hi, svenbe
i think 40bb effetive, when board comes like this, u have the nuts, and this nuts is not invulnerable
so i'd rather raise and get it in fast than letting him hit his over cards.

i mean, if u don't think ur hands is nuts in this board, just fold it pre!( just my opinion)
ye, he sometime has better hands, sometimes he fold, sometimes he reshove bluff, and sometimes he over value his AK AQ AJ , sometimes he calls with worse, just too complicated.

i have a strong faith i have the nuts, so just ~~!

It is not a value raise (you want him to fold), but it is surely a +EV raise. IF you just call, your hand is vulnerable, needs protection, which is why I really like raise / call. Could maybe even shove raise ? that way you would likely fold hands as KJ but AT+ might still call, and with FE it is likely nice +EV. I like to merge bluff raise IP but only on drawy boards, because you have FE + you win decent % of time on showdown. This board can be also seen as drawy because any two overcards have 6 outs vs your hand

yes, and when u raise, they would level thinking themself that like~~~ if u have strong hands why u rasie on such a dry boARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blahblahbla so they might do something stupid.:)
and by doing so i can rasie some bluff hands on flop in my strategy too

and QT is by no means a weak Q in this spot !

Ok, I got it, your play was purely exploitative. The disadvantage of this move is that your call flop range becomes even weaker. Low dry boards favor villains range hugely, and when you raise some value hands on such board, the disadvantage on the turn is even bigger (probably less important with shallow stacks). I know that you don't care much about gto approach (as I understood from your comments), but this fact about range disadvantage is also important. What I didn't get from your comment, did you make exploitative raise because you had a specific read on villain that he is going to be bluff heavy with shove because you don't repp anything, or because you have population read? I often like from time to time to make non standard plays (with bluffs) or induce players, because it is also good to have agro image, you get then payed quite good with value hands.

I just saw few interesting hands from your blog, do you have some video session, showing how you play? I think that it is very interesting that you are playing profitably so high limits, but you don't care much about gto also don't rely much on stats, that's why I would like to see more hands from you, maybe the best in the video. did you make some coaching video already, or at least if you would like to share some video how you play (doesn't have to be coaching, just to see you playing).

yes,i agree with u, but u have to see what date this hand was played. poker in 6 months can change a lot. so I would definitely not riase this kind of hands as default nowadays.:f_drink: but u know, now people like to 1/3 cbet. so rasing this kind of hands become attractive as well. i have to say u have to mix a lot. sometimes do these sometimes do that and change gear sesssion from session a lot. i have lots of arsenal of eo play .
for exmapl i can bet 1/3 pot on flop, i can check, i can overbet on flop i can pot it
i can 1/3 + pot i can 1/2+ 1/2~ etc.

i made videos for pokerstrategy.com before in chinese community but those videos were so so so old......
in fact i was invited by runitonce to make videos too but after thorough consideration i declined it
becasue i have so much eo playes whereas in runitonce coaches plays diffrently when they record vids
i don't want to holdback but i fear I give too much on vids . i mean, the reward is not high enough to motivate me

Ok, I see your point about videos. I think that you don't give up too many tricks if you don't explain them. If you have a certain approach, it is only good for someone if he understands why is it good to play that way, and to know how to apply it in future hands. I thought, if you could post here some short video how you play, you don't need to explain what you are doing, just shut up and play :) so it wouldn't be much effort. Similarly as you post hands here, where some players could learn something from you, you could also post video which would be likely very interesting for many people. If you don't want other people to benefit (learn) from your posts, then your whole blog is only about showing off how much you earn in poker?

I see why you don't want to show video for runitonce. You play high limits profitable, with very exploitative style, so if you show in the video moves which make difference between you and other players, you could loose that difference. I was hoping that you could post some short video only for your loyal fans, here in your blog :)

yesterday, I saw a blog which is benebadbeat's blog on 2+2. and it describeb that he had 300k hands downswing and very horrible result
but i think that, poker can change a lot even in 6 months , if u don't work hard, u would be behind, and most players see it as a downswing not as a skill behind.

just like what he said in his blog, he has lots of good players around him, but he never asked them to coach him, and decide to try it now.
very very strange. why we need coaching and learn only when we are behind and can't win anymore? whey we not keep working when we win very big.
to be honest. i watch vid every day for 6 years. evern when I travel I watch it pre-travel .:f_drink::f_drink: when I am ahead I have to keep learning
i don't like the attitude that " i am behind I need to gear up". it sounds motivating but i have to think why I would be behind? i'd rather alwasy be ahead of the trends
:f_drink::f_drink:

ok that;s some mentality of mine which i hope would help my blog viwer
and now its some of my new collection

Last time I was playing online poker was around a year ago. I was playing Nl100 fast forward at party poker, had 8bb/100 winrate. Never switched to NL200 because party poker didn't have fast tables for NL200, and NL100 on party was super fishy so I didn't want to change casino. I quitted online poker because my wife told me that playing poker makes me too much nervous, and money is not worth it. Since then I play only live poker at casinos because for me it makes much more fun, it is also about studying peoples tells not only the strategy, more social, less tilt, no bots. My playing style in online poker was very aggressive, mostly based on exploiting villains cappt ranges using small bet sizes and overbets on later streets which worked great until many coaches started explaining cappt ranges and overbets, but it is still powerfull tool. I like also learning a lot about gto because it is very challenging theory and I use it mostly to balance my check ranges, in order to not have many leaks, but I still mostly tend to play exploitative.
