reg tables only so far, just out of preference

interesting hand, with a super wet flop texture. while i do think changing your bet sizing on the flop and turn would have cost you less, recognize this was the dream runout for your opponent, and the absolute worst for you. turn and river go brick brick you win here a lot

Interesting to see this post. I live in Ontario and GG is the only site that got a license with the new laws. i played on GG for the first 5 months of poker and switched to stars like a month ago and started to win exponentially more. Maybe it was run good, i was putting in a lot of work on the game so maybe it was that, maybe it was luck, i don't know but at 5Nl and 10NL stars players were considerably worse than GG.

I do see this quite a bit as well, most of the time i just overfold with marginal hands and 4bet the premium hands. Leaning less towards defending against these players and more to the players who have a better 3betting strat.

This is very interesting, and i think i understand the spreadsheet. You took all the hands that UTG would open and found all the combos (cards collum) and then figured out what percentages make up suited, pocket, unsuited ect. so the boards that hit the high percentage cards for either range, would create the range advantage?
this makes sense and is something that i might set up for other common spots.

What is the best way to figure out what boards you should be betting you're entire range on, vs. the ones where you want to check?

I just found a program called CrossOver and use it to run equilab perfectly fine. It says it can run any .exe file so i would assume piosolver is no different. i think it costs around $60

Cant reply directly to Shaun but i hope you see this. Would you say that every player pool, level, stake level ect. weaker players or even just players in general will have tendencies? If that was not clear ill give an example (not saying that it is true) "players at 5NL play looser preflop and dont cbet enough" therefore i am going to play tighter than i would at other stakes and make the generalization about the whole pool? is this something that could be an effective strategy?

It seems like i should be working on building post flop ranges for common spots, can you direct me to where the best place is to learn about this kind of stuff?

If by flat calling you are referring to pre-flop, i only play 6max and use 3bet/fold play, if you're talking about flatting bets on the flop as opposed to raising them i can start to see how choosing to play other strong hands as well as flush draws in a similar way to create a mixed strategy to not make it obvious as to what you are holding.

I know virtually nothing about constructing post flop ranges and how they play but seem like the next thing to learn

Mixed strategy is understandable, but when you refer to "constructing ranges", im thinking you mean on flop, turn and river, what exactly does this look like? i understand constructing preflop ranges and building them around position (i didn't make my own i have used charts online) but here it sounds like you refer to the later streets. How exactly does this work? even if you link to a video or something that is fine, sorry if this is a bit of a convoluted question

This was a great answer, thanks. I have not heard of GTO+ until this post but it seems to be a more affordable option than others and i think i'll check it out.

This was a great response. Have not really thought about trying to figure out how and why a situation is solved the way it is. Will look into this more.

What would the standard turn bet sizing be here? Getting raised would not be the worst thing so would a smaller size be better?

Im playing 5 and 10NL and sorta stuck any chance you have a group or know of one? thanks.

Hey there, im looking to try and replicate a similar situation to what you did, any chance we could PM or talk somewhere? Thanks

This was a great reply, thanks. Pokertracker4 the go to for everyone these days?
