I like playing a little looser than some in this spot. Given we have direct position on cl though, I probably stick it in w/ AK/JJ+. If we we didn't have position I'd probably open that to TT+ AQ+. The advantage we gain when we double is pretty significant, which is why I think people play too tight in these spots. You have the best seat at the table, so we can look for better spots.

*sorry accident.... described as "perfectly unexploitable." But there's not perfect poker, if so we wouldn't play it.

I mean there is a lot of mathematical developments in the past decade that can be

*$20 9-man that is

I used to grind the $20's on FT for 17% ROI. BF happened, nowhere near the player I used to be, but I know what it takes to succeed (relentless study and application). Just started grinding sng's again last week. Ran about $200 over EV and crushed, then ran $400 under in some disgusting beats, not complaining I'll take my equity. Anyway, would be great to study and verbalize what some of the more important conclusions. I feel like I retain more information by stating it than I do consuming it. Also, having someone to hold you accountable (while having mutual respect and looking for the value in someone's play you disagree with) seems like it would help even more.

What site is this?

As long as you're not relying on it for income. I would look at your ROI and rakeback opportunities though. If you can do significantly better (through rakeback) you may want to grind that up to a couple hundred so you can put in mass volume.

If V cbets heavy why aren't we c/r the flop? I'm fine either way pre. As played I think we actually have more info about villian's range than had he c/r and allowed him to simply trap. I don't think anyone is playing an overpair this way, he could have been denying equity with AT or AA on the flop I suppose, but this looks like a set or flush imo. Very tough spot. There's a nitty side of me that wants to fold but I probably flat and c/c unpaired river. Stupid spot

Live 4b are much tighter, mostly because the 3b are larger (in this case 14bb) but also because they tend to play more straightforward in large pots. I would think this can QQ+/AK, where there are 6 hand combos that dominate us, 9 we are chopping with, and 6 we are flipping against. However, AK/QQ 4b frequency is not going to be 100%, if at all.

Flat seems awful. If we are ahead and outflop V he may shut down. If we miss which we typically will are we folding to his cbet jam? If so now we are losing to AK.

I think it's a fold unless we can add JJ to his range or deduce he is 4b AK/QQ with near the same frequency as AA/KK. He could also spazz here with something like T9s and his bet sizing was meant to commit himself but we're not going see that live very often.

The one variable that would make it a clear jam is if V will fold some of his AK/QQ to our 5b jam. I doubt that is the case though given his bet sizing.

Dependant on table dynamics, if there are a lot of high vpip players at the table I like folding. If it's a nitty or average table probably open fold to everyone but short stack

Think it's played correct, pop the turn a little higher with the combo draw, especially this deep.

I thought I recognized this post from 2+2 lol. Tough spot probably icm fold but if we double here we swap stacks with cl. I think if payout structure is a little steeper it's a call.
