I think betting small would be fine.

Learning target - plan the hand:
I do this job great in the first 2-3 hours. Than I get tired and I should make a break. But I dont do it. Not good. Hope to solve this issue soon.

Other matters
Hey, 5 components of my new computer has already arrived. I hope all other components will arrive until tomorrow so that I can assemble my computer. Yesterday I had a tough day. I was 600 $ down on NL100 vs 1 big fish. He was a maniac and hit everything. I cursed a lot. I tried not to make stupid things and fighted back. Luckily the fish didnt leave the table and I could fight back to end the match with a profit of 100 $.

hand of the day
Villain was a bad passive preflop and bad aggressive postflop. Would you have called the river?

I will change my goal again into tooking up time. I will try my best in improving this goal. I will add another goal after 1 week. Until than I will try to count until 3 before I make any decision. The decision are made by intuition.

I got the last components for my new PC. Now I watch some videos how to assemble a new computer. I also ordered two new thriller books (Lisa Gardner and Lee Child). When I like the first book of the series I will order the rest. If you have any recommedation please let me know.

My question about the hand here is whether turn bet is a good option at all?
Wouldn't checking back turn here be viable option? And then depending on river card/action you check/call/fold.

Turn check bcs:
- when u bet small (in which case u can fold to raise) u can induce him to showe with some semi-bluffs and u fold best hand
- when u bet big like 35$+ u have only 40$- left to call if he showes so its abit shitty spot in terms of decision whether to call or fold with needed 20% EQ.

I guess the second play would be better option, but then again i dont think your hand has so much value in this spot against random oponent.

Confused really :f_confused:

I checked in this spot and called a riverbet vs air. Gordon advised to bet the turn for thin value and call a shove. Villain made a strange overbet on the flop and checked the turn. He can made some spew when we bet and bet worse hands.

It was interesting. I had some intervals where I did it great and some moments when I got impatient because a bad player win and I hit nothing. Lets try to reduce this leak.

When I have my new computer I want to join jew rooms. I think pkr is one candidate. Do you have some more rooms where which you can recommend?

Villain was bad player with some aggression postflop. Would you have called the river?

Yesterday I had a great day. I count to 3 and did it the whole day. The bad thing was that I lost about 100 $. But that is ok. I improved in learning and that is the important thing to become better. Just the learner will be the winner in the future.

Other matters
I wait for my last components for my new computer. I hope they will come soon. And I got a long coaching yesterday. We discussed some hands and I learned a lot.

Villain was a bad aggressive player. What would be your plan on the flop and the other streets?

Raise flop to 20-25$, cb big on blank or 3flush turn (+fold to checkraise) or slow down on 4 straight turns. Dunno what to do against flop 3bet tho. Considering oponent is bad agressive, maybe ship wouldnt be that bad, considering ur 2pair is decreasing probability of sets/2pair and board is somewhat or very wet - depends how loose he defends BB.

I like your analysis. I would also 2bet. But how would you react when villain 3bets you?

Whenever you want. But lets make and HU SnG (15 $ for example and deep). So we dont have much rake. Are you interested?

I took up enaugh time in the last 2 days. And that over the whole day. Im very satisfied.

Other matters
I started to make 5 minutes break after 1 hour. When I have a big fish I will play until I beat him or he run. After that I make a break. I use the break to calm down and to analyse myself. I like it. Muah.

I'd prefer cash since I'm going for SN anyways, don't think sng is quite the same since you can't really put too much pressure on can you..

Already answered ;)

But thinking back i dont think ship is any good given ur deep, bcs in this case oponent would really have to be completely crazy to make it profitable. And if he is not, you are against naked FD/OESD or overpair in best case scenario, and against anything else you are already behind. So i think call or fold vs flop 3bet depending on the price you get to call (to boat-mine :) ).
But for more precise answers we would need more info abt his preflop play to determine his range better - which hands he just flats and which hands he 3bets (bigger PP, small PP, SC, offsuit conectors..).

If you were just 100bb deep however, i'd still just ship vs flop 3b, given ur info about oponent being bad-aggro post.

We would play 200BB deep when playing an HU deep SnG without any blind increase. So you have enaugh chips to give me pressure.

Villain was just 100BB deep. Which worse hand would call your shove? Do you think that we are ahead vs villains range?

Nothing has changed. I took up enaugh time for thinking. When I feel bad I make a short break of 5 minutes to calm down and to analyse myself.

How do I learn the most when I have coachings? I mark all the hands where I dont know how to play or which Im interested. Then I ask Gordon how he would play the hand vs an unknown villain. All this things will be written down in an extra sheet. Before I start a session I always check it.

Well given oponent is bad-agrro, u can be ahead of some low overpairs (for more exact hands you need to know how he plays them preflop - flat or 3b), FD, open-enders and strong combodraws. And drawing dead vs higer 2p/sets - but proportion of hands is weighted towards first group since ur hand removes some combos of set/higher 2p.
Now i think enaugh discussion abt this hand, so much discussion usualy means its a close spot so it prolly doesnt matter what u do :f_p:

Against unknown i'd check/raise turn not big, because i would like to keep him in the pot with his draws and TP. So x/r to sth like $9 (He only has 6 clean outs if he has 54 - so u dont give him all to good price with only $5,5 to call).

Generally i'd just try to build the pot as big as i can on the turn and not make my opponent fold.

And since villain is a fish (considering he's limper + not full stack), i'd just x/r big to 14-15$, beacuse as a fish he's generally less likely to fold, and after he calls he's comited for the river (given his stack size), whether he knows that or not is another question :f_biggrin:.

In short: i'd just extract as much money as i think i can get from given oponent on the turn.

Thanks for your thoughts. I would also cR the turn and be prepard to go broke vs worse made hands and draws.

Learning target: (1) take up time + (2) board analysis
I will add another goal which is called "board analysis". I want to analyse different board structures. For example I wont bet without equity (42 on JT7). I will also check the turn and river cards and if they increase the FE. I will adapt my line to this cards.

Other matters
My new computer is running well. Its very fast. But it also freeze 3 times. I dont know why. I hope it wont be permanently and damage my pc.

I would have raised the flop,

Given the situation i would called the turn against unkown.

The river could be harsh though
