Yesterday was a nice sesh. Got "acquainted" with more regs. One of them probably hates my guts by now.

One thing I noticed is that I'm playing much more aggressive at 50NL compared to 25NL, like 14/12 instead of my usual 12/9. It's probably the more generalized nittiness that allows me to.

I got a whole bunch of hands to discuss, so here goes :


Hand 1

This hand just for the history with villain, he is 16/11 4.5% 3b
Apart from VPIP/PFR gap he looked like a fairly good reg to me, plays aggressive.
He stacks off here with QQ+ with a diamond along with flopped flushes.

I could see him doing a delayed resteal here, donking with most his range because the ace shouldn't hit mine hard. Also his flop bet size is WTF?

We turn two pair, making us ahead of most his TP hands.
when he checks, the turn, I'm weighing his range more towards bluffs/semibluffs. But I'm still totally lost on what to put him on here.

After the check raise, I'm back to putting him on a hand trying to extract {A9+, 44, TT, 99}, maybe some turned combo draw, like QdJd.

This hand just totally lost me. I still don't know if I should have raised or flatted and let him fire again.

Hand 3

And again same villain. I'm wondering here about best line for maximum extraction.

In retrospect, the turn c/shove was bad, it gave villain horrible odds. I think a minraise would have been nice given history. Or maybe call and fire a small value bet on the river, some thing like 12$.

Hand 4

Here villain is 15/12 3% 3b over 1.5k hands. Never seen him do anything retarded.

Flop bet is standard and I expect villain to call me with a lot of underpairs. On the turn, I go for a check to be able to extract another bet out TT-JJ on the river. I believe this bet/check/bet line looks like a bluff a lot.

His river shove is WTF? he's repping 77/88/QQ, maybe AQ too.
