Haven't been active lately due to playing poker 5 hours a day on average.
I had to withdraw most of my bankroll a couple of months back (highest I got it to was $1200) and it's now at $782. I have just moved back up to 25nl and I feel I can beat them.
Aim is to get to 100nl (and start beating it) before uni. Obviously if variance kicks in and it doesn't happen then meh, not the end of the world.

Also I won't be biased when posting hands, if I played it awful I will still post it.
Also I will try and post hands that actually have some meaning, e.g. not posting KK v AA etc.

Any reason you're not 3betting JJ to a CO raise but 3bettnig KK or is that standard?

Also; I wonder if calling is better on the flop given we have position? If not, then are we also raising all our range in that spot, like draws/semi bluffs, some bluffs etc? I've just started learning cash games again and these are just questions rather than what I think is right, so not questioning your play, I just wonder of other lines.

nh's, GL in your challenge!

Unknown, I should have 3 bet PF however I wasn't paying attention :S. That's what happens sometimes when I am multi-tabling.

I'll start posting villains stats as well along with any notes I have on them in the future.

I don't think balancing is an issue at 25nl. Especially against an unknown.

He also bets big into two people so in this case I wouldn't be raising any of my draws as it looks like he has a made hand, protecting against draws. This would be exploitable, but not at these stakes against micro players.

Two new hands:

Hand sample: 38 61/26/1.7 Fold 3 bet%: 0 (2)
Villain is a fish (passive by the looks of it), still can't fold though imo, also I saw him raise to 75c on the button before, so makes me think he has weaker hand now:
No point raising, might as well keep his bluffs in if he is spewing (I know very very unlikely but still..)

Another fish here, he had lost big pots recently and seemed to be spewing. I should have raised it bigger pre-flop as he is playing 100% of hands.

Hand 1 you need to be able to fine a fold when Mr. passive station starts betting.

Hard to fold the flop but I don't think you should call the turn.

Doesn't matter. It's enough to know you're chopping at best.

Ye I thought about this hand for a while now and I agree. 99 is more likely than the case Ace as well. Just so hard to fold against a donk playing 2/3 of his hands.

balancing is always an issue even if your opponents aren't thinking about it or exploiting you. if you're not thinking about what your range is in all spots then you aren't improving.

Why is balancing important at 25nl? Exploiting is more important imo, I can think what my range is in spots but if I think someone is strong because they are leading into two players nearly full pot I am not going to raise my draws there because most people won't be able to exploit me not balancing anyway.

Bleh, stuff like this makes me go on mad tilt, had to leave after this donk regular snap called me down with 22, made a note of not to bluff him ever again.
Of course he was Russian.

BTN opener was a LAG stealing 60% of BTN, SB was 3 betting 14% from SB.

Why not make the preflop sizing a bit bigger? Isn't your 4 bet like a min raise?

He's getting 4-1 pre, I think he's going to be calling all his range here,even his middle connecting cards will likely call because we have decent implied odds if you do have over pairs.

Your flop sizing looks really weak too. Given board texture and your 4B, you have more over cards in this spot than pairs. I think if you bet bigger, you get folds but I just feel if I was villian; you would be betting way more on this flop with like TT+. Looking from villians perspective, if he's a reg, he likely knows you will have more air in this spot than actual value hands.


Of course I might well be way off here as I'm still learning but if you was wanting to rep a strong range; I think you would be 4betting bigger pre and post.

Of course I might well be way off here as I'm still learning but if you was wanting to rep a strong range; I think you would be 4betting bigger pre and post.

My range here is ultra ultra strong for cold 4 betting, usually it's only AK, QQ+ (Depending on villains) and most regs know this anyway as hardly anyone 4 bets cold without a nut hand PF, so no, overall my range is actually high PP's crushing him.

We also don't need to make the 4 bet size any bigger because, like I said my range is crushing his so 4:1 isn't going to be good enough odds for him to even call most of the time as he has bad reverse implied odds with most of his 3 betting range, e.g. If he has KQ or K10 and hits a K on the flop I stack him 100% of the time with most of my range.

Also as a rule of thumb, 4 bets don't need to be bigger than this size for reasons I already said, I usually go by 2x IP, 2.5x OOP.

My flop sizing is actually the same with my entire range here because I assumed that villain was actually competent (played hands together before) and that this board completely misses his 4 bet calling range (4 bet calling range is usually non-existant with most regs as people rather 5 bet shove or fold, but usually it's AQ+, 1010+)

I also very rarely have 1010 here against most people unless he knew that I was 3 betting a wider range because BTN steals light and he knew that he 3 bet a wide range also (I doubt this was the case because no good player calls a flop c-bet with 22, let alone in cold 4 bet pot).

Even if I do have complete air I can still barrel turn/river and/or catch up as I still have good equity with all my hands against 22.

His call PF is okay if he thinks he can stack me most of the time he hits a set but his call on the flop was awful, no matter which way you look at it.

BB is a decent regular, CO is a fish.

I thought about checking to trap OTT to make sure the regular didn't fold his Ace if he had one, but decided against it as I thought the fish could still call with worse hands anyway and didn't want to lose a street of value or for another heart to come off.

