Great insight Patrick!
I noticed the positive effect of being more aggressive on the turn after flop X/X. Still, I find it hard to define an heuristic for how much more should I bet and for which sizes.

A very hard exploit could be to probe turn entire range for a single 70% size: this has the benefit of simplify the strat and should probably work fine on low stakes vs majority of field.
A more complex approach would be to split your range between two sizes, 30% and overbet, mixing your range between check and bet. That is what I'm trying to implement at NL100, but I'm struggling to set common rules define betting / checking frequencies, resulting in a poor application of the strat..

Would you have some recommendations on how to adjust this?

Thank you, now it's clearer.

Mudkip thanks for the detailed answer. My 3bet range in this spot against std reg is constructed in value hands (88-AA; AJs+; AQo+; QJs+) and bluff hands (Axs; 56s, 67s, 78s, 89s, 9Ts), adding sometimes hands like KTs, Q9s or smaller pairs when villain is more on the tighter side and/or blinds have an high squeeze stat. I don't clearly understand why from a GTO perspective I should check all my range: I mean my range as 67s, 99, 88 with a lower frequency than villain's range, so surely he has a range advantage, but that does not justify a 100% check in this spot with my range.

Why do you think that 89s is not a good 3bet candidate in position against an average tag reg in a deep stack spot?

Hello everyone!
Overall is going pretty well, I'm keeping 8bb/100 after 7k hands.
Below you can find a screenshot with basic stats and the chart

Here's a trycky hand I played tonight.

PokerStars - €0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3 : http://www.holdemmanager.com

Hero (BTN): €17.03 (340.6 bb)
SB: €5.86 (117.2 bb)
BB: €6.87 (137.4 bb)
UTG: €11.43 (228.6 bb)
MP: €11.16 (223.2 bb)
CO: €10.82 (216.4 bb)

SB posts €0.02, BB posts €0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: €0.07) Hero has 8s 9s
2 folds, CO raises to €0.14, Hero raises to €0.45, fold, BB calls €0.40, CO calls €0.31

Flop: (€1.37, 3 players) 5s 9d 8d
BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets €0.91, fold, CO raises to €2.46, Hero raises to €16.58 and is all-in, CO calls €7.91 and is all-in

Turn: (€22.11, 2 players) As

River: (€22.11, 2 players) Th

Results: €22.11 pot (€1.21 rake)
Final Board: 5s 9d 8d As Th

CO shows 6d 7d: (Straight, Ten High)
(Pre 37%, Flop 79%, Turn 70%)

Hero shows 8s 9s: (Two Pair, Nines and Eights)
(Pre 63%, Flop 21%, Turn 30%)

Pre-flop: standard 3-bet IP vs average reg

Flop: this is the tricky point. In game it felt like obvious to jam flop after villain x/raise op. I bet large flop for protection, repping all the overpairs and 88/99.
When he x/raise he surely can have all the TdJd, QdTd, Adxd and the other combos of flushdraw to include as a semi-bluff in his range composed of those combos and all the 55, 88, 99, 67 (I block 88/99)
I feel that at these stackes when average reg does x/raise in this spot (deep stack) he always has it and never bluffs.
In game it seemed the righ choice to jam for protection, but after reviewing I feel like a flat flop should have been the right move, cause at this stakes it's more likely they are super strong when they check/raise this particular deep stack spot.

Any thoughts on the hand?

thanks in advance

Thank you for the tips. I'm aware of the heavy rake at the micros, unfortunately this is the only way I have to climb the stakes.
I will surely dedicate most of the time to implement what I'll learn every day of my poker journey, my first goal is to become better and better at the game and the bankroll increase will be a consequence.

PS: I posted the same thread on the Journal Section, so feel free to follow this there :)

Thank you Mudkip, I've posted it in the journal section (I was not aware about the section).
Surely I will dedicate tons of time to study and share hands!!

Hello everyone,

I'm an italian 26 years old guy who recently joined the essential membership program of RIO.

This thread is for who wants to follow my poker journey and share ideas, suggestions and anything that could help me in achieving my poker goal for 2020 / 2021: climbing the cash game stakes starting to NL5 Zoom.

Brief introduction*
I've playing poker since I was 18 with decent results (both cash and MTTs). I decided (and I'm excited about it) to focus only in cash game from some months and I easily beated the micros (Ipoker, normal table NL2 - NL5, 10bb/100 over 50k h).
Poker in Italy is not very attractive because the poker field is restricted to italian people and the only platform offering Zoom Poker with decent traffic is Pokerstars. I know that PS offer no rakeback, but I have a full time job and limited time for poker so I need to play this format to increase the hourly number of hands played.
Zoom Poker in Pokerstars.IT runs with decent traffic until NL50, so my goal is to get there as soon as possible and to beat the level (that's why I will try an aggressive bankroll approach at NL5 and NL10).

Approach to the goal*
Starting with a roll of 30 stacks at NL5 (150€), I'm committed to:
- play a range of 25 - 30k hands per month
- as soon as I get 300€, try NL10 with the five stacks rule
- as soon as I get to 1000-1250€, try out NL25
- play NL50 only when I've beated NL25 with a decent sample

Commitment rules*
During the challenge, I'm commited to:
- post here an update at least once every two week
- regularly post hands in forum
- dedicate at least 20% of poker time to study and improve my game (hands reviews, RIO videos)

I'm very interested in grous of fellow players who wants to review hands, share ideas and help each other, so in case you're looking for something similar just PM me.

Thanks in advance for anyone who will support me in this journey and see you in two weeks for the first results of the challenge!
