Last week Marshall took on minSim for posting the same hands over and over again and seemingly not learning much from the advice he got. I dont know about minSim, but what Marshall said could have been addressed at me as well and I realized how I must get serious with studying and analysing again. I can´t beat the games anymore by just grinding out 25k hands a month and hope not to run too bad.

So here I am, trying to wrap my head around new concepts and not just posting cooler.


CO seems kinda nitty over the past ten orbits his numbers read 18/11, he hasn´t done anything noteworthy or shown down much.
BTN is a loose and aggressive halfstacker, he 50BBs four tables and bets a lot as PFR
BB is a poor player who sat down with like 40BB or so and has been limping and calling a bunch. He hasn´t shown a lot of aggression preflop.

Preflop: CO opens moderately tight, since he refused to 4bet Id guess {JdJh,JdJs,JhJs,TT-22,AQs-A9s,KJs+,JTs,T9s,98s,87s,AQo+,KQo,JTo} including half the JJ combos is what he flats. I suspect the BB being very strong, given that he didn’t open much preflop at all until now, also I dont want to put much emphasize on his sizing as he prob doesn’t know any better.

Flop: Id lead out here some time, but Im fairly confident BB being so strong that he´s cbetting frequently, if not CO will surely bet almost anything we could get value from himself. Im not sure about what he´s raising here, as the 50 hands sample is pretty much useless. 77, 99, TT, 98, 87, JT for value, I dont know how often I can expect him to be (semi)bluffing AT or JJ. His call should narrow his range to {JcJd,JdJh,JdJs,JhJs,TT,ATs,JTs,T9s,JTo}

Turn: Sucky SPR, I have 23% vs the range I estimated before.
I think 3bet sizing on flop is as interesting as whether to shove or c/f turn.
