--Villain is like 15/10, and has been throwing a lot of "fuck you" shoves down my throat, He had stacked me earlier with a set, playing a lot like this, but there's no way he had a set every time we got into it. I kinda wondered if he was shoving with some sort of sick diamond/JT draw.

hand 1- if im reading it right and BB is the 80/40 and UTG1 is the 45/5 then i would not fold and i may even keep raising. UTG1 covers you and ur deep and his stats indicate he is a station and BB is semi short and semi aggressive. I could see him (bb) taking this line with a bunch of Ax.

hand 2- i'd fold the turn, he's a 28/0

hand 3- raise more on the turn but wp

hand 4- raise more pre, like .12 and as played its obv a strong play when a really passive player leads a psb in a 3way pot, idk if i can find a fold anywhere in the hand, but i do not think id be raising the turn, especially because you have the Ace of hearts

Hand 1: You probably have too much equity to fold. Put them on ranges and check PokerStove.

Hand 2: AK-AJ is a pretty inaccurate range for a loose/passive here.

Hand 3: Check pre-flop. Your hand plays terribly and you're not in position. I'm not sure what you're asking about at any other point in the hand or why you even posted this to be honest.

Hand 4: Your pre-flop raise size is terrible, go for .12-.14 instead. A sample size on Villain's stats is useful here. For him to lead pot two streets setting up a river shove, it's hard to say how much is in his range that isn't 66 or 55, but I probably call down instead of shoving the turn since he's a passive guy taking an extremely strong line. Note flush draws are fairly unlikely because of the Ah and Kh being exposed.

These were my four biggest hands of the night, and even though I won this hand, I've always kinda wondered about the Pre-flop action here. Making a small raise to bloat the pot multi-way since there likely won't be any folds for such a tiny raise, in case I catch my set is the premise for pre-flop.

The rest of the hand is standard... but I just want to see how batshit insane I am for wanting to try to sweeten the pot a tad even out of position. I got told once on this forum (by you actually, I think) that sets are simple to play OOP. Since all I'm doing is set-hunting, I've sort of evolved this sort of a multi-way preflop shennanigans. But the more I thought about it, the more I figured it was wrong. So I wanted to see what the BC masses thought about it. Answer recieved.

Sets are simple to play because they're almost always the very top (or near the very top) of your range. But playing 3rd pair OOP with 2 outs to improve 70-80% of the time is not very easy to play, so just check.

And if you're going to raise, raise quit a lot bigger. They are limping with T7o, Q2s etc, so you want a hand that can make a decent TP hand. - 66 doesn't have a lot of equity against random trash, and they're definitely not going to make a mistake by folding too much to your cbets.
QJ would be a much better hand to raise there than 66.

Even in position I think you should be limping behind with hands like sc's, small pp's, and stuff like J8s rather than isolating.

Hand 2 got me thinking about a 28/0 player over 40

Ive been thinking about these comments and wonder what a 28/0 Preflop range looks like. Considering the small sample size.

Pokerstove at 27.5% produces.

55+,A2s+,K5s+,Q7s+,J8s+,T8s+,98s,A7o+,K9o+,Q9o+,JT o



Does a 28/0 dislike suited connectors and pocket pairs?

Am we better off giving a 28/0 a bigger range ...

Say include all Axs Kxs, suited connectors , small pairs.

But this takes me up to 30%-37% of starting hands.

Are we better off over compensating ?

shit something like like all SC's, all Ax, all broadways and all pp's and a few Kxs is a jumping off point, you can add combos and shit as you see showdowns

AcKd - pre good, flop good, turn i probably just call and call most rivers unless the other deep stack goes crazy

7s7c - fold pre

6s6h - just check pre. You have 66. If you raise pre then c-bet flop. Turn you should raise bigger, obviously good to get it in.

AcAh - bigger pre. I call turn ready to call any river. Close.
