Hand 2

vs a good reg. 22/19 w 7 3B. FCB 75%
WTSD/WSD/W$WSF 20/22/37

Was going to x/f the turn but when he checked the turn i dont think he has a straight but only sets. i think straights bet the turn for value a lot of the time so i think when i bink a set OTR i should jam for value.

Too thin?

Currently I am playing only FR normal tables so can't really contribute much here, but the analytical approach is definitely the right stuff.

any thoughts on hands?

also 5k more vpps before Platinum gogogo

 

[LD1977]

Well, here goes but take the disclaimer into consideration I rely on HUD and notes a lot so this is vs normal players with no reliable reads.

Hand 1) - I probably fold here since it is far from certain our FD is good, two players like the board so much to raise and call it? Nah. With unknown UTG, I pass but take notes if I see the showdown.

Hand 2) - Seems thin, yeah.

Hand 3) - I don't stack off JJ for 100bb+ unless the guy is a maniac or very 3bet happy.

Hand 4) - I dislike the flat, dunno how it is on PS but on FTP I just assume unknowns are fish and go from there. I 3bet AA every time and let him decide WTF is going on. Postflop probably either just call down (board is pretty bad for raising) or minraise river since it looks fishy and he will call a lot with TP hands.

Hand 5) - Perfect, but why run it twice?

yeh i rely a lot on my hud as well.

1) def not folding. SB just has Qx hes not going to have a boat. Im getting more than enough odds to call his raise + im IP and keep the fish in the pot.

2) what 8x combos does a CO flat a UTG open w and bets a wet flop w a reg yet to act? I think sometimes he can have 86s (3) for a flopped straight but i actually even doubt that. Plus i think he bets the turn w his straights as well. I think 88 bets the turn

3) I mean Im probably flipping here a lot of the time I just think I get a lot move value by letting him bluff the air part of his range. For most ppl his btn v co range is going to be like the 2nd or 3rd widest 3bet range

4) kk

5) just default had it on. i didnt mean to turn it on

Session Focus:
1). Widening MP/CO RFI - still lacking on this!
2). Taking time w decisions - way better

Mental Game: B-Game
- I almost put today as an A-Game because I was up 4BI in like 700 hands then lost a ton of flips and ran into some spots (not saying i didnt play some badly) but for a while it got kinda cooler-ish
-went for a 5k run and came back and grinded

Tactical Game: B-Game
- 3 bet a lot wider today
- made a couple good folds and stopped a spew OTT

Going to take a couple days off to b/c i have to work and do some school stuff. then im going to grind pretty much all weekend and study some post flop stuff this week as im feeling a lot more comfortable pre flop.

Anyone have suggestions for blinds v CO 3bets and IP/OOP SQZ ranges? Ive noticed my sqz is pretty high lol


Going to limit my hands to 3-5 now so more ppl respond.

I should probs cbet here but i 3bet a lot from the blinds and just kinda figured I was going to get floated so often. Planned to x/f but when he checked back i didnt think he had many.

Hand 5:

I was talking to some ppl on Skype about this cause I my plan was to bet/snap the flop but looking back i think pretty much everything about the hand is bad.

1) think QTo is way too wide to be 3betting here - although i dont have much info on the villain
2) should probs just x/c OTF esp w the overcall in the bb
3) as played i should b/f

when i CB my plan wasnt to b/f it was to b/call as I was expecting btn to jam all his draws and just call his better QJ+. i mean he can have like 77/33 which probs jam as well but just figured he had more draws

Actually I think it's fine to fold the 1st hand. Sure you can stack off two peeps if you hit, but you only have like 8 outs at most ( 1 of the clubs is gonna give the most definitely Qx guy a boat, that, or he is already holding a club)

Let's also not forget the other dude (UTG) may also have something that can shave down your equity further like him being also on a flush draw (his 50/0 over 4 hands makes it certain he has at least a flush draw, at any rate, if he has a pocket pair, that shaves your club outs to a measly 7 or 6 givng you at most 24% equity in the pot)

Easy fold IMO, unless you enjoy a gamble and want to look like a maniac with taste for danger and suspense.

EDIT: Oh shit I looked back, yeah a call is fine, then I suppose the turn plays itself, my bad.

 

[duggs]

Been on my phone and wanted to be actually able to look at hands.

Hand1
AT looks good, mutliway will increase CO fold % and cold caller can't continue with much even if he is flatting JJ/QQ AK.

Hand2
3b/flop gii, his range has heaps of AKc AQc in it. for all the combos of AJ/AA/JJ/88 combos we see I still think even QQc/KKc or KcQ are going to turn up a bunch. is think we can discount sets/2pair since it makes very little sense to let us see a turn and realize equity (and this int a board we will stab at huge % of time) so basically if he flopped a flush gg. otherwise we are always ahead.

Hand 3
AQs i prob either check back flop or fold when he raises.
turn seems weird but fine, prob have to fire small on rivers to get him to fold similar hands with As/Ks
hand confuses me tbh

hand 4
c/f turn if they were both good. the fact they both look meh based on stats makes me want to b/f small or c/eval sizing.

hand 5

why do we want to c/r gii on flop?
hand looks fine, i prob fold to this sizing but call anything less than $3.3 but thats a villain dependent thing.

