Comment | guljo commented on ProView: Felipe Boianovsky Reviews Patodamina at $.10/$.25 Zoom NLHE

Hey Felipe,

I would love to see a video from you explaining stats and how to use them on the tables. With some examples of players with varying stats and our best adjustment and exploitment.

Hand History | guljo posted in NLHE: missplayed in every step

BB: BB: $20.86
UTG: UTG: $25.66
HJ: Hero: $36.10
CO: CO: $4.21
BN: BTN: $7.67
SB: SB: $28.39

SB: 28/20/14 62 hands
His SB 3b is 27%!
CO: 31/22/5

Preflop ($0.30) (6 Players)

Hero was dealt A T
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.60, CO calls $0.60, BTN folds, SB raises to $1.80, BB folds, Hero calls $1.20, CO folds

I think I should just 4b it here, I think I would take it down most of the, looking at SB 3b stats. I also dont mind getting it in with CO.

Flop ($4.50) 9 2 K (2 Players)

SB bets $1.80, Hero calls $1.80

It looks like a fold here, but I can represent a K easy here in which case raise is not bad. Initial plan was to call with backdoor and over card and try to steal it later.

Turn ($8.10) 8 (2 Players)

SB bets $2.80, Hero calls $2.80

I should just raise his small CB here with improved equity. The original idea was to call and realize my equity expecting him to give up on many rivers so we can show down our A high.

River ($13.70) 4 (2 Players)

SB bets $4.80, Hero folds

I was confused on this river, it is clearly a good barreling spot for him, and he bets small as well.
What do you think about bluff raising here? Or calling one more and bluff catching I need to be good 20% of the time here.

Hand History | guljo posted in NLHE: Facing a river donk AI from tricky opponent

BB: BB: $20.22
UTG: UTG: $24.97
HJ: MP: $52.15
CO: Hero: $20
BN: BTN: $35.01
SB: SB: $27.84

Villain was causing me a lot of problems in this session, he plays tricky and in my eyes very good.
stats: 21/18/9 1,3k hands

I have a note on him that pot sized bet was strong hand OTR, but he should be balancing this with bluffs.
Another note is a river push AI with a missed draw, but I wrote this note after this hand took place.

Preflop ($0.30) (6 Players)

Hero was dealt K A
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.60, Hero raises to $1.60, BTN folds, SB folds, BB folds, MP calls $1

HJ RFI 15%

Flop ($3.50) A 2 2 (2 Players)

MP checks, Hero bets $2.10, MP calls $2.10

Turn ($7.70) 5 (2 Players)

MP checks, Hero bets $4.62, MP calls $4.62

River ($16.94) 3 (2 Players)

MP bets $43.83, and is all in

I don't see many bluffs in his range here, only if he is turning JJ into bluff???? He can expect me check back on this river a lot. So if he made a flush with Axss it is best for him to donk. There is a small possibility he holds AA.
I need to be good more than 29%. Should I just close my eyes and click call and write a note later? I just hate it when he turns over the nuts and there is a voice in my head "I knew it"

I appreciate your thoughts.

BB: BB: $20.81
UTG: UTG: $30.65
HJ: MP: $20
CO: CO: $12.82
BN: Hero: $24.20
SB: SB: $21.39

V: 22/16/4,2 1,2k hands,
positionally unaware as his UTG open is 25%,
his fold to 3b is 44% in total on UTG 50%.
CB 74%

Preflop ($0.30) (6 Players)

Hero was dealt K A
UTG raises to $0.60, MP folds, CO folds, Hero calls $0.60, SB folds, BB folds

I don't mind call here in general, but against this opponent it should be a raise as he opens a lot UTG and doesn't fold much to 3b. There was also a squeeze happy opponent in BB (10%) who was probably the reason why I called.

Flop ($1.50) 4 9 7 (2 Players)

UTG bets $1.05, Hero calls $1.05

Turn ($3.60) 8 (2 Players)

UTG bets $2.52, Hero raises to $6.69, UTG calls $4.17

I think that this board hits my range much more than his, I have all sets and sometimes TJs. I think this should work more than 50%

River ($16.98) 7 (2 Players)

UTG checks, Hero bets $15.86, and is all in

Possibility of me having a set is somewhat reduced by this river, but I could be raising the turn with clubs as well. I think he should fold his OPs here as well. But there is a saying "never assume intelligence."
It is hard to think of his calling range here, I think that he should shove his made hands as the board is this drawy. Draws with extra equity probably call and they should be folding to this river a lot, except clubs obviously.

