Hi guys. Summer has officially started for me. My poker tracking software is messing up with trying to update to the new Stars software, so I have just been lazy and not playing at all.

Once I resolve that, I will probably play lots this summer! :) Cheers everyone.

So I decided to download PokerTracker4 Beta as my new tracker. I like it!

I played around 2000 hands the past two days and am up $12 at Nl5 FR.

I have played pretty solid I think but maybe not as aggressively as I could be. I had a few nice hands where I really think I extracted maximum value.

So I guess this means you can expect some more graphs & hands on the way!

Cheers.

Just had about a 20 minute session before dinnerw ith fish tossing their money at me...I'll have to post some hands because it was so hilarious. I even had a bad beat in the mix (KK vs JJ) and still ended up $20 in the positive. Wonderful day for poker. It really makes up for those days when you run cold and when you catch a hand you still can't manage to win.

EDIT: Here's one of them

PokerStars - $0.10 NL ZOOM - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): $15.63
SB: $20.11
BB: $9.31
UTG: $5.00
UTG+1: $39.03
UTG+2: $4.53
MP: $24.53
MP+1: $12.51
CO: $22.72

SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has 5♣ 3♣

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.30, fold, BB calls $0.20

I raise here because the villain has very high VPIP and is 9/9 in folding to cbets. My plan is to bet absolutely any flop and expect to take down the pot.

Flop: ($0.65, 2 players) 2♣ 6♠ 7♥
BB checks, Hero bets $0.40, BB calls $0.40

I flop an OESD which is nice even though I planned to cbet regardless here.

Turn: ($1.45, 2 players) 8♣
BB checks, Hero bets $1.00, BB calls $1.00

He actually called the flop which means he must have something but now I have a monster draw. A turn cbet is easy here as he has very low WTSD % so I may take the pot here or hit my draw on the river.

River: ($3.45, 2 players) 9♣
BB bets $7.61 and is all-in, Hero calls $7.61

BB shows Q♦ 8♦ (One Pair, Eights) (Pre 62%, Flop 61%, Turn 66%)
Hero shows 5♣ 3♣ (Flush, Nine High) (Pre 38%, Flop 39%, Turn 34%)
Hero wins $17.83

I hit on the river and know I am only beat by a higher flush which makes absolutely no sense in this case. I just marked this guy and moved on with my life lol.

BTN: $4.64
Hero (SB): $10.00
BB: $3.23
UTG: $7.79
UTG+1: $7.85
UTG+2: $10.00
MP: $12.21
MP+1: $12.14
CO: $9.90

Hero posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has 7♥ K♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to $0.30, Hero raises to $1.10, BB calls $1.00, BTN calls $0.80

This player was already marked for some huge fishy plays. That is not the reason I 3bet though...they have an 85% fold to 3bet and their raise seemed weak. The 3bet in a vaccuum is a profitable play. This means I am doing it as basically a bluff with a hand that has potential to hit a nice flop. The BB comes along which really made this a difficult hand.

Flop: ($3.30, 3 players) K♦ 6♣ 5♠
Hero bets $1.80, BB raises to $2.13 and is all-in, fold, Hero calls $0.33

Bit of a tough spot here. I can be dominated, but against such a fish who I have seen bluff and call with absolute garbage I really have to bet the flop here against two opponents. Of course when they call I feel as though I may have leveled myself but the results were truly a WTF moment. I'm open to suggestions about how you as readers would have played this hand. I really like to cbet my KXs and AXs as well as PP from the blinds as long as the play is profitable. Then, I have the potential to hit big hands on the flop, cbet on appropriate boards, or fold if a really wet board OOP.

Turn: ($7.56, 2 players) 5♥

River: ($7.56, 2 players) 4♥

Hero shows 7♥ K♥ (Two Pair, Kings and Fives) (Pre 66%, Flop 96%, Turn 100%)
BB shows 8♥ 2♥ (One Pair, Fives) (Pre 34%, Flop 4%, Turn 0%)
Hero wins $7.22

Ok, so I 4bet because this guy is a pretty aggressive 3better (40% at the time) and he knows at least one of those players are weak. I am assuming I am ahead of his range because I think he makes this play with KQo+,KJs+, TT+ . Should I 4 bet bigger? He snap shoved which worried me a bit but I did have 2 blockers to premium hands. When he shoves, I don't think odds will let me fold and I was glad to see I was at least flipping with him. Luckily it ended up in my favour.

