No question directly, but how did you get to change the colour of your own avatar outline?

I don`t really like the min 4b with the aces, you`re giving him a great price to peel, and the smalish bet on the flop assuming your aces are invulnerable.
Also agreed with @goldseraph, you`re better off playing 2 tables with live comment, or post play review of 4+ tables.I know it gets hectic without the bigger time bank at these stakes.Looking forward to the rest of the series, you play an unusual, very interesting type of game, that i haven`t seen a lot, so should be defo interensting.



You don't like the min 4b cos I give him a great price to peel. I should raise bigger to so he has a worse price to peel and gives me more fold equity with the nuts? In addition, it's not a 'min 4bet' its just on the smallish side. The small 4b actually worked perfectly as he called with AK which is going have far worse EV than shoving it (esp vs me). I think bigger and he may have even folded it.

'Smallish bet on the flop assuming your aces are invulnerable'. How are my aces not invulnerable here? Unless he has almost exactly AKs (which I think is rare as it usually gets shoved pre, or some miniscule chance of KQs) then he is drawing to 2 outs and I need to make sure he never folds here.

Sorry, I tought I marked the timeline, something might have gone wrong.

Anyway, here is the K9s I was talking about. Guess you are calling with the same reasons as for the J7s hand.



I'm just getting too good a price to fold. I'm also banking once more on my ability to outplay 100nl players postflop. If you don't have the same confidence or keep calling in this spots feeling like it's -EV then don't do it.

Not sure how to change the colour of your own avatar ring. I think it happens when you try to change someone's colour when ur about to be sent to a new table. I have seen alot of students who have changed theirs specifically.

If you're reasonably computer-literate you can just edit the xml file where the notes are directly. The colours are right at the top and just zap yourself to whatever colour you want. The other time it happens is if you use an auto-colouring thing that colour-codes people based on rules you give it.

You'll find that I don't make any bets to 'set up stacks' as that is a flawed logic. If I think he'll only call x amount on the flop then I'll bet that. If I feel his range will call x amount on the turn (even if it's a 2 x pot overshove or something) then that is what I'll bet.

Always bet the maximum you think their range will call when value betting and the minimum you need to get their perceived range to fold when bluffing. Betting to set up stacks is just losing EV.



I have to say it was very interesting seeing your bet sizing, and I've been using really subtle changes of sizing in the last few sessions I've played as a result and found it most effective. In hindsight, this was something I always knew to be true (ie you should bet the amount that is the most +EV) because we use EV to measure how good a strategy is, so you should always do everything to maximise EV (obviously), but in game I was not always giving this enough attention.

People's ranges seem to be a lot more elastic than I have been give them credit for. At the extremes they will call any size or will fold any size, but the art of value betting seems to be in maximising the EV vs the middle part of the villain's range, which is really sensitive to sizing.

My bad, i was watching on my gf`s 15` lap top, didn`t see the sizing corectly.I understand the logic behind it.Assuming you mix your 4b sizing, it makes perfect sense.

77 on table 3. 77 obv doesn't have a ton of cards to improve but folding the flop still seems pretty strange to me vs a CO open. Do you expect ppl to not cbet monoboards w/o a fd? Are you continuing w/ QJo w/ one heart if you flat that pre?

QJs on table 1. Villain cbets halfpot here which is way less than most regs and afaik coaches would advice. Can you share your reasoning (I assume it's learned from you or at least to your liking)?

what kind of program are you using for the hotkeys?
I'm always afraid of folding on another table if it pops up before I hit the fold button

btw you can edit your own color ring over options - player notes in the lobby

Just letting you know how to change the colour around your name.

If you click on the notes button on the bottom left, then click the setting, you can view everynote that you have taken on all the players, you just need to look up your own name and you can change the colour
