***April Cash Game Thread***

[WVHillbilly]

But I have an A+ on turn on river aggression, that's the only redeeming feature of my entire poker career

I have a D on turn, F on River for being "too aggressive". Might explain my red line.

 

[polakpoker4]

I think it says that they take the stats of the top 10 winning players at that stakes and compare you to them. It doesn't mean youre doing anything wrong or correct though.

Goal for April: Play good. Simple.

I average a D postflop, I am too aggressive.

In. Already up 1.5buyins this month, hopefully the end of this month matches the beginning unlike March.

Best way of getting value here anyone? Anyone like leading? C/R? Guy seems pretty arrgo pre, not had that many hands post-flop to really have that much info on his game. Although, seen as he isn't rebuying for full, i assume he's not great

 

[polakpoker4]

I probably lead there because a flop c/c, turn c/r looks super strong. You're better off donking and hoping he spazzes or has some kind of overpair...


April is off to a great start... Up 5.5 buyins so far

Edit: Goal #2: Get ironman for this month. Havent played on FTP for a while so starting from scratch again unfortunately

 

[WVHillbilly]

I don't like leading the turn. He'll either fold or call once and fold / ch back the river. I check again on the turn. I c/r and ch/c/lead about equal amounts on the turn.

I've yet to come across any reg, mindless or not, who's adjusting well to this. How would YOU adjust to it, even now that you have perfect information about my ranges?

Just to be clear, I wasn't disagreeing. Just commenting that your range is only masked against someone who's relying entirely on their stats rather than actually watching what's going on.


As for the adjustments I would make.
1: BBvsSB, SB is completely screwed. If I'm in SB against you or anyone who defends wide enough, my VPIP/PFR will be about 20/20. If you still raise it wide then I'll start 4betting light.
2: Unless I'm playing more tables than I should be, I will have seen your raises BBvsSB and will assume you know what you're doing (i.e. it's standard) and wont be underestimating your range in other situations.

I don't expect to make money from the SB with a decent player in the BB, but I do my best not to donate (fortunately for me, I don't think I've seen a decent BB yet, but then I'm not playing 200nl).

 

[c9h13no3]

While you ****ers are discussing adjusting to regs who open wide in the SB, I'm crushing the shit out of drooling fish...

Fake hh ITT. No one gets that many cards!

Just to be clear, I wasn't disagreeing. Just commenting that your range is only masked against someone who's relying entirely on their stats rather than actually watching what's going on.

you're overestimating the ability of the human mind to learning ranges from observing the game. At 200nl+, very few hands go to showdown because people play so aggressively, and estimating frequencies from non showdown hands is almost impossible.

So unfair. He has a 4 card straight and a black flush. That should beat you three threes.

 

[eNTy]

pretty interesting discussion going on on 2p2 (but in a retarded way)
the situation is sb opens 50%
hero has A5o in the bb.

3bet or flat ?

(i think both have merits but i cant decide which i like better, nor put my reasoning why into a coherent sentence)

 

[blankoblanco]

what is sb's fold to 3bet, or do we not know? does he play well postflop or do we not know?

 

[BelgoSuisse]

Also, how much does he cbet and stuff?

BB vs. SB, if villain cbets enough, I usually prefer flatting pre and raising small on his cbet with monsters and air than 3betting pre. There's a lot more dead money that way.

 

[blankoblanco]

good way to start to april for me (didn't play yesterday) first time i've been freerolling and hit in months!

you guys think the jam is optimal? villain is unknown. my hand is so gin i could make it like 40ish but i think that his c/r is so strong on that board, and i think shoving looks enough like a draw that two pair won't fold. didn't really want to let him flat a small raise and then have something stupid like an A, J, 9 come off

Pigeons outperform humans at the Monty Hall Dilemma

Pigeons would probably beat us at poker too, since it calls for similar skills. Good thing we only play humans (and bots?).

And seriously, this explains why poker is such a difficult game for most humans.

 

[tpb221]

Anyone know how to use PT3 to filter for when the SB opens and we're in the BB?

Don't know how to put it in the hud but you can check you stats in PT3.
Goto 'Positions' tab and hit the wrench on right and you'll see several fiters for BB vs SB

 

[absoluthamm]

I like the jam blanko. The only thing I would be afraid of is that maybe he's thinking you were trying to steal pre and then just putting out your standard CB so by ch/raising he might be thinking he can chase you out. But in that case, if he was just doing that with air, he wouldn't be calling any raise regardless so it wouldn't matter the size.

Thanks. I'll try that out tonight.

yeah they didnt really give much info
but i was thinking the same as belgo, that its more +ev to take the flat line and outplay post than just 3bet (and get 4bet some of the time probably if hes a reg)
do you not like flatting if villain doesnt cbet often (plays fit or fold post) ? is that because you think he will check/call a lot or what ?

btw i saw FP said something about the only adjustment sb can make is 4bet/fold more, does this imply you 5bet bluff shove a lot from BB ?

Just read it, and I'm still lost. Maybe I'm too old (and less kid-like or pigeon-like)

you're lost about what?

 

[NineLions]

I'm not following how eliminating one wrong door changes the odds on the remaining two.

Or rather, why your pick now still has a 1/3 chance of being wrong, and how the other door now has a 2/3 chance of being right.

 

[WVHillbilly]

Because unless you picked right at the start (1 in 3 times) the other door is always the car after the host eliminates a goat door.
