    Default 3 more hands.. Mutual Disbelief..

    1. In general how do you deal with the situations where you both know the other missed the flop, and it's a pissing contest to see who gets the pot? Give up a fair amount of the time? Here for example, I am 100% certain he's just raising out of disbelief, so should I 3bet the flop? It seems transparent too..

    2. Here is another hand.. I just think he doesn't have anything, but that he doesn't believe I have anyting either. Maybe he flopped the straight though. Thoughts?

    3. And finally.. my friend was playing here, I would have folded the flop probably. Villain was crazy 30/80, the kind of player who tilts everyone at the table with his crazy plays, he ended up leaving with a 500-600BB stack (after hitting hands all night). Just patiently wait til you hit a hand and keep folding until then, right?

    25nl and below goes in BC now.

    These hands are really terrible. I can't even begin to explain all of the things you are doing and thinking wrong.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    You don't need to be fancy to beat this level. Cure your FPS now please.

    Hand 1: Fold to flop raise. DO NOT go broke on that turn with TP? That is a SUPER wet board, let it go man!
    Hand 2: B/F that semi-wet flop, try to buy yourself a free river with your OESD...
    Hand 3: Assuming you meant an 80/30, I raise PF a LOT more, like $2.50-$3, then try to get it in on the flop without being tricky. Turn Check-Raise is bad with A-high against this player.
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

    Hand 1: I check the flop behind because I want to hit that nine... I can still bet the turn if it's checked to me. Fold flop as played. This is why I like to check behind in this spot so I don't get raised off my draw. Also, because my cbet is not very believable on this board.
    Hand 2: Fold to turn raise, his flop check doesn't mean anything because he could have been planning a check/raise.
    Hand 3: he can be playing Q2o here
    why would you try your luck when he obviously likes his hand?

    people at 50NL and under dont really bluff as much as u think they do, usually when u get raised they have a valid hand. start believing raises and shoves, this shit is horrible leakyness syndrome. stop hating money
    I post nonconstructive piss

    Just so you know,

    OESD's with overcards and gutshots with overs & backdoor flush draw
    are great hands to fire multi-barrels

    (very) good for me personally.. but these hands were played by a friend of mine - I was sitting next to him though (so I have no real excuse for the suckiness besides being influenced by our talk) . I'm rather drunk right now but I always thought he was a winning player but turns out his brother was supporting him with his own poker winnings, so I'll need to do some major schooling if I ever want to see my money again (that I fronted him).

    What I personally woulda done if it was just me playing:
    1) fold flop to the raise
    2) check behind turn or fold to raise if I bet
    3) fold flop to raise, or atleast turn (begrundgingly)

    This might be too passive tho.

    If u think they are bruffing, but u are also bruffing, the worst thing you can do is call.

    I'd c-bet hand 2, probs b/f turn if he calls flop. Other 2, just fold the flop. I wouldn't even cbet hand 1 tbh.
    There's only one system. Bet. Lose. Borrow. Steal. Lose. Take the drugs. Lose. Prison. Death.

    To everyone that uses the FTR converter: if you have some time, please PM me with hands that the converter messes up. I can forward these to the testing team (or just test them myself), a bug report will be made, and then the converter will be improved for the future. Thanks a lot in advance!
