Simply posting the shear variations of my play and why it gets me over paid... This first is simply my first hand of one if the two I’m playing. Nice when they aren’t threatened in the most draughting of multi-way scenarios.... That said I now tap cash out if it’s both all in pre and it’s my buy in rather than accumulated profits.

Preflop I’m not sure about 4-betting TT, even considering that ranges are wider when BU x BB, at cash tables most of times players aren’t 3-betting light or with junk.
Okay that on the flop we hit a set, and this is very awesome, but that won’t happen frequently, and most of times we are going to play a 4-bet pot where we will face some Ax, Kx, Qx or Jx (more than 50% of times), and when we won’t face overcards, we are fighting against AK, AQ, KQ, KJ, etc.
On the flop we must’ve been c-betting more often, to 1/3 pot, 1/4 pot to protect our range of the draws and to begin to charge and extract value of Ax, for there are many of them in a 4-bet pot.
On the turn this 8c doesn’t matter and then we bet and villain raises: we are not expecting villain to raise here, for now there’s only AA that have us beat and we don’t believe villain has it.
As long as villain made this huge blunder of raising turn as a defender in a 4-bet pot OOP, even better for us!
It’s amazing how players are weak on their readings and actions, because raising AJ on the turn is very optimistic (fishy).
It villain had both of diamonds combos, I would be on board of raising/jamming this turn, and we would’ve lost twice. But this was a very weak move from villain and good to us.

If we are opening K7s from MP, I wonder our range from BU... (?)
I’m going to note that we are first raising using weak combos out of position and that both villain and hero are deep stacked.
This flop is very good to our range because now we know no one has the ace of diamonds and we are drawing to the nut flush. Your c-bet sizing is fine but I would bet a bit more to protect my entire range and because there are two other players to speak ahead.
On the turn our hand needs no protection because now we own the nut flush, and other hands would’ve checked here to control pot and make a thin call or bet on the river.
Now on the turn we could’ve checked or bet, and when we bet we don’t need to go for huge amounts, and your 1/3, 1/4 pot is good enough.
This hand was very easy because villain should’ve called to realize its equity but instead, it decided to raise into a deep stacked pot having a dominated flush: once again, I’m completely shocked and amazed with utter feelings of awe to perceive how much weak players doing whale things are available in NLHE 25! This is fantastic and gives me a lot of hope to play cash games. Damn! These guys are weak beyond reasoning!!!
Thanks for posting.

Best regards;

Hi and thanks @Aballinamion, I hear you on the 4x (3,4x) size raise with my TT however I must reiterate that I play very unconventionally unorthodox, it’s why I hope you’ll come to realise that you need to broaden and remove yourself from this GTO oriented bible that I’ve always exploited in my play. My raises in cash as a one or the other for the moment is 2,2 and 3.4. 2.5 or 3x was going to produce 2 villains that I’m sure of because of who remained behind me and the interactions of the session so far.

I check the flop because as I want to induce action from him, assumptions I’ve missed, don’t like it along with those that have tangled with me before "caution". The protection of my hand isn’t a great concern as im here after acquiring my into flop preference as I was the initial aggressor (all changes when it’s someone else) and in heads up zone. Depending on how he responds I generally know his strength and gauge my necessary protection after his action when the Turn comes and he acts first.

He opts to check, I’m now certain he has the A as he repopped me for a start after all the previous engagements of last couple sessions. I make a bet that look s like I’m trying to steal it rather than get paid and BOOM he thinks his got me and some revenge.....

I take notes in a fashion that instantly helps me recall the instances of previous entanglements. I tell you no lie, when I return w following morning or whenever those seeking revenge beeline for me with a passion, oversized bets into my BB or excessively reraises when I opened.... an don’t bite because they taper playing my game in my realm and not theirs..... Hence the fundamental problem of abiding by schematics not of ornament your own... Sheeple...

I’ll respond to the other hand I see you’ve been spoke on, I want to get back to the session of the hand I came here to drop. I thought I should respond to at least one lol. Helps me long this to, as I need to take breaks more and stabilise that side of my game. Dude, I have played poker for 4 days straight into this morning. I’ve had 7 houtprs rest in total roughly, and although I play better th longer I’m awake I have moments that need ironing out... thankyiu go for assisting me with it in the form of your post 👌


Now let me post this hand, make a black tea and a few bursitis and get back to these guys who Hagen had to wait nearly 50 or so hours to get a chance at revenge lol. I have on my laptop a list of all the over 50bb pots I was involved in that rolling 8hrs or so. 😎

it’s why I hope you’ll come to realise that you need to broaden and remove yourself from this GTO oriented bible that I’ve always exploited in my play.

