What do you mean you're folding flop against 50%?
I think folding JTs preflop too tight.
I was surpised by the donk OTF but with 2 overcards I think its fine to call.
The turn is the reason why I posted as I was lost. I called again because of the 2 overcards, but you're right, the turn is better for villain's range.
What size bet would you use to bluff the river?

Why check the turn?

On the flop, villain's range is tight, so I'm not sure whether betting is a good idea, although the flop is somewhat dry so betting isn't terrible I guess.
On the turn, after villain calls, his range is quite strong so I don't want to bet, although maybe I should have considering there's the flush draw?
I decided to check with the intention to c/f if I don't hit the flush.

The flop is better for our range as we can represent AK, plus we block both straights and flush so I'm ok with betting 1/3 here.
On the turn the 6 gives us an OESFD so I'm happy to fire again. Maybe size bigger though?
On the river, I think villain's range probably beats us after calling twice so I give up.

Flop: Considering this is multiway and somewhat wet flop, I guess I should bet like 75% pot.
Turn: Looking back I think the 7 is way better for villain's range and check/calling would be better.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
1 more questions if I may:
Why does limpers stack depth make this iso not worth?

The combos of better Jx and sets is about the same as the worse jacks he can have, both around 76. Considering he limp called I put him on the weaker side of Jx

I copy paste the RAW option from poker tracker and copy it here but I get an "invalid hand" message and can't post. Any help please?

Not betting ofte I get, but what is the logic behind sizing small o. wet flops? every source on cbetting says wet flop=big bet

I've noticed it as well, I just don't know what to do on turns. I've been studying cbetting a lot recetly but it's a struggle

Feb. 25, 2020 | 5:28 p.m.

I'm working at my cbet game, and I'm not going to lie, I'm struggling.
So, from my notes on cbetting:
Dry boards: Barrel wide, size small.
Low card boards: Cbet more. We want to deny equity. size bigger
Possibly best (marginal made) hands that can use protection: bet small
So the sizing is confusing but I chose to go 2/3 to deny equity from Q,K,A

What do you think?

Turn ($0.82) A K 6 J
BB bets $0.40, Hero calls $0.40
If we assume villain donks flop and cbets turn with Ax/Kx we have 20% and pott odds are 25%. Do we fold or call because implied odds? then again he could have improved to a straight although we block QQ.
River ($1.62) A K 6 J 8

I don't have enough reads to be able to assume weather villain would fold to a bluff assuming he has A/K. Besides I have some SDV in case they missed a draw. So I believe chekinh is fine?

What do you mean seating scripts?
Also which sites would you sau have more?

Feb. 22, 2020 | 3:49 p.m.

I'm pretty sure the author of the grinder's manual is the same who did the form the ground up videos (peter clarke). so maybe it's more or less kind of the same content and not wrth it if you alrady have the from the ground up video courses

I play micros at the moment, but I had to make this post here.
I was on a webinar the other day, and the coach said that you need a player with at least 50%vpip on the table to make money. or 3 villains being close to 40%.

I said " There are plenty of fish in the micros, and even then sometimes I'm strugglig to find fish because all the tables with the fish have huge waitig lists.. so what do you do on higher stakes where there aren't any fish?"
To which he replied "There are fish even up to NL200/400, there's no shortage of fish"

I have to say I am astonished by his answer.

What is your experience? Are there so many fish in these stakes?
Or is it like there aren't so many but you'll encounter enough that will be your main source of income?
And how do you find the fish if there aren't so may, do you have multiple sites open, going through tables until you find them?

Or does most of your income come from exploiting small edges on tight regs?

Thanks

I'm no pro but how i've been improving is trying to implement something specific each time until I become very good at it and move to the next thing. I haven't watched from the groun up but I think it should have chapters with fundamentals. so like read a chapter say, opening ranges and for a week play and focus on that, don't pay any attention to post flop. maybe even fold every hand until you get the ranges right. next focus on calling ranges, and finaly 3bettig ranges. you can actually leran these without even playing actually, just memorize them . next move to the next chapter, which might be cbetting. take notes on what boards are good to cbet and other otes you find hepfull. then practise that and mark hands for review everyday. by the end of the week look at yout progress and if you're ready to move into the next fundamental, and so on and so forth..

when i started i went ahead and read through grinder's manual 30 minutes every day and played everyday. it kind of helped but i wasn't really focused so I didn't improve too much. lately I'm trying to focus on specific things and not move on until I feel I have improved a lot on that and I've made huge progress.

I'd suggest reading sky matsuhatsi's "how to study poker". It goes into detail on how to study, similar to what I said already.

Good luck

probably 99, maybe 88. 65/54 is better because it has less SDV?
