Can I fold with this SPR post? Is villain only repping AQ/QQ vs overplaying 1010/JJ, somehow a flush draw? Is sigh getting it in the best play?

This is the nittery I am being exposed too. In a way it is kind of nice to not be put to tough decisions all the time but is kind.... extremely boring. My vpip was 22/18 which isn't even tight for FR. Table was good though, just posted this for lulz

Yeah I think I need to be squeezing AJo/AQo hands and playing from there. Flatting them is almost always going multiway and they don't make too great of hands. KQ I wasn't playing scared, I mean I am 4 bet bluffing haha, I was never folding after flopping top pair in a 4 bet pot but I wanted him to spaz if he flatted any suited connectors and let him bet middling pairs against what looks like AK from me. Maybe betting flop and checking turn, jam river line might be a little better to avoid giving free cards. But I don't think he is ever getting it in with 88-JJ if I bet flop jam turn.

 

[IPlay]

Super rough last month but I did put the most volume in online then I have in a long time. Still fell short of the 50k goal but I ran terrible all month and that really deters me from putting the volume in. Still managed to somehow churn a little profit, somehow. It is funny because if you look purely at my EV line it looks like I ran good but the real run bad didn't come in the form of all ins but in the form of running like garbage in every big pot, mainly 3 bet pots and never getting paid on any of my big hands like when I flopped straight over straight and villain check/called me down... etc... Going to grind out full ring for this next month and should have no distraction but 50k hands will be incredibly hard to get considering I can only get ~200 hands/hour but I should have no problem putting in 10 hour days. Lets see how this goes! At the end of the month I am leaving to Colorado to do some non poker work so I really want to go as hard as possible and burn myself out before the "work trip"

 

[IPlay]

Well, I am going to attempt to bring this thread back to life. I am back from my 2 month trip to Colorado and it was a great experience but didn't end up as profitable as I hoped.

I made a deposit on ACR about 3 days ago and have got in about 8.5k hands at 2NL. And I'm a LOSER! Haha, only about 6 buy ins but I did attempt 20 tabling and set up Table Tamer and probably hurt my game in doing so but I am playing 2NL till I get comfortable with a certain number of tables and 12 seems to be that number.

As most of you know ACR is a very different beast from Bovada and much more reg heavy plus other players have detailed stats on me so I really need to clean up my game. So I am once again, starting from the bottom and have a $200 bankroll atm. Anyway, I have some flush hands to post and wanted some opinions on them.

I am not so sure about pre in this hand but I do have 36% equity against his range, position and a hand that will play well post flop and the blinds are nits that are never 3 betting light. With that said I have adjusted my IP calling range vs a reg UTG open to this.

22-99,ATs-AQs,KQs,QJs,JTs,T9s,98s,AQo. What do you guys think of this range? Anywho, here is the hand.

I think I can find folds at some points in all these hands but I'm not sure.

I'll start with the third hand, 3d-2d...

Just fold pre. I personally just never play 2-3, suited or not. That is pretty much all there is to it. We don't have to defend our BB here, just let the dude have the two cents.



The 6c-5c hand....

I would play this hand IP. I would also play it similarly on the flop.

On the turn, when you raise, why are you raising so big? It goes $0.18, to $0.84... Raise to an amount he can call with worse, like maybe $0.45- $0.50. You are coming out and telling the guy you have a flush, and he says OK, and ships it on ya... we could have saved money here.

 

[IPlay]

I raised so big because of how strong his range is on the turn. He is going to have a lot of better flush draws, Top pair good kicker hands with flush draws, sets. You do make a point about making my hand obvious but to be fair I would also make this raise with the Ac some of the time.

Also agree I could have let the 32 go pre. Was just one of those spots where we were going against each other a lot and I widened my range, which is fine but 32 is too wide.

yay make me proud man

Hey Iplay, got a question for ya. How do you get PT4 to show all neat and proper? I am new to pt4 and when I post them they show up like the ones bean quoted, with the font color crap all in them. I don't know if its a CC setting or what, because when i paste them in and look at them they look fine, but when I post them they screw up. Thanks...Tal

Congrats. Very nicely played

It happens when you edit. When you copy and paste from PT4 just hit submit, don't preview the post or edit the post after you post it. If you MUST update the post afterwards you will have to delete the old HH and post a new one. Super weird but it is what it is.

 

[IPlay]

Here is a couple interesting hands.

I could have played this hand a lot of ways but overall I like it. Villain is a short stacking reg with an AFq of 41.

