It doesn't matter if he crushes you... it's just disrespectful towards the game to fold that from the cutoff. You've got to have heart and commitment to the game. And what automatically makes him a good player? And well the reason he thinks and plays differently is obviously cause he's the true definition of a nit. There were some questionable spots throughout the posts where yeah you could argue both ways and say one is solid and one is looser potentially worse, but this is such a no brainer open against anyone 100bbs deep. When I called people nits for playing 26/18 It was Sauce who agreed that it's pretty friggin tight. I won't name who but there is this other guy that keeps giving advice and in one hand he said, I'm considering not 4betting AA 110 bbs deep oop cause they're not premium enough AA75ss. You know what... Phil G and the gang are all super cool guys and all and far from nits, actually the opposite. But fuck this and what's it doing to the game. Hope you all choke on your double suited aces - I'm out of here.

I open this in CO if Phil Ivey is in the button, and we're 500bbs deep.

He can easily put you on a ten and try to barrel off, you can't fold turn ever.

If you know he doesn't vbet thinly and doesn't turn hands into bluffs easy fold.

It was 1 billionth hand on winamax and winner of hand gets like 70% of the 30K jackpot and loser 30% something like that. The first guy went all in and the other guy folded so he didn't play the hand at all. So the dude that shoved took all of the 30k and the other guy 0. =)

A turn check isn't any more capped than a donk is. Problem with the turn donk is, calling an all in isn't all that great as he get's in sets, 45 and AX with spades that crushes us. You don't rep AA or Ax of spades well, I'd expect you to bet with any As that 3bet pre on the flop for fold equity, unless he's a maniac and reps every flop our 3bet range doesn't hit. And what do you do on the river if called? What do you bluff? What do you value bet? c/r turn anything other than A K Q, maybe even Jack cause we can call and bluffcatch some rivers with it, seems fine with me.
I call for a runitonce pro's opinion on this hand.

Thin and pointless, as bluffing here is pretty uncommon lets say and that leaves you unprotected against barrels.

Oh... I see :)

Couple of things.. You gotta play at least 35-40k hands/month if you wanna be a pro. Also 15k goal for a year... a bit too low in my opinion. I mean you can make 2k/month at 5c/10c plo if you grind 6 hrs a day - 6 tables. As for the desire of making money fast and taking shots that will likely hurt you if they go wrong I can totally relate. Don't know if there's a cure. :) GL

I'm not gonna comment on c/r or donk but you should checkraise large on river. Only fish mincheckraise.

Keep it up ;)

Thanks mr Tom, so we should pot then?

Well the fact that I said it would be interesting if A was J isn't relevant, maybe we are both wrong or maybe Midori is in fact bluffing us for reasons unkown to man :-o

Why would midori be bluffing us? ;(

Seems like he's drawing pretty dead or has us beat so even though he checks back river we won't get value from worse very often and if we raise then he calls -> river?

Strange, I thought the turn was the Jc. Well since it's the ace, then no more KK that can bluff since we don't call turn with them. Probably calling the c/r is bad with any flush cause the only hand that is turned into a bluff is exactly A7Kc*. That + the fact that people almost never bluff here. So I was correct with my hunch.

I don't know if we would/should check flushes on river but I sure do it some.

Midori, did you change turn card with the ace or was I totally blind yesterday?

2) Villain I think should be value betting AJ+ mainly because it is very hard for hero to have BDF

No it isn't.

Hmm, so you won't bet/call even with high flushes?

I think so yeah.. I mean I never see people bluffing this way, like ever. Unless they're some giant whale and c/r for value 8 high flush.

1 - AhKcJh7s, KcKh5h7s - interesting if the turn came the ace and not the J, then I think bluffing river becomes really sketchy case you rep basically only AKc7* (this is only in theory, 99% probably won't turn hand into bluff on this river, I would but i'm playing 02 05c atm so it would probably be bad)

2 - No, flushes and J7 with a high club blocker.

3 - Depends if you're a total nutcase or not, probably won't call cause people never bluff in this spot? Idk

Standard wp imo

Yeah I thought of that but wouldn't he 3bet less then 40% if he was playing well also? I also flat pre, was a bit tired when I read this, didn't realize we were 200bbs deep, Well... that changes things and I don't know what the answer is. Seems like AX+ fdraw would naturally feel like betting this flop not checkraise... tough spot :P But checkraising aces seems so stupid on this flop given that 2/3 of them block the nutflushdraw so your opponents won't have what to bet the flop with and will checkback every straight draw, well unless ofc it's the aces without the Ah. It depends on the dynamic of the table and on what level the guy is thinking.

snap, if he has AA good for him. Folding against A+fdraw is a disaster, or AKJ5.

I don't think 34/26 has that many deuces in his utg range, double pairs and some 45s are you concern. Yeah i call river if i call turn. Me folding and him turning over 6579 would hurt me so bad.

True and i'm all for improving and battling tougher players but zoom HU doesn't seem the best place to learn HU... I mean no dynamic going on. Maybe i'm wrong, just a hunch.

You asked for the obvious :)) I don't think your stats are a good clue for your mistakes, they seem fine. Why even play this bs zoom hu? No fish to bumhunt?

I guess you could semibluff with AhQdQc9c,  but I don't think you would with that hand so you're pretty much raising to get it in on this flop. I don't think it's that bad. Just hope he has KKJT+fdraw and get it in.

You seem to lose monies oop :-?
