The hand below is an embarrassing example of how sometimes I spew money postflop playing my loose range overly aggressively in all the wrong spots. That would be my most costly leak I'd say. I thought I might benefit if I ask around here for any tips on how to remember not to spew postflop with a loose range. Most especially in 3B pots. I kinda feel compelled to make a stab and then for some reason proceed to thinking that if the opponent didn't give up he's just overbluffing me. Yeah, I know, shocked myself.
SB: $5.00 - VPIP: 33, PFR: 22, 3B: 0, AF: 0.0, Hands: 18
Hero (BB): $5.28 - VPIP: 29, PFR: 24, 3B: 9, AF: 2.7, Hands: 3037 - My stats so you can see what I refer to as loose.
UTG: $5.00 - VPIP: 23, PFR: 14, 3B: 0, AF: 0.8, Hands: 22
CO: $10.37 - VPIP: 43, PFR: 32, 3B: 27, AF: 2.0, Hands: 28
BTN: $8.13 - VPIP:26, PFR:20, 3B:10, Agg%:56, BURFI: 41, F3B:0(3), Hands: 117 - The villain does have AF:20.0, whatever the hell that means, I don't use AF. Agg%:56 looks sane enough, even if on the high end.
Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is BB with 5♣ 4♣
2 folds, BTN raises to $0.15, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.50, BTN calls $0.35
Flop: ($1.02) 3♦ J♦ 3♠ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.50, BTN raises to $1.35, Hero calls $0.85
I was thinking, "What the hell is he raising me here with? No QQ+ in his range. Did he flop a full house with JJ? Seriously?! And raises with it too?! Because AJ doesn't raise here." So I got pissed and decided to ignore the information about my own hole cards and went into the spewy mode.
Turn: ($3.72) A♠ (2 players)
Hero bets $1.78, BTN raises to $5.05, Hero folds and feels like a complete idiot
"Now he's definitely folding that goddamn QQ he called with preflop and raised flop, and if he calls I still have a gutshot! Or is he?"
So any tips? Also hope this post makes you feel better about your own game.
