CO openraises, you call in the BB with A9o

board is all unders rainbow uncoordinated. You checkcall? turn is a king you checkfold?

++hard to make out the action. i would checkraise this flop. the king is a bad card but you gave him your money by calling the flop and folding the turn. you pretty much just gave him a half a bet.

-
UTG2 openraises, button calls, you call in the BB with J9o

++dont like this blind defense. from a LMP raiser i would defend, maybe MP2, but UTG2 youre dominated.


-
3 handed, button openlimps, SB raises, you call in the bb with 78o

flop is K78

SB bets, you call planning to raise the turn.

++i would raise this right on the flop although i could see a case being made for the turn.


-
3 handed, SB openraises, you 3bet K9o from SB bb calls sb call.

flop is QTx. you bet, bb folds, sb raises, you 3bet


++i dont like the 3bet. i would just call at this point unless you had a particular read. did you? villain is sweeta11


-
you openraise AJo EMP, CO 3bets, you call.

flop is A89 2 hearts you dont have a heart

you bet, he raises, you 3bet he calls?

turn is a blank

you bet, he raises you call.


++wowow. i would slow down. flop bet or checkraise is situational but the 3bet is crazy. then you called a turn raise. do you have a read on this guy that hes nuts? if not you spewed alot against normal players.


-

you openraise KQcc UTG, UTG+1 3bets, folded to you you call.

flop is J42 with a club. you check he bets you call

++i see no reason to draw even to your backdoor flush draw. your overcard outs are tainted and he has you crushed. fold

-

you openraise in the CO with A2s, BT calls, BB calls.

Flop is 855 with a flush draw out there none of your suit. you bet, but raises you call

++why are you calling this raise? even if you catch your ace youre probably dead to your kicker.

-

co openraises, you call in the BB with 93s

++foldfoldldlldolflld

-

you openraise ATo from HJ, button a megadonkey calls, BB calls.

flop is K24

BB bets, you call

++foldldolfoldloldldlfold

-

you openraise on the BT with J9o, SB a megadonkey calls and so does BB

flop is Axx with 2 of your suit

you bet, SB checkraises bb folds you call

++what were you thinking? were you going to bluffraise the turn? when the turn came and you picked up outs you just called. if you were not planning to bluffraise you are giving this idiot your money.

-

44vpip player limps in MP, you raise in LP with A5o

++i wouldnt isolate players with A5o. i think thats way too low. youre in a reverse implied odd situation with barely any preflop hot and cold equity.

-

[sthief09]

maybe I should take a video of my computer for a 24 hour period so someone can help me figure out why I never end up playing

No idea what type of player CO is. If he is so loose-passive that this is unthinkable, consider this for a more average/whatever type of opponent.

Baron's got K /images/graemlins/heart.gifK /images/graemlins/spade.gif in MP1.

Preflop:
3 folds, Baron raises, 2 folds, CO calls, 1 fold, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: A /images/graemlins/club.gif10 /images/graemlins/club.gifA /images/graemlins/spade.gif
SB checks, Baron bets, CO calls, SB calls.

Turn: 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Sb checks, Baron bets, CO calls, SB folds.

River: Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Would this be a good situation to induce a bluff/bet from a weaker hand?

i totally understand that hes been playing back at you every hand, but knowing that he is going to bet any turn, unless you plan to call him down the flop call is -ev. if your plan is to checkfold the turn unimproved youre bleeding chips.


also, i think the twoplustwo standard is that A5o is too low to be isolating players. it sounds reasonable that you think your preflop equity is good so a raise has value, but A5o plays terribly postflop. when you flop an ace they checkfold and when they flop a pair they check call. you have no folding equity and all you end up doing is allow them to extract value when they have a pair and fold when you catch your ace.

if your plan was to see a showdown with the A2s then i think the flop call is ok. its tough, but i saw that guy making ridiculous moves against you so a showdown might be +ev. i just hate taking the 2 kicker to the showdown. with a higher kicker the decision is much easier for me.

button (seems aggro) opens, you 3-bet K9o with a huuge BB donk. don't like that bc of the button but I can live with it.

super close i think, i was discussing this with someone else too. im freerolling AJ and im getting value from worse aces. im not sure what i thought of SB but if i bet i must have had the impression that he capped lightly.

you open J9o on the button. both blinds call

flop A84 with two of your J's suit. SB idiot checkraises and without much deliberation you call /images/graemlins/confused.gif

and you end up losing to K high, which is exactly why you shouldn't do that

would you call if the board was 842r? i mean we're getting 9:1 and i dont think the A changes anything vs. this particular moron.

