Kalupso posted 2 times in this thread but I cant see it.. I'm trying 1 month preflopguru atm, the software is ok so far. Only thing I dont like is it doesnt allow 3 ways situation on flop like squeeze. Will probably try Pokersnowie intermediate next month to see the difference. 19$/month seems reasonable for me to improve my game.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get slowly better at poker, and I am looking for a software to help me work on my bad habits and help me understand all the 'range' concept that I dont apply correctly in many situations. I found the pokersnowie free sotfware, which helps me a lot so far in my opening range, 3betting range. I'm thinking about buying the intermediate subscription from snowie but I wonder if there are other similar software and which one do you used or recommended?

Thx for your help!

Yep, the price was good, but vilain in this case turned a boat (TTT66). This is a spot where I still find hard to fold my Overpairs.

Thanks.

I agree with you, turn is a check/calling. My equity is around 25-30% vs his range. I thought I was in a worst spot :p

2 more questions on the river:

  1. What do I do if I raise and he 3bet like you said:
    River Pot = 105bb, Vilain Bet 15bb
    River Pot = 120bb, Hero Raise = 45bb (maybe a bit more in that spot).
    River Pot = 165bb
    Vilain stack is 99bb before the call and he can raise only 69bb more, will give me 69bb/264bb so close to 1/4... if I dit it correctly :p if I call here to be profitable overtime in the same exact spot I have to be right 20% of the time.
    Since only KQhh beats me, I would call hoping he goes crazy with his set, 2pair+ and KT.

  2. Does betting the river is an option. I like the check since he raised turn. The 5 is not a great card for him, but its not a great one for me either for a good part of my range. So, I can be wrong but I think I'm missing value if I bet here. Except, maybe, if I have some reads on him saying otherwise

Will definitely be more carefull about my CBet. Never really think about it that way. but its a good way to exploit villains.

Will take a good look at my 3bet range too on that kind of situation. A lot to study and learn.

Thx!

You are right since he checked back the turn he is unlikely to have Qdx or Jdx. Should have bet smaller to try to make him called his set and some Kx hands or even check the river to let him bluff.

SB wins 80.44 BB

So always a tough spot with a set on a flush board, do you call or fold?

So, PF Vilain can call with many hands.
On flop, when he x/c I think he can hold: Kx,Jx,8x, - 88,JJ,TT,99 - T9,TQ, - Ac* - cc.

When the turn come, and he x/r, does he always beats me? Does he always hold: cc, 88, JJ, KJ, K8, KA?
Can he semi-bluff with some AcQ, AcJ, and some worst K*c?

On the turn, the pot odds are the 22%. If he always beat me on the turn with a flush or full house, I have 20% equity, but if he can semi-bluff here, I have 32%....

So, after debating with myself, I think I should have fold in this spot. But, do you think its always a fold or can we call in some exceptional situation....

Thx for you help!

Hi,

I can't stop telling myself I played this hand badly. PF action is ok I think. On the Flop, I think it's ok, giving the 2 players behind, I would call/fold...

The problem is on the turn and river, do you think is better to shove here when he checked? I find my bet so weak here......
And on the river, do you barrel even if we missed... can we get all his 7x hands to fold, his Ax hands and all the flush draw and the straight draw to fold here?

Thx for your help!

Hi everyone,

What do you think about this hand?

I think PF, Standard 3x Open. On flop, I was thinking about Cbetting, but changed my mind. I think this board hits a lot the range of the BTN and giving the stack size, if I Cbet 1/2 pot, he will only have about a Pot size Bet if he wants to shove and I dont think my hand is strong enough to call his shove here. So, I decided to x/c.

On the turn, J probably one of the worst card in the deck for me, and decide to x/c or x/f depending the bet sizing and if the SB stayed in the hand. Here, does a bet can be a good move to make? It can make fold some Tx, maybe some Qx or some Ax flush draw... but AK,98,Jx never fold here..... right?

On the river, was not hopping to get called, but couldn't check here, dont think the BTN would have tried to bluff here.

So, did I play it right, or would you have played it differently and why?

Thx for your help!

Jan. 13, 2016 | 5:55 a.m.

With only the information you posted, snap call like the others. But, on the exact FT bubble, with 2 smaller stack, lets say 4 and 7BB, do we still snap call?

I do think so, but am I right?

Dec. 10, 2015 | 10:55 p.m.

Comment | Asvin commented on FT bvb 3b spot

I think you played it great. Raise/call PF is fine and x/f flop is ok. With 2 really smalls stacks, doesnt worth to fight in a big pot the other big stack. You will have better spot.

Hope it helped.

Dec. 8, 2015 | 5:29 p.m.

I think its a fold here. He is opening from UTG, even with 5.5BB , I dont think he is opening any two here. He is probably opening any pairs, any Ax, KJs+,KQo+, maybe more, but max 30-35%. In this case, your hand is not in an insane good spot to call, giving your stack, your position and the payout.

The SB and BB can defend their BB here too. The SB only have less than 4BB, so, risking almost all your stack here with an "ok" hand and risking to become the small stack is probably not the best thing to do.

So, folding here is, I think, the best option.

Hope it helped!

Dec. 5, 2015 | 5:45 p.m.

Yep, I think the same way. Probably better to keep control of the pot with our 99 here and try to get to showdown cheaply.

Comment | Asvin commented on QQ on A high board

I think you should always Cbet this flop, except maybe in some cases when you have some reads on your opponent and want to be more creative like check/shove. But here, you opened from UTG, so your range has a lot of Ax hand (mostly AK,AQ and some AJ,AT). By Cbetting, you can easily win that pot w/o more actions by seeing a fold and maybe some weaker aces can find a fold too(A5s for example).

By not Cbetting, you almost saying "I'm giving up, I didnt hit, free chips" and it's really hard for you to call on the flop, because you probably doesn't have the best hand anymore, you are OP and you gave up the agression factor by checking. And if you call... what do you expect to do on turn and river if your opponent barrel?

So, on an Axx flop, UTG in 3way Pot, even if you totally missed the flop. I think you are representing such a strong hand that you have to cbet and try to win the Pot on the flop. If you get called, then you could c/f turn or try a 2nd barrel.

In this exact hand, if, for some reasons, you decide to check the flop, I would c/f in this exact spot. I dont think the BN will ever fold an Ace giving your stack size and the Pot odds on the turn.

Hope it helps!

Comment | Asvin commented on 99 with 24 BB

I think flatting would be standard too. Maybe a 3bet sometimes can be a good idea, but without antes, probably better to keep our chips and wait for a better spot.

Hope it helped you

Comment | Asvin commented on AJo MP out of position

Totally agree with raphykid67 here. I think the play PF is fine. You are trying to isolate, play IP with an Ok hand. On the flop, with this board, I think you should check/fold, especially early game and OP. + when you hit like you did on the turn, you get yourself in a terrible tough spot.

Try to see a free turn, and you said, the CO was not " a great player, got in a min raising battle ...", so there are some chances that he will check back a fair amount of time when he missed. Maybe going to minraise, so the decision will be yours to fold/call in that spot.

Hope it helps you,

Nov. 19, 2015 | 3:08 a.m.

Hi,

Here the hand

You, in that spot vs a really thigh/passive vilain, would you called/raise/shove or fold like I did. I found it so much suspicious that I couldn't convince myself to do something else then folding. Do you think i'm right?

Nov. 14, 2015 | 4:55 a.m.

Comment | Asvin commented on Flop cal 3bet pot mw?

Why not only calling this hand PF OOP? Would be easier to c/c or c/f the flop.