Flop: ($20.20, 2 players) T♥ 8♣ 4♣

Turn: ($20.20, 2 players) T♦

Hero wins $19.29

Is this a move you would have made? Why or why not?

I call because I am ahead of his (range ~20% PFR at the time) and in position.

Flop: ($1.30, 3 players) Q♠ K♥ 4♠
SB checks, MP bets $0.70, Hero raises to $2.10, fold, MP calls $1.40

I have gutshot, an over and backdoor flush draw. I would make this move frequently if it was 1 vs 1 but is this play too fancy in a 3 way pot?

Turn: ($5.50, 2 players) 2♣
MP checks, Hero checks

I check because I don't see him folding anything here on the turn because of the 2.

River: ($5.50, 2 players) 9♠
MP checks, Hero bets $3.30, MP raises to $9.25, fold

I go for this raise because I really repped the flush with the aggression on the flop. Is the sizing ok? Obviously when he reshoves i have to fold.

MP wins $11.56

Is this type of play just too fancy for NL 10 and 3 way?

K7 hand turn it into bluffcatcher imo. you beat few value hands, but you can pick a lot of bluffs vs such a player.

of course the spot kinda sucks and i'd prefer to make these light 3bets in position.

In the first hand.. (of the most recent post)

For the 40% 3bet to be relevant we need a rather decent sample, 8 times out of 20 on zoom doesn't tell us much, but he is also doing it from UTG+2...

On the other hand, it's an UTG minraise and a call, from people playing 52 and 24bb respectively... Hard to read that one, actually, even with a sample..

Anyway,

You're calling 7.65 into a pot of 12.40, not sure we've got the equity against the given range to call there..

Equilab tells me we've got 53.10% , with 46.71% to win and 6.39% for a tie..

We'd need what, 60% for the pot odds?

That said, not sure I'd fold, but I tend to never believe they have it when I play those levels, and just assume they're full of it.

Regards,
Richard

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has Q♦ J♦

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.30, MP+1 calls $0.30, fold, fold, fold, fold

This is actually a quite loose open from me, I have just recently had success with suited broadways so I decided to open it vs relatively tight opponents behind.

Flop: ($0.75, 2 players) T♦ T♥ 3♣
Hero bets $0.40, MP+1 calls $0.40

His fcbet was something like 85-90% so I was planning to cbet any flop as I believe it's profitable.

Turn: ($1.55, 2 players) A♦
Hero bets $1.00, MP+1 raises to $2.00, Hero calls $1.00

I pick up the gutshot + FD so I decide to barrel the turn. He min 3bets me and I really feel I have to call given implied pot odds if I catch a river.

River: ($5.55, 2 players) 9♦
Hero bets $3.00, MP+1 raises to $7.30 and is all-in, Hero calls $4.30

I hit, and though I fear the full house, I just really don't see him having AA. He can only really have AT 6 combos, and 33 (3 combos) that have me beat. Flush draw should never make it to the turn, as I expect him to mostly float his PPs in this spot.

MP+1 shows 5♣ 5♠ (Two Pair, Tens and Fives) (Pre 49%, Flop 64%, Turn 55%)
Hero shows Q♦ J♦ (Flush, Ace High) (Pre 51%, Flop 36%, Turn 45%)
Hero wins $19.24
yleI was super surprised when he flipped 55. He seems to be pretty TAGGY style so this play was strange. I marked it of course.

By the way, my session started 1st hand my KK vs AA to go down $10, but am now up $20 after 750 hands! =)

I considered a line like this. Honestly, these type of pots are why I have recently revamped my 3betting and 3b alot more in position now with marginal hands. It has really boosted my winrate! =)

Thanks for the feedback

EDIT:

Also to Richard, I just checked out the equilab and you're right. However, my range for him is probably too tight. Someone that aggressive is probably squeezing with some suited connectors and broadways as well which IMO makes the 4bet the right move.

However, about the call, I'm not sure we actually get the correct odds anymore after playing in equilab. But can we really 4b/fold our AK? Probably not. So then it circles back to do we 4bet at all? Maybe I should have just called and played OOP to see if he would continue his bluffs with low PPs, suited connectors and broadways.

