Yes and no. flop and turn bet sizing matters because it changes the size of the pot for later streets. You have to think about that when you bet those.
when it comes to table selection, what exactly am I looking for?
Windows vista has me on life tilt atm!!! I hate it soo much.
Bought a new laptop yesterday which has came pre-loaded with vista obv, i've tried setting up pokertracker and sql but its just not working grrrrr, decided to buy an OEM Xp from amazon but before i ordered it i thought i'd check to see if there were xp drivers for all my devices, my wlan adapter doesn't have any xp drivers!!!! this is sending me crazy b/c i haven't played poker for like 2 weeks now and i'm going nuts, vista can go suck my plums because its terrible!! i want xp back but i don't think i'm going to be able to unless i sacrifice my wireless connection
haha Score: Primitive CPU 1 ----- Orangepeelo 0!
PS. I probably would of had the same issues, Im a bit computer challenged
never ran the stack builder prog after i installed postgres so it wasn't working properly, serves me right for trying to fly through the installation and get some poker in lol.
Alright guys, let's get a discussion going since this thread has been mostly whining or bragging or otherwise just copying the May chat thread .
Topic is handling 3-bets pre-flop. For those of you who have HEM, go into your reports and if you don't already have them, add these two stats: vs 3Bet call and vs 3Bet fold.
Over 223k hands, my vs 3Bet call is 42.7% My vs 3Bet fold is 47.4%.
As you can see, I call 3-bets pre-flop a lot, but there's a simple reason for that. At the lowest stakes, people just do not know how to 3-bet at all. You'll see 3-bet sizes as low as min-raising, to 1.5x, to 2x, etc. Obviously it also depends on stack sizes, your opponent's playing tendencies, blah blah blah. At probably 25nl and above, you start to see some appropriately sized 3-bets (roughly 3x or more). Question is, what's your calling range generally? With what range are you choosing to flat with? What range are you choosing to 4-bet with the intention of calling a shove? What range are we choosing to muck? I think this may be a leak that a lot of people may have. Playing 3-bet pots can tend to get tricky, and first we must start from the very beginning, pre-flop action, before we can delve into the fun flop stuff. 6-max and FR players, post your two 3-bet pf stats and let's get a discussion going.
Anyone got a good article on hand ranges? I'm lacking in that department because at 10nl and below it was just nutpeddle. Now im at 25nl and starting to see some halfway competent regs (compared to my spewtard skills). Like i looked at c9's post and just went "uuuuuuhhhhhhh".
Here This should help you.
The best article on ranges is probably OMGClayAiken's, but it's very advanced reading, tbh. And not really applicable at low stakes. But worth a read anyway.
