Sage advice. Thanks!

I have a couple of regs with ATS > 40% and Fold to 3bet > 90%. So I can 3bet lighter, keep hands like TT or KQ in my flatting range. Both ways are money.

Now I'll be...

Wow, advice from Griff in the op thread! Thanks!

I read this before I played tonight, and I've been taking a close look at these types of hands. Having equity oop can be hard to deal with, but if...

Interesting HH:

Hero (BB): 105.5 BB
UTG: 185 BB
MP: 98.5 BB
CO: 459.5 BB (VPIP: 24.70, PFR: 20.65, 3Bet Preflop: 9.68, Hands: 253)
BTN: 153 BB (VPIP: 29.63, PFR: 22.53, 3Bet Preflop: 3.39,...

OK, Hero has a hand like 88 and 99 in the blinds, it gets opened by the CO or BTN, everyone else folds. What do we do? 3bet? Call? Feels like way too much equity to fold preflop, but how best to play...

BB has ATS 3/3 times from SB and 3/4 times from BTN, has folded 4/5 vs. BTN steal attempts. He steals a lot himself, and the only time he didn't fold to BTN steal attempt was a 3bet. So one of two...

Funny. Every two years since US pokerz died, I get the bug again. Probably something to do with Game Theory rotating through my teaching schedule every even-year Spring semester. So I'm dabbling at...

First round for FTR is on me, if you do!!

I'm still worried about br safety in the US, so I'm happy at the micros. Dunno what I'll do if and when I get to NL25 and the amount of money in my online...

One of my biggest poker leaks, even when I won, was the inability to understand the dynamic value of my hand. In real time, at the table, tilting, it's hard for me.

AK is dog poop at times,...

Thanks, Keith, like the 350BB in a limped pot!

The intriguing thing about poker is that it's complex. I like it because it always forces me to think.

The 2NL's, lolz, right? Still, with 10 BB/100 in rake, beating it's no joke. You gotta think...

So, agreed with Keith and MClan_Superman that we're sticking with the staking agreement as originally defined in this thread: Robb Returns.

So I feel better about talking about volume, stakes and...

Thanks, Griff, I've always appreciated how much time you take in the BC with players who are learning. Hope you're doing well.

I've been halfway grinding lately, trying to nit it up at 6-max 2NL....

Hey, folks, I'm back. I checked in with Keith about the staking agreement we had. I haven't played poker in 15 months, but I would like to. I will start posting again soon when I know the status of...

I haven't played poker in about 10 days, first due to hectic life surrounding my wife's birthday when several families from out of town visited, then due to Merge's update and the subsequent PT...

hehe no worries

I quit opening tables after 4-5 BI's down, and tightened up to ~ 26/22. A few more BI's dropped and tightened up more, eased off on marginal 3bets/squeezes. Tried to flat less,...

Check.

Check.


Pending...

I've seen these huge downswings, sometimes 25 - 40 BI below EV over weeks and weeks, from FTR icons. I guess this is still just a medium-sized one. Sorry for the bad beat posts, just wanted to look...

This is my last week of poker:

That's awesome - I wish I had that level of discipline. I only have 4 tables going on a 27" monitor, so I see all my tables all the time. I guess I could physically minimize it, though.

I'm pretty...

I played pretty good, down just a BI today, ran 4.5 BI behind EV.

Sorry this has turned into a bad beat bitch-fest. I just hope my stakers know I'm getting the chips in good. Hopefully, the...

Down about 2 BI today. Variance hit on HU starting tables against a known TAGG, A9 < A6s, 55 < KK, AT < KJ, all 5bet shoves by me after he started 4betting light. Thrilled he'll call off his stack...

This made me lol - thanks, Luco!


I went through all my reasons for 70BB buy-in, and I did not find them compelling. I'm now opening all tables, super-short or full, with 100 BB stacks and...

Thanks, DJ, I think I'm doing pretty well. I have 4 batches of custom stats created for FTC scenarios, and I'm working on the maths.

Poker life is good. The time off helped. I had a lunchtime...

Thanks. Felt good in a session this morning, still ran a BI below EV. Got the money in good, didn't tilt. If I can keep doing that, I'll be fine.

Rock climbing was cool. It's a pretty grim...

lol full retard...I tilted last night, lost 1.5 BI's, quit, took today off to watch the CL final and have margaritas with some friends, going rock climbing tomorrow. Will probably be down massively...
