Thanks for trying to fit us in last night John I enjoyed listening to you beating yourself up for a lost value mistake. The turn bet with KK on the 4578 board was informative I was never putting us 68% fav against his range. I will store that away and make sure I'm betting there in future.
Afterwards or3o sweated me for about 400 hands of 25nl FR on Stars and I managed to get the stack back that I lost on the KQcc hand. Villain there had QQ (1combo). My mouse problems caused us to switch and I watched or3o on the 100nl Bovada for an hour.
With the trip Jacks hand my recollection was that or3o wanted to check behind .. but fearing losing value I urged him to bet on the end and we decided on half pot. Tbh I wasn't expecting a call as it just looked like a busted draw..and then we got raised which he snapped off instantly. The pot odds were too good not to call there. I don't understand the villains bluff sizing with 44 at all but I agree 30% is a better river sizing for us. It's an easier call for a mid pair and gives the villain more leverage on a river bluff.

Your thought process is a little confusing here. You tried to induce a bluff on the river, and got one, but weren't confident in the call? Also, I'm not sure why you think he'd try and bluff the river to begin with (because of hearts, or gut shot?). Especially someone who is limp/calling. And yes, draw heavy boards will hit limp/call ranges, but more like 7h8hXx kind of boards. You should just be going for straight value by betting larger on ever street. If you were looking to induce a bluff, then an even smaller bet would need to be done. Something like 1/3rd of the pot or less.

I like the effort though! :) It's good you're thinking like this. I guess one of the hands you saw me play today influenced this a bit. :)
Haha that could be! The villain in my hand most likely played back at me like this because I was aggressive the hand before as well. His sizing is what made me not so confident, it seemed as if he really wanted a call. I know sometimes but not often I run into KJ, QJ or a boat.



How do you like this here guys? I decided to over limp this J 10s and the preflop raiser to my left was c betting 100% of the time and folding to 3 bets 100% of the time and I had back door draws but not enough equity to call so I decided I'd give him the bizz if utg folded. I planned to bet any card that improved me on the turn.

I know we have to get better hands to fold sometimes or I shouldn't be playing this hand and this opponent seemed weak enough to give it a shot here and it's a tough flop for him to connect with.

I dont know if this is the right place to ask this question..
Im sorry if its not.

So, im grinding low stakes 0.05/0.02 NL holdem 6-max atm, and im doing quite nice.
Atm im just working on my bankroll.

Is it a normal thing, than ppl call on hands like Q-9 offsuited, K-5 Suited etc.
Is that a normal hand selection on 6-max?
Ive seen people on UTG and middle position calling with these hands

Well you're definitely in the right place! The best answer I can come up with is that there is no normal when it comes to cash games. Everything is very player dependent. But if you're seeing this consistently from certain players it may be the norm for them..

its not normal ranges but at the micros some players call with everything

Make a note on the players doing this and if they are calling 3x raises then raise more.

Also when you hit top pair hands Value bet them as they will be calling down with their K5 when u have AK :) but beware when thay check raise big on the turn a board of J628 and you have AJ then fold as their J2 suited just got there:eek:

Why didnt you bet flop and end the hand on flop??? If checking cuz worse hands cant call ?? Then i understand flop

Yeah, what better hand am I folding out? Nothing. Maybe AK, but he probably 5-bet jams that OOP.

But y not turn... obv our oppon3nt had pp he wouldve stabbed flop? Or hear him on turn??

Seems he has ak when 3 streets checked or Aj or something... Or you have a read on him and he's just drawing value from pocket type hands which when I was on 888 at 10nl and 20nl I did see a bit of. Passive players.
Turn, I don't mind a small bet. I think I'd bet here most of the time, but decided to check through to see the hand honestly. It was 3 hands into a session and didn't know anything about him. He had 67s. :)

Hehe.... yeah, it wasn't my best session, but it was fun. It's fun when you hit some flops. Didn't have to do much bluffing. I'll post the KK hand if you want. I think that was 100nl 6-max correct?

And, it's opponent dependent. I'm not betting there 100% of the time.

Afterwards or3o sweated me for about 400 hands of 25nl FR on Stars and I managed to get the stack back that I lost on the KQcc hand. Villain there had QQ (1combo). My mouse problems caused us to switch and I watched or3o on the 100nl Bovada for an hour.

Cool... I pinged you guys but no one answered me so I thought you stopped. Maybe he can post some of those hands.

Lower stakes, people are going to gamble more and play bad hands. That's why they are playing low, and just messing around. So that's where a good HUD and understanding player types is important.

If your read is correct, then I'd just min raise the turn and allow him to do something really stupid. Take his whole stack is the goal. If you don't raise turn, then calling an almost pot sized river here is std.

