villian is 30/3/3 over 30 or so

villian always minbets with any part of the board.

on the turn I have tons of outs as it looks like he's got Qx, 9T,maybe 2 pair or FD

Shove? Call? raise?

Donachello will become famous soon enough

He's short stacked so you have to think about your bet sizing here. I'm probably opting for raising the flop and shoving the turn. Or calling flop and shoving the turn. You have plenty of outs and if you have any fold equity it should be +EV. But uh... wtf @ the range you gave him. He's raising 3% of hands so I'm pretty sure T9 is not in it. Looks like KQ, AQ, QJ to me.

dranger7070 has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Yea this looks like Jx, Qx, FD+OESD or FD+GSSD or something along those lines. He probably folds Jx to a shove, and obviously is calling with all Qx hands and his combo draws.

I like how you've played the hand so far, now shove the turn and bink one of your 14 outs or be good vs worse FD without improving. You should have plenty of fold equity given we think he's folding Jx and maybe a couple draws + our pot equity = +EVs

Interesting op Sasquatch.
Regarding variance garbage, I always end up throwing in the towel at cash games and return to tourneys/sngs where I can take a beat or two and still win the day, but that's my sissy side (or my winning obsessed side, not sure which).
Glad that april fools post was a sham - didn't catch it since I was reading it a few days late.

About the first hand, this guy isn't a regular short stacker then, since you say he'll shove 100bb on the river? In that case, why is he sitting with 17bbs pre??? Either way, you got a piece of the flop, I just shove right there. If he's got a strong Q or overpair, ah well, think it's still +EV since the pot is so much of his stack. Hadn't run it in stove, but that's what my gut says anyways.

Above hand. Ace hit river and I figured I was still good but vllian had top of Qx range. At least he was a shorty.

@Kijjo
I started off playing SnGs and got tired of bubbling out so I made a slow switch to cash. When I play in the FTR500 or FTR 300 I usually make money at cash games I'm playing at the same time. The HU tourney is a different story.

I was down 6 BIs for April for the first week or so but after I cleared my $50 bonus things are improving so the BR is at about $600 again.

I've been opening up more in position (with small SC and such) but I just end up spewing. My win rate usually stays fairly steady if I just play fit or fold.

Played 10NL afterwards for a couple of hours and was up 5 BIs. Played mostly 20-50bb and 50bb min games.

Speaking of tables, at 5NL the only tables I see listed are 250bb. I've checked my game filter and the only way I can get ANY games to show up is to check the "Other" box under Buy-In.

Yes PlayToWin, 2nl/5nl are unchanged by the new BI structure. It's still the same as before on those. The changes take place at 10nl+.

I guess this is mostly true, but the max buyin used to be 200bb instead of 250bb. There are lots more big stacks playing now.

I have a theory players are dropping stakes. Not sure if it's true how far reaching it is but it's possible 10NL players under the old system are infiltrating those games.

My theory is that players are moving up in stakes for certain tables.

In most of the 20-50bb games the table vpip was > 30 and sometimes > 40
I have tons of notes on tons of players at 10NL and at most of these tables I have no notes or hands.

The 100-250bb tables seem to have more regs and a couple of fish. I found one of these tables last night with 6 regs and 3 players with >65 vpip with one of those playing 85 vpip.

My theory is the regs are playing 40-100bb and 100-250bb tables and the 20-50bb tables come from lower limit players.

Fish buy in for whatever they want to buy in for. A lot just put $50 or whatever on the site and figure they want to play $10 or $20 at a time and sit where they can buy in for that amount. That doesn't mean they will sit at a $10NL table but where the minimum is $10 to buy in but people have bigger stacks they can gamble and win. If it's still a 20-50BB table then so be it. All this does is make the shorties get a ton of the fish alone. The hope was to eliminate the shorties by having 35bb min buy ins but they don't have to change their game, they still have tables to play at, just with less 100bb regs. you've lost the short buy in fish that double and triple up and stay with near full stacks

PF you could raise more to like 2.50, flop definitely raise more to like $4.50-5. After that just get the money in however you want.

BR at $680 (was up to $705 but I had a shitty day on Tuesday)

To move up to 25NL I need to:

Win 30 BIs at 10NL FR-I've won 24 BIs
Have at least 30 BI for 25NL

I should be getting a milestone bonus in about 400 fpps. So by the time I get to winning 30 BIs at 10NL I should get the bonus which will give me a couple more BIs as a cushion at 25 NL.

BTW, I turn 49 today so the plan is...

