A few more hands. 50nl.

[AnTman_69]

Hand 1 He has laggy stats at 29/22/4.5. No real reads on villain, just know that he 3 bets light, and he seems to be pretty decent. Seen him showdown 34s (according to my note on him, cant remmeber the hand though) in a 3 bet pot.
You dig the turn bet, or do we take a free card here.

1) 4bet pre and call a push obv. As played, I c/behind the turn for free card as we have some equity, but we dont wanna get c/r off the hand
2) Fold turn, unless you think he's bluffy enough to fire multiple barrels w/air, I'd rather raise flop if you wanna raise
3) Good fold imo

Find a new table/seat

[AnTman_69]

I don't table select. I know it may sound silly, but i really want to get used to all types of opponents, and learn how to adjust no matter his style/skill. I think it's important to first improve your game all round..before moving up to the uber stakes, then getting absolutely owned there.

Are these hands totally standard or something. ? Not much activity..

[lolzzz_321]

hand 1 is alright

hand 2 i fold pre. Maybe get a 3b stat up on your HUD? I prbly fold, but if you think he is barreling then call down...

hand 3, yep

Have fun with that.

I try to make the most money possible in the shortest amount of time.

Generally that means not sitting with competent aggressive players on my left.

Table selecting instantly boosted my winrate at 50nl...

[bjsaust]

I get your thinking about table selection and various opps, but at the end of the day I'd prefer to make lots of money before worrying about difficult table conditions.

Think of it this way:

Have a 10ptbb/100 winrate and get to $10k before playing hard opps.

Have a 5ptbb/100 winrate and take twice as long to get to $10k while playing hard opps.

Looked at that way, it seems fairly obvious.

Hrm. Nicely put ben. I suppose i won't be with super tough regs at the midstakes for quite a while. Suppose i should watch a table selection Vid then.

Just keep them fish on your right and isolate the crap out of them.

Also - do you play as Antman_7 on fulltilt?
