Session Review

What about keeping in lesser draws?

I like this more when we can be sure we have the best hand when we hit, so we can comfortably stack him. And if he's really bad, he might continue to a raise anyway with worse draws.

Can you recall (i think it was Micro's post last week) about not getting blown out of pots where we have a good but not yet the best hand with solid later street equity vs what might be a better hand now.

My memory sucks, all that wacky baccy I smoke. Obv goes without saying, but in case it's not obvious, I'd be much more inclined to listen to m2m than me! I can't see villain in this AQ hand blowing us out of the hand with anything other than a jack, and if he has a jack, we're best standing aside anyway since we might make flush with his boat card, which obv sucks a lot. If his range is narrow enough that he can only have AJ when he has a J, then our draw becomes a lot nuttier, but we know this guy can have lots of Jx, so when we know he has a J, best to fold imo. But my opinion is not worth a great deal, I'm still way behind a lot of reg posters here, way behind.

Doesn't surprise me that vil had QQ in our AK hand. Overbets are rarely bluffs, I thought he had a boat but we have nut straight dammit and I'm not good enough to fold this unless he bets more.

again this is why i pushed AQ and didnt just raise - i didnt expect the limper to ever fold a Jack never mind a flush

If this read is a solid read, then shoving is absolutely correct. I'm not that great at assessing villain's post flop tendancies from their stats, sure I can apply decent pre flop ranges but that's about my limit right now. I guess it comes with experience. I want to know he can call a jack, not think. But I probably lose a lot of value thinking like this.
