In my exp from micros running bluffs like this is only profitable against regs that are capable of folding. Don't get me wrong bluff like that is good but what good it is if they snap call with QJ for example. So before doing fancy bluffs like this ask yourself is he capable of folding and than do it. I think player pool on these limits over folds or never folds. find the ones that over fold and exploit the fck out of them. And never run bluffs like this against fish and some other maniacs. Peace

On this board texture I would be more inclined to raise aces there is a lot of bad cards for you like hawks said. And yea in general I would not flat call a 4bet w AA OOP. As far as the hand is played I would really have a tough time to call his river bet would find a fold here.

So in general on boards that have many natural bluff candidates I should be defending more hands OTR. I know that sometimes when I get raised OTT I just assume that I am beat because a lot of times you are. I moved from NL10 lately and I have this mentality turn raise you are fucked =)... I just need to change my mindset I guess.

Well what if he would play 54d/54c like that and he got there on the river. T9 could be played like this but that is 9com. Hard for him to have AQc since I have A2c so he could play AQd like this. I am not so sure that a call here is the right play. Prove me wrong because I also
wanted to find a strong reason to call. I calculated how many combos do I beat and yea based on that it is a call but would he really bluff all his missed FD&SD combos ?

Hey guys I recently moved up in stakes. This is a hand I played today and I didn't know what to do OTR. I open up A2c from Mid and BTN calls. So after him raising OTT I put his range TT, 99, or 33 as a bluff he could be raising with Axd maybe even KJd he could be also raising T9 for protection but I think he would raise the flop with two pair hands. My main concern is that he raise turn with Axd and than just bombed the river when hi has hit an ace. It is hard for me to belive that he would raise like AT OTT or could he? Should I be folding this turn or take a check call line OTT and than see what happens on river. Should I be calling this river is also sth that bugs me... lines like this are under bluffed I think. What do you guys think? How would you play in the same spot? Thanks cheers!

So to sum it up it is best to flat call against a passive opponent that I know plays fit or fold postflop. And my bottom line for cold 4betting should be TT/JJ +. And my 4 bet sizing should be smaller. But lets say we have AQs should I be flatting here OOP? And lets say we have AKs should I be cold 4betting AK in this case or also flat call??
Oct. 27, 2018 | 12:12 p.m.
I agree with you guys it was a quite optimistic shove on river. No a lot of worse hands that would call and his lead on river looks strong. Should just call it off and save me some money in this case =)
Oct. 27, 2018 | noon
would you also fold hands strong as JJ or AQ ?
Oct. 26, 2018 | 11:04 p.m.
So as playing a level above me what would you do in this spot ? =)
Oct. 26, 2018 | 10:36 p.m.
You might be right that my sizing is quite large. Would be better to make it 2.25 and than get away to a shove. What do you think about flat calling here?

So I know this is nit much of a hand but it is a situation that is giving me a lot to think and I would like to discuss it with you guys. So I have TT on BB which is pretty sweet =) CO RFI, BTN 3bets and me go ??? So cold 4 betting here is I think one of the worst options given that villans 3bet range is fairly tight. If I get jammed which happened I have to fold because I am for sure way behind or in best case I am flipping. So what about flat calling here would that be better? So I am getting 37% on that call with my TT I have at least 49% against his 3betting range and I made it in equilab pretty tight so sth. like that JJ+,ATs+,A5s,T9s,98s,ATo+ maybe it is wider but who knows. But than again if I don't hit my set or a bord that missed his range I am fucked and OOP... What do you guys think? Should I just be folding this pf and let it be... I am really interested in other opinions. Thanks ! Cheers much love.

