MP1 open limps. MP2(HJ) folds. We are in the CO. What are your iso and limp behind ranges here?

We dont have any hands for MP1 but he seems for sure like a recreational player. On the BTN and the SB we have two standard regs with stats like 18/15 at 9max. On the BB we have a player who is loose passive with stats of 23/12

My iso range:

Limp behind range:

May 20, 2019 | 3:11 p.m.

How would you play your range in this spot?

9max. First 3 seats fold. MP1 open limps. MP2(HJ) and CO fold. We are in the BTN.

For mp1, we have only a few hands which is not enough to tell what kind player he is. His O/L here though tells us clearly that he is a fish. On the SB on about 160 hands we have a player who is a reg. On the BB we have a player who is 23/12 on 300 hands and I would say he is a loose passive player. His limp% is 10 which is very high and also has open limped from BTN in the past which is very passive.

So for MP1 I think his range will be sth like this:

If we iso here and he calls us for heads up then it might be sth like this(which is 80% defence):

So my iso range would be this one(my sizing would be 4bb):

And my limp behind range would be this:

I think that the fact that BB is a little loose here helps on limping behind more stuff and at the same time decreases fold equity pre and also increases the frequency of multiway pots which would require to have a little stronger iso range here.

I dont know if the O/L range I assigned is correct but lets assume that this one would be his OL range. Based on that range and his high defence, how would your ranges be here?

Post | GeoPur posted in NLHE: Standard deviation

So I saw my standard deviation/100 hands for NL5 on 28k hands and it was I think 74. Is the sample size good enough in order to tell that this is my true standard devation? If not then how many hands do I need?

May 18, 2019 | 4:53 p.m.

So we have to memorize certain percentages to improve as a player, right? I am taking some flops recently like Ace High with two low cards, or baby boards and I memorize the percentages for how often various ranges hit like a 33% flatting range or a 13% range so I can get a feel on how ranges interact with different textures. I saw a lot of percentages on a book written just for playing AK from Splitsuit. It had from what I remember percentages of AK vs various ranges. Exactly what you are talking about basically.

May 16, 2019 | 3:43 p.m.

No, I am not saying this. I say that let's say that we're BTN vs BB again and we studied the hand where BTN cbet flop and then turn and river. Now we're done with the hand but we want to explore a hypothetical scenario where they checked flop. It can't be 100% of their preflop range here since they have a cbet range. Do I need to enter this manually again? That's what I did last time and everything got messed up since I've added weights and many filters as well. In the end I got very frustrated with all of that and closed the program.

Post | GeoPur posted in NLHE: Question regarding Flopzilla

Lets say that we have a hand of BTN vs BB and we want to create a cbet range for the BTN in a specific board. We create that range but then if we want to explore BTN's strategy when they check behind. Do we need to create this range from scratch again? Or is there any option than can invert between the combos you selected which pass the filter and the ones which do not? This would be a really useful feature. Thanks!

How many hands would be good?

May 10, 2019 | 5 p.m.

So for 9max(most of hands are from NL2, some are from NL5) my BTN winrate is 33.84 at almost 12k hands and MP winrate is 9.69 at alomost 21k hands. Is the sample size good enough?

May 9, 2019 | 3:38 p.m.

So my defeault range from the CO is 28% and my bet sizing is 3bb. I see some people use 2.5x instead and I would like to use that. What sizing would be best to use for CO in NL5?

May 8, 2019 | 3:46 p.m.

I am currently playing at NL5(played until now 13k hands but I've lost 9 buy ins. The sample is too small though) as I had said you. I just wanted to study situations with limpers and I read the chapter on Grinder's manual where he said to open my database and filter for situations like this to study. It just happened to be a hand from NL2.

May 7, 2019 | 3:38 p.m.

Ok. Thank you! :)

May 7, 2019 | 3:32 p.m.

You confused me a little. Do you mean that you iso same as open when both conditions are met or at least one? What do you mean by saying normal rec?

If we play vs a player who is fishy but we don't know what trype of fish they are, what range do we iso? Let's take this spot for example. Let's say that we dont know that CO is a fit and fold fish. In this case do we iso the same range of hands like we would do if he was a sticky fish?

Also do you limp behind weaker aces or fold them here when CO is fit and fold?

May 6, 2019 | 3:41 p.m.

Yes, I need to not overestimate players at these stakes. Sometimes I play vs some regs and I think they are good players, only to see later that they do silly mistakes in a certain spots

So here he could have 78s, 73s or 32s(For the last 2 hands I think he does not have them often). He may also have 99, 66, 55 and 44 and 2pairs like 96s, 65s, 54s, 64s, Q9s. I exclude QQ or any overpair since those are a raise for sure pre. I triple barreled and he raised on my last bet. I think almost always this is for value. Now I think he would do that with hands of 2pair +. If he had sth like AQ or KQ here, I think he would check call. Also if he had AQ or KQ here it would be only 2 combos possibly(those of the missed fds but we block the one). I dont really think he would call 2 streets with just Ace High + No FD or King High.

