Omaha clicking, Project 2026

Sort of interesting hand. I cbet flop having decent amount of blockers and hand having pretty low check EV. Turn makes my QQ as prime blockers so I continue aggression. In river we do make two pair which might occasionally be good. But I think there are still bit too many hands we are losing to so I still kept using those blockers.

One point is that good amount of people lack these sort of flop cbets or they might cbet but then they slowdown. Reason being they cbet without plan to use QQ as future blockers and more as thin value. Then when they do get called thinking goes more into "Ah he has something reasonable, better to slow down and try to get to showdown". But these sort of hands make pretty natural bluff candidates as they block the nuts and unblock lot of other continues that often cant take the heat in the later streets.

PS: That said best blocker component especially for river would be 99. QQ does block also some draws on turn which increase fe on turn but then becomes bit bad for river bluff.

This guy had been kinda maniac type. Its tricky to play versus these guys as its tough to say what they are doing and I doubt even if they themself know it. This is good example as I did wonder what was reasoning behind river bet? In practise its bluff aiming to get overpairs to fold but who knows.

This was maybe too passive on flop? 100bb deep I would not mind to x-r but here SPR is 25. So decided to take bit more passive approach. On river getting value is tough so decided to check. Luckily villain did not bet as JT would make lot of sense as well. Not that he should bluff with his hand.

And opponent is thinking "you gotta be f****** kidding me!", like I did multiple times in my last session! :f_love::f_love::f_love:

It's worth celebrating, those 55% wins

Monday was poker wise dirty. Not so much result wise as it was only 100€ down but situation wise it was just slow never ending bleeding for first 3/4 of the played hours. Ton of spots where I 3bet or 3bet-call and flops come like these:

In this one actually called small stab on flop but folded turn. I could see we maybe should continue theory wise as how often we actually have any better? Well I would check range and very rarely raise so my range is postflop wise uncapped.

But yeah that type of flops also in lot of single raised pots with some really premium preflop hands. But as we all know in high SPR spots all hands are drawing hands in this game.

Then at the end got some nice ones in plo100 table, I raised BU and BB 3bet which was actually solver approved even though I did wonder if that was the case in game. Though KJ96ds was not 3betting anymore. I think opponent played well postflop x-c flop and x-r turn.

Then this happened few minutes after that previous pot. I were obviously very unhappy to see flop having 30% equity and same equity on turn opening another fd for villain. At this point I were just praying of somehow evading all the draws and BAM pot comes to me! WTF... Oh I made two pair...

This pot happened in plo50 table at same time as that AA hand. I open CO, BU 3bet, both blinds call. Thought I guess I peel flop as well with these pot odds. Flop comes nice with top pair and nfd. Went with pot lead to possibly get bunch of overpairs to fold. BU 3bet is actually solver wise fine but I would not go as low as 654 side cards.

So basically in 4 minutes I made suddenly 330€ profit and then had some smaller pots as well. That did bring my session roughly to breakeven but in last hands lost some back in somewhat of setup spots with top two and nfd in 3bet pot vs KK set on AKx flop. Then had board pair+overpair+fd+bdfd on 952 and went with bet-3bet in single raised pot. Run into top set so somewhat behind and didnt find suck out.

Anyway no poker today and tomorrow back to tables. Did visit local sightseeing spot for walk. Did look awesome with this very wintery snow cover on everywhere and river flooding somewhat. At some points water lever looked like it was possibly even above ground level where we stood. Probably wasnt but with water flowing above the ice at some points it really looked like it. Maybe should have took some pictures but what usually happens is those are just forgotten on the memory card for all eternity.

Btw that first hand with QT98ds in 4bet pot would be funky to make OOP float. Would be very optimistic and extremely likely it would fail. But if for fun we open the spot. In game I just snap folded but was thinking it bit later.

Opponent range has theory wise AA 81% of time. Most likely in reality closer to 90% but this guy was maybe capable of having at least some non AA 4bets. When he cbets JJJ what is he realistically trying to get value from when having AA or quads? Well AA I would shove pre as he is never folding anything pre anyway. So that leave KK, QQ as those have at least tiny equity vs AA. But how often my squeeze-call range actually has QQ or KK? Its very very rare but what does solver say:

So I filtered KK or QQ hands without AA. These hands in total cover 21.6% of my overall range and from those solver would call 17%. So 0.216*0.17*100=3.6% of overall range that comes to flop. Personally I would call even less as opponent is very often more AA heavy than solver assume and I think that still lowers EV of those calls reasonably. Then of course do we even call KK or QQ always on flop. Well price is 5bb for pot of 110bb so its kind of breakeven if we have 2 outs. But sometimes villain also has quads. I guess its tougher to say how often we have J on flop as there is already 3 of them on flop.

If I filter J!AA on solver we get 14.7% and from those 60.5% would call so 0.147*0.6*100=8.82%. But now to account flop having three we could perhaps divide that with 4 and say we have quads 2.2% of time? So ultimately we might have similar amount of overpairs and quads. With overpairs we might be looking for chance of being good in showdown if villain slows down. So if getting aggro later it would be quads or some funky float like we had in this case. Though we could at least have two bdsfd draw for fraction of more equity. Anyway very stupid spot to analyze but whatever

PS: I actually made mistake as obviously not all of non (KK, QQ)!AA range will continue either so its bit bigger part of the range that calls. But wont waste more time on this...

So yesterday was one of those dig hole and fill it sessions. There was this maniac at start for good while who 3bet-called absurd stuff and somehow always had two pair on flop versus me. Did manage to turn it to slight profit vs other players in the end. Anyway I thought to post few 4bet pots. Often these are spots where hands just play themself but sometimes potentially not as straightforward.

These few were from earlier day but kinda interesting to check.

Anyway sample of aggression on these tables. Sometimes hero might also get bit too aggro perhaps. Both pre and post I guess.

Recent raw recording. There are some time stamps in YT description to some potentially interesting spots:

This was kinda funny one. BU open, SB call and I am thinking on BB... Well this looks reasonable squeeze. Flop pot with SPR 1-2 even without much of blockers is probably okish. Flop is not hitting opponents that often though definitely 54 does offer bunch of draws.

This quy had been complete maniac 3betting bit earlier with 9543ss type stuff. Then we got to this massive action spot:

Watched the timestamps and they seem well played to me.

57:15 KQQ4ss: Could 3bet preflop, Turnfold seems reasonable without specific reads at these stakes especially against these big sizings.

2:07:00 Q776ds: I like a call (raise with an A).

2:44:11 AQ98ss bottom right: Very tempting call. Dont think we see 98 / bluffs often enough.

3:04:17 AT98ss outside table: Feels like okeyish showdown value.

This is what prime customer looks like:

Unfortunately sessions for while has been breakeven as I just keep losing so much of spots where hand just play itself. Its kind of frustrating but yeah part of variance. Obviously I have done few blunders of my own and there is lot of room to learn. I have tone down bluff catching but I think I should probably still find more folds versus some players. Like this was prime example yesterday where folding might be best vs tight opponent (I would have snap folded without two boat blockers):

Lof of lost pots from yesterday were like this:

But yeah there was some perhaps questionable ones.

Nasty day poker wise yesterday. This hand kinda nicely defines how it went.

For those curious as me, you had almost 10% equity on the flop! (9.88%)

Mood going up, bankroll going down...

Would have been justice suckout as that preflop play was such massive overplay

Today maniacs didnt do as well. But yeah this was quite a crazy hand:

This could be interesting one for some. We could lead flop or turn but for both option issue is our hand does not like board changing cards. So instead I went on turn also for x-r attempt. If we get to allin or very close to it river visibility matters way less.
