Results 1 to 8 of 8

    Default 5NL - AA; 3bet pot, deeeeep stacked

    no reads on villain, just started playing and no hands in the db.
    I was kinda at a loss on what to do here because I don't know how to play so deep, makes me wonder why I buy in for 250bb's lol
    I would have rather just got it all in on the flop or turn.

    I suck at hand ranges during play so I didn't really have him on a range at the time and I had another big hand going at the same time.

    I guess I can put him on a range of 10's+, AK preflop which gives me 83% equity
    post flop I really just think he's JJ+, which leaves me at 78%

    Basically by the time the river came around I"m really wondering where I stand and never wanted it to go that far....what's the best line I should have taken for this hand?

    Not happy with river. I think I check/call river if villain bets lightly. Since you are deep I suppose villain has great implied odds to chase draws?
    I wouldn't be surprised to see a set or a straight here.

    even with a range with everything he could possibly have no matter how dumb he was (JJ+,66-44,22,A3s,65s,54s,65o,54o) I'm still at 63% equity, so I guess it's never bad for me to put the monies in

    I also like to keep ptr open and quickly search for total unknown if faced with horrifying decision. Calling someone with graph going straight down seems to be EV+.

    Squeeze bigger preflop, .85-.90 sounds about right.

    "I guess I can put him on a range of 10's+, AK preflop which gives me 83% equity" : This isn't very accurate. I'd add JTs+, 65s, 44-99.

    On river you probably get hero called by enough Jx, or TT/QQ to make it an easy shove here.

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    3b larger pre. even if we were only 100bb deep i'd be making this at least $0.8. being deeper typically means we want to size our 3b's bigger preflop so i wouldn't mind anything up to $1. all postflop streets look ok to me. i expect random 5nlers to have enough AJ/KJ/QJs,88-TT in their ranges for us to get at least two streets, probably three. also, 55,44, and 22 can be discounted from his range to some degree by the fact that he didn't raise the flop or turn.

    you do know that this is explicitly against Poker Stars' terms and conditions right? and that you can (should?) have your account locked and funds confiscated for breaking these T&Cs.

    Erm, wait, maybe we have a misunderstanding. I open that website, and get few free searches daily to look up some players at my stakes and like few cool high stakes ballers, and I can get locked for that?

    EDIT: Its not like I bought hand histories or anything lol, that costs more then my entire bankroll. Also, why does Pstars and similars sites allow this? Its not like they are not aware of that sites existence.
