    that's a wicked stipulation since I'm probably averaging 10 a day? idk I haven't checked

    bbickes: I post in the commune like once a month so it doesn't matter

    i suppose it didnt feel standard because it's a total hero call right?
    i 3bet this pre since i'm IP. as played if he gives up Txx flops to a bet you might as well bet with air AND made hands like you have.

    no level, this was exactly it. When I disabled adblock if appeared just fine. But, I really hate most internet adds and will just keep in mind that when I only see one card, the other is the Ad.

    bspahn: well I guess what I'm trying to say it's a totally standard hero call because he usually has ace high or exactly AQ when he plays this way?
    I checked behind because I would categorize this as a "B" range hand
    I'd bet a T and a deuce

    the reason I'd bet a deuce is because I wouldn't feel as comfortable making a hero call with a deuce here because if the board came low, he would vbet a 9
    but I guess if I played A2s this way on the flop, I'd still consider calling down because the turn was a queen and he probably wouldn't vbet a 9 and just show it down

    You can also add an exception rule for the Ad and you'll be able to see it without disabling adblock.

    Its a relatively wet flop. I usually raise good hands here because a lot of cards either scare me or him, plus if he has something people love to put you on draws. You'd recommend just flatting though?

    idk, he's really only repping a queen and I thought his range for playing this way would be AJ-AK so AJ/AK = 32 combos, AQ = 12 combos

    I think he doesn't check a T or JJ+ to me because the board is wet
    and I think a flush draw is a standard cbet
    on the turn the only hand that would vbet would be AQ because he wouldn't check KQ to me since he's going to cbet that part of his range on the flop
    but a lot of one heart hands will semi-bluff especially if he has the king or ace of hearts (but he ended up only having the jack of hearts)
    when the river comes he really can only have a queen for betting here and since any kind of QJ/KQ/QT hand bets the flop, I can only put him on AQ
    I guess Q9 too, but I'm not sure he opens Q9o since I'm pretty aggressively 3bing bvb

    a little town called none of your goddamn business
    AJ/AK(%bluff) != 32 combos
  20. #170
    Guest
    I just need to be good slightly less than 1/3 of the time, so he has to bluff his AJ/AK combos less than 20% of the time

    if he bets the turn with one heart like this every time, that's 6 combos of AJ and 6 combos of AK
    he'd have to bluff less than half of the time for me to lose money calling here

    so obviously against regs that don't bluff the river a lot this is going to be EV-

    I actually had a note on him that he checked AT back on the flop, called turn and called river beating my king high on like a 9 high board for a total hero call
    Maybe I just wanted to get him back? LOL

    someone should post a winning hand where they actually did something brilliant instead of playing like a complete monkey and getting really lucky? i just read through a lot and the only hand that didnt make me cringe was alexos owning the 10/20 fishy with 44.

    i think more owns happen at lower stakes than at higher. thats because at higher stakes we usually have to respect our opponents ability to play in a reasonable manner even if they spew a lot in certain spots. the way to own people though is basically to hand read a lot better than than them. it isnt reallly an own when you take a silly incongruent line with garbage relative to what your opponent is representing, and then decide you are potstuck into calling off your stack because they might be semibluffing sometimes.

    Its exactly what i was trying to show. My spazzy unbalanced lines and spewy monkey plays that get lucky sometimes. I wasn't saying..."check this out, im a leet hand reader that owned this guy hard." Brilliance isn't my thing nuts.

