Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 2005517, member: 34747"] Isn't that just a whole leveling thing? People who don't know about tells at all will assume that if you look weak you are. But if they know about tells they might think strong = weak, etc. But if they think YOU know that, then... etc, etc. Prob overthinking this, but yeah I think in the long run just acting the same as much as possible is best. Yeah, it def still gets to me sometimes, but it's really just in big pots/moments now. Heart rate goes up, and the like, but thankfully I don't really shake or anything. :D And thanks, hehe. I prefer writing narrative-styled hands, but it's obv not as useful for analysis/improvement. Appaz some do? Maybe he was only half-russian. :D Have another hand for you guys. It was almost midnight on a Tuesday, and my table was 5-handed. I'd been losing, and rebought, and lost more and wasn't going to put more on the table for the night. My effective stack size (with the whole table) was about $110. Nitty (postflop) reg limps in for $2 and it's folded to me on the BTN. I have K6cc. I decide to pop it to $12, and the blinds both fold. I'd seen this reg limp AK before, but also I'd seen him raise suited connectors (at a full table). He was decently nitty postflop, and I found that while he seems to float decently wide, I could double barrel him on good board textures where his range wasn't doing well (like K33r 6r). (Pot: $27) Flop: Ks7s6d He leads out for $15. This is pretty weird for him, and indicates some strength. At the time I put him mostly on strongish Kx like KQs or something. He'd never lead out with a flush draw here, I don't think. But anyway, that's where my analysis at the time ended. In retrospect I was a bit tilty from running a little bad, and I made probably the worst play I possibly could have here. I shoved, and not only that, I mis-counted my remaining stack. I had about $90 in front of me, so it was a raise of about $75. So here's my analysis now: When he leads out, he is strong. Strong Kx is the bottom of his range, and I think b/c of the flush draw, he'd lead out with sets, 2 pairs, AK, KQ , KJ, and maybe KT. I'm not sure what the optimal line is. I think stationing might actually be the best, or possibly raise/fold. But not really sure what he does with AK facing a raise here - it's possible he just ships it in, so I'm not sure what I like best. The problem with stationing is that if he bets on a blank turn, AND bets on a blank river, it's hard to think my hand is good. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
