you have a lot of work to do postflop on ur game i think. Id tighten up until you get a better handle on the basics.

i probably do have a lot of work on my postflop, but i'm already running 21/16. are you suggesting i tighten up more preflop or postflop?

on average, i don't get raised as much on stars. so i usually don't end up in these kinds of situations as much.

hand 1 was just spew in every sense of the word. i don't know what got over me. i'm not good enough to pull off Negraneau's Theorem.

actually, what i find interesting is hand 2. vs exactly JJ,TT,77, we still have 36% equity. it is $67.5 more for me to call, and the pot is $132. i'm getting 2:1 odds. auto-call is it not?

Yeah but adjusting into being a call station isn't going to make you a winning player. You've already identified hand #1 as spew.

For Hand #2, you can't put him on only that range (JJ,TT,77) and say it's a profitable call. He does this with a whole lot of other hands that have you smoked. Essentially what it comes down to, is you're chasing a Q high flush on a monotone flop for a bad price. That is very not good.

Hand #3 is fine. He definately has it in his head you call light so I seriously doubt he's making a move.

what are these hands?

we're getting odds vs a made straight with 87.
we're getting odds vs a made set.
we're getting odds vs an overpair.

we're really only behind if someone has an overpair AND they have Kh/Ah. or if they have Kh/Ah and they pair the board.

btw, i'm not only chasing the flush. K gives me the straight. A/Q are also possible outs.

I guess you'd have to run a pokerstove range to decide if it's the right call then if you think it really is a good call. From my experience though, I just don't think it is.

the problem with stove is that it's really difficult to use if there's already a flop and your equity is highly dependent on the opponent's suits.

i might as well post some of the stove simulations i did:

vs sets
Hand 0: 36.162% 36.16% 00.00% 3222 0.00 { AsQh }
Hand 1: 63.838% 63.84% 00.00% 5688 0.00 { JJ-TT, 77 }

vs straight
Hand 0: 41.313% 41.31% 00.00% 6544 0.00 { AsQh }
Hand 1: 58.687% 58.69% 00.00% 9296 0.00 { 98s, 98o }

vs overpairs
Hand 0: 33.569% 33.27% 00.30% 3952 36.00 { AsQh }
Hand 1: 66.431% 66.13% 00.30% 7856 36.00 { QQ+ }

vs pwnage
Hand 0: 09.343% 07.68% 01.67% 76 16.50 { AsQh }
Hand 1: 90.657% 88.99% 01.67% 881 16.50 { AhKs }

vs less pwnage
Hand 0: 12.525% 10.71% 01.82% 106 18.00 { AsQh }
Hand 1: 87.475% 85.66% 01.82% 848 18.00 { AdKh }

vs pair + higher flush draw
Hand 0: 20.354% 19.90% 00.45% 197 4.50 { AsQh }
Hand 1: 79.646% 79.19% 00.45% 784 4.50 { AhJc }

vs flush
Hand 0: 28.990% 28.99% 00.00% 287 0.00 { AsQh }
Hand 1: 71.010% 71.01% 00.00% 703 0.00 { 3h2h }

vs drawing dead
no simulation needed...

Bet flop in hand 1, I'd fold turn and river is obv gross.

Hand 2 is fine I think.

Hand 3 is interesting, Turn fold looks good but I sometimes would peel again.

hand 1: yah, these kind of overbets are rarely bluffs. I'd imagine you were shown 77.

hand 2: I'm not sure about this call. Its close for sure. I'd feel a lot better about it if we had the Ah here, instead of just the Kh. Cause I can see a hand like KhJ or AhJ pushing here as well, and you're in deep against those hands.

hand 3: I soometimes peel off the turn. depends on the villain, and how he plays draws. A bare 7 could be check raising that flop. Your spade could be good if another spade comes. But a fold is fine here as well.

Until your postflop game is straightened out, dump JQoff.

No way does he not have a pair of queens with a bad kicker beat. Fold turn.

Hand 2 is an easy flop fold IMO. Stacking off with the third nut draw is not goot.

Hand 3 is okay. I have to wonder what he's raising me with on the flop but turn fold is good.

I think you'd be better running in or around 17/13. It'll help with the tougher decisions and still let you play the tougher hands from good positions but I'd look to drop a lot of hands UTG or in MP, play the blinds as you feel comfortable but I'd run 11/11 or less from those two spots. open up when your more comfortable.