This is my graph from the past few days of NL10.

The last bit I was playing too late at night and not thinking clearly so I quit. I play my best in the afternoons, so I need to stick to that!

JULY GOALS

[ ] Play 1,000 hands per day excluding Saturdays and Sundays. (20,000 by the end of the month since I started late)

Current: 5,000

[ ] Study for 5 hours per week. At least one video, one coaching, one article, and review 25 other members' hand evaluations.

Current: Watched a video, no coachings, no articles, around 6 reviews.

[ ] Post 2 hands per day to the hand evaluation forum & 50 by the end of the month.

Current: 5 or so

[ ] Make $100 this month

Current: Made $30

These goals are all very attainable and I believe following a routine will make me a better player. Now it's time to hit the tables!

See ya

Really messed up session. I started down $15, and then ended up over $15 up but finished (stupidly) $5 down. The last hand, I lost a full stack by flopping top set on a 3 heart flop and I 3bet then he went all in and I called. His flush stood. Poor play by me on that one. I wasn't feeling my A-game but I still played 1,200 hands. I showed good resilience by fighting back from that $10 downswing at the the start though!

Here's one hand I played. See what you guys think!

PokerStars - $0.10 NL ZOOM - Holdem - 9 players

BB: $8.09

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has K♦ Q♠

fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.30, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB calls $0.20

I enjoy opening KQ because I find I often have the best hand unless I am 3bet. People aren't actively 3betting me in position so it's +EV in my books.

Flop: ($0.65, 2 players) 6♠ Q♥ Q♦
BB checks, Hero checks

I catch so much of this board I check behind to induce a bet. I don't think there is too much for my opponent to call with except a pocket pair.

Turn: ($0.65, 2 players) T♥
BB bets $0.27, Hero raises to $0.90, BB calls $0.63

I reraise approximately 3X to see if he really has a hand here. Appropriate sizing?

River: ($2.45, 2 players) 3♠
BB checks, Hero bets $2.00, fold

I figure he has a solid hand to call my 3bet on the turn so I make a large river bet and he doesn't call unfortunately.

Hero wins $2.34

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also this hand:

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has K♥ K♣

fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.30, MP calls $0.30, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold

Standard.

Flop: ($0.75, 2 players) 3♦ 5♣ 5♥
Hero bets $0.40, MP calls $0.40

I bet small because the flop is so dry and want to get some value from weaker hands.

Turn: ($1.55, 2 players) J♥
Hero bets $1.00, MP calls $1.00

Flush draw pops up, but I'm still not scared so I make about a 2/3 pot size raise.

River: ($3.55, 2 players) 6♥
Hero checks, MP bets $2.54, Hero calls $2.54

This guy had shown lots of river aggression and tried making bluffs on "supposed" scare cards. For example, he tries to rep a flush draw here even though it makes no sense...

Spoiler

MP shows T♥ 7♥ (Flush, Jack High) (Pre 19%, Flop 6%, Turn 18%)
Hero mucks K♥ K♣ (Two Pair, Kings and Fives) (Pre 81%, Flop 94%, Turn 82%)
MP wins $8.24

Owait... =/

yeah this was kind of a sick hand but thoughts about how I played it regardless of results? Thanks.

Reraise flop I think. Opponent could easily have :club: :club: overcards you don't wanna let him see a cheap turn as this hand showed. Its pretty unlucky he hit his set though, would look like he hit with KJ :club:

Yeah I agree, that's the only other move I could have made. However, in position, I like to usually just call because that flop didn't hit his range strong enough IMO.

I was down $5 and was on tilt so I reviewed some hands and shut poker down.

But I suddenly felt an urge to play and felt super focused. Sure enough, I went back and made $45 more =) yaaay.

This hand sure helped. I nearly forgot about my old friend the overbet.

Flop the nuts vs more than one opponent. How wonderful! I bet half pot since I'm not scared of anything at the moment.

Turn: ($2.05, 2 players) 9♥

Beautiful, basically a blank by my books.

River: ($5.65, 2 players) 2♠
Hero bets $14.00, MP+1 calls $13.08 and is all-in

Another blank. Now he quickly called the turn so I know he's strong. He literally insta-calls this river with his hand. I loved every second of it :)

Thanks for the support Metza! I appreciate having viewers around for their input.

