Hey 100/200nl full time pro looking to join study group. DM me please

Hey Stars 100/200nl reg would love to be involved if you setting up / found a study group

Ive just come back from a long break from poker so its defo not that.

Nor is it fatigue I just find after a certain amount of time I auto pilot maybe shorter sessions, but I really like grinding long ones :)

Based on the fact you said you struggle in 3b pots when you arent the aggressor, i would fold pre or 4b as you know you're not gonna be comfortable calling and both 4b'ing and folding are fine here

I assume we jam river which i think is ok, obviously hes balanced but generally i would assume people check JJ/QQ and missed AQs here.

Although i probably wouldnt float with no real equity bar backdoor broadway, id be more inclined if he cbet gives up alot and we had like a BDFD aswell

Im GII we can defo get called by worse and if he has us dead we are most likely going for broke anyway :)

Check flop is good, boards terrible for AK betting turn w/Ad is fine and rivers are a wierd one once you figure out if your opponent is competent or not you can bluff/check most rivers

ie. if hes thinking he knows you probably cbet 8x and FD's but if hes a bit silly he will probs fold alot of stuff OTR thinking you have those if you double barrel (im not saying you should always cbet 8x and FDs here but i think at 10nl ppl will assume you do)

I would call turn here we've got kinda alot of outs vs everything and getting insane odds kinda sucks that we are OOP but i would peel then jam rivers when we get there and just x/f others

x/jamming is possible here but idk what else you would x/jam you are just gonna bet/bet/bet your overpairs and sets i imagine so it will look like a desperate draw trying exactly what it is

I mean i would of just 5b jammed anyway preflop think it saves alot of trouble here, however i think if we peel this 4b id be tempted to just jam over cbet OTF we can get value from worse and realize our equity vs him and save ourselves from getting into spots like this

Feels like hes really nutted here, i would probably fold river which feels horrible considering we had KK pre ha

Thanks ill be sure to check that out

I agree its alot of busted spade hands some TP's maybe some sets and occasionally could be Jxs that rivered trips

ohhhhh ok, well i think call call call is our only line here unless we have a read he only triples /donks strong hands in which case i would consider folding

I assume we x all these streets before player 6 bets since we were OOP, i think if you are gonna check flop here you have to x/c down with the top pair we are balancing with i guess :)

You could also bet bet x/c here if you expect him to bet missed draws but i think x/c x/c x/r is like the worst line you could take here since you are bluffing with the best hand alot of the time. And dont really fold out a better hand by check raising

I would play your hand exactly the same way, i dont think i like calling 22-55 we just fold so many flops, although vs a fish you can probably argue it since we will be getting exploited less and facing less bets, while getting more value from our sets when we hit them. So vs fish 22-55 is probably ok to peel but vs regs i wouldnt get into the habit of doing so

I think betting turn bigger would be much better. I think you can argue both x/b and betting here but i think x/b is better, he could peel some Axdd hands that wont fold and AK aswell. Although betting would probably fold out some Kx hands and thats about it really and we may somehow sometimes have some SDV beating some diamond draws but thats unlikely.

I think overbetting would be bad here as if he is capped why would we overbet for value into a capped range, this is 10nl so i dont think you can OB into his capped range with the hope of levelling him. So i guess at 10nl it might not be a bad idea to OB but it would be a bad habit to get into in this spot imo and i still dont think he would fold like AQdd and AJdd to the OB anyway.

Hi, really enjoyed your story and the video in general. The format to the video was really good it wasnt just a full video of one thing, doing a short presentation then some live HH review was really good.

Have you got any recommendations of where to start learning GTO properly. (Ie any particular articles or videos you watched/read)

Also where is a good place to start in terms of constructing GTO ranges postflop, is it something you did yourself by looking at boards you struggled on and constructing ranges on them or is it something you discussed with your coach?

The Ac is out there and if he has a worse flush then we have 8 outs which is roughly 14% which is never a good spot to be in. Turn is defo a fold w/out reads he could have 2p's and even if you give him AxQc into his range i still imagine (w/o stoving) that we are way behind here

If you think JT/T9 and most 2p's will call a river bet, then betting is a no braining he has way more 2ps than 8x here. I would also expect him to jam the turn with 8x a decent amount of the time when you bet

1. Checking back for some balance is nice some of the time but most of the time esp. at 20nl i would go ahead and bet here as you will get a lot of folds when he misses, your hand can withstand a check raise and there are plenty of good turns to double barrel

2. You would probably play a Jx exactly like this if you x/b the flop called turn and you would bet river so its not hard to rep Jx or a hand like 99/TT, betting could fold out 6x and all A highs that beat you and maybe some random 22-55 he decided to play like this

Never folding. he can take this line with what olga said aswell as some AA that fish like to limp then go crazy post flop with. But when we are behind we have 4 outs

at full ring this is the easiest turn fold of your life.

fwiw i would fold this board and this line at 6m too

If you have a read that he stabs when you check then i guess the x/c OTF is ok, i would just prefer betting flop as we can make him fold a lot of stuff with equity, get called by worse and we can see alot of good turn cards (just fyi its not his cbet stat you are looking at here since he was not PFR)

as played fold river seems good

Pretty much what i thought gg

lol we have a double gutter peel is good, peel turn and fold when we brick our monster draw

Thats true, you think we ever call a flush here?
