Challenge - "1 year until reaching and winning at NL 50" !!!

Board is loaded with made straights or flushes. Very had for me to fold in this spot, but I think that it is the correct play. Because the board is so drawy, it is a great spot to bluff, but at NL 5 do player bluff such spots often?

HAND 2)
This one isn't so clear. If the check OTT was to induce a bluff OTR, it succeeded.
If it is because you wanted to see a cheap showdown it failed (sort of)

We're asked to put 1.15 into a pot of 2.43
So we get 3.58 out if we win, for a cost of 1.15, so our exact pot odds are 3.11:1

Let's make it easy for the next part, and round this off to 3:1
We exactly break even if we win once out of every 4 times -- or 25% of the time [1]

So if opponent can bluff here more than once out of 4, we'll win long term.

I apologize if you knew all this already.
I realized I had forgotten it, so I had to do it from scratch.

[1] the exact number for this hand is 24.3%

Thanks my friend

HAND 1) i think it's a fold , and i fold it

HAND 2) i think i can't fold ....and i call

Results : Hand 2 the vilan has a flush...but i think at that price i can't fold .

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!

I LOVE IT !!!

Wow!
The best I've done from those is $1 cash

UPDATE JULY !

BRM INITIAL = 402 Euros

HANDS played in July -> 28445
BRM July = -12 (on the tables) +124 (rakeback)
= 112 Euros up

--> Less ZOOM
--> NL5 regular tables controlled

****************************************
UPDATE 2ª MONTH COMPLETED !

BRM INITIAL of the challlenge = 400 Euros
BRM after 2ª month = 514 Euros (+114 since begining)

****************************************
GOALS for August
-> NL5 and ...NL10 same pace
-> Some Zoom NL2 to put some more volume if needed.
-> Study 3 bet pots in detail

Yeah, fast-fold poker is fantastic.
You can l̶o̶s̶e̶  play 4 times as many hands in an hour!

What have you noticed about playing fast-fold compared to regular-table poker?

more hands per hour , more excitement.

but ...i know !!!! ZOOM/SNAP is obvious more difficullt to beat !

-> we can't choose players to play
-> bad players are ..Better in this format because they can fold(some garbage) and have another hand to play imediatly...

i know all of that..but.....thr adrenaline in this format are awesome.....i will see....when i have 1h30 to play....i play regular tables ...when i have less ...i play Zoom/fast

hand 1 i would fold turn fold river, hand 2 i would bet turn, he can easily have just Qx Jx or Tx with one pair.

vamo guerreiro!!!!

i'm in!

Hands to reviewe

1) PF , FLOP and TURN i think ok. River i think i may prefer fold because the population not bluff enought in river ....i think .

River: (€0.60, 2 players) 3♣:

2) PF i call because the open raiser is a fish so i thinkl if i 3-bet he will call and the pot increase desnecessary . The other player who call is a fish too.
Flop i think i can push but with another player in the hand and to low the variance i think call is ok.
Turn i think it's a fold (it is a pity)

First hand:
I prefer to bet the turn as well.
When you do so, you often get a cheap river.
I know a lot of people are betting 1/3 pot on such turns, I prefer 1/2 pot.
It gives you more authority.
If opponent actually does check the river, you have showdown value enough to check behind.

Haha was reading through the hands and had exactly the same thought as Vorpal! Bet turn for hand 1 and decide on check behind river!

Hand 2 I would not sooo easy say fold:
Villain only has 6.4BB behind, so you can super easily calculate the pot odds:
You need to bring 1.20€ to get him all in to win 0.60€ Pot (from the flop) plus his 1.20€
So, you need to win exactly 1.20:(1,20+0,6+1,2 =3) 40% of the time to make money.
You most of the time have 2 (J) + 9 (flush) outs, which gives you 11 out of 46.
Well..not even 25% ...so, good fold!

Last hand: you already overbet, he still raises... so, ...you are not good.

Update

still good

Next 5K hands i will play only NL5.

Looks like that is also where the money is made at for you - NL5! Well, actually NL2 has a higher $-hourly but you obviously also want to improve your skillz.
