I wanna thank OP and all those who take the time to post this type of question. It is much appreciated.

His hole cards are chosen from AAAAKK.
Chances of AA are 4/6 x 3/5 = 12/30 = 40%
Chances of KK are 2/6 x 1/5 = 2/30 = 10%
Remainder of times he has AK.
Ignoring straights and flushes for now,...

And he was right...so right :shifty:

Thanks for your help. Even more thanks for your patience.
BTW the Captain is 20

Forgive me if I being thick. Also, I'm not trying to be antagonistic.
@ Oskar. I copied a solution from someone else as an example of a calculation I couldn't do whilst playing a hand.
@ Spoon. I...

Please explain where my caculation was wrong

It seems I missed the point , but the result seems to be the same.
Ok... I accept what you say... but my question was... Is my reasoning valid or am I oversimplifying?

EV = x * $3 + (1-x)[(4/46) * $7 - (42/46) * $2]


While this formula isn't high level math I couldn't possibly do this calculation during play.
I see the problem as lose $2 or win $5, or 40:100...

I know I'm not much good at poker and am seeking to improve. The first part of my graph was doing quite well till I had a very tilty session. I know what caused it (beer, bankroll management, etc)...

There was a typo in my original post which I didn't catch till after I read these responses. Villain's stats were actually 24/17, not 24/7. No 3bets and fairly agressive post flop.
My flop reraise...

I didn't. The first mistake was a hurried and bad decision. The second was a case of simply hitting the wrong button. Even though I won it made me remove the distractions before continuing, so I...

[1]A nitty Tagg has called PF. I must assume that he at least matches my opening range from excercise 1.(22+,AJo+,ATs+, 67s+, and occasionally weaker hands)

Yeah, I knew it was a mistake. My attention was elsewhere. Hence Bad-click followed by Miss-click.

Given the earlier situation a Cbet is the optimum action. Bet sizing is a science I have yet to master so 5bb regardless of flop seems appropiate. If I had TPTK I might bet higher - with a set I...

I've read through Spoony's exercises on may occasions but have never responded, mostly due lack of knowledge and experience. I felt that I needed to learn more and improve before actually...

I reckoned villains' ranges to be rather wide. One was playing with less than full stack
and the other had entered 4/6 hands.
At the 'all in' point I thought that I probably had the best hand and...

Thanks to all for your advice. I knew I played it badly which is why I wanted comments.
Once the A dropped I got stuck with the idea that he had AK and checked it thru.
Opportunity missed.

Villain plays 15/14 with 4% 3bet over 400+ hands, seems like a careful winner.
He probably sees me as a bit looser.
Table has been fairly tight, I limp with 44 for setmining.
He raises from SB so...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and fairly new to poker.
I've done much reading here and am trying to reduce my fishyness by taking note of all the info available.
I am now trying the next step...