Here's another tricky hand that I'm unsure about.

fold, fold, fold, MP raises to $0.30, Hero raises to $0.90, fold, fold, fold, fold, MP calls $0.60

I know he can call worse here.

Flop: ($1.95, 2 players) J♣ 8♣ A♣
MP checks, Hero bets $0.93, MP raises to $3.00, Hero calls $2.07

Great flop for me. TPTK and nut flush draw. He c/rs me and I just call because I think he is pulling a move on me and want him to bluff the turn as well.

Turn: ($7.95, 2 players) J♠
MP bets $6.10 and is all-in, Hero calls $6.10

Here, I am unsure if calling is the right move here. He could potentially have JX in his range. At the time I sort of snap called, but I think it's pretty close.

River: ($20.15, 2 players) Q♦

Spoiler

MP shows T♥ T♦ (Two Pair, Jacks and Tens) (Pre 57%, Flop 7%, Turn 5%)
Hero shows A♠ K♣ (Two Pair, Aces and Jacks) (Pre 43%, Flop 93%, Turn 95%)
Hero wins $19.24

Hero raises to $0.35, fold, fold, fold, MP+1 raises to $0.60, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.25

Standard raise and then I am min-bet by a guy who has not 3bet in around 120 hands. I assume this is a monster KK or AA only basically so I call for set value.

Flop: ($1.35, 2 players) 4♠ 8♣ 5♥
Hero checks, MP+1 bets $0.64, Hero raises to $1.60, MP+1 raises to $4.10, Hero raises to $8.10, fold

I check raise him and when he reraised, I almost insta shoved. I REALLY assume he has KK or AA now. I thought I could call and let him raise the turn and THEN shove but he really wanted to get the money in, and it's actually a poor move and fold by him I think if he's already invested so many chips.

Hero wins $9.12

Suggestions on how to get him all in here?

About the last hand.

Well, I guess we shouldn't completely put it past him to have 67s in his 3b range, since it's zoom and all, 88's probably in there as well, but that's so very very few combinations.

It doesn't look like a shove, based on the numbers, though? Don't see much point making it 8.10 and leaving 3.50 back, there's no way we can ever get away even if called..

But yeah, almost always shoving here, for sure.. What was your train of thought though? Only assumed KK/AA, didn't consider 88 or 67s, which are both possible 3b hands in zoom, even if 88 might be slightly less likely vs an UTG open, but still a possible hand he'd 3b/fold, for sure.

It was mostly timing tells that told me it was a premium. He insta min 3bet. He insta reraised and all of that.

I think I should have just called his 3bet on the flop and let him continue on the turn and THEN shoved.

Just fought through an absolute battle of a session.

1,200 hands and nobody was reacting the way they normally would. Everyone was hitting the top of their ranges, my monsters received no action etcetc.

I was down 1BI ($10) after 1,199 hands and I get dealt AA.

"Great," I sigh, "Another hand that gets folded around to me."

I bet my 3BB and get reraised to $1 and another person calls, so I 4bet to 2.50 because the other guy was short and it may induce the original 3better (who has a fairly weak range imo as his 3bet is like 9-10%) to spaz or something.

So he spazzes all in and the other guy goes all in and I called to see AK and KK flip over. They don't hit their miracle shot on me and I end the session up $5.

Just goes to show that putting in volume and being patient truly is the only remedy if you're a winning player!

Cheers folks.

I ran $20 under EV today and made a pretty questionable shove and overall play here.

I assumed he would fold anything but AK, AA and KK (Slim chance of KQ calling OOP in my opinion). I was wrong.

This was a super spew. Although, both had over 85% of fold to 3bet. The guy who called had 90%.

I shouldn't make plays like this. Normally I will 3bet suited aces vs one opponent but I squeezed cause they had around 90% fold to 3bet.

Flop: ($3.45, 2 players) 2♠ 4♥ K♠

I assume he only continues with KK, AA and AK. I was wrong. Not sure what to do in this type of spot really. Shoving seemed like my only option. Calling makes no sense and folding felt too weak =/ .

UTG+2 wins $16.65

I guess just avoid squeezes like this in the first place? Or is it ok vs such high fold to 3bet?
