A lot of people know that, but most don't know how to do it consistently or effectively. This week's article uses the concepts we've looked at in the past few weeks to help fix that.

http://www.flopturnriver.com/blogs/a...pponents-17759

After you read this article through a time or two, start looking in your own games for ways that you can exploit your opponents. Post your reads and hands where you played with a certain strategy in mind based on those reads to exploit your opponents. ]]> Beginners Circle spoonitnow http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/beginners-circle/%5bspoonitnow-strategy%5d-easy-guide-exploiting-your-opponents-195051.html http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/beginners-circle/10nl-vbetting-marginal-hands-195050.html?goto=newpost Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:09:12 GMT Can't get the FTR converter to work (as usual). I'll edit OP iffen I get it working.

Hand 1:

Early in the session. I think villain's probably a fish, but not much to go on.

(FWIW, original limper is a 60/15 l/f'er who donks when he has a hand and pretty much folds otherwise. He VPIPs a ton, but I'm only getting to the turn with him if he has a good hand. Other villain is a Spanish wannabe LAG. I probably even like opening more here to bloat the pot as much as I can against the LAG, and the fish really only plays hands he likes anyway, so I don't think he changes his range much based on sizing.)

http://weaktight.com/5894224

I think what I like most is $1.50 turn and check back this river. Now that I've kept his range so wide, surely there's still plenty to vbet? I can't think of almost any air in villain's range, so this is probably a good spot to bet small/fold?



Hand 2:

Villain is 33/26 over a small sample and has been 3b'ing up a storm. This is his first squeeze. I don't have a good feel for how he plays postflop yet. Original PFR is a nit.

http://weaktight.com/5894224

What I like about vbetting the turn is that it protects my hand against KQ type stuff, and I float in this spot a ton so it's great for balance. Problem is that there's about a PSB left, and shoving obviously seems terrible. As played, checking back twice seems like it makes my range easy to play against, but I'm not sure how much 9x he has (and if he calls with it), and other than that there's like TT/88/MAYBE 66 that I can get value against and there's a ton of QQ/KK/TPNK in his range.

I'm really close to the bottom of my range anyway, so maybe checking twice is fine.



Hand 3:

Villain is running 36/23 AFq: 38, ATS: 43, F23B: 33 and I've seen him call a resteal with K5s and play it like the nuts on a K-high flop. We have a dynamic going, and he thinks I'm pretty crazy and will find any excuse to call me. He's called two streets with 33 on A-high rainbow against me.

http://weaktight.com/5894247

Do we like the turn check? Surely it's a c/f.

As played, hero vbets like $2.80? ]]> Beginners Circle surviva316 http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/beginners-circle/10nl-vbetting-marginal-hands-195050.html http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/ftr-community/how-do-i-send-pm-195047.html?goto=newpost Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:43:59 GMT How do I send a PM on this cockeyed "poker forum"? ]]> FTR Community WiseOwl http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/ftr-community/how-do-i-send-pm-195047.html http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/short-handed-nl-holdem/50nl-aq-tptk-facing-flop-raise-turn-bet-195046.html?goto=newpost Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:00:35 GMT villain is 18/14 opening 43 on the button

felt his range was weak with him min raising on the button . Possibly should have made raise pre $4.Thought he could have lots of Ax, suited connectors, mid pocket pairs in his range. Thought with his flop raise he could have been trying to push me off any hands where i missed the flop , possibly where he had draws giving him equity i.e flush draws , 56 A4s A5s etc
Should I have shoved over on the flop? I didn't think so since his flush draws i was giving him roughly 50% equity and only hands i'm really crushing are KQ QT QJ. what to do on the turn , having shown weakness on the flop , couldn't see any point leading, but then again ...would bet folding $15 get him to fold his flush draws and gutshots but by then half an effective stack is in the middle and i'm pretty much committed. betting small lets him hit his draws cheaply or shove over. ]]> Keith http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/short-handed-nl-holdem/50nl-aq-tptk-facing-flop-raise-turn-bet-195046.html http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/tournament-poker/pokerstars-golden-sitgos-my-name-charlie-bucket-195045.html?goto=newpost Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:41:36 GMT Really disappointing but unsurprising to see the filchers at Pokerstars making a promotion which is totally biased towards higher rake games; I...