Lol, thanks for the advices. Yeah,,I have this GTO problem because I was born and raised in this school of thinking. Of course that I change and adapt to situations but I follow this bible frequently.

I hear you on the 4x (3,4x) size raise with my TT however I must reiterate that I play very unconventionally unorthodox

I think your 4-bet sizing is okay, I only questioned the 4-bet range. But as long you have history versus this particular villain, no problem.

My raises in cash as a one or the other for the moment is 2,2 and 3.4. 2.5 or 3x was going to produce 2 villains that I’m sure of because of who remained behind me and the interactions of the session so far.

My raises changes depending on limpers or how polarized are the first openers.

I take notes in a fashion that instantly helps me recall the instances of previous entanglements

This is good to read, notes are a paramount tool to any serious poker player, notes are better than HUD stats.

Lol, are you playing NLHE 100 now??? I hope you have bankroll mate, this is great news!
Your preflop raise is fine for this stake, we use smaller raises because we are playing more hands in position. Now what draws my attention is the player out of position 3-betting to... 5x !!!
First thing I tell you: this is not a GTO player, and considering this is NLHE 100 and not NLHE 2, there’s great probability this villain is weak.
I would’ve folded to this huge 3-bet sizing. But it seems BB is even more fishy, so somehow we kinda have some odds to call.
On the flop I don’t get nothing: why are we raising here? And as I have predicted, SB is a weak player because it folded. Now we have to worry about BB, that called a polarized 3-bet and called our raise on the flop.
On the flop we are pretty much bluffing, because we don’t believe our 2PMK is ahead (second pair medium kicker).
On the turn comes the final proof that BB is a whale: betting one Blind for this pot sizing is a preposterous joke, so you raise and BB folded.
In spite of us having the pot, why are we bluffing here??? Do you have notes on these guys as well? This was a bold move because our equity is very poor, we have what? 5 outs to the river?
Happy that you are choosing very weak opponents to play with.

My Error in this hand was potentially one, npbith and none of two half’s of an eventuality tree that span via the varying definitive half’s concluding the same thing. Irrespective of the dynamics.

I’m playing in massive profit which is why I am over aggressive and over-bet orientated.... You want some? Come then, let’s dance... Cash out is an option I struggle to use and definitely should, had it hones in ore id have taken a profit and been happy my AA didn’t get busted. Having seen the flop, what am I doing insta jamming to his bet... pfft... yes I’m playing with profits but down the toilet a possibility because I’m rocket blind.smh lol.

Though I’m not even mad at the outcome, I should a, coulda, bluhh, bluhh, bluhh... I’m annoyed that after taking myself round the block for a vape and to remind myself of my live play demeanour and stay true bringing it to online. I come back to discover the donkey luckster has squandered them and get to witness most of the nail footing into the coffin ffs 🤬😤 . 15min later or so later with another black tea between I’ve removed and looking for my 4x buy in, get up and go. Hmm, actually another 50bb to go roughly not sure lol, I’m still writing this and gathering the couple hands that have recovered me lol... multitasking away like s right 🙀🤫 Though I feel like a female dog for allowing myself to instanshove like that. If I’d taken a moment I wouldn’t have merely raised and when he jammed thought..hmmmm..this is suspicious and folded my AA with the notion that I’m not paying such an audacious price regardless of my stack... I’ll wait till I catch you with a set, or hand that has far more to live for like top pair with a wrap, or favourite side dish a flush draw to it also lol.. I would have possibly picked that up, I have a do all the time and yes,, 7 out of 7 for making the right choice and folding them preflop. 😬🤔😉🥳

PHEW.... I DONT NEED 50BB MORE LOL. IM AT 207 & WAS AT 218 🥳

Back to the game now after a well appreciated break thanks to this the CC Forum 🤩 Note to self, shove pre and cash out lol... or not simply lesd nuclear reactor level aggression haha.

