River: (105.7 BB, 2 players) T:diamond:
BB bets 90.5 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 90.5 BB

Are we fine with this hand being a candidate for 4betting? Are we fine with the postflop line? I feel like we have alot of Ax that also xb. and i block KK/99 which are both hands we want to fold out, we do block AK which is nice tho.

I like your flop and turn sizing. On the river the advice I've had in this spot is to bet what you'd be prepared to call in this spot. Here I'd be trying to also size to something that Qx can call so maybe something in the 90-105bb range. If you bet size in this range and you then get raised it is usually less likely to be a bluff.
I think your sizing more likely to induce a bluff and you may have lost value from AQ in particular.
Mind you I can also see some benefit in the 55bb sizing, if he just decided to call with something like JT then you saved a chunk and he might be inclinded to call with the weaker parts of his range TT 99 88, maybe even the odd AhKx which got to the river and looks for a chop.

9 K
Perfectly decent hand for 4betting, if he re-raises its an easy fold, I might make the sizing just a few bb more bearing in mind he made it 10 bb and we are looking to end the hand now. The rest of the hand is fine, he's 3betting fairly wide I'd expect to see Ax here a lot so definitely calling.

Hero has XX
Not a lot to go on from the stats so I'd be focusing on his bet sizing which with half pot flop and near full pot turn just looks like he wants a fold. Putting him bluff heavy here so I'd proceed with all pairs, any gutshots like 9T JT J9 and AK.

I'm not a great fan of just calling here against an unknown when I have no idea of his bluffing frequencies. What are you going to do if the river comes anything between a 2 and an 8 and he bombs it and we have only bluff catcher? I would prefer to either have raised flop or turn here depending on my holding.

KK im not super concerned about being bluffed on the river, people underbluff in 250bb 4bet pots. If he pulls the trigger then good for him, I figured he has a reasonable chunk of 7x in his range and i want QT/99/88 etc to call aswell as QA/QK. maybe i missed a chunk of value with my sizing.

K9dd Yea river is trivial just wondering about turn.

XX interesting, given sizing I would have assumed the complete opposite on the turn.
regarding raising QQ4 is not a flop that we can really raise alot of our range on. Plus we have position so calling flop with most of our holding and not having a raising range looks like a better strategy. Given board texture and sizing i dont really see a reason for not just calling/folding our entire range on the turn either.

Frankly im calling pretty tightly on the turn here, so im not going to have that many bluff catchers that im going to have to defend. my defending range probably looks like 67s+ ATs-AQs AJo-AQ KJs+ 55-JJ AA given depth. Im continuing with 44 77+ Qx and backdoor nutflush draws on the flop.

K9 I'm probably only calling that sizing because the flush will be backdoor and disguised which gives us the implied to some more of his stack.

Re the XX scenario, big bet on the turn. To me it's polarised to nuts or air. I just find the half pot flop, full pot turn, is nearly always air or semi bluffs. In my experience at these limits most will make value sizings of between 2/3 to 3/4 pot on both flop and turn hoping to get calls from draws and weaker hands.
full pot on the turn just folds out most of the weaker hands and prices out draws.
I will run some filters on this and have a look at what I can find.

In! I don't really have any thoughts to contribute yet, sorry Duggs. I have read over the hands though. I'm gonna sit back and wait until I hopefully have some valuable input to add.

Sorry you are too high for me to comment, I say if I find anything opionical. What level you played before? Seems it took only 2k hands to you figure game back, superior job!

"good spot for an overbet?" For value yes, for bluff can't see that, UTG raises you on the turn, worst he has is AK =)

thats silly anyone can comment on hands! That 2k is actually only a single session btw.

regarding that hand, he raises turn, flush completes and then he checks, pretty sure i can have flushes and he cant? If thats the case we can overbet bluffs and value here

#3 Not sure if this is smart or horribad, villain is a fairly decent reg. im 4betting QQ/KK/AA v him. xb is fairly standard as villain isnt calling with worse. J is kinda a shitty turn but villain will have AK/KK/AA/QQ/99+ plus some random floats id imagine. river seems like a cool spot to bluff trying to make AA/KK fold, the line is also consistent with how i would play QQ or JJ if i 4bet pre thoughts?

Sorry you are too high for me to comment, I say if I find anything opionical. What level you played before? Seems it took only 2k hands to you figure game back, superior job!

"good spot for an overbet?" For value yes, for bluff can't see that, UTG raises you on the turn, worst he has is AK =)

oops forgot to answer your question, i used to play deep stacked tables and was a reg at 50nl, I dabbled at 100nl but generally got my ass handed to me

"we can overbet bluffs and value here" imo not in 2NL or 5NL zoom, I would say 10NL might not be that different. Calling mistakes are very common when you bet!

Yea but i feel like almost all regs are bet/folding rivers too often (often because noone is bluffing rivers enough)

The KQ hand for example, I feel like AA/KK are going to fold, and im getting called by QQ/JJ.

I feel like if i only overbet value im making fairly large errors one way or another depending on the villain, but if i do it somewhat balanced then its just punishing him for capping himself

cliffs since we last chatted,

I now speak an extra language

The winter darkness has awakened my urge to play poker

I went down the rabbit hole of playing Heroes of might and magic 3 on my laptop and it was glorious

(at least pretend to look at some of the hands, some of them even get moderately deep)

Wow good for you dude - learning another language is something I'd love to do but I've accepted I will probably never again have time for. I am sure I could get fluent at Spanish pretty quickly if I wanted because I took it for 5 years in school. Not that I was ever fluent, but I've got the foundation so if I wanted to learn it would mostly be relearning some conjugations, a lot more verbs, and a ton of vocabulary.

Hand #1 K8hh: I am mostly in this spot thinking about what range we get to the river with, and I think we are probably way too high up in it to consider folding. But that being said we don't beat anything in the value range he's repping, so... There's that. If we want to exploitively fold strong hands I think I would prob still hold onto this one but I don't hate a fold exactly.

Hand #2 88 Overbet: Feels like we only rep 66 since we'd typically bet our pure air like 76s and 86s on the flop? But I could be off and don't know your range (or perceived range) here.

Hand #3 Bluff Shove Top Pair: So it's kind of tricky when we block QQ but also block KK and AK. I also have NO clue how often we get AA to fold (if ever) so that's a pretty big factor in this decision. I understand why you'd target that, but it feels like we are never getting villain to ONLY call with the 4 combos of sets he can have, so we are probably getting called by AA imo.

All in all I don't love it, but I have zero experience in the games you're playing so it's kind of hard to comment.