Lastly he may not even have AQ here when he checks because he might have opened that preflop.

So straights are 12 combos, sets are 12 combos and if he raises KQ of missed fd on the river, that's only 1 combo vs 24 that crush us. I think we need to fold this one(and I didn't even include the combos for 2pairs.)

Villain's 3bet might possibly be smaller than 4.8% in this spot. Isn't the 3bet stat the average 3bet for all the scenarios combined?

So whatever the range % he has in this spot, do you think it will be linear or polarized? You wrote a linear range but I 3bet a polarized range here of QQ+ and AK. Should I adopt a different strategy? I think 3betting KQs here is too loose for Value imo but I might be wrong.

Preflop he raised an early open so he is going to be very tight. I think he 3bets QQ+ and AK. Do you think he could 3bet more stuff? I dont think he 3bet stuff like JTs or AJs. I dont think he 3bets any live cards with one jack in them so I dont believe villain can have top pair here. We are against an overpair. Now I dont really think he can have here AK as a bluff. He could have it on the flop but the turn is a brick, he might slow down here. I think folding is best, but I also think that folding top pair to a 2barrel is nitty. What do you think?

What do you mean by saying you have to go the distance? Sorry my english is not my native language.

Btw I forgot to include stats for utg +1. I am pretty sure that when I checked that hand yesterday, he was fishy with stats similar to raiser. I think that was the reason I made the call because I expected that utg1 would call a lot here and thus I would want to call more hands to get postflop with his weak range.

So today I decided to take some shots at NL5.
So, mp at 88 hands in 9max has overall vpip/pfr of 42/7. And also has limped until now 23 times.
Flop ($0.62) 5 K Q
MP checks, Hero bets $0.44, MP calls $0.44
Here he might decide to check call with KK, QQ, 55 and KQ althoughI think if
he checked here he would do that with the intention of raising.

Some other stuff that he could check call here:

Fds like AJ, AT, A9-A2(if he has those) and stuff like JT, T9. Calls also oesd of JTs
Turn ($1.50) 5 K Q 3
MP checks, Hero bets $1.20, MP raises to $2.40, Hero calls $1.20
They raise all of flushes . Because
we hold the 65 of diamonds, they cant have flushes like 65, 54, 64. We beat 0
combos from their flushes. If they check called 33 at flop they could raise that
now I think. Also fds with the A like AdJx, AdTx maybe. I dont think they play A9o or
worse pre to include more aces. Could bluff with JTs(3c) also. Could bluff raise
with AxJd and AxTd.

The size at river is silly and I had to call. I think I played it well. What do you think?

Here we are going to need about 38% pot odds to make the breakeven call without rake. I think he shoves here KK(1c), 77(3c), JJ(1c). Now I am not sure if he would 3bet shove with 2pair of KJ which is 4 combos. Neither I know if he would ever bluff here with a hand like QTs which he probably opens preflop. One thing I did not think in the table when I made the call and I saw now is that he may have folded KJo from that position pre(it is not like a clear open). Same also for QTs. I think we should have folded here.

Let's say he has KJ here then our equity vs sets and KJ is 28%. Still a fold. If we add QTs also then it jumps to 40%. About a breakeven call here. So do you make the call?

I did the math and we need 40% pot odds in order to make the call. Villain at 600 hands at 9max has overall vpip.pfr of 17/13 and 3bet is 5 but the sample size is 11 times out of 221 times. I think 11 times is not a big sample in order to take this stat very seriously.

If villain has the range of QQ+ and AK here then we have exactly 40% equity. Such a huge 5bet imo would not be done with AKo and maybe QQ as well(not sure though about that). I think I should have folded.

Does he call here with anything worse than a straight? Because if he doesn't then there is not any reason for me to shove here. I thought that he would call with sets and 2pairs at least.

How often do you think villain defends here when he has such a high fold vs steal? I've no idea what range he would have here. I've made a rough assumption that they flat 15% and also they 3bet: JJ+ and AQ+. Their 3bet is close to 4% and combined with flat range gives him a total defence of 19%.

I think here if it's ok to call then it is close to a breakeven call.

I've made some assuptions on what villain could have:

#Run1: They bet for value their straights(JTs and 65s, did not include JTo here since I assumed they folded pre but I may be wrong), 2p(97s, 87s) and TT, A9s, K9s. Could also bluff some stuff but I did not include that. Vs this range we have 45% equity. A clear call.

#Run2- The only difference from before is that he checks now TopPairs, but still bets TT though. We have 33% equity.

#Run3- They call on the flop low pocket pairs(77-44, 22) and so they might appear here with stuff like 77 which they hit on the turn. If they did that and the rest of the range was like Run2 then here we have about 29% equity.

-All those runs did not include any bluffing they might do.

From what I learned, it's bad to open limp because of the huge rake. Now I've read an article which advises to open raise from SB 62%(range below) of the time. It's a few years old article(I think its advise was for Mid stakes, not sure if that's how we need to play at Micros) so I am asking in case things have changed and we need to adopt a different strategy.
