[Closed] NL SH Advanced by Sebra

I like the line in the third hand, it's something I do too mostly vs. a nitty opponent. Always works like a charm ♦

nice hands, ty

Hope that's the right thread

I played 4 tables of NL100 today and tried to focus especially on creating an aggressive postflop image in order to get more action on my strong hands later on. Unfortunately I was totally carddead, so that I just had to play a little tighter than expected.
But we still had a few interesting Hands involved:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2864208

The hand was played at the beginning of the session and I was trying to build my maniac image.
Villain is a TAG and I know from my Holdem Manager Stats, that he is 3betting a very wide range >10%. Also I am expecting to cbet such a board very often.
I think he is going to call my shove with JJ+, AJ, 77, 33 for a total Range of 2,5%

So if he 3bets a Range of 10%, I expect him to fold here ~75% of the time.
If I get called I'll have ~12,36% Equity
My total EV is:

EV = 0.75 * 40$ - 0,25 * 0.876 * 87$ + 0.25 * 0.124 * 111.5$ ~ 30$ - 19$ + 3,5$ = 14,5$

So with all my assumptions this move is heavily +EV!

Another interesting hand:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (6 handed) Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($119.40)
Button ($19.60)
SB ($46.35)
BB ($37.80)
UTG ($100)
Hero ($105.20)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 8♥, 8♦.
Hero raises to $3.5, CO calls $3.50, 3 folds.

Flop: ($8.50) 2♠, J♠, 2♦ (3 players)
Hero bets $5, CO raises to $16, Hero calls $11.

Turn: ($40.50) 7♦ (3 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $34, Hero raises to $85.7 (All-In), CO folds.

Final Pot: $108.50

Villain is an overaggro TAG here.

I expect him not too raise a J very often on the Flop. So his Range is (Semi-)Bluffs a very rare deuce and sometimes a slowplayed AA/KK.
Having such a polarized Range is usually a leak you can heavily exploit as the weak hands are just so much more likely. So here I'm going for the Turn check/raise with my eight's, as I'm good against the Flushdraw, which is a huge part of his Range.

I played 4 tables of NL100 again at sebra's coaching and was able to end up winning about one stack.
Even though I was kinda carddead most of the time I still played a very nice straightforward tight aggressive game, with ~20/18 stats.

We had alot of preflop action including loose 3bets and facing loose 3bets, but unfortunately only a few huge postflop spots.
Here is one of the more difficult ones:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (6 handed) Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($106.90)
BB ($117.90)
UTG ($98.80)
Hero ($101.50)
CO ($100)
Button ($132.20)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K♣, A♦.
1 fold, Hero raises to $3.5, 1 fold, Button calls $3.50, SB calls $3, 1 fold.

Flop: ($11.50) K♠, 7♦, Q♠ (3 players)
SB bets $8, Hero calls $8, Button folds.

Turn: ($27.50) 5♠ (2 players)
SB bets $20, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $27.50

Villain is running 20/6/1,3 over 150 hands at this spot.
He was super tight postflop and folded to 80% of the cbets, so I see him being very strong here.

On the Flop I don't want to raise, because I thinks I'm going to isolate myself against better hands that was. So I called, even though I offered the 3rd player great odds that way.

Turn even completes the Flushdraw and I'm beating almost nothing out of his bet/bet range, so I decide to fold.

Been doing this weeks coaching again, playing 4 tables of NL100 at Titan Poker.
Session started out kinda boring, since people gave me alot of credit and never played back. But that changed as I started out getting loose and aggro stealing their blinds.
Here is an example of how important hand reading can get:

Villain was 19/16/2,8 on ~400 Hands so definately a competent regular.
So what kind of range is he raising on the flop?
There is absolutely nothing he can represent. There is almost no 3 in his range and he might even be slowplaying that one.
I don't expect him to raise a Hand like AJ/AT here, he'd rather go for potcontrol with it.
AK/AQ/AA is very unlikely because of his preflop play, too. So I expect him to have a bluff super often and decided to rebluff, which worked out perfectly

Ya, this was probably one of the most exciting coachings I ever had! Played 4 tables of NL100 on Titan, like always. And we really had great discussions there about things like continuation betting vs taking a freecard, how to play guys 3betting you alot and how to hero call ♦

Villain started out super aggro. He's repping a set/straight/5x here, but given the way he played so far I think he is going to have a pure bluff >33% of the time. A-high is more likely to check the river, so I think you can almost treat KJ as AA in this spot!
