pokerfan asks for some thoughts about Hero's range in a 50nl hand in our Full Ring NL Hold'em Forum.I havent played much recently and been pretty busy with other things. villian is 31/20/2.2 with 4% 3bet over 100 hands. BT is a TAG reg. On a previous hand, villian bets small 3 streets with TT as pfr on 33836 board when checked to and owns me. This tme around, the pot odds is good but his range on the turn seems pretty strong 3 way. Honestly, I hate to fold the top of my range vs a loose player in a big pot especially when these players tend to overestimate their hand strength a lot. No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com SB ($62.55) BB ($28.35) UTG ($50) UTG+1 ($107) MP1 ($74.35) Hero (MP2) ($50) MP3 ($29.25) CO ($52.10) Button ($45) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Ad, Ah 3 folds, Hero bets $2, 2 folds, Button calls $2, SB calls $1.75, 1 fold Flop: ($6.50) 8d, 6h, Kc (3 players) SB checks, Hero bets $4.50, Button calls $4.50, SB calls $4.50 Turn: ($20) 9c (3 players) SB checks, Hero bets $13, 1 fold, SB raises $56.05 (All-In), Hero ? Raoni_Poker: This hand is sick... His overcall on the flop is strong...I wonder if he could be drawing to something here (unlikely). He would certainly not overcall 3 handed and push after your second barrel with air (unless he is tilted or something). 66 and 88 makes sense. With KK he would have raised PF. I dont think a 99 would over call the flop bet and I dont think he has a made straight on the turn (T7, 75). Some flush draws can be in his range, but he had to hit the flop somehow to overcall the flop bet as a runner-runner draw is very weak. A8cc, A6cc...with 86cc he would probably check raise the flop. K9 is a possibility (he is a loose player and he got good odds to call PF) and with this hand he is scared of many river cards (paired boards or clubs). I would instinctively fold this because his range seems to be ahead of your hand. badgers: I would fold and I don't think it's particularly close. Why do you think this is the top of your range? pokerfan: vs a loose aggressive 30/20 50nl player,no? daven: first response was snap-fold, but on second glance I think his range is AK and hands that beat you, i don't think you have odds for the call quite cos he won't play AK like this pre-flop often enough. He rarely has 77 or KQ here make your hand 66 and this becomes a call badgers: over only 100 hands.. This could very easily be a reg with those stats over this sample. Also if he's a fish he probably think you have AK because you raised preflop ldo. Click here to read more from this topic in our Poker Forum. Poker News | durrrr vs jungleman12 � Let the Trash Talk Begin 
The infamous durrrr challenge looks set to truly get underway once again. Tom �durrrr� Dwan and Patrik Antonius have been battling it out on the online felt for over a year now, but very sporadically and never for a sustained period of time. Jungleman12 recently announced he was going to take on durrrr, and the two look like they�re going to start squaring off in the next few days, hopefully breathing new life into the challenge.The durrrr challenge was laid down by Tom �durrrr� Dwan to any and all players except for Phil Galfond, and offers any acceptors a shot at millions. 50,000 hands of online heads-up No Limit Hold�Em or Pot Limit Omaha must be played on four tables simultaneously, at stakes of $200/$400 or higher. If, at the end of the 50,000 hands, Dwan is up by so little as a dollar, he receives an additional $500,000. However, if the challenger holds the lead then Dwan must ship him a staggering $1.5 Million on top of his winnings. Thus far despite a number of interested parties the only person to play against Dwan is Patrik Antonius, and after 40,000 hands the Finnish pro is down over $2 Million.

There are a few moments in a poker player�s career than will define their future. Your inevitable first downswing, that �a-ha!� moment, and moving up in stakes for the first time. Being able to move up to bigger and better games will be crucial in your advancement as a poker player. If you cannot raise the level of your play to excel at higher levels you will be stuck grinding away small-stakes games forever. There are a few ways to guarantee the move up will be a positive and successful one. Maintaining proper bankroll management, studying and learning from your mistakes, and playing with the proper mindset are all keys to taking the next step in your poker career. The biggest reasons most �shots� fail is players attempt them before their bankrolls are ready. Common variance has destroyed many bankrolls this way as players run poorly and lose twice as quickly as they would at lower stakes. Standard poker bankroll protocol states players need 20 buy-ins for cash games, 50 for SNGs, and 100 for multi-table tournaments. These numbers used to be considered conservative but as players have researched more about variance they have come to find the opposite is true. These numbers, especially when applied to players who mass multi-table, are actually on the aggressive side. In today�s game a 50/100/200 buy-in rule is better than the 20/50/100 once recommended by most. Click here to read more from this article.