Pre is debatable is this hand but I am trying a strategy of flatting EP opens with 100% of my range if folded to me. If there is a raise and call I would 3 bet these hands. I think I should 3 bet an ISO pre but villain in this hand is overall pretty aggro with stealing/3 betting. AFq 48%

JTs raise flop... build the pot up, we have a big hand here and the board is working for us . raise flop and shove turn would've been best.

AK: Because you flat pre you get the uncomfortable spot. River is a fold because I can't see AJ doing this but its possible, villain will have AQ here or set. I wouldn't mind a raise on the turn, it'll be hard to bluff us off on the river and we get our answer cheaper.

Jh-10h hand.....

I like pre just fine.

Flop I am torn between C/R and flatting. We obviously don't want to see a Q, K or A on the turn (unless it's a heart), so for that reason I kinda like C/R for protection/value, however.....


On the other hand, we allow V to play perfectly if he just folds, which he probably will only continue with big draws and over pairs, better 10x, so for that reason I think I like flatting better. What will we get value from? We are OOP, and if called, and we barrel Turn, and he calls, yeah, we really don't know where we are.

So I don't mind just keeping dude's air in, and just calling. But if Ks rolls off, and dude bets again, well, you know, we gotta make a decision...


So, as played I don't mind anything at all. We gotta fold the river though. We beat nothing. Bluffs only. I think he has a flush or 6-6? I dunno. Fold though.

Well played by you IMO.



Ah-Kh hand...

UTG limps, MP raises to 4x, we flat, UTG flats....

So we could easily 3b this pre, however, based on my very limited understanding of the stats, I assume this villain is very TAG, he 3b somewhat often, and he will have position on us.... so, yeah, I could just call as well and play a smaller pot.

I honestly don't mind either choice.

As played, yeah I call. This dude could easily overplayed A-J, A-10, but it does kinda smell like A-Q, but we in no man's land cause we OOP.

So we are back to 3b pre, hand is easier to play, we take initiative, control, whatever. I think you can't really you ever go wrong 3b pre this spot. If he 4b us we need to make a decision.... so we are kinda turning A-K into a bluff if we 3b and don't have a plan already for what we do if 4b. Like I would be thinking ahead, "will this guy 4b me with worse? Is he likely to 4b me? If he does, am I just getting it in and flipping (at best)?


I like 3b pre, but I hate being OOP. Your choice.


That's my thoughts, take them or leave them.

Agree with the J10 and I do raise these hands often but I prefer to do so with middle/bottom pair hands because we can get more top pair folds and when we do have top pair and the flush draw I feel like it is kind of like a set on a draw flop because we are not really scared of any turn card. Sure there is 3 aces that I wouldn't be a fan of but I would only consider folding turn if he made a good sized over bet. River fold didn't feel great but I think bad regs at this stake will check back turned flush draws and play them exactly like this. My least favorite part of this hand is my river sizing. It is too big for his calling range and my logic was to make him bluff catch light but what can he really bluff catch with? I kind of doubt Ace highs cbet this flop IP but who knows sometimes.

AK I agree this hand should be a 3bet pre because I don't want to go multiway with this hand and villains range should be slightly wider since it is an isolation. I also think I could safely fold to a 4 bet because his range would be so tight in this scenario.

Jh10h, I folded, don't know what villain had but I think it was a good fold.

AK I used my whole time bank and called fearing AQ but I figured I was too underrepped and he could be overvaluing an Ace(unlikely) or betting AK and this is the strongest hand I could have with this line so I think I just can't fold, especially vs a semi aggro. He showed AQ

Well boys, I felt what it was like to be a winner at 2NL and I must admit. FeelsGoodMan. Technically I am losing again but rakeback has me in the green so I am officially a 2NL rakeback grinder! Haha, the volume is really awesome on ACR and I've played almost 15k hands in the last 4 days and casually grinded out 2.7k hands in a 3 hour session before work today. Here is my sloppy, swingy graph and I have been multi tabling about 12 tables on average and it is for sure affecting my game a little bit BUT that is why I am at 2NL until I get used to the volume and the feel of the games/software.

Posting a token hand. Do you jam flop? Fold turn? A couple different options on both streets that seem OK. AFq 65

I dont think its a good play at 2nl. I know we block straights but opponent wont have flush draws here. He wil have Ax here 2pairs or a naked Ace. They just dont fold enough at this level.

How many folds do u need to make it +ev? 66%? not sure tbh so ill ask.

 

[braveslice]

Yeah, what @Aces says.

There is no need to force the wins happen; there are so many opportunities just to follow the flow for big win rate.