If I steamed would you watch it?
Kon’s Controversial Central Courtesy CC haha 🤣😂😅 The "There’s No 101 Show" 🤷‍♂️

Looking like I need to change leve lol, everyone folds when I raise now lol

 

[kon44]

If we are opening K7s from MP, I wonder our range from BU... (?)
I’m going to note that we are first raising using weak combos out of position and that both villain and hero are deep stacked.
This flop is very good to our range because now we know no one has the ace of diamonds and we are drawing to the nut flush. Your c-bet sizing is fine but I would bet a bit more to protect my entire range and because there are two other players to speak ahead.
On the turn our hand needs no protection because now we own the nut flush, and other hands would’ve checked here to control pot and make a thin call or bet on the river.
Now on the turn we could’ve checked or bet, and when we bet we don’t need to go for huge amounts, and your 1/3, 1/4 pot is good enough.
This hand was very easy because villain should’ve called to realize its equity but instead, it decided to raise into a deep stacked pot having a dominated flush: once again, I’m completely shocked and amazed with utter feelings of awe to perceive how much weak players doing whale things are available in NLHE 25! This is fantastic and gives me a lot of hope to play cash games. Damn! These guys are weak beyond reasoning!!!
Thanks for posting.

For a start it’s not a weak combo where cash is concerned lol. Post flop any two cards regardless of how great or bad they started pre flop have a chance of taking superiority in the hand on the flop. I have destroyed soo many just because they have that orientation imbedded in their game. I’m also raising hands like that because of the fact they are deep stacked and influenced into thinking that I would be much stronger. I also have forced my InPosition status to follow.

his flop is very good to our range because now we know no one has the ace of diamonds and we are drawing to the nut flush. Your c-bet sizing is fine but I would bet a bit more to protect my entire range and because there are two other players to speak ahead.

Indeed a good flop, idealising I’m ultimately looking for the Flush completion, however because of my opening PreFlop my bet size here serves both to mask my hand and gain information on their holdings. As I’m the original aggressor, my bet looks conservative if holding an A, i also would expect to be re raised here by a strong A from either my opponents due to the two diamonds on this flop as protection. And if by great luck a fellow flush draw contender, a flat call..... CO folds, and I’m left with BB who calls.

On the turn our hand needs no protection because now we own the nut flush, and other hands would’ve checked here to control pot and make a thin call or bet on the river.
Now on the turn we could’ve checked or bet, and when we bet we don’t need to go for huge amounts, and your 1/3, 1/4 pot is good enough.

Exactly that. BB is checking and hoping, preying that I continue betting counting chips that unfortunately they’re never acquiring lol. Obviously I isn’t know this’s at the time, I still want to mask my hand and give BB the window to attempt to bluff the pot away seeing as I’m feebly betting.

This hand was very easy because villain should’ve called to realize its equity but instead, it decided to raise into a deep stacked pot having a dominated flush

That’s the thing you see, because of how it played he thinks his winning, he also wants to get more from me and this is the chance. I’m not surprised he checked knowing now what he was holding, he knows I’m always betting the river. He is always raising here against me also, his trying to get the maximum because of past engagements and his in a hole to me. So then BOOM, a $7 pot becomes $78 pot in an instance. Now tell me K7s in MP isn’t a great hand lol.... Poker is about making the most out of what we got, we can’t sit waiting fir AA forever lol.

I’m completely shocked and amazed with utter feelings of awe to perceive how much weak players doing whale things are available in NLHE 25! This is fantastic and gives me a lot of hope to play cash games. Damn! These guys are weak beyond reasoning!!!

There are players of all levels in each level fella, the difference is in their core make up of types. The higher up the stakes I play the more readable I’m finding situations, and players however I’m on a mission for consistency online putting aside the quick flip mentality and disregard for live profits I have feed online for years. My favourite level at the moment is NLHE100, some really good players up there but GTO inspired, I am hanging them out to dry as a result lol.

Thanks for posting.

Best regards;

And thank you for helping me expressing my unorthodox non-uniform orientation. And for keeping me humble lol.. 🤪

The picture is an example of a first contact note made, they caught me barrelling. This stamped knowledge the pictured hand is how I get over paid by players I’ve banged shoulders with before. Ok though 8 do have AA lol, but they are too easily blinded b6 what’s happened before.

