On my way home, ****ing 17 hour session of pure retardation. Won 4,100 but was up as much as 10 at 1 point. Ran weird throughout the night.


Will update my thread when I wake up. I imagine I'll be in hybernation

Here here.

I met a like minded colleague recently and our talks about poker re inspired both of us. We're both staring 2016 with new strategies and already seeing success in how we play. I'm proud of how I've grown as a player and a person and already seeing what study and grinding can do to my game. My goals for 2016 are to finally realize profit online and start hitting the local casinos for action for the first time

Is 3.5 still standard preflop raise? Haven't we trended downwards a bit.

In. Somehow missed last month's thread. 2015 was awful. Didn't even bother looking at the year's results.

HH:

Game was doing rounds of NL/PLO, I just sat down and only know 3 or 4 guys. Everyone is decently deep enough, like 100bbs+, but no mega stacks like 300+deep.

Villain: Local pro. Definitely a good player and has a wsop bracelet, which he was not wearing at the time. This spawned a 45 minute discussion about how he should wear it everywhere, yada yada, etc. Only mentioning because I think it just show's he's probably not an egomaniac.


Anyways....


Hero is dealt KK9T ds, pots to 30$ on btn, villain immediately repots out of SB, all folds to hero who flats.

Flop: AKJ dd (not hero's suit, no bd fd)
pot: Roughly 250$

SB leads out for 150$, hero flats.

Turn: Jd (AKJddd)
pot: About 550$

SB tanks for 30 seconds, checks....Hero bets 275$, villain proceeds to jam about 1.2k total.

(Granted, that might be a bit more than pot, but rules were sort of lax)

Math wise we need like 2/1? Calling off 1k to win 2k, but just doesn't seem like a lot of hands we are ahead of that would c/r so strong.

OTOH, he's a very good player, has minimal reads on me, and that's a scary turn card for all straight/flushes.


WUG marg?


edit: Probably should have mentioned that nobody in this game really "plays" PLO more than occasionally. It's mostly just a 5/10 NL game, but this one guy apaz loves PLO, so they play it when he's around. I think the flop bet sizing is an instant tell about the weakness of the game.

Just out of curiosity, why is the flop bet sizing bad?

Secondly, this is perfect spot to check the turn.

Its a meh spot, It is probably a fold but it is also a spot where you seldomly have AA although it isn't inconceivable.

If he had Axxx it would be a super spot to rep it but that requires some metagame. Its just so meh for him to do this with AA but the check is also pretty retarded if you are c/r with AA

ALSO, learn to calculate pot, 1.2k is less than a pot size bet there. Pot is actually 1,325.

Someone (aka you) told me to just always pot flops in PLO, don't bother betting anything less than pot otf lol.

Yeah, I like checking back looking at it again.

I don't bother calculating pots, I don't ever play PLO. Plus, this game is usually a no limit-omaha when it runs. For some reason, they decided to actually play it pot-limit like it should be

Flop bet is fine. I almost certainly call the shove. Depends how good is good though. Turn play is bit weird with AAxx. Curious if the Ad was on board, as well as reasoning for betting on the turn.

Ad on board


As for betting turn, I'm just a massive PLO fish and decided to bet for value against straights/flushes/KJ/AJ/Jx. I thought he would continue w/his air since it's a good card to represent some big hands and if he does have straight/flush, it seems like a spot he'd want to control pot size.

Looking back, I think I like check back turn, evaluate river better in the future.
