[Da GOAT]

Sorry, and yeah I meant card, not hand. And yeah, I'm trying to adjust to less bluffing in spots beyond ones that seem really good.

Nothing to do with learning, but I figured I'd post a fun hand for the blog. Villain in this hand stacked off with bottom pair for around 70bbs his very first hand at the table. He's playing almost all hands and pretty much betting and calling if he has something. From memory I think he can fold his complete nothings, which is why I let him bet first on flop. The fact he does tells he has something so from there I don't expect him to fold (turns out I was wrong, but...wow). He's been at the table for a few rounds now, and I just haven't hit any flops in the hands I've played with him until now:

raise preflop - win by him folding then. win by getting the cbet in on flop if whiffed a high % of the time. also PPs vs his range arent gonna give huge returns.

again your sizing is too small on flop and turn and then v large on river. - need to have some sort of plan to get his money,

Usually I'd agree, but with this guy I want to see cheap flops and get his stack. I agree about flop and turn sizing, the auto-size buttons (1/2 pot, 3/4 pot, etc) are making me lazy. River is large because I honestly thought he either had a 7 and would call anything, or missed a FD and would fold anyway. In retrospect maybe river should actually have been higher.
