Pretty standard stuff imo to get him off high cards, depending on turn card I could also shove, e.g. Q,J,A,K.

Another example of hand today, 2.5x 4 bet OOP and board that completely misses my villains 3 bet/4 bet calling range apart from overpairs.
If I had AA I would bet the exact same to set up a turn shove.

K5: It seems that you don't understand the concept of the 4 bet. There isn't any reason to make it bigger at all, the aim is to make the pot large enough to get stacks in by the river, 100BB's deep a MR 4 bet to ~20 BB's is perfectly fine. If I was OOP I would make it ~25 BB's.


I'm not saying I'm an expert by any means, but the concept you seem to apply with your 4bets especially 4 bet bluffs are bad imo.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're 4bet bluffing here right? The idea of the 4bet bluff, is for villain to fold, NOT to call. Now when you min 4bet bluff pre; you're giving 4-1 odds. This means villain only needs 25% equity vs the absolute top 5% of your 4betting value range (88+,AJs+,KQs+,AK+) for a call. He has 27% equity with ANY two cards he has vs that range.

Now; for times you 4bet lighter; we can widen your range which means he's getting an even better price. Given how bad a hand K5s plays in a 4pot, if you stack off with top pair you're likely going to be crushed more times than not. If you don't stack off, then you shouldn't be 4betting which brings us back to the sizing and what we are trying to achieve with our 4bet bluff pre, folds - not calls.

Another key point is you say min 4betting makes it good for getting stacks in by river. As I say, you can't even be happy stacking a K high board yet, you have to because you priced him yet he's never going to be stacking of with worse Kx hands either. Also when you're checking back the best card in the deck for a double barrel given your 4bet perceived range, you're supposed to be repping a strong range, which are all Ax/Kx hands. If your 4bet bluff is supposed look as strong as; AA/KK/AJ+ you would never be checking back the turn. If you're not capable of firing then you shouldn't be 4betting hands like this as you're burning money. Either 4bet for value or if you want to 4bet bluff then raise bigger pre imo because all you will end up doing is creating spots where you're easily dominated with a hand that's really poor post flop.


We might just have different opinions on it, maybe someone with more experience could say what's best. You might be right, I might be wrong - would be good for someone else to comment on it.


Gl either way with the challenge :)

Had some run bad earlier today but back up to 100 BB's profit after a profitable last session:

Villain was an unknown but seemed decent.

I thought I played this hand exceptionally well :)
By the turn, I can really only get value from KJ, flush draws or a K/X + flush draw. Reason for check-raising river, all draws bricked and I put him on a FD, also JK is likely to bet the river when I check anyway, win win situation. Also unlikely he has JK or 55 as JK would likely raise PF and 55 usually raises turn.

I was so sure he was on a FD I didn't want to scare him away OTT by betting too much, if club fell I was check/folding to any bet. Also he reps hardly anything OTR.

I wasn't sure what to bet on the river vs this passive fish, the deuce on the river is the best card in the deck for me (apart from A) as it negates all 2 pairs.
I decided to just near-pot it as he was a fish and couldn't put him on a hand other than broken flush draw but I didn't know if a passive fish was going to bet a broken flush draw so I just hoped he had K/X.

Maybe I could have over bet shoved? However this might just be results orientated as I didn't know if he would call a shove.

2) 2.00 OTF, 5.00 OTT and shove river. It varies on the fishiness but generally I size 80%+ for value.

I like the donk lead with the set of deuces vs 2 players and love the check shove, given he likely bluffs when he misses and also value bets the Kx well played.

Was there a fish in the blinds with AA when u 4x pre? Yeah I think $2 on the flop too; also like the sizing on turn & river.

My standard sizing utg is 4x, mp is 3x, co is 2.5x, Btn is 2x. If there are fish in the blinds I change sizing up to 3x on Btn and co, maybe I should change other 2 as well.

I agree apart from the shove... Perhaps shoving on the river against fishies yes but generally bet 80% on the river as well because how often will the regs make it to the river with less than 2 pair?

I said he was a fish.

Up 3 and half buyins so far today, tons of fish on atm.

Wasn't too sure how to play this OOP. Villain was an unknown but looked like a good reg.

If I raise at any point I get stacked by higher 2 pairs/sets but he may not call with AQ type hands, that's how I saw it. I think I should have raised river small and folded to a shove?

Fold or 3bet pre. Flatting 78s in the bb, especially vs a good reg is never going to be profitable.

