Hero ?

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a king as he would have bet the turn. It is difficult ranging these players, he's wide enough to have a 7 here and to have led out on the flop with the oesd, or am I just seeing monsters

Possibly a missed flush draw? That would make sense, especially considering the check back on the turn. AQh / would make sense to just flat call that 3-bet.

I think there is a very small likelihood that he would check back w/ AKh on the turn, since maybe you had hit a set of 9s (although 3-betting pre kind of eliminates you holding 99). He could also have a larger pocket pair: QQ makes most sense, actually.

Side note: how in the heck do you convert these hands?! If I use the recommendend hand converter tool, by simply copying and pasting my hand into that textbox, I get an error stating: "Incorrect hand format".

Right click on the hand you want to copy and click view
In the bottom right of the view box click on the clipboard symbol. you can use the down triangle to pick a format. Several of them work on CardsChat, in fact I think there is one called cc.
When you have clicked on the clipboard it will say in text in the bottom left, "this hand has been copied to the clipboard". Unfortunately it doesn't bring across the stats and I can add them afterwards using the "copy with stats".
There are probably easier ways tbh.

He played it like a flush, but you can't fold for this price. No way. Any kind of bluff in here or 22/99 and you're solid.

This hand you just have to bet the turn unless you really think your opponent is aggressive. If they don't have a calling hand, they probably won't call if you bet the river, so it's best to just bet the turn. Because you don't bet the turn it makes for a strange river. You want to get more value, but is there enough worse hands that will call? You're only looking at worse flushes which maybe some % of the time he looks to CR the turn. It's a bad line for that hand, but it could be there at these stakes.

So river call/raise is close. I'm usually not a fan, but a min/raise fold wouldn't be horrible since pretty much no one will look to get it in w/ a worse flush on a paired board at this point. But of course you don't know anything about your opponent and he could be a complete whale. So I think shove is fine on the whole, but w/o breaking down the math I'm not sure the EV difference between just call on this one.

I think the mistake made here is pre-flop and on the turn. You are in love w/ suited hands. That's beyond clear. You should run some filters so you can see how you've been playing these hands when cold calling or 3-betting. It might help re-enforce some things for you.

Check/fold on the turn. Hand over. Again, you have no info, so you have no idea if your opponent is bluffable, which clearly he wasn't. Make smart decisions by not getting into spots where you have no info and your only escape if to turn your hand into a bluff. You're in a low equity spot w/ high reverse implied odds. There's just no reason to be in the hand.

Look, winning poker is about making good decisions your whole session. If you're getting rushed, slow down. Play less tables. But hand 2 and 3 are session killers. They are hands that you're just not going to see real good grinders playing.

Maybe I'm not being harsh enough in my critique?

Hero ?

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a king as he would have bet the turn. It is difficult ranging these players, he's wide enough to have a 7 here and to have led out on the flop with the oesd, or am I just seeing monsters. I am also wondering what I would have done if he had fired the turn as well.

im betting the king. its in our perceived range and more than happy to end the action on turn

Against a spew happy bad lag you need to call the river. You also should just bet the turn. If he bet the turn then you're calling.

 

[rhombus]

You are in love w/ suited hands. That's beyond clear. You should run some filters so you can see how you've been playing these hands when cold calling or 3-betting. It might help re-enforce some things for you.

Maybe I'm not being harsh enough in my critique?

Thanks and you be as harsh as you want eventually it will sink in

Did run filters for all suited cards when I cold called and when I 3Bet although one question regarding 3betting.

Think it might have been answered before but i can't find it.

What's the difference between?
Basic Filters/Common Filters/3BET = Yes and Other Advanced Filters/Preflop Did 3Bet

The Basic Filters one shows up as Combo actions:3Bet and the Advanced Filters one shows as Did3BET = True

I did run them both and the results were the same?? Results are from 232K hands

Moral of the story better to 3Bet than Cold Call lol, although not sure why 3betting one gappers is getting his ass kicked and 2 gappers seems ok

So my samples doesn't show anything conclusive for cold calling anything apart from suited connectors which seems wrong, maybe need to filter in and out of position

 

[John A]

I'd filter out your value hands like AK, AQs, etc... and just run filters are the weaker part of your range. The hands I see you post that you're losing at hands like J6s, or cold calling with K5s, etc... those are the ones that are draining your bank roll.

