Yoshimiii Cash Game Progress Report

[Yoshimiii]

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.

If I knew he was gonna call a $9.5 5 bet I would do that obviously but I didn't and with a hand like KK I am dominating his whole calling range anyway and I can still GII later as a massive favourite.

On the flop, unless he has a combo draw or already has me beat he isn't getting the correct odds to call as I am shoving any turn card, and as he called me with a gutshot I think that's a pretty good result, I didn't think there was any need to bet bigger as the pot size on the turn would still be much bigger than stack sizes behind.

 

[RamdeeBen]

I think on hand two; with a $15 pot; we have a nice $15 behind; I think given how wet the board is I think shoving is best as it's only a pot sized bet. Really not a fan of the small sizing on the flop, really don't understand that if he has a piece of the board or some worse pocket pair he's likely going to call it off anyway and given this board texture hits his range a lot he's probably calling any draw and most turns are going to be poor for us.

 

[ScottishMatt]

I size to about 9 preflop, I feel it sets us up for a nice flop shove. He is never folding any piece so I just shove flop anyway.

hand 1; I value bet the river, not sure why you x/c the river, I think we clearly always have the best hand here to bet. If I ever did decide to check the river which I don't think I would; it would be for the reason of a x/r.

hand 2; Any reason why you check behind on river? I think I'm always shoving the river here.

hand 3; no cbet but turn cbet? I'd much prefer betting flop as opposed to this turn. As played; checking back river is fine. I doubt he ever folds anything.

Hand 1: what hand does he check this flop with that calls turn and can call x/raise OTR that's worse? Basically none imo, checking to get value from draws. Turn could have been bigger.

Hand 2: what hands can he call with that we beat, none imo.

Hand 3: I don't like bluffing fish in general and there is a decent chance Q high is good anyway, only hands we fold are K/X.

 

[Logan2]

Hand 2: what hands can he call with that we beat, none imo.

AT/A9/AJ/KT/K9//KJ, could include Qx hands too but we got blockers. He could call with AJc/KJc, miss the draw but sudenly get on river TPTK maybe even with others but need to give him the chance to make a mistake.

If I thought he would call with any of them I would have notes on him, AJc is possible but I thought he would raise this on the flop, probably wrong though. I didn't think his calling 3 bet range was so light.

 

[jsh169]

Hand one, fine logic. Hand two, your giving your opponents way to much credit. You can get called by way worse and not value betting here is a serious mistake. In hand 3 I don't get why we aren't betting the flop, I think a good double barrel would get rid of alot of his range, I doubt he's folding an ace, but any gutshot, 10s, and 4s should be automuck.

 

[Gonzaloas]

Hand 1: You should bet bigger turn and check raise all in river, as played the river don´t change nothing and most of regs would raise drawy heavy turn if the 8 complete a st8 (most st8s draws would also CB flop). You can be very confident you have the best hand and should check raise for value.

Hand 2: In that board you would fold to a raise/shove turn? I guess not, so you should be the one overbet shoving turn for value vs. pair + draw type hands. Almost every river card will bring you a tough call decision if villain shove...

Hand 3: with flush draw on board would you ever check an Ace!? I guess not, so after check back flop you´re representing exactly what you have on turn... you go for the worst line here, you should obvious bet the flop, most fishes on Ace high board would fit/fold.

I didn't want to double barrel a fish. Betting flop is fine I think. Don't think he can fold most of his range to a double barrel actually.

BR now at $780, can't seem to win any sessions at all now, mostly just variance + some bad plays which I need to iron out.

Vs a guy with 1.7% 3 bet (70 hands)
wasn't sure what to do... Didn't even know if he 3 bets/stacks off QQ. I was planning to set mine but when the flop comes with an Ace, it's hard to make sets so I thought maybe he can have QQ here enough to make it profitable?

Setmine with kings? why do you need to do that? Just 4bet , call his shove. Yes sometimes you will run into A A , but unless youre scared of variance its standard to call ALL-IN with K K in 6max.
1.7% 3bet is AA , KK , QQ & AKs.

Problem is if he doesn't have bluffs in his range (which he never does) and if he doesn't stack off QQ PF then it's -EV, I should have folded flop though.

 

[Yoshimiii]

Thought I played this hand nicely. Not much I can do, it's just a case of check-raise flop/turn or lead out on the turn.

Initial raiser is a LAG who doesn't like folding to 3 bets.
Other villain is an unknown.

Villain is 16/12/1.7 over 183 hands.

Hardly any flushes in his range unless he's completely floating the flop with high cards, even then it's unlikely. I didn't bet the river as it was also unlikely I had the flush, but thought a c/r would get more respect and he has to fold anything that isn't a flush, betting out isn't bad either though.

Not sure if is a 6max thing but when jam turn the only thing i see we beat are draws, anything else that calls we are beat.

 

[Jblocher1]

Not sure if is a 6max thing but when jam turn the only thing i see we beat are draws, anything else that calls we are beat.

I play six max... And I agree with you. We are only getting called by sets and draws. Mostly sets. The shove Is pretty pointless IMO

 

[Gonzaloas]

Not sure if is a 6max thing but when jam turn the only thing i see we beat are draws, anything else that calls we are beat.

I would raise the flop, it´s 3 way pot, you wanna get max. value from draws. Nothing much you can do, turn don´t change much, the villain never have AK the way the pot were played PF, so if you gonna call river all in on blank nothing wrong in being you going all in on the turn to charge draws.

 

[Logan2]

Agree on raising flop, Yoshi mention plan was check-Raise flop or turn, but considering how wet is flop and MW was way better to c/R flop.

Problem i see is that villain is unknown + play really passive preflop flating both times (first raise and the squeze) and mostly going to do this with PP´s to set mine or SC,
then he sudenly lead flop and turn with less than half pot bets each time, so or he is giving him the prize to continue his draw in which case raising flop was mandatory,
or he is trying to induce his monster in which case we will find if raise flop (or bet in first place)

By turn is too late and when we raise allin he only have $8 left on a $36 pot giving him more than 4/1, which is close for him to call there even if was chasing a draw.

But my point is that we beat only draws and we give him the odds to call, so on long run he is not making a mistake giving him self odds every streets with his bet size, or calling our turn jam. But we are because going to get calls too by sets (or a stupid A5/A3/53 that have us beat too or AK played bad))

So we squeze pre, take initiative on BB, then we give up the initiave after hit TPGK on a wet flop, giving a draw that is pretty much what we beat the chance to hit on turn because if villain don´t have the set and is on a draw easy could check back and get his free card. And that is a mistake on us. So reading Yoshi mention he played nicely make me wonder if this is a 6max thing or i missing something.

At the end i think this is a high variance play, from the times he really have a draw some times he will miss and some times he will hit, rest of times have us beat, so not a pretty scenario for us.

[Yoshimiii]

But my point is that we beat only draws and we give him the odds to call, so on long run he is not making a mistake giving him self odds every streets with his bet size, or calling our turn jam.

​

He is making a mistake if he has a flush draw if I never fold (which when I take this line I am not on this board). As in the long run this would be -ev for him as I would be the favorite.
