This Thread will be updated every week. New Reviews on the bottom. June 30 Today i just played 2/4$ and 3/6$, every 5/10$ Table was full of TAGs. Surprisingly I don´t find good 5/10 tables most of the time, 1 day later i coached somebody on 5/10 and he was sitting next to a lot of bad players, maybe only Monday evening is not good. The Session was slightly minus, i lost around 100$, but a pretty unspectacular session. I played Heads up against somebody who had fish stats, but he turned out to be a TAG after 20 minutes. I was wondering why he played that solid^ Generally i try to avoid HU on these Limits because its almost unbeatable beacuse of the rake, so i would only recommend to play if a big fishs there. June 23 It was the first time with my new Co-Coach Firsttsunami and we had some problems with the synchonisation of our voices in the player. i hope we can fix that. We had some discussions about the question how many equity is needed for a turnbet against 1 opponent, but came to the conclusion that a lot of aspects have to be considered and that one can´t find an easy answer. The Session was pretty good, i won arond 75BB, but only on 2/4 and 3/6 because i had no stats and did not want to play higher for that reason. Officialy my coaching downswing is over after this 2nd Session with winnings >20BB :) May 12 The Coaching today started a little bit later because i had problems with my mic. Then we had a funny session, with a semi-maniac on the table and one guy that did not know the rules. He raised 3 Pairs on the river and stuff like that. I played this Hand against a Tag. I thought he is either check/folding with a hand that has little Outs against me or trying to check/raise with an Ace or Better, thats why i play this "Value-Check Behind".

I lost around 500 i think its more then i ever lost in a public coaching, around 70BB. I did not search hands because i tried to win my money back^, but there was 1 hand i remember: I raised from the Bu with QT, BB (Tag) calls. Flop A57 BB checks, Hero Bets, BB calls. After this call i can put hin on a pretty exact range: a low pair or K high. gutshots or oesds or the Ace would have c/r the flop, thus he must have a hand with little sd value that is not strong enough to c/r with. thats why i checked the turn planing to give up the hand. on the river he bets, i folded and he told me later in the chat that he had pocket 66. (i believe him because i kew him a little bit) so my read was right, but i have to be carefull to not get exploitet by bluffcalls if i give up my hand that fast. May 26 well its just ridiculous, i´m loosing > 400$ again, 5th coaching i a row with losses, > 200BB now. positive about that session was that i turned a royal flush again a nutFH, with another K on the river i would have won 20.000$.

I just took 3/6 Tables, because the 5/10 tables were not good, on the tables i finaly found there were several fishes. Especially one guy donated a lot of money, he was like 80/50/2.5/35. He was totally overplaying his hands and i could benfit from it pretty well.

see this one:

In this hand he wasnt raising postflop, it seemed as if he gave me at least some credit, capping over two guys. I thought he would valuebet every pair on the river, because he´s not thinking anyway, so i c/r him giving me one extra bet. he showed QJo.

Against normal opponents i would bet the river.

My good strike in Coachings continues, its the 5th coaching in a row where i had winnings. This Time i played 3/6$ and 5/10$ and won around 300$.
We were talking about the c/r on the river with initiative.
I wrote an article about this topic where you can find examples and explanation when this line can be good and when not: http://de.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/fixed-limit/1334/
At the moment its only available in german, but might be translated soon.

We had some interesting hands:

Preflop: Hero is SB with A♣, Q♣
MP3 folds, CO raises, BU folds, Hero 3-bets, BB folds, CO calls.

Flop: (7.00 SB) 8♥, 6♠, 8♣ (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 3♥ (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

River: (6.50 BB) K♥ (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

Final Pot: 8.50 BB

This is a great spot for a valuebet on the river with A-high. my opponent was a tag. The K is therefore a blank, because he would have foldet K high hnds on the Turn and cappt AK preflop. a pair he would have raised earlier.
These assumptions lead to his handrange: A-high hands!
he would never bluff these hands if i check but could call if he had AJ and AT, thats why i have to bet the river.

He had AJ.

On the River my opponent is donking again. if he is not an idiot he will always have KK or TT here, thats why i just called. in fact he had 89, i have no freaking idea what he is putting me on, i would not cap one worse hand on the turn.

Happy New Year!

In this Session i was playing 2 5/10 Tables and 1 3/6, that were pretty good. The Session was around break Even..

In the following Hand i have an interesting decision on the Turn and on the River:

5/10 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy Elephant 0.60 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7♠, 7♣
2 folds, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 2♦, 4♠, T♣ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) T♥ (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

River: (6.25 BB) 2♠ (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.

Final Pot: 10.25 BB

Villain shows A4

The Question is if i should just call down, raise the Turn (what against 3bet?) or raise the river.

I decided to not raise the Turn. I think in his range their are T´s (that got less likely), 2x, 4x, 33,55 and Pure Bluffs. I can hardly raise worse hands than a T on the Turn, this polarizes my range. I am scared that he therefore could 3bet the turn as a bluff, which i think is more unlikly on the river.
This is 1 reason why I delayed, but i´m not sure if my argument is good.

Todays Coaching was a little bit boring, there were almost no interesting hands, no big pots and no very interesting decisions. I won 130$ or so, btw the 5th or 6th coaching in a row without losses- nice.

Here we have one hand where the river is close:

Known players:

3/6 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy Elephant 0.67 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is SB with K♥, 4♥
2 folds, BU calls, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: (3.00 SB) 4♦, Q♣, 2♦ (3 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, BU folds.

Turn: (2.50 BB) 2♠ (2 players)
Hero bets, BB calls.

River: (4.50 BB) 5♣ (2 players)
Hero bets, BB calls.

Final Pot: 6.50 BB

Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows two pairs, fours and deuces (Kh 4h)
BB shows two pairs, fours and deuces (4s 3c)

Hero wins with two pairs, fours and deuces (Kh 4h)

c/c against a busted fd or valuebet against a worse 4? generally i think its better to valuebet thin especially on a little bit higher limits my impression is, that less people make bad bluffs, but still a lot of people make bad calls.
This time he had 34o.

In the End we had a discussion about what it takes to play for a living and i have the opinion that it feels much better if you have another fixed income, for a better feeling when playing.
