Hello all!

I played this hands on PartyPoker, so I haven't stats of my opponent. It's my second day in the poker roomm so I haven't got notes neither.

PartyGaming - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 124.6 BB
Hero (SB): 100.4 BB
BB: 173.8 BB
UTG: 312.8 BB
CO: 134.4 BB

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♣ K♠

fold, CO raises to 3 BB, fold, Hero raises to 11 BB, fold, CO calls 8 BB

My standard 3B size OP is 3,5x, IMO there is nothing wrong here.

Flop: (23 BB, 2 players) Q♣ A♥ T♠
Hero bets 12 BB, CO raises to 46.4 BB, Hero calls 34.4 BB

Flop is not great, not terrible. When it comes to setting ranges, I am a beginner and often only think of hand that beat me. Here is the widest range I can think of:


Asztal: A♥T♠Q♣
       Részesedés   Nyert  Osztozás
SB         47.21%  37.30%     9.90% { AcKs }
BB         52.79%  42.89%     9.90% { AA, QQ, TT, ATs+, KJs+, QJs, AJo+ }

I only need 30% to call, but I am not sure. Should I push instead?

Turn: (115.8 BB, 2 players) 2♦
Hero checks, CO bets 77 BB, Hero calls 43 BB

Nothing changes. I think he would check behind with the pair + GS type of hands, except AK and AKs.


Asztal: A♥T♠Q♣ 2♦
       Részesedés   Nyert  Osztozás
SB         26.95%  14.18%    12.77% { AcKs }
BB         73.05%  60.27%    12.77% { AA, QQ, TT, AQs+, ATs, KJs+, AQo+ }

As played I need 21% to call, so my value is pretty thin. Can I fold here or it's a no brainer?

What's your opinion all in all?

+1: Any ideas how can I change language in Equilab??

I think that the Q♣:A♥:T♠: fits your hand very well.
You have top pair, top kicker, and a redraw to the nut straight.

+1: Any ideas how can I change language in Equilab??

If you are talking about standard Equilab, then it appears that the language the it installs with is the default language of your computer.
The only way I can think of to install under a different language is to:
:diamond:  Uninstall Equilab
:diamond:  Set the default language of your computer to the desired Equilab lanugage
:diamond:  Install Equilab
:diamond:  Set the default language back.

This seems like a lot of work.
I interrupted the install process, it it seems that it might be possible to trick Equilab into installing with s different language, but that would involve editing the setup config file -- which would be fraught with peril.

I'll bump this request up the ladder to see if an answer can be found ...

Thank you, I will try this! I want to post more to the hand discussion thread, I won't be popular if I use hungarian language here :f_biggrin:

I asked the other mods for ideas, and one was:

The only thing I can think of is to uninstall then re-install. The very first popup on the install is the language selection.

This is correct I did not uninstall first, but I can confirm that the first dialogue is language selection.
If you re-run the install package, you get two options: Modify or Repair (as well as uninstall)
Neither Modify nor Repair allows you to change the language.

If you DO decide to uninstall, be sure to preserve and user-defined ranges that you have created
You can find these in the folder:
%localappdata%\Equilab
The file is called PreflopUserdefined.ini (the .ini part might be hidden)
Just save this somewhere, and put it back when you're done.

Cheers,
VS

this is a great flop for your range, but you have to be rather careful with your particular hand.

you're ahead of villain's pair+gutshots and Axs, but they can also have all the two-pair and straights.
i agree with your general pessimism for this spot, and you are most likely not in good shape against a reg's raise here. it's not natural for most regs to find bluffs in this board.

imo this flop plays best as a "bet 1/3 with our entire range" strategy. if we want to use a bigger sizing, then this might work as a check sometimes (intending to call down our entire stack on most runouts)
