I hate to fold this but I can only imagine him appearing with 66 or JJ in this hand the KT as you say less likely but still there given it's BvB along with QQ's some times. I don't see why he would raise earlier street with 66 or JJ as no flush draw and barely any draws so unless he thinks you have QQ+ then he's only making you fold worse hands. BvB though I'm not sure I can fold this.
Probably should though as people rarely bluff raise the river when this tight.

Not much can be gotten from 2k hands it would still help if we knew your vpip/pfr tendency. The other thing to keep in mind is that Cash is a whole different kettle of fish to sng/mtt. Much more post flop play in cash and this might be a weakness you have but as such you'd need to be sharing hands and more stats for us to give any advice.

Why would you raise the flop? Do you think you'd get value from worse Qx or a call from a flush/straight draw? I think I prefer the call but could raise it the odd time as well however I think QT a little weak against a nit
Turn I check let him keep bluffing if he wants or if he checks hope he hits a flush on the river and bets.
River Check or donk seems fine but I think I prefer the check and hope he bluff with some stuff. When he raise your raise it's pretty sick but I'm still calling if he has 99 sucks to be me.
Jan. 2, 2015 | 2:42 a.m.
Yup calling this down sucks when he has KK or TT but dancing all the way to the bank when it's AA, AK, KQ etc.

It's not quite as simple as the "first 3 players folding".
The biggest difference to me is...
You'll be posting the blinds more often which is why the games are less tight than 9 max games. So for every six hands at 100nl you'll pay $1.50 while at 9 max you see 9 hands for that $1.50.
This also leads to you playing in the blinds more often but also being on the button more often as well. So if you've got huge leaks in blind play or opening ranges etc it'll be more pronounced.
Stealing becomes more important again because of less players and cost of blinds every 6 hands. You can't really just sit back and wait for the nuts, though I do see a ton of players doing this.

Probably want to leave out the results in future as it bias replies. Guys bet into 3 then 2 players then fires river bu this sizing is horrible so probably right on the fish part. Given the sizing think you have to call as he can show up with any Ax but I'm not happy about it.
May 25, 2014 | 3:11 a.m.
Depends maybe he's wanting to look weak and get shoved over. Anyway I'm going by the players read so far.
May 25, 2014 | 3:02 a.m.
I don't mind the turn call but I'd fold river. He'll be checking back smaller pairs and Ax other than the AT but even then he might check the AT. Remembers they bet into players on the flop and 3 barrelled which is incredibly strong.
May 25, 2014 | 2:59 a.m.
I'd fold to the 4 bet pre your ATo isn't playing well in a 4 bet pot if this guys playing solidly.
May 25, 2014 | 2:51 a.m.
You deposit $400 and play with that...right? The thing is that's not your BR technically that's just the money you have on the site from the sounds of things you have a much bigger bankroll in reality as you could reload due to your job/savings etc. BR management is a guideline and it comes down to what your comfortable with in the end and how financially supported you are. If your living is poker then you need a fairly substantial official BR to account for variance/emergencys etc to feel safe and secure if you have other income then the actual BRmaybe less but the playability maybe the same.

Remember you'll get folds sometimes with the squeeze and if someone is playing that obviously then you'll surely be making much more money from them in other spots (stealing etc). Calling is a fair option though with the QQ as people won't expect the set when you do hit multiway he'll be expecting you to have squeezed that. AKo isn't good multiway but as said before can work with squeeze because of folds and other people calling mistakes.
Saying that it's pretty specific situation so personally I'd not spend too much time worry about it.

I think the fold is fine. He's not fully stacked so calling to mines not worth it. Shoving you've not enough info to know if he's 3 betting/bluffing lightly. If you call your playing with hand thats not going to be great vrs an average 3 betting range against an EP openin what's going to be a small spr pot. Folding only becomes exploitable if this happens often and I can't think getting 3 bet utg by sb lightly will happen often enough where you can't fight back with better hands.
April 27, 2014 | 4 p.m.
Just fold it's not worth giving him the extra $30+. He's a NIT, he's 3 bet your MP open, bet flop then raised the Turn. He's got AA or KK here and to be honest I think it's more likely AA. Nit's are not bluffing very often and even if this is the very rare time he does he's not doing it enough or without decent equity (NFD) for folding to be a leak imo. I'm also sure as hell not GII pre without some decent read, sure his 3 bet is 3.4 but what is it vrs EP/MP?