Happy birfday mate.. Oh and have you tried the 25NL 20-45bb 6 max tables. Its just like being back at 10nl except for the bigger blinds. Idiots will stack off with bottom pair.

10NL at PS is really going down in quality. Most of the games with a vpip of >30 are all 20-50bb tables (with mostly 20bb stacks) with maybe one 100-250bb table. The 40-100bb games are essentially gone. I feel like I'm playing 5NL again.

I moved up last night to 25NL to play a couple of tables. I played a 20-50bb table and a 40-100bb table. The 20-50 table was like a 10NL table and was very loose with vpip of abut 35. The 40-100 table was very tight. Only played 100 hands or so before I quit.

I have about $710 in the BR as I forgot where the fold button was for the last couple of nights and the short stackers are busting my AA and KK hands with crap like K8o and one villian shoved pf with 27s.

I'm ready to move up to 25NL because I'm tired of playing "virtual 5NL" at 10NL. Maybe the 20-50bb tables at 25NL will feel more like 10NL.

I'm going to wait until I clear the milestone bonus. I only have about 140 fpp before I get $50 bonus. I would probably get it faster playing 20-50bb tables at 25NL. Hmmm

Yes, I've come to the conclusion that the 20bb to 50bb game has replaced the 20bb to 100bb game. The 40bb to 100bb game has replaced the 50bb to 100bb game (which imo sucked then and sucks now). The deep tables are a nice novelty if you are lucky enough to get a fish to sit down and then lucky enough to get him to stack off deep and light. But, you can leak a lot of money waiting for those implied odds to kick in not to mention the coolers or tough regs you're going to battle more frequently before the delicious fish finally comes along. It's pretty disappointing, but not sure what else we can do except trudge on. Don't be tempted to move up, though, until you have the full bankroll. 1/2 stack $25NL is still $25NL, not $10NL. But, there will be more fish by and large on the 1/2 stack tables.

not sure if i entirely agree with this. Bankroll management in no limit is typically described in terms of buyins (not blind size). Unless 50bb is higher variance than 100bb then you're rolled for 50nl -20-50bb with bankroll $750 (assuming a 30buyin rule)

don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit

Agree with daven, your BR should be determined by your BI size, not the size of the bb. If he's playing 20-50bb games at 10nl, he could theoretically have a 5nl BR since he's only buying in for $5.

Woohoo. I can completely skip over 25NL and play 50NL at 20-50bb tables once I get $750.

Naaa. I don't think so.

So i got my $50 bonus and I've been playing some 25NL on mostly 20-50bb tables. The 20-50bb tables are looser than the 10NL 20-50bb tables. I'm finding many many ables with vpip > 35. As usual I'm running bad starting out but I'll get past it. I tend to run bad at the first of the month anyway for some reason.

whine
AA set < Ace high straight when 88% vpip villian shoved GS on flop
QQ set < straight when 70% vpip villian shoved GS on flop. hmm, I see a pattern here
KK< AT when villian shoved on Txx board and hit river A
Several other hands when I had TPTK and board was too wet to continue or I couldn't hit >10 outs
/whine

I plan on staying at 25NL until BR is $350 or so.

It would be nice to run good when moving up for a change. Losing 24BIs at FT at the end of last year in about 20k hands just about did me in for good.

I started off bad losing 8 BIs but it was mostly hands like the ones I mentioned above so meh. I've recoved those BIs and am back to even.

Here are a few where I had trouble recently. These hands were not part of the 8 BIs lost

Hand 1

Villian is 21/12/4.2 over 140 hands 67% fold to cbet
Flop I figured FD , 99+ but not KK or AA as he's pretty aggro, AK.
Min raise on turn-protecting a set or str8? A3s? I was actually valuebetting this street as I figured he'd 3bet QQ+.
I've folding alot to raises when I have TP type of hands but

Hand 3

I expected sb and bb to fold the open. UTG+1 was 34/5/1.5 so I was hoping for a set. I planned to try to get to sd if I missed set. On turn I figured no one was interested in taking the pot so I took a stab at it as I had the initiative and would look like a value bet as I was pf raiser. I would fold to a raise. Not sure what I would have done on river if I had gotten a call.

Hand 1: I call turn, call blank river (no spade, diamond, 3, A, etc)

Hand 2: I call the river as played, you're pot odds are too good and you're hand wtf pwns his range. You're not crushed when he donk/calls. He's doing this with a lot of one spade hands that want to see a turn, or pair + spade.