If I draw a line here I actually like this play but think I should do it with hands that have some equity so I could improve on this river.

I appreciate your thoughts!

Have been having wars with this regular, he seems to be good and tricky player.

Flop ($2.00) T 5 9 (3 Players)

SB checks, MP bets $1.60, Hero calls $1.60, SB folds

Turn ($5.20) T (2 Players)

MP checks, Hero checks

Perhaps I should just bet here, but decided to check behind as I might do with trips as well. Also taking a free card with 2 overs seems like a good idea.

River ($5.20) 4 (2 Players)

MP bets $5.60, Hero raises to $16.80

Comment | guljo commented on K6s on BB 50NL Zoom 6Max

I think he has more Qs in his range, AQ, KQs, QJs maybe QTs sometimes.

Comment | guljo commented on NL20 SBvsBB

You think flop call is ok? I have something like 50% equity against 12% range and being OOP it doesnt seem like a good play.

Comment | guljo commented on K6s on BB 50NL Zoom 6Max

We don't have enough info on the player. But as Eddie said it makes not much sense to value raise the flop, in his shoes it is much better to call behind with his strong holdings and leave your bluffs in. So yeah as this play doesn't make much sense from thinking opponent I think we have some FE here and when called a decent equity. But we are basically shooting in the dark as we have no real info on the villain, I would just fold this PF and wait for more hands to make plays like this.

UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds, BTN folds, Hero raises to $0.60, BB raises to $1.80, Hero calls $1.20

I usually don't call 3b OOP, but saw some pros doing it in a video so under an influence I did call here. The reason was because of villain high 3b and wide range. I still think KQo is not good enough and it was a clear mistake to call here, I think this is best: fold>4b bluff>call.

Flop ($3.90) 5 Q 2 (2 Players)

Hero checks, BB bets $2.16, Hero calls $2.16

Have a strong hand and some backdoor equity so x/c is standard play here.

Turn ($8.22) 6 (2 Players)

Hero checks, BB bets $6.33, Hero raises to $16.04, and is all in

Comment | guljo commented on Line check?

Can you explain your bet sizing please, I am suprised to see you betting less than 1/2 pot on all streets. What is the pourpuse for this?

Comment | guljo commented on 77-JJ and suited broadways vs wide 3bet OOP

Imho it really depends on his 5b% and fold to 4b%. In general I would be 4b-ing a lot here with many AQs/AQo, AJs, ATs, not always but frequently. With JJ I would 4b as well and call AI depending on his 5b/F4b stats. Other holdings I would just fold. I don't like playing OOP especially when calling 3b.

Comment | guljo commented on 100zoom - TPTK squeezed pot

I would just 4b this PF, BB is bluffing a bunch and btn doesn't hold a monster often, so we can just take it down here and avoid situations like this.

Like played, I think both players would be slow playing a lot on this board. 9T, 88, 77, are possible for both players. Of course KJs, QJs is possible but we block this. I think BTN doesnt float that much here since BB can CR. BBs check/call is suspicious as well, he is getting good price for many holdings so I guess he has many hands with backdoor equity but he can be trapping as well and waiting to CR turn. I think check here is best and see what they do, but I would lean towards folding.

Can you share some links about Krantz?

Comment | guljo commented on 20NL double OOP donk

I think my 3b range looks something like JJ+, AKs, A9s-A2s, AKo, I dont add more bluffs as I think there is a high possibility that the fish might just push AI.

March 7, 2014 | 10:06 p.m.

Hand History | guljo posted in NLHE: 20NL double OOP donk

BB: BB: $8
UTG: UTG: $20
HJ: MP: $5.93
CO: CO: $22.04
BN: Hero: $23.71
SB: SB: $47.63

V: 28/20, steal from CO 35%, fold to 3b on CO: 57(7)
I was 3b-ing him quite a lot this session. Just one hand before he donked with MP and x/c turn.

Preflop ($0.30) (6 Players)

Hero was dealt K K
UTG folds, MP calls $0.20, CO raises to $0.60, Hero raises to $1.80, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, CO calls $1.20

Flop ($4.10) A Q 6 (2 Players)

CO bets $3, Hero calls $3

I think this a standard call.

Turn ($10.10) 5 (2 Players)

CO bets $7.40

He bets again and quite strong, I dont think he is bluffing here, AQ comes to mind, and we cant exclude AA, QQ, 66 as well.

What do you guys think?

thanks!
