Some more cash hands. Last session was pretty much me getting beat up on. Anyway, here we go.

1. We cool with this, sizing etc?

3. Didn't pay attention to stack size. Still, I'm jamming this flop with all my value hands. Should probs do it here as well right?

Another question relating to hand 5 that might be more important is to do we fire the A and then X/F the river?

 

[AlfieAA]

Hand1...nh,wp....lol at his bet on the river. Hand2 ..4bet is good I think. Hand3..flat pre...as played check flop. Hand4..ugh don't like this one, think he could have aces. Hand5 bet turn.

 

[honeycrush]

Hand 1: I would 3bet smaller pre, maybe $1.50 - Like check back on flop and turn sizing - but unless we have good read that villain doesn't slowplay and minbet to induce I'm thinking a potsized bet on river. But wp if you had reads and got max value.

Hand 2: Normally I would check SB's agg and 3bet stats and if high then flat to keep his weaker hands in. But in this case you don't have much to go on. Also with BB cold calling I would be wary of 4betting unless I was prepared to stack off. I'm still undecided whether it's a good idea or not to stack of with QQ at 10nl against unknowns.

Will come back and look at other two hands.

Hand1...nh,wp....lol at his bet on the river. Hand2 ..4bet is good I think. Hand3..flat pre...as played check flop. Hand4..ugh don't like this one, think he could have aces. Hand5 bet turn.

Umm there's a straight on the board...

 

[AlfieAA]

Umm there's a straight on the board...

no.....hand 5 has the straight on board, hand 4 that you bolded didnt....i thought i misread the 5 for a 6 on hand 5 which you made me think was hand 4 but wasnt....it was fine all along...lol, never mind, not a biggie blob...be cool

Lol oops. Wp

 

[ScottishMatt]

Pretty boring session today. Felt like I played really well except in one spot where I cold 4Bet from the BB - SB had AA and BTN had KK.

One hand I could get feedback on is this one.

Relevant notes are that he calls 3Bets OOP with 88. He also 3Bets a decent amount so his PF aggression isn't exactly small. He definitely 4Bets AA/KK and given his 3Betting tendencies I assume he is more likely to 4Bet QQ/AK OOP than to flat call them. It might be because I'm running super bad in 3Bet pots recently but should I be stacking off here?

 

[AlfieAA]

Think you have him crushed unless he shows up with 9Ts...don't think he would play mid pockets when you 3bet...think he would prob 4bet queens/kings but then again I don't think he would station jacks on that flop either...2 hands that can beat you I think.

He just said relevant notes are that he's called a 3bet OOP with 88 before.

Tough spot Matt, but i'm likely to gii here. So many draws. There will be times he shows up with a set or mayyybe 2pr here. But yeah i'm happy to gii I think

 

[AlfieAA]

Ok, made an error, thanks for highlighting it .....in that case yeah 7 and 8's are possible now...but could be 2pair like blob said 78 or whatever....what's his check/raise flop stat < is there such a stat and if so is it any relevant in making a decision or do we base the actions purely by the flop texture?...

dude post hands in different threads things get so messy

 

[duggs]

numbering them is fine or naming them

 

[Cafeman]

naming them

Now we're talking!

 

[ScottishMatt]

dude post hands in different threads things get so messy

It's my thread and created for the sole purpose of getting feedback on my game. My hands have no better place but in this thread. There is no pressure on you so if you don't like the tidiness of this thread you don't have to be here.

Let the naming begin!

 

[ScottishMatt]

Messed around on Zoom for a while. Probably going to grind that for a while as 4 tabling the reg tables is seriously slow. Reckon I'll go for 3 Zoom tables which should provide a good balance between high concentration and volume. It should work well with my more LAG ranges as well.

Merry Christmas to everyone visiting this thread today, take this graph as a pressy!

 

[honeycrush]

Ooh sexy red line!

Happy Christmas! :santaclau

 

[ScottishMatt]

Not much going on. Was playing some 5NL cause I didn't feel like I was at my best (really tired) but still wanted to play poker. Got a couple spots where I feel like my play was ideal but would like some feedback just to be sure.

I'll definitely be naming my hands from now on so I'll take suggestions on what I should name them, you guys can vote on it and decide. For now we'll keep it simple and vote between:

1. Movies
2. Countries


For these two hands I'll have to go pretty bland and name them after my Sister's dogs.

Not so keen on Ollie. I would probably fold turn.

Liking Jake but would probably bet more on flop, check turn, bet river.

I think Cola is fairly straightforward. We like sizing etc?

Poppy on the other hand is normally a spot where I would fold, like OTT when he bet I was totally like "FML he obv has a set". Still trying to find spots where I can call down where I would have folded. What do you guys range him on here?

 

[js520]

What's the reasoning behind donking the turn for Ollie?

 

[ScottishMatt]

He is a spewtard and I felt like taking control of the hand was the best option + I get to decide the price. I didn't want to do so OTF because he can definitely spewGII with draws and OTT their equity is halved.

Still crushing the Zoom tables though. It appears like there are less complete fishtards but it is made up for by the average player calling down way too light.

 

[redwards92]

i hate that

they sit there and call PSB's all the way down and get there on the river and we have to get it in because our stack is pretty much already in anyway.


I especially hate it when I'm just picking up small pots for what seems like hours then I flop big hand and finally get action only to lose the biggest pot i've played lol

So this one was weird. Really no idea how to range him but seeing as he went from a min-bet to snap shoving I figured I was probs beat. No info other than he was 4 tabling so most likely a bad reg or a nit. The plan was to X/F to a large sized bet, possibly X/C a smaller one but I expect him to check back a lot of the time. Then I could go for small valuebets on blank turns + possibly rivers.
