GTO Aware But Anti.... Kon’s Korner....

[kon44]

I like the 4 bet but with a pair of Tens you could jam it all in or call and evaluate the flop. You get overcards on the flop 70% of the time so could be hard to play when you don't make a set. U made a set but preflop your opponent raised you than called your 4 bet. What is his range? Is that flop better for him or you? He probably puts you on a strong pair or better Ace so I would be betting all three streets build the pot get max value.

I’m always looking for sets if I can, they are the easy fire way for over pot gains to be had. All these players acting like bots is harrowing lol. I jump in and cause mayhem

WHEN THE WORKS DONE FOR YOU!!!!
After some pretty sick coolers in NLHE50 I jumped up to NLHE100. 2 hands you couldn’t dream for better lol.

The first guy tanked forever then jammed on the TRN, I three throwable say the 2nd guy lol when I min raised the TRN lead from him... Bonus he had the A as I was hoping he would jam.

Cold calling a 3bet with 43s! There truly are fish at all stakes, nice hand ( though I would have folded pre)

I know insane, can’t say I haven’t done the same though lol... He got what he was after lol haha. One of my all time live big pots is 45d, it’s my favourite hand lol. Massive multi-way pot of 5 runners where flop was A45 after a pre raise I wasn’t priced into sort of. Turn was 5, AK and AQ was on the table and and KKs. KK bet out, I flat, AK shoved, AQ called, KK folded and I was like..... BOOM thank you. Not sure where the other guy was maybe folded after AQ called AK shove.

This is pretty much what online poker seems to be in the pots that matter the most. But we are told to ignore these, as they are a wash in the long run - we are both on the giving and receiving end of them. That is, unless you don't enter that kind of pot with the low suited hand to hit your flush against the full house.

I won’t comment on previous streets because they have been okay. Now here comes the juicy, the precious reason why do we play cash: to face weaker opponents, whether they are tilted or not.
It is just amazing to see how much and many fishes are there, even playing NLHE 100.
Thanks for giving us more hope to play cash games, and to give one more proof the game isn’t rigged, it was never rigged, and the only thing that is really rigged is the mind of some poor souls!

BB shows K♣ A♠ (two pair, Aces and Nines)

This hand was well played by both players. Unfortunately Villain caught you on the top of your range. Fortunately to you mate, congratulations, I feel happy for you as if I was the one playing those hands, as always, wish you all the best success at the tables and onto your grinding.

The hard part is finding these players and finding these spots. They are out there but a lot of the time they don't play the way these players do.

You don’t search for em, they are always there and we can also be them at times. They exist in every level too... I’ve just returned from a night of poker to which I return to in 6hrs or so. I played one of the most cut throat tables I’ve played in a long time and made the most amazing of reads and plays I’ve caused quite a commotion lol. The games is the same at every level, it’s wether thou let the actual stakes phase you or not is the factor.... once again going against the gain..All that play with 100 buys ins nonsense.... That’s the bot like player s they want you to be

Do you think hard to find fishes? At lower stakes there are basically more fishes than regulars. And the regulars are easy to beat, most of them play straightforward ABC poker.
And I’m impressed by the huge amount of fishes present in higher stakes such as NLHE 25, 50 and 100.
