We don't have to protect x range vs passive people as they won't exploit it.

"few merged raises 65-43" - You open this EP ?
Depending how big is the sample, against wtsd 36 I just wouldn't bluff at all.
Oct. 17, 2018 | 2:34 p.m.
High WTSD = bet bet bet
Low wwsf = block bet / fold river easy
Not sure how decent fold to cb fits to high wtsd, but probable if he calls flop he has hard time folding turns and rivers = bomb turn.

- Pool doesn't bluff this kind of boards
- Pool thin valuebet fullhouses (as it's full house).
Would rather call bigger bet as then there should be less 77-33.

They all are winners for sure as otherwise they wouldn't be taken as coach.
Do they share all their knowledge? Idk.
But there should be decent amount of quality information to become few bb winner at low/mid stakes.

Hard to find "natural" bluffs already on turn.
If villain doesn't bet some Ax , 9x or underpair (what's very unlikely on this board textures imo) we have only 13% (need 29%). He need to bet all K8-K3s (what I gave him in 30% cc range) to have 29%. We should see how much implied odds we have.

One of those spots where population should be unbalanced and value heavy.
Oct. 16, 2018 | 11:12 a.m.
If I wanted to make example when to fold KK preflop 100bb, this case would fit in perfectly.
- Cold4bettor is huge nit
- Positions are early where ranges are super tight
- EP is deep = very reduced fq of him having AKs or QQ.
Even if I had 2 out of 3 would fold.

Depends how do you plan to work on your game, your current winrate, stakes etc
Problem with marking hands is that there is lot of different spots and you end up working little on 3bpot ip, EP vs BB srp ...
That dilute quality of improving and at the end you probable forgot most of stuff.
From my experience, and looks like your post is just at right timing as I just went into studying mode again, most effective way is:
BEFORE GRIND (take some time off just for study)
Choose spot (one you feel you have problem/uncomfortable or do DB review and see where your winrate looks bad, let's say SB vs BB srp).
Do some basic equity sharing for ranges on couple of boards (Axx rainbow, 986ss, KQ2ss...) using PIO/CREV/Flopzilla
Make some basic strategies for flop (example: CB whole range small size on Axx , check whole range on 986ss etc, polarized betting KQ2ss...)
Check population tendencies and see if some adjustment is needed to 3.
WHILE GRINDING (this is time where focus is mostly at applying premade strategies)
Focus on spot (play other spots as usually)
Review all hands after session from that spot only (filter)
Adjust strategies (if you're not sure check what coaches do in video, post hh...) - this could be added to BEFORE GRIND as part of #4.
AFTER GRIND (after 20-30k sample do some review)
Check if winrate improved for that spot. Variance factor is huge you can see if bottom of your open range winrate improved or check EV or just do another 20-30k hands if you think sample in unreliable.
Decide if you 're happy with this spot play or want to do more work (change basic strategies, focus more on turn and river play).
As you notice we don't mark hands. If we usually note a ton of hands that mean we have a lot of work to do so better to make some structure.
"Impactfull studying " from Paul Atwal is great video to check out for more info.

I think this is for MTT forum.
Oct. 16, 2018 | 10:30 a.m.
Put that range in equilab/flopzilla and see if that correlate with what you see at the tables.
Oct. 16, 2018 | 10:29 a.m.
Barreling is fine if we assume villain doesn't slowplay sets.
Oct. 16, 2018 | 10:28 a.m.
Easy fold.
Oct. 16, 2018 | 10:25 a.m.
1:30 Thoughts on explo sizing up turn size with our 2pair vs recreational? Draws and Ax should be always calling vs potsize or small overbet?
Oct. 15, 2018 | 12:48 p.m.
Well, he give us really good odds on turn but to call against 2p+ he need some bluffs. If we give 86s nad 64s with FDs (4 combos) that's enough to call if he raise 50% sets turn (50% is raising flop), 2pairs and KQdd KJdd. We have 22% against that.
Seems ok to call once then I guess, eventho my first intention was to fold turn.
River I give him 15 value combos so we need 4.5 bluffs. K pairing seems very unlikely that he would bluff. I would fold river.
Sept. 29, 2018 | 12:17 p.m.
Quite weird that we face raise here. Only value hands which look normal is K9s (1 combo) but that shouldn't be in 3bet range BNvsEP for someone who has 7% overall 3bet.
Stats are weird, you say he's agro, but his wwsf is 36% what is quite low. W$SD is low also, makes me think he ran bad orrr could be bluffing too much.
I vote for call and probable always see that 1 combo of K9s or KQs. Agree with jeff about x/c, esp if we know he's agro.
Sept. 29, 2018 | 12:03 p.m.
Question is can he show worse for value? Prob not with this river size.
Sept. 29, 2018 | 11:51 a.m.
He should have more 5x than you given your raise size as he should have all 65s 75s 95s 85s A5s 53s 54s A5o (37 combos).
You have all 54s (4), some 85s (2), 95s (2), sometimes 54o (6), maybe even 85o (6) given his 2x open.
Yeah, seems like spew against his flop sizing.
Sept. 28, 2018 | 9:55 a.m.
With that read would play tighter ranges pf (K8o is still fine).
Yeah, you have turn decision, vs agro opponents calling twice to fold river is burning money.
Sept. 21, 2018 | 11:20 a.m.
Agree with jeff except last sentence.
Shoving JJ isolate us to negative freeroll (vs QJs and Jx) as he 's never doing this with 6x. Would be happy to get to showdown as cheap as possible. Unfortunately, this is what zoom look likes.
Sept. 21, 2018 | 11:15 a.m.
Would do this with a solid read. Didn't have good experiences trying to fold out AJ-AK here.
Sept. 21, 2018 | 11:04 a.m.
River sizing makes me think it's less FH and more 98 hand type. But it also reduce bluffs. Vs value range on pic we have +EV call. A9dd is questionable but if he has all 98 we still have 24%. Would give random spew possibility.
Sept. 21, 2018 | 11:02 a.m.
What Jeff_ said + you know, it's nl25, hard to make people fold strong hands.
Sept. 21, 2018 | 10:47 a.m.
I think there are 2 options. 90% flop, ship river hoping to get call by 1 pair type or your flop sizing, underbet turn and ship riv.
Without sample I like to do country read. Against low standard countries would go with 2nd line as they fold more, esp vs bigger size.
Sept. 21, 2018 | 10:44 a.m.
This is what I gave him on the river: (~40% pf range)
Expecting stronger Qx to raise flop, mid one turn (esp with 2 FDs), so left couple weak ones.
Probable too wide 40% and not sure if he floats J7-5cc but also same for Q3-6s.
Hard to add some other bluffs except missed BDFD, esp when his river sizing looks valueish. What do you guys think?
Sept. 21, 2018 | 10:30 a.m.
I would xb flop as BTN should have very strong range here.
Sept. 20, 2018 | 10:51 a.m.
Fold river without read.
What do you expect is his flop raise range? And his turn bet range?
Sept. 20, 2018 | 10:49 a.m.
We need 34% and worst case is:
Sept. 20, 2018 | 10:44 a.m.
KQo folds as it's equity against your turn raise range (AQ, some JJ) is very low.
How are your 200 rush results and overall opinion about that pool?
Do you think it's doable to have 5bb as epiphany claims?
