clairvoyant

Hi!

So about that mental problem. I have had a little 7 buy-in downswing in 4k hands and last 1k of hands has been break-even. I know that downswing isn't big and it wouldn't affect me if it would have been just bad beats. Maybe I'm too hard on myself because my own bad plays affects me too much. On that downswing I have been calling or raising all-in too easily with TPTK or overcards vs. fish and every time I have bumped to a turned straight or flopped 2pair or something..

But about this hand.. I wanted just to check that my downswing haven't affected me TOO much with these overpairs. The villain is quite aggressive (postflop) fish. 40 hand from him with stats of 38/0. Postflop aggression 60% (streets 40%/82/67%, OTR sample of 9) and usually betting 50% PSB. Only seen one hand OTR that was rivered straight and he bet 75% PSB.

So pretty std preflop. Maybe could have had raised a bit bigger like to 4,5-5bb.

* Dealing flop * [ 4s, 6h, Qc ] [Pot: $0.80]
VILLAIN bets [$0.40]
HERO calls [$0.40]

Dry flop so hoped that he has Qx and I was planning to get aggressive OTT. Thought that there wont be many bad cards for me. Now when I think about it maybe I should just raise straightforward vs. fish and hope that he will call with TP and try to commit him to the pot OTT. If I raise here and he comes over the top I think I'm pretty committed to call vs. fish though that I block TPTK, right? He ether has TP with good/weak kicker or a set..

* Dealing turn * [ 2h ] [Pot: $1.60]
VILLAIN bets [$0.40]
HERO raises [$2]
VILLAIN calls [$1.60]

Didn't like his sizing OTT. Hoped that he would have bet the at least the same 50% PSB so I could sized my raise bigger. I hoped that he would think my big raise here is a bluff (induced by his small bet) and he would peel with Qx and then check river. He called quite quickly. And I had a thought in the back of my mind that is he slowing with a set? (small bet+big call) At this point I planned to value shove OTR if checked to on almost any river card. Thought that K would be the least favorite card to come.

* Dealing river * [ Jh ] [Pot: $5.60]
SB bets all-in [$3.27]
HERO folds

And then OTR he did this lightning fast shove.. damn. If the pot have had been like $1 bigger I think I would have cry called this. But he never has here Qx (no suited hearts)? I would put my money on a 44/66 or Qhxh..

What are your thoughts about this play?

Hi!

Didn't get the hand converter to work.. again.. sorry for that.
I have to admit that I was little bit tilted before and on this hand. Should've stop the session already.

Both players quite unknown. Saw five hands on the table before this hand and CO was raising all hands preflop and playing big pots with specutalive hands like K6o. He for sure was fishy. For HJ I didn't have any reads.

So at this poin I just called (maybe too loose) because wanted to keep pot small and my hand wasn't that strong.

I remember thinking about raising (looking to steal/go all-in) on the flop. If we raise to like 4$ we are definetely commited to call if CO shoves back. I think I got greedy and wanted to keep HJ on the pot too. At this poin CO might have almost any Kx, KQ, set or draw. I think there is not much total air on this board in his range. HJ might mostly have draws here.

* Dealing turn * [ 2d ] [Pot: $6.16]
HJ checks

When Turn comes a blank and CO stops betting I thought that he might have that weak K most of the time (no need to slow down with set or 2pair when everybody calls on flop and if he wants to get all-in at the end of the hand he has to overbet river?).

Stacks were kind of awkward so I had to bet +50% PSB and sigh-call vs. shove or just shove my self. I could've just check-back also and get a free card but thought that I have some fold equity and on the river I couldn't steal the pot anymore if it bricks.

What do you think?

HI! Firstly sorry for this hand format (weaktight and this forum wont support HM2 format?).

What are your thoughts about this hand?

Some background: SB was fairly unknown (but propably fishy, no full stack + 47/0 stats (10 hands))
BB was aggressive fish (59/44/1,3 (135 hands)) and he was cooking food background (this was camera-table)

For some reason I my stack was not auto-filled after last hand.

SB x-r was sized quite big. So big that it looks like little bluffy right? BB was cooking and came to computer when it was his turn and just clicked call right away and went back to cook.

My shove was kind of semi-bluff/value (dont think that I have much FE). I thought that I will get good enough odds to draw and my aces could even be my outs too. At least if BB will also call the shove. If BB would not have called that X-R it would have been fold for me and if the X-R would have been smaller (like under a PSB) it propably would have been call. Right?

After the hand I did the math and at worst I only have 21% eq (SB has a SET, BB has a FD) so thats not good.
But then I thought it this way that what if BB folds I have 37% eq vs. SB c-range (overvalued overpairs JJ/QQ and flopped sets + deadmoney on pot from BB) and if BB calls with FD or something weird Im at least a favorite to win about 70bb sidepot.

Trying not to be result oriented, but happened to have 41% eq at this hand.

And if you didnt already notice im a quite new to poker and I'd like to hear every kind of advice from sizing and putting villains on ranges (tho fish are quite hard to put on ranges..) etc.
Thanks!
