Yesterday i played well and i think i played my a-game the hole session, but in the last hand when i was blinding out there was a cooler that ruind my hole session

This was the hand against an 25-20-5 player:

Hey there!

You probably get more value from raising the flop than the turn in this spot. The reason is because on the flop you can represent some flush draws occasionally, some medium pair that wants to take end the hand here and now or with a good enough image, even overcards.

After cbetting 3way and barreling the turn your opponent doesn't have many Ax or better combos so you just throw him off hands by raising instead of getting value.

May I ask what was your thinking during this whole hand for all streets before getting all in?

Perhaps you could post graphs without EV-line and rakeback.
Add showdown winnings instead

TNX for your feebback odacha, from now I will do!!

Emanuel, this was I thinking,: I have the nuts so i have to slowplay it a bit and hope he will hit something on later streets so i can get in in.

Your IP! Slowplay til river. Raising turn is by far the worst imo. He can value bet a pari between TT and KK easily there which folds on the turn. He can have flushdraws barreling to make you fold some middle pairs. When you raise all of that fold and you get it in vs strong ace or better.

Tnx Emanuel, i tested it in this hand:

New line for playing the nuts IP against an aggro villian, c/c flop c/c turn and bet river

last month i made the switch from FR to SH, I started at 10NL and i had an pretty hard time because of the (semi) regs there

This is the graph with a big downswing , couple of times KK>>AA PF AI and sometimes I paid with TP vs set

So I had to step back to 6NLSH, and I also read many bronze and silver strategy artikels and there is an weekly SH coacing in the dutch community that im following

This was the result of the effort i put in my game playing at 6NL

Next month my goal is to beat 10NLSH

Mach started verry wel, I played a session 10NL, were I was 2 BI up in 200 hands

Goals 2012:

Max play 25K hands, only A-game!!!
Max 6 tables!
25K hands is about 50$ rakeback
Follow public coaching on weakly basis.
Winrate, doesn't matter, I hope it is beter then BE

In this hand I battle with a 14-12-3 (reg) Who is stealing 30% from the CO , I don't 3bet in this spto to keep his total range in, his fold to 3bet is like 90%

Welcome to the english community! If you need any help just ask!

When he checks that flop as pfr he will try to bluffcatch so bomb him. Your flop bet is OK but turn is way too small. Bet like 1.75 at least and shove any river.

If he doesn't bluffcatch you can note that he c/f's air as pfr on Axx. You will know you can bluff all your air in that spot and that you won't get too much value with your made hands.

Btw, sent you a friend request in the community tool.

Tnx for the warm welcome and Emanuel i accepted it!

Today I played a session were I was 1BI up, could have been 3

Major leak imo

Second hand (34s)

Preflop: fold or 3bet (folding is better) but calling is the worse option. You rarely will get a good flop, you flop a shitty pair or a flushdraw.

As played~
Flop: Raise it very big, like you having a set, and won't fold to shove. Don't raise small because they can call for implieds. So I would raise to $4-5.

TNX, I thought that I could outplay the reg

Is there a good SH coaching in the Enlish community?

Can you guys take a look at my openranges? Maybe you see something strange:

UTG: 6,80% 55+, AJs+, AQo
MP: 11,60% 44+, ATs+, AJo+, KQ, KJs, 98s+
CO: 27,00% 22+, A2s+, A9o+, K8s+, KTo+, 54s+, 76o+, T8s+
BU: 36,65% 22+, A2s+, A2o+, K2s+, KTo+, QTo+, Q8s+, 54s+, 76o+, T8s+
SB: 22,50% 22+, A2s+, A8o+, KTs+, KTo+, QTs+, QTo+, JTs, JTo, T9s

Is about 20%

Is this standard in A 3-bet pot? Against an 60-20 player with aggro factor 2.8
