        Worth a look

        I was bored so I calculated the different stakes at Ipoker (in euros):

        NL15
        NL20
        NL24
        NL38
        NL50
        NL59
        NL76
        NL100
        NL118
        NL150
        NL200
        NL236
        NL303
        NL400
        NL471
        NL455 (NL$600 is apparently lower than NL£400)
        NL600
        NL693
        NL693 (even if NL$1k and NL£600 are the same moneywise there's a notable difference because of the $3/£3 rake cap)
        NL1000

        This could be really practical if there was more game volume so that there wouldn't be any real reason to take "shots", you could follow a more smooth transition from stakes to stakes.

          Its tough from having a run where i won every session or maybe small loss to a 10 buy in down swing no matter how much you are expecting it. Its actually hard not to let it effect your personal life when you shut the laptop off.

            For sure. When I was playing 400nl a couple of years back I used to have the stanley blade ready after -$2.5k days. Impossible to just switch off and enjoy the rest of your day, for me anyway. Just gonna keep to ssnl this time around.

              Some metagame developing at 20nl!

              I knew that he knew that I knew that he was trying to steal the extra blinds, really thought he'd fold to the shove though!

                  How do ya proceed here?
                  SB is a standard shortie 3b shoving over 20% of btn opens.
                  Btn is a bit spewy. Has 3b my MP open with JKo and got it in on J high fd flop
                  Also 5b KQs vs me btn vs blind without much need to.

                        Also this one. We've been at each other a little bit to date. The previous orbit I 3bet him with AA, flopped top set and check, check-call, check shoved river to which he folded. Earlier in the session I c/c flop oop with bottom pair, he checked turn and I c/r bluffed river to which he folded.
                        His stats are 19/16/3.6. Fold to 3b 45% and fold to cbet in 3b pot 52%. All over very large samples.
                        Like I dont see what he can have on the river for value? I guess TT, 77, 89 got there. But he should have a bunch of missed draws and maybe some double floats?

                          I'd call the first one and the 2nd one I would need to get a feel for the player as to wether I call or not.

                                  Ya noticed that now dont have a clue how i pulled that off guess the copy/paste messed up. I have about 5 cooler type hands from last nights session but wont bother posting many as there essentially bad beats.

                                  My main reason for posting was going to be to discuss all in ev and how much value to place on it. I have been running a nice amount above ev in the 300k hands ive played this year. I would not consider that im very lucky tho as ive been running bad in other spots. I guess the 5 or 6 hands that i was going to post from a sample of 1200 hands where i offically ran 1 buyin above ev but in realistic terms i was coolered by fish 6 times and none of this is taken into account.

                                  I find my all in ev effect me a little when it seems like i run like god when i really feel like that my results are an honest reflection.

                                    Looking back on it i said the same thing. But then again its not the most wonderfull hand to get a fish all in with on the river unless i hit the 8 or j like i did.

                                        Not sure how i feel about this one going to throw it up as im not sure what the optimal line is.

                                        Its not a line i take very often i was running pretty good aswell not that it matters but just encouraged a gamble.

                                        My thoughts

                                        Pre - ok

                                        Flop - Is a shove better? I dont think calling is that bad?

                                        Turn - 2 options really shove or check fold? Cant really check call or shoving over a bet is pointless really. There surely a small bit of fold equity there along with having a relatively strong draw.

                                            Is it the BTN that has the 15/8 stats if so it musnt be over a big sample as id say that its a stretch to have KTo in his calling range there. In this spot i can only see him having made hands as you have a lot of blockers to the combo draws he could have like QsJs, AsQs etc.

                                                    That's such a weird spot

                                                    Comment


                                                      Its the fact that I know he is actually very good makes me think he is capable of turning something into a bluff here.

                                                      My questions would be:

                                                      Surely my overbet to him is pretty polorazied to something like Kx, 77, maybe a 55 (but then KQ is the same as 55 almost) or total air, so in that case if hes got an A he is better to just call?