Hand 3: Given you think that the blinds will fold a decent portion (were they nitty in the blinds?), and UTG+1 is fishy (any postflop reads? fold to cbet etc would be good to have) isolating here is probably fine. If the fish can't fold to cbets and there's no one that's extremely aggro I don't hate a limp, but a raise is probably better regardless. Betting the turn is meh, I don't hate it, I don't love it. Someone might have 5x and not feel like folding, or have a random 7 or 3 and not fold but its probably fine since you're protecting what equity you have against the chance that one of these guys binks a pair on the river, but it seems like it sucks betting into 3 ppl on a drawy board with a hand that has SOME showdown value.

Hand 4: KQ, KJs, AK, KTs (maybe) all call your 3bet preflop (obviously other hands, but its not limited to AK by any means). As well as other random stuff. I fold the turn almost always though. You're so crushed once he bets here imo.

Hand 5: The funny thing is, I used to c/minraise cbets vs TAGs a lot when I was playing 10nl and it was insanely profitable since they almost always folded without TP+, so once they call/raise I can give up. I'd take a note that this guy is probably someone who does this a decent bit and tend to just flat these and let him bet into me. Without that note, hand is definitely played fine since QT, hearts, Kx, and probably some Jx are all calling your 3bet.

Hand 6: lol nh. A 24/3 is going to be calling 3bets ridiculously wide, so you can 3bet the shit out of them for value with AQ, KQ easily, and obviously vs this guy you can go even wider. As played the hand is obviously fine.

What's the turn raise telling me? He has FD? When he didn't fold to cbet (67% fold to cbet) I figured he had a hand. I was trying to get to sd cheap. I was scratching my hand on the turn. Does he have a hand and he's protecting it or he's on a draw or ???

This is what I figured too. But even bad players get good hands sometimes. He could have gotten alot more value out of his As3s hand so I figured I got off good not losing a ton here.

I figured as much so I folded. This fold bugged me since this was the only time I got AA the entire session. The AA below is from a different session.

So what's the best way to play this one?

This one caused some tilt as it was one of the early hands in the session. I took a break though and came back ok.

Hand 1: Balls, missed the fold to cbet stat. He can have damn near any PP (it doesn't have to be 99+, the 8 might have scared his 66/77 and he's raising just because) A8, K8 (with a FD maybe?), sets, A5, 3x, etc. Fish do strange things lol.

Hand 5: Since he's still unknown, your raise is the best play. Only if you are 100% sure this guy does the c/minraise with air vs nits/TAGs would I call and let him bet the turn then try to get the stacks in. Just raise as your standard in this spot obv.

Finally recovered from initially losing 8 BIs. I got within recovering 6 or 7 of the BIs and my sessions went something like +$6, -$4, +$3, etc, so I was essentially even over several sessions.

Not only did I recover but I'm finallly in the green, being up a little over a BI. I don't think I have ever been up at 25NL.

Will give an update Saturday when I can look at HEM/Cashier.

I'm curious to see what my set % was tonight. It had to be >30%. Seemed that way anyway.

I actually wish I had done this before. Now I don't know whether to tilt or not after a session.

I think I'm even or maybe up a bit.

After 6 day of no-look poker I was -$13.00 at 25NL FR but I never tilted during or after a session.

The day I thought I was >30% set percent, I was actually at about 20%. Definitely seem much higher.

So I've survived 25NL for 3 weeks. So far so good.

Been pretty much break-even for 25NL.

Last Night:

Hit Quads 4 times and I got some value out of them.
Hit set about 18%
AK hit about 45%
AA lost once
KK never lost

Played mostly 20-50bb games as the 100bb games were too nitty.

Should get bonus in about 400 fpp.

This time last year I was about ready to quit playing as I had withdrawn half of my roll due to frustration and had lost most of the other half to where my BR was at $61. I went on vacation and came back with a new attitude, built it back up to $800, and then almost went busto at 25NL at FT before moving back to PS.

Now the BR sit at a little over $800. Purchased the $50 bonus once I got 5000 fpp so I'll get the bonus in 350 fpps.

I've been playing FR for about 3.5 months now. I've also moved up to 25NL and have remained there for about a month without going busto.

So...

Switch to FR- Complete
Move back up to 25NL -Complete (which also completes 2 previous OPs)

I'm going on vacation Friday for a week to the gulf coast. Hopefully I can beat the oil. When I come back I'll start a new OP with my adventures at 25NL FR.

Thanks for all the help and a special thanks to Jason for going along with the April Fools thing.