For me, I won’t assume just because you have done something 9 times in a Rowe that you will do it the sameness way the 10th time, you could, it’s highly probably but the contrast if that’s still exists.

 

[Station_Master]

On the K7 hand it's actually a GTO open from HJ about 70% of the time or so, K6s 100%, suited kings are good hands as they can make the nuts... as demonstrated by this hand. Alot of players dont play then though.

Also villains river raise was way too thin!

 

[kon44]

Lol, thanks for the advices. Yeah,,I have this GTO problem because I was born and raised in this school of thinking. Of course that I change and adapt to situations but I follow this bible frequently.

I think your 4-bet sizing is okay, I only questioned the 4-bet range. But as long you have history versus this particular villain, no problem.

My raises changes depending on limpers or how polarized are the first openers.

This is good to read, notes are a paramount tool to any serious poker player, notes are better than HUD stats.

My raises changes depending on limpers or how polarized are the first openers.

I believe this to be an error. It give some off too much information that guys like me would use against you later. And believe me it’s true, there are things that are 99% consistently true and in repetition in all GTO player that I come to blows on the felt with, I am making over-profits because of them and it’s a massive hike that isn’t getting pugged unless it’s revealed.... it’s a seriousness edge for me and any others who I imagine must exist and equally make ludicrous profits from them.

This is good to read, notes are a paramount tool to any serious poker player, notes are better than HUD stats.

Ergghht, I’m not a HUD fan either it’s straight up cheating, but it exists so it’s either accept it ir don’t lol. party poker if you like tournaments etc is the best place to play, deep stacks of 10k, 50 to100k (may be larger) are a regular tournament stack, it’s an amazing stage for online play that resembles play live massively

 

[kon44]

Lol, are you playing NLHE 100 now??? I hope you have Bankroll mate, this is great news!
Your preflop raise is fine for this stake, we use smaller raises because we are playing more hands in position. Now what draws my attention is the player out of position 3-betting to... 5x !!!
First thing I tell you: this is not a GTO player, and considering this is NLHE 100 and not NLHE 2, there’s great probability this villain is weak.
I would’ve folded to this huge 3-bet sizing. But it seems BB is even more fishy, so somehow we kinda have some odds to call.
On the flop I don’t get nothing: why are we raising here? And as I have predicted, SB is a weak player because it folded. Now we have to worry about BB, that called a polarized 3-bet and called our raise on the flop.
On the flop we are pretty much bluffing, because we don’t believe our 2PMK is ahead (second pair medium kicker).
On the turn comes the final proof that BB is a whale: betting one Blind for this pot sizing is a preposterous joke, so you raise and BB folded.
In spite of us having the pot, why are we bluffing here??? Do you have notes on these guys as well? This was a bold move because our equity is very poor, we have what? 5 outs to the river?
Happy that you are choosing very weak opponents to play with.

Yes I have tells Andy notes on both players, the guy in the middle (SB) is labelled "Thief" he always 3/4bets to steal pre flop chips and has a good go after lol. BB either had the 7 also or a pocket pair...l Having the Q is a very mild possibility but it would have to have the worst of kickers..l but let’s be honest, being short stacked he would have shoved. What the replays and hand description show is any of the primary information which is how it played out in the moment. The 1bb bet made by BB is pretty common in places, it could initial a shove if you raise it, or a fold. True of both, the next street is preferable to the player making the bet a majority of the time... Complete donks I’ve seen make em every street hoping for a fold or holding a missed high A.

My 3bet in the flop was to either induce folds if they were made or over represent my hand. I actually believe my 7 is ahead, though it’s possible I’m up against a pair below the Q and above my 77 of the BB or even a better 7. BB flatting the bet from SB is why I clicked back at them. BB with a Q raises prior to me, but is happier to flat... HELL NO LOL.... This pot isn’t mine so BOOM 20 on top. I must admit then 5 was both a scare and happy card to see. BB bets 1bb I’m like hmm, you have show down value and/or want to see another hand, but would happily take a call... curios indeed. Put it to you then, set him in and after an extended tank folds... I reckon he was holding a pocket pair or A7.