Would this allow them to play with the whole world or only other Californian players?
April 25, 2014 | 2:32 a.m.
Yup it's variance in the end however depending on table size and dynamics you might want to have raised the UTG rather than flatting with the AA. If you have some agro guys behind and are expecting to get raised then sure the flat will make sense but from the limited live I've played I've found people call far to much and you then end up multiway with AA which isn't good specially when deep.
April 25, 2014 | 2:29 a.m.
I don't like the raise the only NFD that makes sense is AJ/AT since the K and Q are already gone and I'm not sure your 3 betting them verses UTG so I'd probably not expect you to have them. When the SB donks then get called by the BB it's starting to get rough I'm expecting TT, JTs, JJ, ATs 9Ts and some smaller flushes and the odd QQ. The small bet on the river by BB kind of looks like he's wanting a call. It's more a case of whether I call or fold to be honest in a vacuum with no reads.

Remember there is the option to gorge one month so if you want to spend $30 or £40 a month just go for the $10 a month then one month jump up to the $100 and pump the Elite subscription. It's not ideal but it's an option at the moment and you could do it one month in 3 roughly. i too think a mid tier level would be nice but understand the reason for the Elite level cost.

I think you have to fold the river there's just too much beating you here by the river. AK, KQ, TJ though you have blockers to them all I can't see him barreling anything less and I don't think it's be even AK, I think he might c/c that. I mean you've called 3 times he's got to give you credit for something.

I'd fold or Squeeze pre with ATo it's not going to do well in a multiway pot when your out of position. If you do want to play it then I think you have to Squeeze with it but I'm not even over the moon with that. The fish is going to call then the regs coming along as well and your back at the same point with a rough hand. If it was ATs on the other hand its a different story.
As played I fold the flop which really isn't nitty imo. You have two players putting money in and the reg knows he has someone behind him so he's going to be playing pretty honest. Your equity is poor given better Ax and the flush / straight draws have good equity against you.
March 8, 2014 | 4:42 a.m.
I think he folds QQ/JJ and the KJs/KQ. He might not fold AA but even then it looks like a crazy but strong line there. You 3 bet then raised big on the flop and shoved the turn. He doesn't have many hands on you so you've no really idea how he see you so maybe he'll stack off with AK thinking your spewing but I honestly think your just going to see a fold here from anything your beating and called by 55 kk 66 and AA.
Flop I Don't mind the $7 for the reason you give. Turn I think I make it $14 or $15 which leaves $25 behind for the river which is just under a 1/2 pot shove.

6000 hands really isn't very many when it comes to online poker however if I'm reading these right. It looks like your playing 37% of hands this is rather loose and you rarely fold. Basically it looks like your opening with too many weak hands and calling down with them. So when you get to showdown you lose 95% of the time.

Excellent Mikey thanks.

Would also be nice if you could add a few more sort options. Currently its rather tricky to find anything unless its new or you know the author. Maybe tags like zoom, 6 Max, fr, 100nl, live, theory, etc
Feb. 27, 2014 | 12:33 a.m.
Hell NO! It's awesome.
Feb. 23, 2014 | 2:10 a.m.
For me I average about 800 hands per hour at zoom when 4 tabling so it does vary player to player. I think between 200-250 is probably about average per zoom table.
Feb. 21, 2014 | 4:23 a.m.
He never 4 bet at 4:50 only 3 bet.
Sadly I think this is what many of the sites are aim for to turn poker into a casino game. What they don't get is that the reason people play poker is because they can win reliably if they are good. I don't think RIO will fall into that casino mentality.
