Session Review

[Cobra_1878]

H1 is probably a fold pre, utg stats in this position are of the utmost importance. I make this call all the friggin time, and everytime I do, I hear bikes' weird America accent in my head saying "wtf? this is a fold, against anyone". I'm an idiot, I'm addicted to setmining because binking a set is almost as good as a spliff and cuppa. Ok if you know for sure utg has KK+ only, then yeah setmine this spot all day long. Like I say, utg stats are important. But that range is very unlikely. Button is wiiiide as fuck so setmining him is just plain dumb. .

Can you expand on this further? Why is setmining the button a bad idea?

Because your typical Tagg player is not going to lose a stack with an overpair/top pair there is little value set hunting against a decent taggy player when you are in fit/fold mode as you can be with small PPs against ep raises (think about the strength) of your opponents range.

However once a donk enters the pot that changes as they will lose their stack or bigger pots with much weaker second best hands. You therefore shouldn't be set hunting just because zomg I has pocket pair! But rather because your opponent will dump you chips when you make a set.

This is why in many cases when you call pre with sooted connectors you are already beginning a bluff as you should play the hand in a simialr way to a set only it's your actions and equity that force your opponent into difficult spots et