Hand 6
love it

Hand 7
c/r is best to protect AJ+. we talked pretty extensively about this one tho.

hand 8
looks thin but fine, just jam tho.

Hand 1

given his stats his raising range is QJ/QK/AQ/22 I'm inclined to just call, can'tsee how jamming is good since we never get it through.

Hand 2
yea jam it imo.

Hand 3
r/c pre, doesn't seem to be even close to gii wide enough

Hand 4, if we assume he is a reg, i don't think we really get much value from raising at any point, he is going to snap fold AK on the river i assume? which is really the next best hand. he has better in his range swell so calling river seems best. OTT he can call with some draws/combos, but we hate it if he jams and we won't be able to vbet river. so we end up raising turn, hoping he calls and checking back river. so i think calling 3 is best.

Hand 5
Looks good, range looks like exactly AK which i guess is the point.

 

[duggs]

next bunch

Hand 1
I mean we chop a bunch, which makes me dislike calling turn or river since we basically need him to have broadways a lot, and he still has TT/88-66 some occasional 9T/89s etc.

Hand 2
no idea, hate SS scum

Hand 3
Are you not tempted to raise turn? 4/K/A are shitty rivers.

 

[duggs]

Hand 4 seems pretty thin v fish, but he is short so i play it the same.

Hand 5

agree with everything you said.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

You do post a lot of hands And I was deliberately avoiding your thread until I had time to respond to the HA stuff. Hopefully add something of value (though duggs usually gets to everything before I do), and if not, at least I know I'm getting something out of it

Post #81:

Hand 1: I probably x/c turn and x/f river tbh. Looks like he might take this line with something like 66-88 or TT. TT might bet the flop though. Now that I'm thinking about it, does his air not just bet the flop?? So can we not just x/f turn?

Hand 2: Looks fine, if only because his bet is polarizing - I doubt he value-jams KJ here. Wish it were Ad river so he can't have AdXd that barreled flush draw, but I think his barrel frequency will be high enough for this to be a profitable call. I mean, we're also getting a pretty sick price, which is nice.

Hand 3: I want to raise turn, but not for same reason as duggs. Not as worried about bad cards coming so much as shoveling as much money in as we can. As played, I think river is a pretty ****ing solid fold. I don't think I'd be capable of it in-game but I think it's the correct play. NH sir.

Hand 4: Ugh, I prob do same but I think we're super close to 0EV here. He just won't be stacking off worse Q's very much, so we need him to have SO many draws. QJ, KQ, AQ all stack this flop, and obviously a lot of his draws have more equity vs. us than he probably even realizes. 1 over + FD = we're ahead but hate life. 2 overs + FD + GS = we're ahead for now but hate life passionately. I'm trying to fire up Pokerstove right now to see what it says, but I'm not fist-pumping.

Hand 5: Agree.

Update:
- was crushing the month but then like Tues-Thursday last week I got destroy for like 12BI a lot of which were bad calls and tilting trying to get even
- took a couple days off and re-worked my game and now almost back to where I was
-hoping to get 80-100k hands this month cause someone said they would review my DB for free if I did

No hands for today but was watching this vid today and might copy it by breaking a whole hand down separating different hands into different ranges an d breaking down the maths cause ive been looking at BTN v blind so much lately its getting kinda boring lol plus i need to bring some attraction to this thread as its pretty much only 3 ppl commenting

Yeah I do that too... well not exactly crushing but something like 7bb/100 and then I lose 3 KK hands in a row in a singles session (2 sets, rivered straight) and then next session spew off 2-3 more buyins to sets.

Like, WTF, then I get it back (more less) and my winrate is suddenly 4 bb/100 damn it!

 

[Logan2]

How many tables are you playing and hours/day?.

Gyraph for the month?

 

[LD1977]

Judging from the whole Zoom thing, I would say he 4-tables for 5 hours to get to 5k session (250 hands per table per hour).

Could be wrong but I thought he meant his sessional win-rate.

makes way more sense lol ty

 

[LD1977]

I meant from a certain point.

Like, since I made the last strategy adjustment (https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cash-games-11/getting-out-big-downswing-238126/) I am doing 4.2 EVbb/100 over 33k hands. Some of the regs are doing over 10 EVbb/100 so I don't think I am doing that great in comparison.

Plus, sometimes I spew/tilt/make stupid mistakes etc. so without those...

I would say crushing is something like 10 EVbb/100, that is surely doable on normal tables (Zoom has lower win rates). I just suck too much to do it.

whats ur actual bb/100? FR FTP, right?

i want to move part of my roll over and give FTP a shot but i need to keep my volume on Stars to try to get SN

 

[LD1977]

Over 66k hands since I came to 25NL it is 1.15 EVbb/100.

Usually when I come to a new level it increases over time a bit until it hits a cap, about that time my BRM kicks in and I move up.

I am going to do it the other way, meaning after I clear FD bonus on FTP I am moving to Stars. FTP doesn't have enough volume so I either have to play bad tables or play at bad times for my time zone.

What's your non-adjusted winrate? Is it very different from the EVbb/100?

 

[LD1977]

Yes it is a bit bigger since I am running above EV.

I don't care about non-adjusted numbers since they are not realistic.

P.S. I am actually having a rather bad session right now (-3 BI while playing decently, just am getting rivered a bit too much) so it is now at 0.66 evBB/100 not exactly brilliant heh
