    I agree with this.

    When you say CBet in the first hand do you mean donk bet when we are oop?

    Edit: do you mean the 66 hand?

      Im generally the pfr, 65% cbet has been working fine at 50NL, would be nice to get some extra ammo in against the regs tho. Ive been struggling a bit whenever I move up, running bad aswell in fairness. Also I've just checked my stats, seems my c/r is actually at 5% so may just have been a small sample size from the datamining villain.

      Have generally been c/raising sets, overcard+draws as in BLs example, small to medium pairs on low flops, like c/raising light on the turn (ty beluga) and will nearly always c/raise from ep in multiway raised pots. Enough?

        I would check raise as the PRF <1% and its mainly vs aggro fish

        Whats your preflop stats? I remember playing vs you a few yrs ago on ipoker and you were ridic tight. But I think you were under rolled?

        Just remember, raising a cbet and c/r should be treated differently. Generally I will have a higher raise cbet % as I have position and its so hard for the villain to continue. I will raise cbets with sets, draws, overpairs, gutshots, over cards, weak made hands etc..

        I will c/r using the same kind of hands too, but not with the same frequency as they can call/float alot easier and it can be difficult to play the rest of the hand OOP.

        I also recommend introducing donking to your game as regs really dont know how to deal with it. You have to me prepared to fire 2-3 barells.

        Also, I wouldn't just blindly apply these 'theorems' to you game. If you learn how to hand read better and learn from experience you will be better able to identify these spots yourself and also realize the certain caveats associated with them.

          Cheers for that, playing 21/17/3. As far as the theorems go, I had been doing a lot of it before anyway, certainly helped me get extra value out of houses and put words onto other things I had been doing.

            Without a doubt they do help put into words what you have seen and generally make you more aware of it. I am just saying not to be too reliant on it and realize that there is no real blanket statement that can be applied to poker.

              I think 65% cbet is leaving a ton of money on the table. Generally you'll find you acheive a 50% fold to cbet meaning even in a vacuum with no equity it's profitable. Checking stuff like good ace highs back is overated as it opens you up to getting bluffed. Without reads to the contrary I'd be cbetting 95% of the time in heads up pots.

                I think at 50nl this is very good advice especially if you pick good spots to fire 2 and 3 barrels. I don't like checking back flops just because we've marginal showdown value. If it'd be a profitable c-bet with air it'd sure as hell be a profitable bet when we can actually sometimes get called by worse and folding out opponents decent equity share in the pot is never a bad thing. It also just makes us harder to play against.

                        Bet the flop for God's sake! As played raise the turn, the aim here is trying to get his stack but you're not building the pot at all. Meh folding looks ok on the river but getting there that way is the main problem in the hand.

                          Villian is 35/30 with a 3b of 18 over 50 hands. He has generally been very aggressive. Is calling down the right line or should i just raise the flop or turn?

                                Andy: What zuutroy said. You MUST bet that flop imo. You're cbetting 100% of the time with AJ and air hands, so do it when you flop a beautifully disguised monster. I suppose i'd fold the river as played, but i'd swear a lot at myself for letting that situation arise.

                                Shano: Looks fine, he has a lot of air in his range here so calling down looks nice.

                                    Hero is a friend of mine, hes a pretty big winner on PTR and would probably have a Laggy image. Hes a 2knl reg and does play higher. Villan is Foxwoodfiend who I wouldn't have much reads on but is/was a coach for DC.

                                    Surely this is pretty spewy from the hero here?

                                      Looks pretty crazy alright Digi, unless they have a ton of history or something.

                                      Both looks like they're trying to induce each other to raise on the flop, weird hand.

                                          Just a general question. Game has gone 4 handed. UTG is a solid enough player and hasn't been getting his chips in with anything ridiculous so far. He has been raising with rundows aswel as premiums. Only top 2 paid.

                                          Id this an insta fistpump ship?
                                          Call and ship any part of the flop i connect with?
                                          Fold?
                                          I reckon UTG calls here >90% of time pf?
                                          Does my hand lose much value because of the 3 suits, or would it gain much extra value if it was double suited?

                                                  Emmet, raise or fold pre. Your limp raise is really terrible.

                                                        It could be just variance. Post up some of your biggest loosing hands.

It's really something I never kept track of. Probably just gonna be slumming it at ssnl for awhile until I learn how to play again.

                                                                  Comment

You read a book and the writer touches something in you that you would not have brought out of yourself. He makes you discover something interesting in your life. If you are living like an animal, what is the point? What makes the day interesting is that we try to transform it into something that is close to art." - Arsene Wenger

You also get v good rb, but have to put up with lots of nits, shorties and regs. If you want to go smaller sites you have to put up with less liquidity, and often the games can be just as tough. I play b2b mostly, and some of the regs are quite good, and it suffers from a lack of fish. Only a handful of shorties on the site though, and lots of very mediocre regs. I dunno about other sites.

If he called the turnbet I'd probably check/call the river because I don't think he calls 3 streets with anything except for a ten, 88, KQ or maybe KJ.

                                                                                              I like the check on the river after you've checked the turn, he can bet some flushdraws he's picked up on the turn which he might bluff the river with too, he might bluff with QJ too or bet for value with worse kings. I think shoving is a bit thin after he's bet the turn.

                                                                                                          I'm working full time, no plans to change that unless I take down the Irish Open. I guess I am moving up!! Played some 5/10 and 10/20 the other night when there was a very good spot in the game, but in general I guess I have been pretty selective with games I have been playing when taking shots at higher levels such as 2/4hu and 6max. 100nl HU has been my bread and butter for the last few months and I am basically crushing that pretty well at the moment. For heads up it can be pretty much impossible to play anyone at 100nl to 400nl so I just load up a bunch of HU tables across the limits at 4 sites and play whoever sits in.

                                                                                                          I have about another 1k to go before I get out of a $13.5k downswing so bankroll is only getting back together again as I only had about $2k in my roll about 6 weeks ago. If I had of busted in that downswing I doubt I would have played semi-seriously Like I have been for the last 2 years.

                                                                                                          I am looking forward to posting that graph were I was basically at the peak in poker winning to losing $13.5k over about 80k hands or so. Hopefully I will be posting next month but seeing as I have said this I will no doubt have jinxed it and cue another 5 figure downswing.

I've pegged it back a little bit recently but it's still a crazy statistic. It goes to show how long you have to play for for your stats to average out.

I read that shortstacking can be profitable in rush. Might be a good idea to drop limits and take out any frustration after getting mugged in a big pot at your regular limits in regular speed games.
