    Ok I'm going to review a session I played last night and focus on one part against a fairly ok reg who had a few major leaks.To fill you guys in, basically the session began very aggressively with loads of 3 betting from both sides. When I realised he was flatting 100% of my 3 bets I obviously started 3 betting extremely wide for value and not otherwise.

    1. No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    BB ($50.50)
    Hero (SB) ($50)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, 6
    Hero bets $1.25, BB raises $4.50, Hero raises $10, BB calls $6.50

    Flop: ($23) 5, K, Q (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks

    Turn: ($23) 8 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $11, 1 fold

    Total pot: $23

    This hand comes from the start of the session, think this was his second 3 bet and he just looked very reggy and active. Feel like K6o has pretty good blocker value and this is as good a time to throw in a 4 bet bluff as any.

    I could c-bet/not fold the flop, but I think this actually has a load of FE. If he's flatting random cards it's probably not a flop he'll mess around too much on. If he's gonna mess around on the flop he'll likely lead the turn anyways, and yeah his TT JJ or w/e are just folding here most of the time to a c-bet. Great board to c bet with air, that's obv how I'm playing air so perhaps that induces as much as checking does if not more, but meh not sure it makes too much difference. He can think I'm giving up with a bluff here so I decide I'll give him an oppertunity to lead turns.

    Maybe I should just go 1/4 pot 1/3rd pot 1/3rd pot for value and see if he'll station off with Qx or underpairs, or spazz at some point. This is prolly my best line, but not one I considered at the time. KQ is discounted here and I expect to see AK and AA very rarely so meh I should focus on extracting from a weakish range and inducing and not worry too much about balance at this point facing some dumb 50NL reg etc.


    2. No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (SB) ($51.25)
    BB ($51.35)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, 7
    Hero bets $1.25, BB calls $1

    Flop: ($3) J, 6, J (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $2, BB calls $2

    Turn: ($7) 10 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $4.50, BB calls $4.50

    River: ($16) 7 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks

    Total pot: $16


    This one I think is fine. I'm still opening shit like Q7o he'd have to be 3 betting a hell of a lot and playing well for me not to be. I c bet here planning to fire turns on this board since a good bit of his peeling range will be A high or a shitty pair, 6x etc. Think he likely often folds the former. This turn is alright, takes away a few of his Jx combos and is a further over card to 6x or baby pairs. I fire despite my shit equity with the plan to give up rivers since I think he has Jx too often should he call turn. River I check and hope to be good, pretty std.


    3. No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (SB) ($50)
    BB ($108.70)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 7, J
    Hero bets $0.75, BB calls $0.50

    Flop: ($2) Q, 4, 5 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $1.50, BB calls $1.50

    Turn: ($5) K (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $3.95, BB calls $3.95

    River: ($12.90) A (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $16, BB raises $102.25 (All-In), Hero folds

    Total pot: $44.90


    By now we've fully established the dynamic of 3 betting the shit out of each other and he's calling every one. I haven't tripled yet as far as I can remember or if I have fired 3 he's folded maybe one time. I've overbet like 3 times and been called once when I had rivered the nuts. Here I think flop and turn are fairly standard, think he'll call the turn with a load of Qx, floating the flop is not his style, he's more of a c/r guy, and he never calls 2 here with just A high. Draws I also expect him to raise on the flop the way he's been playing so this card is way better for my range than his. I do polarise myself a lot here and he probably doesn't belive I ever just have Ax. Think since I'm just trying to fold out QJ QT Q9 or pair + bricked turned fd combos I should just be betting like 8.70 or w/e and losing less the few times this happens/he calls with better.

    If anything this sizing may make him call wider or hero more often given he's seen me do this a few times and the last one was for value - conceivable I'm bluffing with a decent frequency here.

    That's my analysis for now. Be back with more updates and shit soon. Hope you're all running good!