    this guy is like a TERRIBAD reg, not sure what my notes on him are (I already closed FTP), but he like spewed in some spots
    I c/red the flop like three times when he did his gay minraise, cbet flop the first two times being as a bluff and the last time I could just tell by his timing (he thought for a while before folding) that he's going to play back at me

    so when I hit a pair on the flop I'm like he's just going to fucking spew and shit if I check raise him AGAIN
    given that I think turn might actually be a c/c
    but holy shit I'm not folding to a raise because I have bd flush draw + and he could be spewing again

    question on general professional ethics:
    I was chillin at a table with a hudge maniacfish and I took about 2 stacks from him so far because I had the jesus seat
    then I left all my other tables because my session was over, but I was just keeping that table open
    is it ok to sit out after he does? well like it was his BB and when he didn't post I didn't post either
    and it's not like the entire table sat out, the guy after me posted

    discuss

    hand 1: you mean standard flop check? or standard call pre? I see no fucking reason to 4b $37 instead of 4b shoving or flatting
    hand 2: I would 3b turn
  35. #185
    Hand 1: should have included info about villain but I knew was going to call my 4b with whatever low suited connector he had and (probably) fold to a shove.

    Hand 2: yeah maybe I just had a lot of trouble with what he wouldn't cb and would now raise the turn, the only thing I could come up with was 55 so I planned to c/r the river. Had 89o ldo and owned me with his increidbly deceptive flop check
  36. #186
    Guest
    you didn't have to tell me he had 98, I already knew when you posted the hh
    if he had 55 you'd be laughing all the way to the bank

    I think u induced a spaz bluff from UTG. Prolly has a hand like AK with the As. I call pretty quick.

    You really think he floats an OOP 3bet of his UTG open with A high?

    I honestly have no clue what he plays like this. No hand he has here should be played like this.

    I don't understand why he wouldn't play AsQh this way, AQo is a standard call pre against an aggressive reg (it depends if he 3bs light vs. utg I guess), he floats with 6 outs and a backdoor

    So I almost have 1500 posts. I was thinking for my 1500 I'd write a short strat article. Any requests are welcome. Or I could always just post some hotties in this thread. Let me know.

    write about when to turn your hand into a bluff
    obviously when you think your fold equity is better than your showdown equity but it's hard to determine when that is the case

    Something about elastic and inelastic ranges would be nice.

    Not sure if you've heard of the names/definitions before, I have them from improva's book (the poker puzzle). It more or less means elastic ranges are ranges that are related by the size of the bet and inelastic range are not. (i.e. the ranges we get called by)

    It's not black and white in that any range is either elastic or inelastic, but it's usualy more or less elastic. In theory ranges should be very elastic, but in practice they aren't.
    It also changes when stakes go up, but generally certain board textures come with a certain degree of (in)elastic ranges.

    The elasticity of a range has great impact on our valuebetting and bluffing ranges and betsizing.

    Imo it's and interesting subject, something not often talked/written about in a direct way.

    when we talk about "bet pot he'll call anyway" we're talking about inelasticity of his calling range (a lot of villains will call any bet up to pot in certain situations)
    when we talk about the "head explosion" river bets we're talking about how we can size our value bets smaller when we expect that villain almost never has better so we're betting 1/4 pot to get called by third pair or ace high

    so we talk about it implicitly, but not explicitly

    I definately agree with all of this.
    I would verymuch like a strategy article about talking explicitly about it though. There's a lot to be said that touches the subject, and it's another way to approach poker strategy.

    I.e. What board textures generally make elastic or inelastic ranges?
    What flop-turn-river lines with different part of our range should we be taking against very elastic or very inelastic ranges?
    What's the influence of scare cards?
    Betsizing?

    aejones wrote a pretty good article on exactly that subject in the leggo forum. So I decided against trying to do it better or copy paste what he wrote. One thing to keep in mind when you're deciding your betsize is how strong villains range is and you can adjust accordingly.

    I wrote something on c/r the river instead.

    That's what happens when you never learn to manage your bankroll. Luckily I've employed Tommy Angelo as my coach and he's teaching me the Way.

    Don't worry though, I made 13 buy ins today, so only 22 more and I'll be gone.

    Dude I have faith that you'll eventually get it going regularly. You seem to have a lot of the knowledge, just need the mental control. Tommy Angelo is good, I also like a lot of buddhism (Meditation and Dream Yoga) for mental control.
