Or 22s

The more hands you play (volume) should fine tune the trust needed to listen to the part of you that knows it’s a fold. And that is connected to trust. And discipline. And skill.

AQdd with the SPR and the wetness of the boards its a clear bet on the turn, and if he ships it you call off.. your not deep enough to be checking there.

99S hand, whats the difference, you know he has AK here huge part of the time, if you ship it he calls, if you check you give him a chance to check back. its almost like you couldn't go wrong in this setup

thanks for the feedback.. i agree w wanting pot to be small heading to the flop to have room to maneuver (allowing skill to have longterm playability) as well as betting 1/3rd on various flops where its dry and doesn't warrant bigger sizing.. --i liked how you said 3x pre + 1x for each limper, sometimes it gets confusing on what to size.. and in live poker, even your rule pre flop raising rule shouldn't apply always as the dynamics can be crazy with the odd maniac, whale etc that pops in from time to time.. thanks

was going fine till you went on a long rant w A8ss before a cbet like cmon

this was so boring becuz you showed two hands in depth that were not fascinating at all

thats a pretty disappointing call on the river w AA w 4 diamonds out there… your better then that

thank you for a full ring session, its the most realistic to a live cash game setting opposed to 6 max. ranges are tighter and its nice to see…also do you agree that sizings in live setting are going to be bigger in a vacuum… i.e. pre flop 4x instead of 3x, and c bets are rarely ever 1/3rd pot.. etc i think its becuz online people are multi tabling and everything is tighter

sounds like the better question to ask is do you call pre flop when you know the bb has AA AK KK QQ 95% OF the time. i imagine that its a fold, and you'd need $700+ To make it a call knowing guy behind is coming along

pretty standard given spr… however you played it kind of aggressive given the flop texture and your kicker.. but it was gonna be the same results

would you use these 1/3rd cbet sizings in a live setting.. or is this just online style?

why does it matter if he's balancing his c bet range if you don't even know if he's balancing

why did you call with kq on kqaa7 board flush made river, and u said u called becuz he has some qx for a chop… that sounds too thin

how did you fold the Q10 hand? and didnt give much detail except "people aren't bluffing that much"

66 hand you over bet river and he just called when he rivered 88 set… interesting

part 1 dissects the problem, part 2 explains the solution

wow

pretty nice …basicALly affirmations

check or bet $40sh

given his hand agreed he is fairly balanced..
he did check flop however, which he would do with weak pairs,,, he would probably bet his air, so when he goes all in on river you can almost piece the puzzle together, trip 5s or air.. or top boat. its almost better if he bets flop for hero mode?
--also do you think c betting is a better line here oop then check calling… cuz i admit on paper the flop looks like it hits buttons range, but maybe we should just bet and realize button is so wide regardless.. wonder what button does to a strong cbet here

blocking the AA here, it really weights villan on smashing this flop… it would suck if he had KK but i agree he has top two and all sets here..
is checking back these flops w AA a good play sometimes too, i think yes..

Its annoying when you bet correctly and donkeys call and get there… i think you have to size up to $65 here, though not much, at least you won't have any regrets

it feels like you should raise since the bb has so many draws here… like the SD he prob just hit on the turn that gave you top set.. its a tough spot cuz sure he can do that cold call w sets, but theres wayyyy more draws out there then sets..

shouldn't this depend on villans image…he must of been showing some bluffs for you to make this call.

RunItTw1ce i think there is no "way" to be, tight or passive or this or that.. its just dependent on the table your at..and you gotta adjust adapt react to the dynamic conditions, and make the best play in the moment..

i like the call pre flop..multiway for a cheap price, i don't think its a fold (plus bb might come along too)

your line is perfect..its a great example of why its important to have a image that tight but capable of bluffing..because if your image is nitty or too passive, the river will be too polarizing and villan can fold exploitatively.. but if you've shown a bluff before, or semi bluffed and got there etc etc then villan might find a reason to call you.. so if your a nit then you gotta bet river small for value.. simply put your river sizing is dependent on your image at the table and or history w villan

it seems like a fold pre flop given your labeling of villan, plus your oop.. its not the worst call but it feels like a fold given these factors. your thinking about calling the flop cuz his bet size is flawed, cuz your assuming he's thinking like you.. a lot of tight players play scared and bet bigger sizings on "safe" flops.. (not to say you were wrong on your read)..just saying.
you got extremely lucky on the turn, and this is the spot that lets you know its a fold pre. I'm thinking if original raiser called the 3bet then for sure you could jump in there profitably with your hand..but this is a tough pickle. it sucks to fold pre cuz u wanna gamble, or see the flop, or play poker etc.. but this is like one of those disciplined sigh folds. also, if stacks are 1k each i think its a call for sure.. i wonder at what effective stack depth does it become a fine call.
