Why so Nitty sometimes?!?!? and spazz others?!
My jaw drops roughly every 7 min playing these clowns. Anyway, things
are always easier in hindsight but feel good about my reading ability at
the moment, at least at the stakes I am playing. Sometimes I end up
making nitty laydowns based on a read that I have which is fine and
swell, if the read is generated through a decent hand sample size. That
is often not the case and wish I didn't try to make hero reads and just
did what everyone else would do in spots like these: Layed down AA on
kt3r to flop cbet, then very big 3 bet. In chat he said, "I had you
smoked, I had AK." Didn't 3 bet pre because he was UTG and wanted to
keep him in and mix up my play. Sucks to be results oriented but at this
level, this is an insta 4 bet shove without VERY VERY good reads which I
didn't have on this villain. He later stacked off twice OTF with one
pair.
One other scenario, didn't call a big button iso with 44 in bb to
who I thought was solid reg (maybe he was) but on a A94r, He and fish
got 120 bb in each, AJ to AK.... Think it is mandatory to setmine in
these spots when there are uberfish going 5 way to every flop. At higher
stakes or on stars, this is not the case, but these spots are just to
valuable to pass up on with these clowns playing every hand and stacking
off with anything and everything!!!! Sorry this is more of a ramble
than strategy post but feel free to comment on the two hands. Thanks!
