10NL FR - J9o in SB

Player pool reads: There are 2 basic types of players on Bovada: deep stack and short stack. In general, a player's stack size when they first sit is a very good estimate of that player's skill.

Regs have a decent pre-flop game as far as bet-sizing, but are generally too loose from EP and MP. They generally treat aggression with aggression OTF and OTT, and become docile OTR.

The short stacks are level 0 thinkers who will chase anything to the river if you let them. Their lines are either strong or nonsensical, usually indicating either strength or a bluff / random bingo.

Pretty much everyone treats an open like a limp, while giving 3-bets get too much respect.

All reads are subject to random spew from anyone at any time (unfortunately, myself included).

This was very early in my session. I was quite rusty and as soon as I submitted that c/r OTF, I felt like I'd really screwed it up. I hadn't accounted for the weakness of both of our hands, based on his sizing PRE. I hadn't accounted for the fact that I'm turning a hand with equity into a bluff. I was playing basic level 0 poker and it slapped me in the face immediately.

Thoughts?


EDIT: added player pool reads 'cause ImSavy is right.