So my question here is should I be calling this river or my shove is still profitable. Since he flat called preflop I think I can safely discard AK from his range. Which leaves me KQ that crushes me, pocket 44/33 (maybe??) and A5s (not so sure that A5s would be in his range). I think on this limits shoving river here is still profitable play. What do you guys think should I be just calling off this river? Thanks in advance, cheers!
Oct. 26, 2018 | 7:40 p.m.
I understand thanks guys I appreciate the help =) cheers!
Oct. 11, 2018 | 3:47 p.m.
Okay as said before check calling the flop would be better but now when I think of it raising for protection also makes sense which I actually did... so as regarding river it is a clear fold huh?
Oct. 11, 2018 | 1:14 p.m.
Thanks guys. I would not say my call was too loose but it would be better if I had position for sure. Regarding river play I think it was a complete fckup... should have checked and let him bluff/value bet.
Oct. 11, 2018 | 1:09 p.m.
I also agree that check/calling line on the flop would be better. It was a close one on the river he could still be bluffing his missed AcXc draws but as you say many hands in his range have improved too... thanks

So my question is with what is he calling check raise on flop I think sth. like this : ATo (6com)/AcXc/QcJc/...I think with sets he woild stack off and also some 8c7c. I am really lost here would he call 77 till the river to hit his straight. Did he got there with QcJc ?? I did some range analyzing and I was ahead of his range with my two pair. Was it ok to check raise the flop here? I think I should call this river given how the hand was played... What do you guys think? Thanks in advance =)

Hi guys. This is a hand I played and I have some questions about my play here, I am not to happy about it. So I open from MP with 87s, CO 3bets and I call. Was my call too loose here being OOP ? Regarding stack sizes I think my call was correct and I also have enough EQ against his 3betting LP range. Hand than plays as it plays. What I hate about it is me betting out on river because my bet just pushes his bluffs out and some value hands with which he would bet I think. But I would also hate him checking behind his AK/ QQ,JJ... what is the right play here should I check? Anything there that I missed? Thanks a lot!

Stay away from pokerstars.
Oct. 4, 2018 | 8:58 p.m.
You fold like a ton of EQ as I watched QJ etc. Not protecting your overpairs on wet boards when in position is also a leek. Not playing enough from late positions is also sth. that I noticed and not defending enough/opening from SB/BB. And why do you open KJo to 50 and than QJs to 75 in same position ? And missing set mining opportunity's with your 88. Honestly I think you need more work and improvement.

Hey man I am interested =)
Sept. 9, 2018 | 3:43 p.m.
I guess fold would be too much. But it hurts so fcking much to be in these spots. I know that I was many times in his shoes also but =) hell. So smaller raise PF and smaller cbet makes sense since board is very dry and I am also IP. Thanks man =)

So this is a hand I played recently. I 3bet AQo from BTN and get two callers. I bet flop and decide to check turn behind. Vi jams river for a small over bet. He is a unknown player never played with him. I am mainly concerned he has a boat here but since he is OOP I reckon he would be folding hands like 22/55 I am also sure that he would jam AK so I rule that out too. So what beats me is 22/55 and 43. Should I be folding on river in this spot? How does my bet sizing looks? Was it ok to check back turn? Thanks in advance ! Roy

Sorry man I missed that =)

I also think flating pf here has more merit. I would than definitely check on the flop to him and see what develops. As you played it I would use a larger 3bet size because you will be playing OOP with a hand that play's good postflop but is still not amazing. And I would also use larger bet size on flop.
Secondly I am not folding turns here.

Hello guys this is a hand that is giving me much taught lately. I think in general I played quite bad. I open AQs UTG and get jammed on river with a nut flush on a paired board. So my strain of taught goes like this.... I think flop play is fine maybe my bet size is a bit big? I absolutely hate that check on turn because it accomplishes nothing. If he had a Kxs or Jxs in his hand he would definitely bet the turn so I think he could only have a set of TT,66,77 and check it behind since the fourth diamond peeled off. I think I should bet the turn big and put him in a tough spot with a set he would have to either jam or fold and I am calling his shove here 100%. On the river thou things get tricky. Board pairs and now my nut flush is probably in bad shape. I hate my overbet because it again does nothing I only get jammed or called by better hands and folds from the hands I beat. I should probably check/call the river or bet small with intention to folding to a raise. What I find strange is that he left like 3bb behind when he raised =) idk maybe he bluffed me. What do you guys think about this hand? Correct me if I am wrong please.
What would be the optimal play here? Thank you in advance! Cheers. Roy

Thank you. I figured out that I have a problem with which hands should I defend when facing a 3bet from blinds. But I am slowly figuring it out. Any tips? Thanks in advance.
16K hands is really not much of a sample.