Should have bet more or even over bet on the river as I put him on an Ace and that's really one of the only hand I can get value from as I doubt he folds AX so a big bet makes more sense than anything else, also if he check-shoves on me (unlikely) I can easily call the remainder off.

Villain was an aggressive fish.

Villain snap-called my c-bet OTF, usually a sign of weakness.

Stats: 22/17/2.3 Flop/turn/river agg: 48 (21) /54 (13)/60 (5)
Fold to c-bet% IP: 0 (4)
3 bet % 7.4

If I was good on the turn I was good on the river so I called, especially with his fold to c-bet stat IP and aggression I thought I was good 1:4 times to break even. Not many hands he reps either. Would A8 do this? Only A6, A8 (maybe), 99, 1010, JJ (unlikely)

I should have check/folded to the river, don't like the c-bet, this board hits his range bang on and he can check-raise me a lot on the flop. Also if I was c-betting this board I should have made it around $5.50 - Ramdeebam this is a good example of where I should have bet bigger.

Villain Stats: 23/20/3.3 3 bet % from SB: 18.2 (22)

I can easily shove river with my missed hands here and I sometimes would so betting smaller makes no sense.

99: Well played


44: Bet more on the flop, and probably more on the river. Aggressive fish hate folding top pair.

77: I think the x/c line is fine given how weak his bet sizing is. This actually is an example of the half pot bet/ pot odds you'r getting. You don't think he reps much which he doesn't.= as we see he turns over complete air. Over pairs are betting much bigger in general to get value from the worse pairs. Like the AQ hand you 4bet the other day; when I was trying to explain about your sizing pre and post flop. Your line just didn't look credible for a big hand as you would never bet half pot if you actually did have AA/KK for example.


K5: You really need to stop the min 4bets pre imo, especially even more so with garbage hands like this. You're 4bet bluffing here, you don't want calls..yet you're giving people insanely good odds to call which makes 4betting a waste of time. You may as well just muck. Given how poor our hand is; all the Kx hands he 3bet pre are all calling and literally all have you dominated.

Even suited connectors are all calling, all of which have decent equity vs you. Yeah your right, your cbet sizing again is way to small which you said but why aren't you barrelling the best card in the deck on the turn? Given we 4bet pre; he called our flop bet, he probably has Jx/Qx and if you fire a decent turn bet he's almost always folding. Also; the river shove..not a fan, I mean..your range consists of exactly Kx when you do this as there are no bluffs in your range. Given his x/c on the flop, he likely has a pair. If you bet smaller, you might get some value from some worse hands.





All in all; I just think you need to stop the min 4bets pre and your general bet sizing needs to be more.

44: Hard for fish to catch anything on this flop especially when he checks so I didn't want to be too big OTF. I agree with the river though.

77: My line the other day was for a completely different situation, I was IP and it was a 3 bet pot, I didn't need to bet any bigger than half pot because I could get stacks in by river if I had AA anyway, and as I said that board doesn't connect with most regulars 4 bet calling range anyway. I still disagree, I thought my line looked fine.

K5: It seems that you don't understand the concept of the 4 bet. There isn't any reason to make it bigger at all, the aim is to make the pot large enough to get stacks in by the river, 100BB's deep a MR 4 bet to ~20 BB's is perfectly fine. If I was OOP I would make it ~25 BB's.

This also allows me to MR 4 bet bluff against opponents with extremely high 3 bet % as in the above example. Also he isn't getting the odds needed to call with most of his hands unless he thinks I am 4 bet bluffing a ton (which I'm not, it just happens I did a few recently) as he has bad reverse implied odds.

My cards really didn't matter, a hand with more value would have been better but I thought he would fold most of his 3 betting range to make it profitable.

Also if I 4 bet MR AA here I have to do the same with K5.

I can give many many examples of where I 4 bet aggressive 3 bettors min and they have to fold.

One from today:
Villain is a LAG.
Villain 3 bet stat from BB: 14.8% (27)

Most villains at these stakes aren't willing to 5 bet bluff a whole stack off either to win the small 4 bet.

Also I risk $4.25 to win $3.6~, great odds when he is 3 betting a wide range that can't continue.

Also suited connectors aren't calling, this would be a serious mistake from villain imo at these stakes. Most of the times you will have to check/fold and if you hit a pair and see aggression your going to be guessing. It's either a small 5 bet bluff with these hands or a fold, and hardly anyone 5 bet bluffs at 25nl.

Unknown player, looked semi-decent due to his stack-size, 3 bet sizing etc.
Not many FD's in his range apart from AKc/h and maybe AQc/h.
Doubt anyone checks QQ+ here either with double flush draw on board.
So best way to get value is to let him catch.

Villain was an unknown, but most likely a fish due to stack size/playing 1 table.

As he was unknown I didn't want to check-raise river because I wasn't sure if he would bet a queen/Ace or call check-raise anyway so just decided to near-pot it.

OTT, trying to get value from club flush draws/QX/KX.

Villain was unknown/hidden, OTT it looks like he's setting up a river shove with a strong hand, can't fold though. OTR I beat no value hands apart from JJ.
In hindsight I probably should have bet turn around half pot and shoved river.
