Its fine. If you were heads up on the flop size should be bigger in nl5. But with so many villains I think sizing is ok.

Best of luck. It is more difficult than 10 years ago, but still doable.

lol

I think check call is std here. Sometimes I wonder if your line is just best against some kind of players.

You mean 3betting the flop? Isn't this way ahead / way behind?

I think he can have sets and AK for value, given the action on previous streets. Btw sizing on the flop is not a mistake.

Obviously few hands beat you. He isnt supposed to have 6x in his range. But once you bet call that flop he needs to be really agro to continue bluffing.

I once got an email from ps giving me a warning for use of external software. I was just messing around with equilab and not even seated on tables.

what are your pot odds, and whats your equity against a range of pp and fd. once they all fold you might be getting the right odds.

i dont think hes shoving with 2pairs plus.

pls convert hand

You might as well shove any two OTT. It's cool it worked but shouldn't you do that with more equity?

Thank you

What I meant is if you are going to fold to the jam wouldn't it be better to do that with AJ or A5, for example? I mean, it's a difficult spot, we don't want to cold call but once we 4bet my automatic response is calling the shove, what Im realising here is that maybe that's a mistake.

On the other hand, we have 85 hands on the player, I don't think we can know anything reliable about his 5bet shoving range with 85 hands.

I'd defend wide because we have position on the fish, but not that wide. You can also sqz a lot expecting the reg to fold and play vs the fish with initiative.

We you're trying to post a hand you need to select Hand History instead of Topic, so that it converts the hand and we can read it easily.

Coaching is expensive. I personally don't think it is necessary to get to nl50.

We all are.

The call OTT is bad in my opinion. Your hand might be dead in a multiway pot, you don't close the action, when you hit it's difficult to get paid and you don't have great equity with one street to come.

I've seen people shove hands like 76 here or 66, 55, but not this deep. Personally don't like the 4bet, but don't get the advice of folding.

Can't we at least flat with 99-JJ? If we are folding everything but AK, QQ+ that should be exploitable.

I'm not folding, we are bluffing with AK then when we 4bet. I had to do the math and it seems you guys are right.

Correct me if I'm wrong, pot is $13 and we have to call $7.7, so we need 59% equity to break even. Against AK, JJ+ we have just 40%. Is that the way it works, or do we need to consider the final pot size? If so, it's a clear call against that range.

I think it depends on villain type. If he's a reg I don't want to play OOP vs a strong range with a weak one, so I fold a lot of hands.

If you think you have a considerable skill advantage against him or that his range is very loose for UTG, then more calls should be profitable.

I usually only call the nits who only have QQ+, that way I know if a set comes it's very likely we play for stacks.

Shoving just seems like you have a FD. Don't think you would be shoving if you had a value hand.

I think the fold pre depends on the freq in which the blind is 3betting us. I think we are supposed to be calling with a percentage of our range and since we have a very wide one, most places I've seen recommend calling all pocket pairs and suited broadways.

However, I find it really difficult to play with a small pocket pairs even IP. Sinces he's in the BB he shouldn't be 3betting as much as the SB, so I'd probably just fold and rather call with something with more playability such as 9Ts.

Lol sorry

What kind of player is villain?

You can use the learning paths for more structure.

In my experience overbets are very rarely bluffs in these limits.

I don't think we should be afraid of being dead. If he's agressive, what do you think about XR flop?