As played; I think it's fine the x/c line. No reason in raising at any point in the hand, you might be able to get value from like AQ by raising, but when we do this; he's going to be checking back the river a lot too which makes raising the turn pointless. I also I think in general; he's just folding all the hands we beat, like 1 pairs etc on this board and if he decides to go crazy with his AA/KK/Qx hands and shoves over, it's going to put us in a horrible spot where callings going to be tough. Also don't see any reason in raising the river, he's never going to call worse.

The counter-argument to that would be to check-raise bluffs on the river then. Would you do that?

Not when we have a hand good enough like two pair for show down which has a real good chance of being best.. There would be no real reason to turn our hand into a bluff given the brick river.

If the board had run out more wet (2heart for example) and we had a reg say we know who's value betting Qx/over pairs etc and we only had one pair like 7x which was likely never good at show down, we could consider check shoving but I think this would have to be villain dependant?

Up 1.4 buy ins so far today. I am basically crushing 25nl. Should be moving up to 50nl soon when BR is $1250. ATM my BR is $1000 Turn card cost me a full stack because this fish is so passive:

Didn't think this regular was going to bet the turn again without a hand. OTR I didn't want to be bluffed off the best hand if I checked it, also a small bet is best here imo as his 3 betting range is polarized between weak club hands and very strong club hands.
Also he can't call without a club so river bet is obviously +ev. Not saying flop call is +ev but I have blockers to AA, QQ and most people only 3 bet JJ+ here so there is a limited range he can have that bets the turn.

Villain had 3 bet % of 70 from SB over 7 hands, can't just credit him for a king as I thought he was good enough to bet his A/X here. I was going to float flop, but I was surprised when he checked it that I thought he might have a hand so I checked behind. If villain bet river I was insta folding.

Notes on villain: Checked paired flop OOP on the turn SB V BB (HERO) with TPGK, (villain played this hand well, so he could be a bit trappy I thought)

Up 1.5 buyins from another session, BR now over 1k.
This river card cost me stacking this fish, I was still very close to shoving as there are very few 9's/FD's he should have here but as he was an unknown I decided against it:

Vs a LAGG, I was scared of QJ, AJ. On the river there isn't any value in betting as he has either FD or the above hands. If he bet the turn I was probably folding.
He is never floating either as there is a fish in the pot as well so he knows that I have a good hand.

Real good fold in that last hand. It hurts so much, but money saved is just as sweet as money earned, maybe even sweeter after you make laydown like this.

Also in H1 I probs don't even bet flop, it is relatively wet and you might not even fold out a PP. Don't see what our bet accomplishes here.

Don't know how this regular who I had 100 hands on called turn/river here. I can easily have 89 (He doesn't know that I wouldn't actually have it here due to PF) or sets as it's very unlikely he has an 8 due to his stats.

Don't know how this regular who I had 100 hands on called turn/river here. I can easily have 89 (He doesn't know that I wouldn't actually have it here due to PF) or sets as it's very unlikely he has an 8 due to his stats.

Yeah his play Is pretty bad. The flop check raise looks strong, you led the turn and shoved the river and he calls u with second pair? Kinda crazy he calls down ur river shove. If he was actually a good reg, he's reading a flopped set or the flopped straight. I know that's what I'm reading here

Ye I am pretty sure he is just a bad reg who wasn't thinking on that level of me having a set on the river, he though I either have the 8 or not and that's that without taking his range into consideration from my POV.

I like your line a lot here. I think he made a shocking call. Just make sure you note him as a bad reg who can't fold over pairs. He beats nothing, I mean even if you're x/r al straight draws, they got there and not to mention the two pairs/ sets etc you could be raising on the flop.

What a awful call this was. At least you can have a solid note on him now when you play connectors vs him, he's likely gonna always pay you off when you have two pairs and play the hand exactly the same way.

Should have folded, this regular isn't raising anything else but sets here and won't balance his range most likely, bad call OTR imo:

First hand if villain is competent reg I'm folding the river but everything else looks pretty standard. Second hand looks fine also IMO. I like the line u took

Question on 2nd hand, can we 5b bigger to like $9.50 and jam flop? (pot will be $19) is not like fish going to fold pre to $9.50 if he call $7.75.

Also, why are we betting so small flop?, are we trying to induce?, do we think fish gona fold bigger? or we don´t care and just seting amount to jam turn?. But board is so wet why give fish all the odds to suckout?, then we gii on a 789T board????

Not saying is bad Yoshi, trying to figure it out because i don´t play 6max and also is very rare i face 4/5bets wars, so trying to get what is the thinking behind the bet sizing pre and on flop.
