Hello John,

I was wondering if it's possible to grind them on a desktop? Like are these type of rooms mobile only and if yes can you emulate them, or is it even allowed to do so?

And what about handhistories ?

you can use emulators to run them + some have their own pc versions. But running multiple emulators is a huge load on the pc so you should have a decent one
Some apps heavily ban huds(pppoker - I'm device banned there)
While you can use hud catchers to use hud in others. Drive hud has it's own hud catcher I believe
While you can use something like elitehud catcher for pt4/hm3

Sweet, thanks for the info!
Tbh I don't care much wich HUD it is, but the fact that can use one is great. Tracking hands is the one thing that keeps me on the bigger sites.

What about volume? Since the main sites don't really like winning players I can't imagine it's that much different over there. Any problems encourtered so far regarding volume, withdraw etc? Like there will obv be black sheep, guess I'm just a bit paranoid Polished Poker Vol. I Study Group

volume is quite low. You'd have to run multiple accounts on multiple clubs to keep a decent volume.
Withdrawals are heavily leaned towards crypto now. Also you need to find a really trustworthy agent. I've heard tons of stories of agents scamming playersof their money.

If some agent gives you a money guarantee, has a reputable site or something with a decent enough rb deal then that's the way to go.
If someone texts you on skype or telegram offering you a very high deal then that's a red alert cause those are the people who go missing out on you

Thank you a lot for the insight!

I will have a look around and see what I can gather. If nothing this could be some nice +ev grind on the side.

#6261 August 17th, 2020, 6:04 PM

Nice hand Bruce. Calling pre is good.I don't do much leading but it you think it will check around then seems like a good idea. I'd bet the pot on the flop. I would consider checking the turn if we think they like betting draws.

#6262 August 17th, 2020, 6:20 PM

This one was fun but confusing. I have the monster draw but many of my outs are going to be no good. I'd be happy with a low spade or the Ks for sure but other than those cards I'm not sure which if any of my outs besides Ks are good. This felt grimey...

For me off those stats he's basically saying he has TT or a strong Jx. With you in EP hes saying he can beat AA or has a strong draw.
KQs and maybe 89s are about the only draws I can see.
I dont think he folds anything if you reraise on the flop so thats a coinflip or slightly worse.
There is though some uncertainty with only 40 odd hands.

If you are only chasing a flush you don't really have the odds to call the flop.

Yes you can grind them on a desktop. We have two solutions, either Drivehud, which has an internal catcher built in, or a stand alone app - asian hand converter, which can be used with other HUDs like hm3/2, pt4, etc...

https://drivehud.com/asianhandconverter/

Our converters work extremely well with several emualors, Ldplayer, Nox, and bluestacks.

Yeah, with a monster nut flush draw OOP there, it's better to c/c. Especially with the amounts people are betting ranges now a days, it's just a much better play rather than gambling for stacks.

I was playing tight and had just lost a 44$ pot to UTG2 AK v AQ the previous hand.
CO is a decent reg who likes to 3bet me in position.
I was suprised by his flat here, flop hits his range hard here. I'm not sure on flop bet sizing and turn check, any suggested improvements and are you calling it off?

If you could make some vids using the range analyzer and charts from the hh replayer I'd be into it.

Have you been playing much lately?

This is a shitty spot but if i may suggest getting him to 4bet you pre? it'd make this a lot easier to play lol..

The only thing I really do not like is the flop sizing. I'd bet pot or near it if i was to bet. I'd prefer a check especially against a good opponent.

I would not call that river and I would consider check folding the turn. Unless he's passive on the river and will allow a showdown often we're just going to get punished every time.

So if it were me I probably would have c/c flop then c/f the turn. no shame, this board just sucks for KK

Turn you can c/f since this was a MW flop. As played, I think you can call for the split. If your read is correct the only Q he should have is QQ, which is a bit unlikely.
