My 6 max numbers

Haven't played for a few days, but here is a hand from one of my last sessions. Would be interested in your comments. Hopefully i post this in the right format.

One of my leaks that get a lot with Leakbuster is that my aggression is a bit too low. i have been trying to work on this, but a hand like this is a good example of situations i find myself in, and am unsure what to do.

For some reason i was having trouble getting the "spoiler" thing to work. Can post hand villian showed up with after a few responses or something.

It's not a case of having a desired amount of 'aggression', as with everything it all depends on specific situations and the opposition.
Rather than worrying about your level of aggression, think about what your opponent could have and then act accordingly

With the example, do you think you have the best hand here? Your beating everything but a straight, and the villain's check raise on the flop discounts either QK or 88. K Q is the only hand that makes sense and that is extremely unlikely.

Theres nothing more aggressive you can do pre flop and on the flop (I will let others argue whether to call or fold here) and for me as soon as the Jack hits on the turn I'm thinking my top set is good. Whether we get more value by raising on turn or river depends on our opponent. A raise on the river should be the minimum here.

When i hit a set on the turn, my initial thought was to raise/get it in, but as i started going thru hands that he could have, for some reason kept thinking KQ was a possibliity, so i elected to just call. but if i'm going to call a river bet , then seems like getting it in on the turn would be a better option.

Unfortunately he did show up with KdQd.

Here is another hand where i just feel like i played it too passively.

Cool, thx for the feedback. appreciate it.

My 2 questions here are about betting the turn, and river bet sizing?

Villians stats are: 23/17 AF 3.2 Fold to 3 bet 69%, Fold to c-bet in 3bet pot 33%.

Here is why i love playing on Bovada. elected not to bet flop, but had the idea i might be able to induce him to do something on the turn. turns out i was right, but not sure if it was the best play.

For the last couple of months i have switched sites, and now primarily play on Bovada. At first i had no way to track my hands or stats, but i picked up something called Bovada Hand History Converter. so i finally am able to see stats, graphs, review hands for myself.

I am winning on the site at a pretty decent clip, and have a sample size of about 13k hands now. it has definitely been an adjustment on the site due to the anonymous tables, (no hud), and the fishy no fold em' type play.

So when i run Leakbuster i'm getting about 5 "Critical" leaks, which makes me feel fishy, but they are mostly related to finding more bluffing spots, double barreling opportunities, and flop aggression. i do feel i was playing a little too fit or fold, so have tried to open it up a little bit, but against players that just don't fold, i don't want to go too crazy.

things like my W$WSF, flop aggression, and agg % and river agg % are all too low.

i'm hoping the stats will start to even out a little bit. but the good news is that i am winning. so hoping i can adjust a little bit more and squeak out some more profit.

Well, was having my best month ever and unfortunately had an epic collapse in the end. Still finished up a bit, but down quite a bit from where i was.

going to try and spend alot of time this month working on equity, and hand ranges, etc.

Still a few leaks to work out from what i am getting in Leakbuster. i think my sample size is still a bit small to be super accurate, but i think there are definitely some situations where i am playing a bit too passively.

Going okay this month. up a few buy ins so far, but haven't played a ton of hands. Have been trying to focus on getting better at equity and hand ranges. Picked up Flopzilla, and have been using that quite a bit, and doing some stuff with Ace Poker Drills also.

Had this fun little hand the other day. This guy was literally doing this with every hand. Kind of an aggravating strategy to play against.

This is a Bovada hand, so i don't have any stats to share, and it takes a day or so to get the HH's, so i don't quite remember my read on him too well.

Just curious what you guys are doing on the turn here?