Pre-Flop: ($1.50) Hero is SB with A♣ A♦
1 fold, MP raises to $2.50, 2 players fold, Hero 3-bets to $9.50, 1 fold, MP calls $7

You 3-bets to 3.8x having AA: remember this is NLHE 100 mate, there are just a couple of players at this limit and they know newcomers when they show up. Also, most of regulars are quite aware of bet sizings and pay a lot of attention to it.

Flop: ($20) J♥ 6♦ T♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $10.14, Hero raises to $209.23 (all-in), MP calls $118.41 (all-in)

Villain bets 1/2 and we shove. Now I would love to put a question that is present in the Cardschat poker course on how to become a winning player in 30 days: when we jam on the flop we allow villain to play perfectly, we are risking more than 100 blinds to win 30 blinds.
When we jam on the flop we are giving villain the sole opportunity to fold all of its worst hands and call our jam only with hands that have us beat.
Needless to point that this move is very unbalanced and might work pretty fine at NLHE 2 ou NLHE 25, but this is NLHE 100.

3 players fold, Hero raises to $2.20, 1 fold, BB 3-bets to $13, Hero calls $10.80

Big Blind is polarizing its 3-bet sizing a lot, and I think the main reason is because of hero/you: this player had noted that you are “aggro” and is simply try to exploit the exploiter.

Pre-Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with K♥ K♠
1 fold, MP raises to $2.20, 1 fold, BTN 3-bets to $7, 1 fold, Hero 4-bets to $18.50, 1 fold, BTN calls $11.50

Once again, you are raising the top of your range higher and the bottom of your range lower: your 4-bet sizing is way too expensive and I ask if you are doing it with all of your 4-bet range (?).

Pre-Flop: ($1.50) Hero is CO with 9♣ 9♠
2 players fold, Hero raises to $3.40, BTN calls $3.40, 1 fold, BB 3-bets to $16, Hero 4-bets to $171.36 (all-in),

I thought you said you didn’t like to change your opening raises, sometimes you open to 2.2x and now you are opening to 3.4x... BB polarized 3-bet showing a lot of strength and hero... jams preflop, which is another unbalanced/not profitable move.

Pre-Flop: ($1.50) Hero is SB with J♣ J♦
2 players fold, CO raises to $2.50, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets to $7.50, 1 fold, CO calls $5

Now you decided to 3-bet utilizing 3x sizing. Is it because you’re not so sure about JJ? If you were holding KK+ would you raise higher as you did on previous hands???

Turn: ($71.32) A♣ (2 players)
Hero bets $138.40 (all-in), CO folds

I really don’t get your bluff here. What exactly are you trying to do turning a value hand into a bluff in a scenario where we can have tons of calls of Ax, blocking narrowly AJ???

Conclusion:

Don’t get me wrong, but you provided several details that could put you on a profile of a tilted player:

a) playing several hours non-stop.

b) moving to higher stakes suddenly, it looks like you have moved from NLHE 25 to NLHE 100, having huh, 4 buy-ins.

c) playing very aggressively in almost every single hand.

d) self-defense: you are explaining the reasons why you did this or that move and you are sure you are right. If you are so confident why post your hands here and self-analyze it?

I’m not trying to offend you, I’m trying to be serious and take care of you, although I have no idea who you are, but it seems you are a fine person, and nobody deserves to be facing poker stress or a mental breakdown alone: I speak in the behalf of the whole community of CardsChat, we are on your side and back your decisions and we would love to see you healthy destroying NLHE 100.
But it seems this is not the case, and if I’m wrong, forgive me, for my intention is to assist you when you most need help. I’m not any professional but I’m your forum mate, and I’m here to tell the truth and try to help you the best I can.
You don’t have to assume here, you can deny but be faithful to your own self, say “no” here as much as you can and I respect that, but don’t do this to your own life: accept mistakes when they happen, and if this is the case of a tilt, quit the tables for a very long time.

I think you are dead on with your point, we are opening such combos OOP, but not a 100% of times, that I completely second you.
Personally, I like to open K8s from MP and it’s about to 30-40% of times, totally depending on the players sitting on the CO, BU, SB and BB: having 4 players yet to speak, I like to stick with a more solid range and open these doubtful combos when I’m sure I will get called only for the blinds and do not get many 3-bets in the middle of the table.

