If i could only watch two an only two i would watch the two to my left they have postion on me an i don't like that.Plus i'm a thief an i love free blinds:)
Edit:but i can watch them all.If you want to punish the villains to your right with a very high PFR make sure there fold to 3bet is real high,with out a top 2-3% hand.And i would only 3bet a depolarized range at 2nl.

Sorry to be such a noob but depolarized range? By that you mean value hands and semi-bluff hands only, as opposed to value hands and bluffs?

Yes
depolarized something like QJs+,KQo+,99+
Polarized(i wouldn't do it at your level) QQ+Ako,56s,67s,A3o,K4o and so worth.Haveing the A or the K is big because they are blockers for villains top part of his range.

Depolarized range = good to great hands
Polarized range = great hands + junky stuff

In other words, I think Joe is saying 3bet value hands only.

Polarised = 90% value 10% bluff
Depolarised = 60% Value 40% bluff

for example

Jurn, are you sure you got that the right way round lol
Seems like your definition of polarised is the opposite to the others.
Tyler is trying to get me to join the skype group, I had imagined you all chatting on mics, but he said its all typing chat...

Dont waste your time with 3betting at your level to be honest. All you should be thinking concerning 3betting at the moment is; is villain to right retarded enough to call a 3bet with something our XX is ahead of, if so then by all means get value from him. If he will fold out instead and only call with better then flat call with your stronger range over his. ~ Or does villain(s) to our right fold a lot to 3bets, then we 3bet him with shit and take his money, but if we're having to think of doing this a lot its probable that we're sitting to the left of tags and nits which are the types of players which fold to 3bets a lot (like most CC'ers myself included), then we are probably the retards for not table selecting well enough.

Basically table select well, abuse fish and by all means steal money off regs and nits when they open a lot from late or middle positions, or ideally sit to my left and do it to me because god knows every other ****er does. Just dont get in to the habit of getting hands like AJ, AQ and 3betting because you are against a fish, put them on a range before planning the hand, if he's 40/7/1 and raises in MP this doesn't mean lets 3bet because we have a good hand and have position, this is maybe a call because we have position against a fish but we're not too happy about it because we're not exactly crushing a 7% range... thats just a mistake i see a lot of people on here making.

sweet flop and nicely played. wtf was villain beating????

It's 2NL, sometimes they shove if they can beat A high...

I played a hand where I was BB. BTN limps, SB completes. I flop a OESD. SB bets, I raise, BTN calls, SB calls. I make the straight on the turn, 6 high straight but the nuts. SB checks, I bet 80% of the pot, both call. River is a blank SB minbets, I raise to put them both all-in. Both call.

SB has a flopped set that until now I don't understand why it was played so passively. I have the straight and the nuts. BTN is even worse than SB. Called raises and a river shove with QJs. There never was any flush draw or anything that justifies what he did but "omg he's bluffing! i haz quinz!" thing.
