I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Your 3-bet amount sucks. Make it $12-$14. If they fold too much open up your 3-bet range. If you're too scared to 3-bet a wider range an appropriate amount when it's called for, then you don't deserve action when you 3-bet your premium hands. You'll have to settle for overall reduced action when you have a hand.

Sorry so harsh. Tough love.

Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

over how many hands do you have him? Could be a set, I'd call for set value pf seeing as how your stack is pretty large. What do you guys think about a re-raise here? If a LP is betting/reraising , would you say it's generally a monster?

No offense taken. The seemingly small size of the 3-bet is because of the size of the min-raiser's stack, and my normal 3-bet against a min-raise is $14 with 100bb stacks. I figured that when it comes back around to the min-raiser, regardless of the other action, then I induce more mistakes with my 3-betting range from that player than if I raise to my normal $14.

In retrospect, I think a major flaw of my preflop play here is that it sets up spots where everyone left in the hand besides the min-raiser has excellent implied odds on me, plus position for the majority of villains. I feel like the mistakes I induce from the short stack are outweighed by the total shit-storm I set up for myself to play against post-flop.

The source of all of this is that I've been digging through that book Professional No-Limit and trying to set up some SPR ratios that I think will play well in certain spots, especially 3-bet pots, but I'm starting to think that there is a pretty big flaw in playing this way because in general it makes your preflop betting tip your hand way too much. However, I don't think that particular flaw is what gives me problems here.

How much do you extrapolate post-flop play from pre-flop play? Seems that could be a little dangerous to assume that a 50/5 is going to necessarily be loose passive postflop...

I've started to user PAHud's "aggression flop frequency" and "folded to flop bet" a lot more as I used to pretty much just use the PF numbers.

Ignore the small stacking bastards, concentrate on the full stacks behind you.
