Hand 1

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($169.05)
UTG ($67.45)
MP1 ($98.25)
Hero (MP2) ($59.75)
CO ($50)
Button ($50)
SB ($64.95)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q

, Q

2 folds, Hero bets $2, CO calls $2, 3 folds

Flop: ($4.75) 5

, 2

, 4

(2 players)
Hero bets $3.50, CO calls $3.50

Turn: ($11.75) 5

(2 players)
Hero bets $11, CO raises to $23.50, Hero raises to $54.25 (All-In), CO calls $21 (All-In)

River: ($100.75) A

(2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $100.75 | Rake: $3

Villain is about 19/10 over 150 hands with a 5% 3b and a 55% fold to cbet. There is $44 left behind on the turn which is about two pot-sized bets, and I'm trying to get it in. I'm pretty sure QQ is the nuts here since he's rarely going to have KK+ because of how he played preflop and the flop, and there are only 7 flopped set combos once the 5 hits the turn. Sets are also somewhat less likely because he didn't raise the flop, but I don't think that is such an impact since this is the kind of board I would expect people to slowplay sets on a bit hoping I catch a pair on the turn with my missed overs or whatever. So anyway I'm like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghR6dsIZatM and he's like ok.

Hand 2

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP2 ($66.45)
Hero (CO) ($93.80)
Button ($50)
SB ($23.50)
BB ($50)
UTG ($48.80)
UTG+1 ($32.95)
MP1 ($77.60)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K

, A

UTG calls $0.50, 3 folds, Hero bets $2.50, 3 folds, UTG calls $2

Flop: ($5.75) 8

Turn: ($13.75) 5

(2 players)

River: ($98.35) J

(2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $98.35 | Rake: $3

Villain is basically an unknown, about 20/5 over 30 hands. The plan was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghR6dsIZatM and then he raised the turn and I'm like wtf are you doing. I'm 33% against {sets, AQ+, A8/A5/A2}, and obviously I think his range is wider than that, but the point is that if he had shoved then I'd have about a break even call against that range, so I think getting it in is fine.

Hand 3

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG+1 ($56.70)
MP1 ($50)
MP2 ($100.25)
MP3 ($28.70)
CO ($60.15)
Button ($58)
SB ($87.60)
Hero (BB) ($68.15)
UTG ($36)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A

, Q

4 folds, MP3 calls $0.50, 3 folds, Hero bets $2.50, MP3 calls $2

Flop: ($5.25) 10

, A

, 8

(2 players)
Hero bets $4, MP3 raises to $26.20 (All-In), Hero calls $22.20

Turn: ($57.65) 4

(2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($57.65) 4

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $57.65 | Rake: $2.85

Villain is 26/6 over 30 hands. I flop top pair and c-bet and he shoves half a stack so I snap him off. I need about 40% equity to call including the rake, and against the super duper pessimistic range of {every set, every two pair, AJ+} I'm 33% and I think it's time to be like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghR6dsIZatM since he's shoving all sorts of other random shit here often.

Hand 4

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (BB) ($64.20)
UTG ($88.60)
UTG+1 ($24.35)
MP1 ($70)
MP2 ($56.80)
MP3 ($50)
CO ($69.75)
Button ($27)
SB ($19)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9

Hero checks, MP3 bets $4, Hero calls $4

Turn: ($13.25) 2

River: ($13.25) 6

(2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $10, Hero calls $10

Total pot: $33.25 | Rake: $1.60

Villain is a regular 13/10 weakbox who is too pussified to double barrel almost anything here, including top pair, which I'm aware of, but still call the river bet like a dumbshit. This is terrible and I know it's terrible and I think I only copied this to my little notepad file of hands to post since it's so terrible. I think the flop is fine though.

Hand 5

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG ($55.80)
Hero (UTG+1) ($50)
MP1 ($50)
MP2 ($58.75)
MP3 ($63.85)
CO ($58.90)
Button ($50)
SB ($50)
BB ($50)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K

, Q

1 fold, Hero bets $2, 3 folds, CO calls $2, 3 folds

Flop: ($4.75) 4

, 2

, Q

(2 players)
Hero bets $3, CO calls $3

Turn: ($10.75) 7

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $8, Hero calls $8

River: ($26.75) 7

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $22, Hero folds

Total pot: $26.75 | Rake: $1.30

Villain seems to be a 15/12-ish standard reg with like a 30% ats and a 60% cbet over about 250 hands. His 3-bet is about 5.5%, but I have a note that he called pre in LP v a tagg MP open with AKo, which probably indicates AQ is in his range at least until the flop, etc. I'm pretty sure either this is fine or the river is a bet/fold for about half-pot, but I'm not sure about his river range. I don't think he's hardly ever going to try to bluff raise me on the river, so that leaves like the flopped sets and AQ and KQ and QJs or so along with the occasional 99-JJ. Against {flopped sets, KQ+, QJs, JJ-99(50%)} I'm about 44%, so value betting seems kinda blah. On the river I don't think he's betting worse this size very often, so that rules out a call. I guess I can check/call small here but otherwise it's fine?

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.

hand 1 is fine cos he does similar with 66-JJ. You'll see A3 more than sets, but you're ahead more often than not

hand 2 take AQ out of his range and you're only 22%. This one seems like a fold.

hand 3 Not thrilled about calling here, but I'm never folding

hand 4 I c-bet here, perhaps too often? once you check the check-call is fine. I fold on the river though.

hand 5 I don't like your turn play unless you're confident that he's the floating type, meaning that you think he'll take this like with 66/88-JJ/AK.

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

uhh 4th I snapcall like always. His range is full of SCs and shit because he didn't raise his post. I doubt many 50nl regs are betting a K for value so his range is like 56, 78, A3s and then fuckloads of nonsense. Also, your hand looks a lot like it is and he expects you to fold a lot.

others seem fine except I don't really like turn sizing hand 1 (although it seemingly induced some madness so wp maybe)
