Folding river here is pretty bad considering prie we are getting.

Interesting poker story. I am also reading Matthew Jandas book and it has opened my eyes to alot really enjoying it. GL sir I will be following.

Yeah I lived in Guatemala for nearly two years and speak fluent Spanish, you should definitely take classes it is well worth it. In fact, when I started learning I got classes of a really nice Colombian girl called Claudia in El Poblado. If you're interested you can find her at the 'Black Sheep' hostal. I would recommend it even as something to do away from poker to be able to switch off. Anyway, Cartagena would be nice but expensive I'd imagine, I wouldn't be so sure about Lima though. I have been there a few times and didn't really like it. Northern Colombia along the coast is beautiful and I would say your best option if you are looking for good weather. GL

Gl man! I love Medellin best city in South America by far. Hope you are enjoying 'Las Paisas' Oh and nice graph!

GL, I am interested to see how this goes for you. I play 6 max NLHE and would like to one day start playing PLO.

Gl man! Keep the updates coming :)

I just found this thread, nice work Steve I'll be following.

Ok, I only have flopzilla. I'll check out Poker Ranger and EDVis now.

Well done arizonabay. You're really putting in a lot of work on your game it is great to see the hard work is paying off. I am one of those 'on the fence guys' looking at getting a coach so I might just give Nick a shout. I noticed in one of your previous comments you said you had improved your knowledge of ranges and when you have a range advantage, I would be interested in hearing what you did to improve this..

Thanks guys for the input, some good advise there. Is how I under repped my hand which would leave his range much wider with value hands I beat and bluffs. 

I would sometimes 3b this hand but definitely think it is just a call, I would never fold this hand pre as I think this is way too exploitable. 

I would normally 3b this hand pre but villain 4bs quite wide. You could be right to take a 3b/fold line...

Yes but you can't just do an equity calculation and give him one hand. You have to give him a range of hands. A standard reg is going to be playing 40+% of hands on the BTN.

Well it would be a good example to run through Flopzilla but when you think of their range they have a much wider range than we do so they are going to have a lot more air. If villain double barrels a lot it might be a good spot to c/r turn. This looks like a very strong line and you have some outs if called. Also, I think you should try think of their range more and how weak it is than worrying about what we have.

I wouldn't be 3 betting vs. this villain if he doesn't fold to 3b's and doesn't fold to CB's. You want to 3b with a linear range so that when he calls you have a strong range going to the flop. A5s is fine vs. a villain who is capable of folding and we have some decent equity if called but not vs. a villain who never folds. As played I check back the turn to try hit our straight.

No, I would play this a bluff catcher especially if villain likes to double barrel. You can't expect to be called by worse so essentially you're turning your hand into a bluff and we don't want that as it has good SD value. Just c/c 2nd pair hands especially BB vs. button.

Yeah I'd imagine the coaches are playing at a higher level where you wouldn't get away with it but at 50nl when some are opening 50% OTB and CB'ing 60% they are going to have a lot of air in their range and this can be exploited. You could definitely increase that 8% without being too out of line.

Ok, well if you have a good winrate from the button its not too bad. Judging by your non showdown winnings it seems you are playing a bit passively postflop. Maybe try find more spots where villain is CB'ing a tonne and folding to c/r's a lot when you call from the BB. I think this spots can be quite profitable when you have GSSD's and backdoor FD's. What sort of ranges do you 3b from SB & BB?

You say you are not too worried about your fold to 3b because you are opening 100%, they fold too much and only 3b 8%. Are you taking these stats from their overall stats? Maybe have a look at their 3b stats vs hero. Opening 100% and folding to 70% of 3b's is extremely exploitable.

Jaacsin, I bought it directly from tommyangelo.com, the book is called 'Elements of Poker'. I downloaded it to my ipad and read through the iBooks application.

Yes maybe it would be best to play some AKs, KK+ this way and 4b AKo for value. Also, is it best to play KQs, QJs, TT-JJ this way also?

I am not sure if 4bet folding here is going to be the most +EV, surely if we 4b we have to call off against his shove? We are 100bbs deep so if I 4b to 20bb and he shoves we only need 33% equity to call and if he is shoving QQ+, AK I think that is a call. I don't have pokerstove open but I am nearly sure we have the required equity.

Thanks for input guys. I think checking back is best as I can't see many hands left to get value from. If we check back and villain shoves blank river is that a fold?

It is a tough spot but when we analyse it we can only really beat a pure bluff and what can he call flop and turn with that he can turn into a bluff? I am reading the Tommy Angelo book at the moment and Regularblue hit the nail on the head. This is a perfect example of reciprocality and if we can fold this spot we have a serious edge over other regs at this level.
