Instigated a bluff-raise... twice... on purpose from BTN. Love it. I was going to SD UI.

UTG = fish
BTN = TAGish, tilting from LP sucking out twice.

How many hours/day do you guys put in (on average)?

I play and study the game for a total of about 20 hours/wk right now.

How many hours/day do you guys put in (on average)?

varying extreme. Weekends I doesn't do much.

Weekdays, it depends on the study load for the last 1½ week I played 3 hours a day and prob +2 hours study-review-DC-chat

Great hands BG - but the Q over J is just a little lucky it wasnt' the other way around

A passive and a Maniac - does it get any better

Making BIG hands vs bad opponents are the nuts. And running a little good doesn't make it worse

Today there were two vewy serwious German efficiency ultra tight TAGs at my .05/.10 table sitting right beside each other and trying to outlevel each other BvB

VEWY SEWIOUS

hehehe I can never resist ^.^

On a side note I have found that a couple ultra tights mixed in with a couple loose fish is a nice combo. Fold equity on the left, value on the right ^.^

I had put you on Ignore... but im not a German Tag

To the latter... Seriously, you first found that now

SEWIOUS

I got Andreesen in my database, he is a 16/12/3 over 500 hands full ring.

Misclicks can lead to great things...

CO was pretty bad TAG 22/13/1 for 200 hands, he limp/rr his big pp - only cbetting made hand on the flop and turn but calls till river with any Ax. SO my DONK was well thought - for the first time ever I think.

BTN is SUPER LP_FISH 77/5/0,5 calling down everything only bet/raising 2p+

SB was a bad wannabe LAG 42/19/1,5 - lots of aggression with weak made hands-6+ draws, and bluff a great deal aswell, and not cbetting weak UI hands. So far fwiw.

here it goes

River sucks just a tiny bit - they don't have many 6x in their range and if btn raised well he/she had a 6x or 68 99.9% - CO never has a 6x.

when CO raise the flop he has 9x + always so he ain't folding - my problem is just whether he is betting the turn UI with a 9x-KK here when it's 4w. The BTN looks to come a long the whole way as well.

This hand is pretty interesting IMO.

I'll leave the result out and tell you that the UTG ol was 32/5/1,1 - has made weird semibluff/vbet with med pp's on scary board IP like - utg ol w 77 call call bet when checked to on 3dKdQsQdJh. He seems to checkraise TP+ on the flop.

I know Cryptologic has no cap HU and I think Microgaming was the same for a while but not sure now.

I think Isac's playing on Everest

on another note:

Yay my mouse arrived today so it's back to it and the first session was an absolute bloodbath. I think I was up about 40BB at one point and then took and absolute kicking to the face (a lot of my own doing) and scurried off with about 15BB in the end. I recorded it too so it could make for some fun.

Damn I'm rusty though...ugh.

Let me hear

Let me hear

In my experience this is a slowplayed Jack or KQ like a TON of the time, becasue people love to slowplay their trips.

Some small amount of the time it's a really desperately bad bluff or someone misreading the board and thinking AT is good but tbh I'd be unhappy here but call for the most part.

Unless you're going to fold to a 4-bet I think 3-betting is probably not good becasue you've got to be good 2/3rds of the time to shove a 3-bet in.

It must have been - cus that's def true.

Not really sure why I posted the hand was played perfectly IMO.

limp/call/call/call/call/call/call/call with 99 is the nuts.

I just call.

Boomer, want a vid review? I haven't really attempted a full critique or produced my own, but since you're putting it out there...

Posted?

Cake .50/1

Hero is on the Button w AT
UTG = LAG, not great
CO = Fish

UTG raises, CO 3-bet, Hero caps (probably bottom of my range, but these guys are hemorrhaging at this point)

Flop 9J2 (yes, I run good on cake)
check, check, Hero bets, call, call

Turn J
check, check, Hero bets, UTG calls, Fish folds

River J
check, Hero...

I thought for a second before acting. What would you do?

Same table, Fish is in SB, Hero in BB with 8T

Fish is very straight forward, 3-balling the flop with overpair+, raising turned top pair, etc. Does not donk. Does not slowplay. Will play draws more passively.

Fish open raises in SB, Hero calls
I'm expecting this to be top 15-20% of hands. He would open-limp otherwise.

Flop 894
Fish bets, Hero raises, Fish calls
I would have expected a 3-ball from an overpair.

Turn Q
Fish checks, Hero...

Thoughts on the positives and negatives of a bet/check here?

It must have been - cus that's def true.

Not really sure why I posted the hand was played perfectly IMO.

Would play it the same 100%

RIVER ($16) J2AJT

check, Hero bets $2, UTG raises to $4, HERO well well well. DO we raise for value, call, fold ?

I would just call and see what he is up to.

I thought for a second before acting. What would you do?

I would bet without thinking, a split second after that I would realize what just dropped on the river, at the same time I am getting c/r by Villain and then I call to see the bad news.

I do think you should check here because I can't come up with a hand that will call that we beat (except for a smaller flush maybe lol)
