Probably nit-picking but I think your squeeze sizing is a bit small pre, I'd make it $1.10-1.20 being oop.

Totally agree that at these stakes people tend to have an uber tight 4b value range and...

I'm not such a fan of pre either, I'd probably just fold - tons of reverse implied odds when you hit, and min raises are pretty terrifying (call me! call me!)

In the 3b pot here I wouldn't be...

Yea, it's between a raise and a call as played. If the BB is a reg, then most times he'll check to you as the pfr and he's also oop 3way on the flop. When the flop checks through and BB leads this...

I'm always getting it in on the flop in Hand 1. Villain already looks to be fishy from the 15 or so hands you've got and he could be doing this with loads of draws and worse overpairs.



Hand 2...

I would c-bet the flop for value here. BB may be unknown, but you'll still be taking the pot down lots IP here or you could be called by worse hands including draws and worse Ks. I like to keep...

I am the ultimate tilt monkey. It takes a fair number of coolers before it starts getting to me and usually I'm quite good at shutting down the tables and clearing my head for a few days, but...

Grinderschool has loads of good vids including HH reviews but those require membership to view, not sure about freebies, although bikes has posted a few in the linked thread.

Dunno whether this...

Why isn't hero 100bbs deep here? You've not got the whale covered!

Pre-flop this hand is like the nuts. Whaley's never folding pre, inelastic calling range etc, build that pot pre and like 6x open...

Calling with draws

Something I worked on just recently was determining my equity and whether or not I could call with draws in different spots.

So the two main questions/calculations are:

1....

I like your flop donk - looks seriously strong vs a utg open, lots of good turns to barrel. c/c really sucks cause you don't know villain's cbet tendencies, prolly be lost on the turn etc.

I would...

Anything known about opponents?

I would probably lead/call the flop and check/evaluate the turn when raised. You've got a ton of equity here with 15 outs so you want to start building this pot,...

Update for all (if any!) of the Apple folk out there - just discovered a great PokerStove equivalent!

Previously I was using Odds Oracle by ProPokerTools which totally does the job of calculating...

Bioremediation - using biology (typically bacteria and plants) to remove pollutants from the environment. Quite exciting stuff!

Yo yo yo yo, Petulie is back!

Had a long hiatus - long enough to almost forget my FTR password! Was off the tables for about a half year due to being overwhelmed by starting up a PhD and I was...

Well, this was just an example hand of failing to get my stack in with the nuts. True he may have straights or better sets in his range but this guy was pretty aggro, AF 5, so I think he'd let me...

One of my leaks is not being able to get my stack in by the river with the nuts against fish. I think I'm a bit timid on earlier streets and end up with a pot sized jam on the river which I fear...

UTG was a 41/25 fish so I was 3 betting for value. Damn nit had to interfere!

My calculation for pot odds was wrong above, it should be:

3.35 / (3.35+4.97+1.84 + 3.35) = 25%.

Even so, I...

Yea that's what I thought.

Also, totally right about flop - far too big, meant to comment on that.

Up against an uber nit here, 9/8 over 130 hands, 3b 6%, fold to 3b 100%.

I knew I should be wary when he cold called my 3bet here, and when he leads ai on the turn I'm pretty sure he's got me...

Yea, having thought more about it, I agree with calling on the turn.

I get myself into a really bad spot by raising this turn. I'm way ahead of his betting range here and I'll be happy to call...

Hi guys! Back on the tables after a long hiatus which I think has done me really good. I’m not quite the tilty aggro monkey I used to be so not leaking quite as much money anymore. Obv still rubbish,...

Hi guys!

Sad times I'm afraid, work has taken over my life. These 12 week projects are pretty hardcore, I'm really feeling the pressure of having to produce results in this limited timeframe as...

Hey dudes. Been quietly grinding the 5NLs, ez game. I took at shot at 10NL when I was re-rolled just to boost my VPPs and secure silverstar status for this month and unfortunately I encountered a...

Should add that he'll obv be value betting 88 on the river as well, this was included in my stoved range. Also, I don't think he has that many flushes in his range as he'd likely cbet Axs on the...

Villain is 32/22, fold to 3bet 60% and cbet 63% over 104 hands, no notes on the guy. BU is 23/11 fishy. I didn't 3bet pre as this guy is a bit stationy vs 3bets, I didn't want to be bloating a pot in...
