they are more important right now.

Will post up other hands later today or tomorrow so keep a look out.

Thanks for reply on hands mm :).......question....when counting back door outs do we consider them more in all ins OTF or can we use them on a street to street basis, obv discounting them on the turn if the first combo doesn't hit......sitting here with a deck of cards practising, coz I am lolbad and need to get it down....ta

You played any 10NL Logan? Looks like you might want to test the waters...

Load like 10k-ish hands 10nl-6max early on the year but 6max is not for a nit like me. No 10nl FR yet this year.

micromachine said:
Nice graph Logan :) Last 65K is Zoom, so Zoom winrate < regular winrate by a fair bit but you probably make up for that with increased volume.

Yeah, WR decrease a lot on zoom because no table selection, less fish and ranges are less wide, i do feel games are little harder. Volume compensate in some way but because less WR also means more variance. $/hr ended even higher on regulars but xample size for regular is so tiny that can´t really get nothing sure yet.

Cafeman31 said:
I noticed the same thing. Why did you move to Zoom Logan? Just for more volume?

Pretty much yes, last 2 months before zoom was loading barely 15k hands/month and feel was not getting anywhere with so low volume, on zoom can load 4x that amount.
But noticing the player pool is really low compared with regulars. Looking now on Stars by Stake/tables this are the numbers.

5nl regular 155 tables
5nl Zoom 59 tables
10nl regular 165 tables
10nl zoom 62 tables
25nl regular 220 tables
25nl zoom 57 tables

So it make sense why zoom is harder if player pool is 3 times less, this mean than 10nl/25nl going to be even harder than on regulars because more regs/less fish

So this make me rethink about zoom and decide to load a session today 10tabling regular tables 5nl, and i just find the session mode that "easy seat" have which helps a ton to not lose so much time on waiting list, opening and closing tables on your own.

Will give it a go for some days and if works probably need a new BRM because on regular tables need less bi´s because less variance, will see. So far the only complaint is that even 10-tabling regular tables feel soooooo slow compared to zoom but i guess poker should not be fun so ...

Have to withdraw like my whole roll to pay my first student bill of law school :(

Pulling almost 1.8k off and leaving myself w/100$ so I'm debating on whether I should actually go all the way back to 4nl and grind or not

Thoughts?

OK so want some feedback with these hands. Mostly marginal spots. I seem to be getting into these more often now that I've cut back on tables. I actually enjoy it and feel like there is some poker to be played :)

dont like it that much. I rather bet than call off. Its a 3 bet pot so if we bet like $2 OTF then we can almost pot the turn and GII. plus I think we have a ton of equity here with NFD and two overs.

-------------------------------------------------


H2 - PFR is 29/25, raise sizing is usually 4x/5x. Guy who 3-bets is 19/17. Do we mind seeing a flop with good odds + position?

H3 - Vs 39/23/36 (VP/PF/AFq) I ended up going into default X/F mode because he is a passive fish. Just wondering if you guys fire river here?

I think itd be nice to know what FTS is here to get an idea of how he'll react BvB. I find that ppl just go insane with air.

H4 - Villain is 30/26. I really didn't like his min-raise to 4-bet line. Looks super strong. Unfortunately I didn't have any specifics on his pre flop sizing. I just feel he is capable to know that 2x'ing when first to act isn't a good idea. So naturally when he blasts on me I think I'm beat. Should I have stacked here?

I really dont like folding here tbh. think a 30/26 stacks off pre with like JJ/AQ/AK? Is calling an option? I find myself in spots like this all the time vs nits and its an easier fold but a 30/26 i think its a stack off.

Pretty sure min 4-bets are standard though but he makes it like 3.5x...

------------------------------------------------------


H5 - Villain is an unknown reg-y type. His turn bet was instant which gave me some info, not sure how to interpret it however if he had a set or turned TP with AK then I doubt his sizing would be like this. Reasonable to think I may be good here and even if not I can take it away OTR?

The thing I really like about this hand is just the sizing OTR. a little bit more than 70%. The turn he has to bet cause he can have a lot of draw or just gained more equity with FDs and FE b/c of the A.

So I think if he binked a K OTR you've made it really tough for him to call.

nh imo :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------


H6 - Vs an 18/11/29 (VP/PF/AFq) fishy type. Guy had been 3-betting Q9o and stuff pre so I don't think he is adverse to bluffing. River sizing makes no sense with his line and because he is kind of goofy leads me to believe we can bluffcatch here?

H7 - Guy is 16/14. Obv went into slowplay mode here. Just wondering if you double here? Or do you even think it's worth firing flop if he is probably calling one street with 6's through J's?

- First of all, you know he has pocket kings right?
- They're deep-stacked as pocketehs explicitly mentioned, which is why he didn't want to shove, since most people's 4betting ranges are extremely tight, and gii ranges are even tighter when you're deep stacked
- Villain doesn't need to be 4betting light for us to gii profitably with KK, and especially not to be flatting and x/jamming
- You know he has KK, right???

Anyway Jake, I like flatting and x/jamming. Tbf it's a bit weird cause we lose action from JJ and QQ when overcards flop, but I think it will be fairly negligible. But wondering what your plan was if an A flopped?


I guess because KK finially called it gave our villain information that we don't have AA or we'd just keep repopping?

Like I said our villain is unknown and we shown weakness by just eventually calling. So many times if we slow down first we are beat by AA but if our villain stops and calls we should be infront. Best case scenario our villain has QQ? I can't see him going this f ar with anything weaker apart from AK which would be great if no A comes up.

KK crushes AK in AIPF situations... KK getting in against AK is a recurring fantasy dream that I have.

Granted, it usually turns into a nightmare when it gets cracked over and over, but in reality that's a pretty good situation to be in.

Also, it's probably a good thing that villain doesn't know the type of hand we hold... It's going to be very good for us if he thinks our range is capped and it's not.

I play 10nl at speed tables (like zoom) and I've been on quite a downswing, but I think my play is good enough to be a winning reg and to move up. Is there anyone who could sweat me or go over a recorded video with me? skype: igyigyigy