The consistent pattern I see going with you, and something that will help to decrease wtsd, increase w$sd and aggression is you're not folding on the flop enough. You open UTG, get 3-bet in the next position and check call MW on this flop. It's a pretty easy fold, especially after BB calls. Can you explain your through process of what you were doing there?

So I've been practicing nailing flops lately John and it's working out nicely ;)

This was intended as a 4b bluff. The guy in the blinds was 3betting 12% and folding to 3bets 67% and I'd been very tight at the table so I gave it a go.. But I get weirded out by the pot/stack ratio. It doesn't seem right to bet half pot or to shove (although shoving seems less wrong)?? He is 3betting pretty wide but when he called I figure he has AA, AK, AQ, KK, JJ, 10 10? Is this too narrow of an assumption you think? I assumed the J's and 10's would fold and the rest would call and I beat most of those but when he snap folds I don't feel great about shoving it anymore..

Yeah Rhom I agree whole heartedly with John here, this is an easy fold on the flop. We have at best 6 outs so we are only improving 24% of the time assuming we hang on to the river. Much more realistic is that you aren't calling a turn bet it you miss so peeling the flop and hoping to improve is only a 12% chance. This is why it's an easy fold on the flop.
Then you hit your best possible card and question what to do?
Have a think about what he is firing with? Only 1 combo of AA is out there so it is much more likely he's firing with AK or AQ in which case the money should be going in. If he has AA it's a cooler.

Seems fine to me slight over pot shove. Difficult to see worse calling. I might have tried to extract value with a much smaller turn bet to get a call or induce something from him.
If we bet say 18bb-22bb this is a much easier call for AA AK then if he calls the pot is 80 and we can shove around 40bb into 80 which gives him a better price to call the river.

See, I knew you'd learn something if you sweated me. Nailing flops is a skill that's not the easiest thing to teach, but you're a quick study! :)

Nice, and I'd probably check a street here or bet something really small that he can call. He's not folding AA or AK no matter what, so on a site like bovada where there's no history really going on, why take a chance to push him out by shoving? Bet something like 15 BBs... he'll have to call w/ everything or try and bluff.

Hehe... I didn't read what you wrote, but look how much we think alike now? lol

I think the big point here is, when there's no history, there's no point in forcing someone into tough decisions like this when you nail a flop. Just make it easy for them to give all your money. When you're on a site that accumulates stats, and you have history w/ someone, then you want to start applying pressure like this and forcing difficult decisions on your opponent.

just thought it was too exploitable to fold with 2overs and backdoor nut flush. If Ace, King or Spade didnt hit the turn then definitely fold.

Was looking at the Leakbuster - Overall stats, although not sure which to post either Leakbuster - Overall or Plugging Leaks - Overall as they seem to show similar figures.

Here was my Leakbuster - Overall at 30K 6Max 2nl Zoom, although at 33K hands Im edging towards my target of 5bb/100 being at 3.22 :)
Ps i posted on a thread before not sure if you saw or not
' Also I'm using the Leakbuster Max HUD and still dont fully get the W$WSF, as Im playing zoom 4tabling can i look at this figure to give good idea whether they are fish or aggro etc or do I need to combine it with another figure '

It's kind of an art form and I'm working to perfect it! I don't know why I spazz out about the stack/pot ratio thing. I need to relax and just try to take all of the money next time!

BB checks, Hero checks, MP bets $0.92, BB folds, Hero ???????

just thought it was too exploitable to fold with 2overs and backdoor nut flush. If Ace, King or Spade didnt hit the turn then definitely fold.

It wasn't so much Tilt maybe frustration as a few hands before on that table I had over 500bbs and eventually ended up with 60.

this is how it ended

BB checks, Hero checks, MP bets $0.92, BB folds, Hero raises to $2.52, MP calls $1.60

I get the flop call but I don't like the check raise on the turn that much. What is calling besides a 9 or an ace. Most of the ragged aces aren't going to want to get it all in anyways. The only hands that want to play for stacks are trips and boats. What did you think about the villian in this hand? You could have 4bet and most likely just have taken it down pre.

I could use a dose of my own advice though. I ran into trip 10's twice today and called off a buy in with tptk like a fish.. I don't usually tilt but this was a clear cut case of winners tilt on my part. I've been running like god the past few days and somehow turned into an overly optimistic fish as if I'm always going to be right.. I'll probably be taking the rest of the night off and start fresh tomorrow.

at the time play looked ok but then more you think about it, dep stacked suited connectors go up in value and AK goes down.

Once I raised turn I was thinking about QQ KK AQ etc but its a combination of him being stubborn and me actually hitting an ace and its not worth it