Haha. Believe me @Aballinamion im absolutely fine. I made a heap of errors in that hand as I wasn't using sense. When I up in a limt the profit I said always fair gain. As for my limit jumping, I play everything up from NLHE5 up to NLHE200. The cash race I complete at all levels. When’s I start the day on PS I play 4 tables of NLHE5, it’s a non important warm up to gauge how the software is running where the results determine if I’m playing cash or SnGs to begin this session.

Unfortunately I haven’t the two I’m extremely to answer the post point to point but I’m cool 100. A usual session of poker for me is around 2/3 day straight. That 100 buys ins stuff is only relevant to me for the SnS/MTT environment, I have $700 on starts after starting with $25 or 5 days ago, I’ve been chilling since yesterday and been away from the site . I’m going t9 get on in a little and play a few SnGs,if I play cash I’ll most probably play NEHE25/50. However the game is far better at 100

And if we are opening K7s 70% of times from MP, how does it look our BU opening ranges? We are opening all the Tx suited+ ???
I think you are dead on with your point, we are opening such combos OOP, but not a 100% of times, that I completely second you.
Personally, I like to open K8s from MP and it’s about to 30-40% of times, totally depending on the players sitting on the CO, BU, SB and BB: having 4 players yet to speak, I like to stick with a more solid range and open these doubtful combos when I’m sure I will get called only for the blinds and do not get many 3-bets in the middle of the table.
Thanks for another keen observation!

Suited kings are alot stronger than people think. From HJ GTo charts suggest opening 19% of hands, A2s+, K6s+, Q9s+, 66+, KTo+ but not QTo or JTo.
From Button all suited Tx is too loose but all suited Kings and Q3s, J5s, T6s.
Always worth bearing in mind suited hands are alot stronger (nut potential) and have more playability than offsuit hands

Glad you are not offended. And I feel myself happy for your answer, it really surprises me, I never heard about this style of jumping to NLHE 5 to NLHE 200, but if you get the nerve and fiber to do so, keep on moving, wish all the best luck in your grinding.

Personally, I like to open K8s from MP and it’s about to 30-40% of times, totally depending on the you have players sitting on the CO, BU, SB and BB: having 4 players yet to speak, I like to stick with a more solid range and open these doubtful combos when I’m sure I will get called only for the blinds and do not get many 3-bets in the middle of the table.
Thanks for another keen observation!by

Best regards;

This post is exactly why GTO stumbles you all. Your in the belief you’re only supposed to play a specifc way depending on what cards you have. Next time I stick tap over my cards and play a few hands going only by myself the action of others I’ll post the results, it’s finny but poker often has nothing to do with your hole cards

I like the 4 bet but with a pair of Tens you could jam it all in or call and evaluate the flop. You get overcards on the flop 70% of the time so could be hard to play when you don't make a set. U made a set but preflop your opponent raised you than called your 4 bet. What is his range? Is that flop better for him or you? He probably puts you on a strong pair or better Ace so I would be betting all three streets build the pot get max value.

Glad you are not offended. And I feel myself happy for your answer, it really surprises me, I never heard about this style of jumping to NLHE 5 to NLHE 200, but if you get the nerve and fiber to do so, keep on moving, wish all the best luck in your grinding.

Thanks for your care on this subject. I will take it under consideration and put it to analysis.

Well then thing is, I put this question to myself few weeks ago. I will go in a casino and play 1/2 8 will sit with 100bb and jump to another’s table when I hit 800. I will table Andy game jump most the night, why can’t I do that online but be tighter and employ a profile only mentality? 🤷🏾‍♂🤷‍♂️

Hi @LOKIE77, make a mention of the hand your referring to as a start in these threat via the code in the top left of their originals, I figure do it would make life easier in a threat that’s continued into multiple pages with additional hands added later. Means no matter when or where you comment, we’re always on the same page. And welcome 🤟

A big factor in my play is past entanglements with players I play pots with, Often they are gunning for, I get ridiculous 3bets just because I’ve opened, I know this because rather than call and play into their move I opt to fold and either watch the action or return shortly after to see what was going down. I also don’t usually play hands that are raised by others unless I’m 4betting. If I didn’t make the initial preflop raise I fold. I don’t play any A unless it’s suited, I raise all unopened pots with suited connectors and/or flat raises under my 3.4 opener in late position if they are from 67s. However, all this being said the variables of each individual pot I choose to involve myself in are more to do with the current session for the most than for me.
