Question 2: What would you do in the following hand? (Remember that it is important to explain your reasons, simply posting "Fold" or "Call" isn't enough!)

No Limit hold'em $2 (9-handed)

Players and stacks:
UTG: $2.00
UTG+1: $2.08
MP1: $1.92
MP2: $1.00
MP3: $3.06
CO: (Hero) $2.08
BU: $2.00
SB: $2.00
BB: $1.24

Preflop: Hero is CO with AJ
5 folds, Hero raises to $0.08, BU calls $0.08, SB folds, BB calls $0.06.

Flop: ($0.25) 263 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, BU checks.

Turn: ($0.25) 5 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.22, BU raises to $0.44, BB folds, Hero...?

Villain is giving me good odds to call with his min. raise.

Board: 6d3d2c5c
Equity Win Tie
CO 21.65% 19.44% 2.21% { AcJc }
BU 78.35% 76.14% 2.21% { 44, 54s, 43o }

vs his raise i only need 19,47% equity to call, so i'm calling.

Question 3: Do you have questions about your postflop play? Post your hand for evaluation.

yes i do.

nl6 sh KQ HW3

yes i'm GOLD, thx for congratz!

+ i've decided to give you (veriz) more work, i see in the hand evalutions forum some participants are asking a lot of questions and giving you a hard time. i've seen that this is missing from my learning approach and have decided to do the same. ♦

Good job! Homework #2 Done!

Well, actually the 1st question can go for every variant of poker. In SH you also can adjust for example stealing range. CO range and etc. For example the 56s on MP is totally fine to fold. Most likely even a safest play, although some people still play such hands like 89s and etc from MP. And they can still play it even profitable if they are good postflop.

About Question #3:

       Equity     Win     Tie
UTG    46.32%  37.92%   8.41% { AKo }
UTG+1  53.68%  45.27%   8.41% { 88+, AJs+, KQs, AKo }

Hopefully you enjoy the School so far. Some more points earned.

Good job! Homework #3 Done!

About Question #1:
Preflop Equity:

       Equity     Win     Tie
UTG    50.78%  50.40%   0.38% { KsQs }
UTG+1  49.22%  48.84%   0.38% { 3d3c }

Postflop Equity:

Board: J♠5♦3♠
       Equity     Win     Tie
UTG    26.46%  26.46%   0.00% { KsQs }
UTG+1  73.54%  73.54%   0.00% { 3d3c }

About Question #3:
There are few situations on turn:
a) If we take just odds for the FD and we take into account that all our odds are clean. There which means:
Total Pot = $0,91 ; We have to Call = $0,22 -> According to that it means we are getting ~4,16:1 odds. For flushdraw we would need 4:1. Which tells us that we are getting perfect odds.
b) If we consider the opponent having sets here:
Which means we have to discount outs, for example 6:c and also 3:c. Which means we have 7 clean outs. Which means that we need 6:1 odds. That tells us that we need ~$0,41 on river to make it profitable. If we expect the opponent being loose enough and being able to pay us no-matter what then we can do the Call here properly.
c) We might even have overcards as outs or even 4 as a out:
Although this kind of situation ain't that likely. I'd rather discount that one and either pick a) or b). Most likely towards Call.

You are doing great progress! Some more points earned.

Good job! Homework #4 Done!

This weeks homework was a bit easier. But the idea of that is to help you go through last weeks stuff if you didn't go through everything. Or either way maybe even read some more articles, watch some videos and of course attend in the coaching. What will also help for your game is the evaluation part of other members hands and of course posting your own hands.

If you have interests you could try calculating the equity with a formula which you can use even on tables(either playing online or live poker):
(Amount of outs x 4) – (Amount of outs – 8) = Your Equity

About Question #3:

Board: J♠9♣8♥
       Equity     Win     Tie
UTG    41.41%  41.41%   0.00% { KsQd }
UTG+1  58.59%  58.59%   0.00% { 7h7c }

yes i'm GOLD, thx for congratz!

Yeah, that's really great feeling. I remember when I first time turned Gold and started to read the articles and watching videos. On those days there weren't even that many good videos as nowadays. It's just fantastic how many good videos are around. After my promotion for Gold I was of course eager to go for Platinum+. ♦ They are also worth Checking, most likely you will be even able to do that in future when moving up.

+ i've decided to give you (veriz) more work, i see in the hand evalutions forum some participants are asking a lot of questions and giving you a hard time. i've seen that this is missing from my learning approach and have decided to do the same.

That's really good actually, as you know I am also human, I am not a robot. ♦ Even I can do mistakes and correct and asking questions is way to goooo!!! Just continue like that, it also has a learning affect in your game. Well done!

Hopefully this wasn't too easy homework for you. Some more points earned.

since you already gave me points for HW4, here it is:

1)Post a hand for evaluation in which you have the initiative postflop.

2) Evaluate one of the hands submitted by other members

https://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=154135

3) You are on the flop with KQ. The board cards are J, 9, 8, and your opponent holds 77. What is your equity in this spot?

Board: 8hJs9c
Equity Win Tie
CO 41.41% 41.41% 0.00% { KsQd }
BU 58.59% 58.59% 0.00% { 7h7c }

LoL. Don't know how that happened. ♦ Guess I was messed up somehow.

By the way did you see my text in the Hand Evaluation forums?

this is graph for FR. i think i'm don't something right finally.
first few hands i was playing really stupid, i lost about 20$ or so. then i was playing great and continued to play great.

nl6 fr till 7,5k then nl10:

Wow! That's really nice graph, hopefully it did continue going on like this?