 

[Figaroo2]

I ran the same filter for 250k of hands and came up with 702 hands so RHOM you are officially a 3bet MONSTER (mind you I do play FR v your 6 max)

I assumed those hands were covered where it says Other Suited Hands

Ran another filter, all suited cards and removed AK/AQ/AJ/AT and KQs
Shows all, 3Bets and Cold Called

then another one with cold calling with just the junkier stuff although this one had better results than cold calling with AK/AQ/AJ/AT and KQs removed

 

[John A]

Yup, that looks a little more on point. So conclusion?

And here's another example where the same range and initiative makes such a big difference, doesn't it?

 

[rhombus]

Yup, that looks a little more on point. So conclusion?

Your'e a smart arse and I'm not.

I need to ween myself off suited crap and other suited 3Bet or fold

And here's another example where the same range and initiative makes such a big difference, doesn't it?

Yes

 

[John A]

Hehe... true. But if it helps drill the point home, I'll play the part.

Speaking of playing the part, I'm working with an actor right now and helping him prepare for a role in Aaron Sorkin's new movie, Molly's Game staring Jessica Chastain. I'll post more info and some pictures here soon when it's cool to do so, but it's been a lot of fun so far. I haven't done celerity coaching in awhile, but it's always interesting and fun when it happens.

[rhombus]

just realised it would help if i posted Leakbuster Overall stats as per video.

I'm not great as seeing where the big leaks are in these but as Im losing so much on the River Now Showdown -(106bb) I guess the River Agg% should be alot higher then 29.9%.
Should Flop AGG, Turn AGG and River AGG be similar numbers

Also think WTSD% should be around 25% for 6MAX

Sounds awesome. I know when they show poker games on tv and some older films they don't even seem to know what they are doing or even know the rules.

GL teaching Kevin or maybe Idris the ropes

 

[John A]

Idris is playing Jessica's lawyer in the movie. It's neither of them, but good guesses.

I'll post some info here soon. I'm going to be going to a hollywood home game here with some of the celebs so I'll dish on what's going on with the movie, but I think it's going to be great for poker. Aaron gets involved in only top quality stuff, and is a very bright guy.

River agg% is fine. WTSD is a little high, not horrible. I'd fold to steal a little more in the BB. I don't see CC% in there for some reason, and I'd flop my button open and SB open %. Those are backwards.

Most of your losses just come from your suited junk hands. If you cut those out, your bb/100 would be significantly higher.

Just checked the list on Leak Buster - Overall Report and it isn't there on mine

 

[rhombus]

Actually just found it, its on the Leakbuster Position Report even though it has alot less stats than Leakbuster Overall.

Id say the CC% from Early isnt very good at 20%, not sure about the rest

Showdown +360bb/100 2016 is +370

So what does it all mean??? Presumably must be more aggressive on all streets bar the showdown. Leakbuster is pretty much telling me this anyway but it is interesting to look at things in this fashion.
Looks like this year I'm folding less on the turn but still folding too much on the river prior to showdown.....need to bluff more maybe...nut peddler

Actually just found it, its on the Leakbuster Position Report even though it has alot less stats than Leakbuster Overall.

Id say the CC% from Early isnt very good at 20%, not sure about the rest

Yeah, EP and BB aren't that great. They could be a bit lower for sure.

It's not horrible overall. It could be much worse. Initiative is super important. As long as you look to either be pushing the action, or somewhat trapping when you're calling, you'll be fine. But it's when you play the suited cruddy hands, or cold call with marginal hands, especially OOP, that you'll be playing losing poker. These are easily correctable, so that should hopefully be encouraging.

I'll be on a sweat tomorrow for all of those who can make it. Let me know in here please. Thanks.
