Ask me anything about 6-max: pleno1's coaching thread

I just moved to sh 80K hands ago and I played 35K nl200 SH and still get owned a lot. ) i played a ton of FR games all the way up to nl400.

My flop raise % is around 17,5 % so i think its ok =

I have some difficulty with check raising the flop, my flop check raise % is 8,7 do not know if this is to low?

I check raise my sets when board is wet and we are mw and i know pfr will cbet.

Also i like to check raise my big draws 12 outs or more.

I check raise my overcards or pp when am hu and the villain cbets to much, more then like 80%.

What other hands can i ad or is my range and check raise just fine

One other issue, over a 30K sh sample i made a winrate of -174bb/100 hands with..................OVERPAIRS.

I just find them my ever lasting nightmare. When i check the turn for pot control i always get suckout (at least i got that feeling). And when i go for 3 streets of value i get value owned on the river.

Even pocket kings (over 40 hands i still loose ) or AK (over 111 hands i loose -283bb/100)

I know sample is still small but i still wanna do something about this.

wouldn't it be better just to close a table at ZOOM if you double up and avoid difficult deep stack spot and open up again with 100 bb or isn't that possible with ZOOM I know you can do it with ipoker's Speed Hold'em?

i did that a couple times playing zoom - it is possible. did it cos im not experienced enough playing deep which is quite backwards thinking because if i kept doing that then i'll never learn to play deep

Being deep at Zoom is where money is if you know how to fold

When you are deep on zoom in the blinds facing a steal:

Do you open up your value 3B range as you expect villain to flat more (rightly so as we are deep)
Do you tighten up your value 3B range as you want to have a stronger range being OOP deep. In which case you flat more.

What happens to your 3B bluffing range?

Thanks

Hey Pleno!

I've just read through this thread and it's amazing how committed you are to answering every question as good as possible. Big thumbs up!

I've been thinking about getting a coach to get my game to the next level, but still unsure when I want to make the investment. I saw your coaching schedule in the beginning of the thread and it looks very interesting.

So my question:

How much do you charge for your coaching services?

hey guys,

will reply to all ASAP, big grind weekend and busy at the moment.

Speak soon and run good.

The regs seem to go absolutely bonkers too when you start getting 150+bb deep

Imo most value one can get from fish that coolered someone few times. And they absolutely have no clue how to play deep. I am a calling station, so still it is not best option for me, I guess.

I know this is only 100bb but this is something I really like doing vs fish and especially when deep.

There has been alot of 3bet/ 4bet action villian and me. I think villian is certainly capable of making 4-bet bluffs as he has a 4-bet percentage of 15.4 and knows I am capable of 3 bet bluffing in this spot. So far I hadn't made a 5 bet yet in the session. Also calling oop and then reraising looks more like a pocket pair or maybe suited connecters and thought I was either mostly flipping if he called or he would fold his bluff. What woud you think his range is in this spot? Is the 5 bet shove overplayed here?

Actually it is "We don't pay you (dot)" or "We don't pay you, so we are going to be patient because we admire the effort you are putting to answer all these questions".

I personaly would go for the second one