                                                      If that is his line of thought, would he really try to make me fold a K?

                                                      And wtf do we call with here if we are thinking of folding KQ? If he thinks that there are no hands in my range that can call then hes printing money here as I dont have AA or AK to often against this guy here, so if we fold KQ there are like barely any hand combos we call with?

                                                          Because how often do we get to try and hit a royaler?

He's very nitty but he's still on the button, if he shows up with two pair here we can also sometimes be against dominated draws, though I'd expect him to have either not particularly often but some of the time. I also think we have little FE, but not none, we don't know how he plays post flop. This is a wet board, he may be raising a bare top pair because he doesn't wanna get sucked out on against two players and will fold it to a cold shove or some logic like that, without more info I'm not willing to rule out him folding here or us getting it in ahead enough of the time to make up for the times we're 2/1 v a set.

                                                            1 is a call. He can have TT, JJ and possibly spazzy stuff like A9

                                                            2 I prefer to squeeze than try and play this 4 way oop. I would often lead the flop as it will get checked through a ton. Shit spot on the river. The one draw got there and his bet sizing is pretty scary. All we beat in his value range on the river is 56, chop with AJ and lose to 55,66 and 78. Combo wise we're only ahead 25% of his value ones and he shouldn't have too many bluffs so its a fold.

                                                              Yeah he's got maximum 16 combos for value here (TT,88,KT) and surely close to that many bluff, semibluffs which we crush. Even against the value hands we've 40% and there's a ton of money in the middle already. Really easy shove imo.

                                                                  Turn - 2 options really shove or check fold? Cant really check call or shoving over a bet is pointless really. There surely a small bit of fold equity there along with having a relatively strong draw.

The one thing i will say is what if he bets $25 on turn ? Im really bad in these spots where im not sure should we be folding or is the draw to good.

                                                                    Oh yes i should mention to others the hand sample is small 250 hands i think.

                                                                                My questions would be:

                                                                                Surely my overbet to him is pretty polorazied to something like Kx, 77, maybe a 55 (but then KQ is the same as 55 almost) or total air, so in that case if hes got an A he is better to just call?

                                                                                If that is his line of thought, would he really try to make me fold a K?

                                                                                And wtf do we call with here if we are thinking of folding KQ? If he thinks that there are no hands in my range that can call then hes printing money here as I dont have AA or AK to often against this guy here, so if we fold KQ there are like barely any hand combos we call with?
                                                                                The main issue for me here is that your perceived range should be extremely strong. For him to shove he will almost always be nutted or extremely close to nutted. Just because someone reps a narrow range doesn't mean they can't have it.
                                                                                Looking for full or part time poker and betting writers. PM if interested.

                                                                                  2nd hand I can never see my self folding it but I am not mad about calling it. His bet sizing is very very strong looking. Also from having played a lot of rush it probably plays like 1 level higher than other sites against the regs as they are all very very good at 1/2 anyway.

                                                                                  Like when you look at his range for betting that exact flop and firing all 3 streets there. The only hand we beat that he bets for value is 56. 55, 66 and 78 all got there. Like if hes taking a stab at that pot with J9+ hes gonna slow down on the turn. Most players don't bet their 1 pair hands when an A comes on the turn. We will split this pot a decent amount as well. The more I think about this hand and the way it has played out, I think its actually a very tight fold.

                                                                                  Basically for us to call here, he needs to have a lot of air in his range as his value range totally crushes us.

It was the CO that opened but the btn that is doing all the action after that. Btn will have a ton or pair hands and SCs hands in his range, Most people are 3betting AK and AQ as the button against a CO open so I think hes going to have a bit of a stronger range here.

Top pair turned trips is very likely and I can't see him folding that, put it this way, would you bluff shove here to try and make him laydown A2? You might even get him to call with something totally weird on a "I don't think he has that ace so I must be good!" line of logic depending on the opponent of tournament, as is said he's almost never bluffing the turn and we're crushing him bar a real cooler, so get it in when he's most likely to stack.