i may have c/f the turn depending on how i felt about the situation. but thats only half of my options.

if you had a specific read that the moron that he'll never c/r A high then I guess there's no difference. but if you think about your equity as the weighted average of your equity vs specific hands, you're basically dead when he has an A, and if that's at all a significant occurance, you lose a nice chunk of your outs

flop like 842 two diamonds

check bet call

he donks i raise he folds


how sweet /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That J9o BB hand where you defended against UTG+1's raise and button CC. Flop was T86 giving you OESD. You called button's bet on the flop. Fine. Turn was 2h. You c/r and river the nuts.

Is that a standard turn raise for you?

Also, I don't think anyone else mentioned the hand where you completed from the SB with T3o and flopped top pair.

That J9o BB hand where you defended against UTG+1's raise and button CC. Flop was T86 giving you OESD. You called button's bet on the flop. Fine. Turn was 2h. You c/r and river the nuts.

Is that a standard turn raise for you?

[/ QUOTE ]


i mix it up. sometimes i raise the turn with my OESD. usually the flop. i try not to keep a "routine" because i dont want them to know i have a draw every time i raise the flop and a pair everytime i raise the turn

How about a more sincere answer? It could help him explore similar questions that he might be asking himself about moving up and gives you a chance to think about your motives etc. It would be a valuable reply.

Tone seems generally inquisitive and not stand-offish to me.

[baronzeus]

regardless, saying things like "while i dont think you suck" and "what the [censored] are you doing" and "dont mean to be a dick" are negatively toned. i honeslty dont care to argue about it though.,

[ChicagoTroy]

Why spend all those hands in the low/micro limits, then? With $60K, it would seem like a waste of time. Nothing wrong with coming to the table with a fat BR, but since you couldn't have won that much in so short a time, it sounds like you spent tens of thousands of hands playing rinky-dink poker.

Just curious, as I haven't seen somebody take this route before.

Actually, there toned so that you don't think he thinks you suck and so you don't think he's being a dick etc. He put them in there because he did not want you to think that. He's shocked, he's curious etc.

ahh ok, i will reply to this.

i spent about 2 months (20K hands) at .5/1 to 2/4 full ring. after that, i moved to 5/10 short...played about 15K hands during this july or something, went on a huge downswing, lost a large portion of my roll, moved back down to 2/4 to rebuild a bit. got coached, went to the new 3/6 6m. played like 12K hands there, moved up to 5/10, 12K more hands, moved up to 10/20, 15K hands there, moved up to 15/30, 10K hands there, and after that i moved up to 20/40+. once i got to 20/40 i just played whatever limit fit my mood at the time since my roll was big enough to play any limit up to 50/100 if i felt i was +EV in the game

[kahntrutahn]

I do also, but it doesn't mean I'm ready for the game... obviously you could be a better player/faster learner/etc, its just an observation that brought about some curiousity on my part.

Might I ask what your goal is? Are you trying to speed your way to 300/600 HU or something of the sort? Or just very confident? I don't know, I guess I'm trying to understand the mentality that takes one up so quickly. I myself don't have confidence in my skills (2bb winner over 200k) or the disregard for money to sit at anything higher than 20/40 as of yet, and even then, I prefer 10/20... In hearing what you have to say, perhaps I will re-evaluate some things? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[baronzeus]

sorry for my initial reaction i guess. i just dont like people implying that i'll go "broke". my winrates arent great since i started but they are nothing to scoff at, and i genuinely feel like a winner in the games i play in, even when i am on a long downswing.

my advice is play whatever limits you feel comfortable in, it doesnt really matter what the $$$ value is because there are enough bad players at every limit that a good player can take advantage of.

Cool deal, maybe I should poke a bit more at the higher limit games. In a way, I admire your courage... I guess that I feel that sample size matters a bit more, and I look to prove to myself with some statistically significant amount of data that I am "above" my current level and should perhaps move on. You seem to take the "I feel like a better player, so I'm in it to win it" approach... I sincerely hope it works out for you.

have you read poker mentor's interview with James282? James seems to be pretty liberal in his advice as far as taking shots. bk moved up similarly as well. now for every bk there are 100 people who busted out, but it seems the idea has some merit.

i dont know exactly what you mean by 100 people bust out for every person who moves up, but i had about a 0% chance of "busting out" during my shots. for instance, my first 2K hands at 30/60 - 50/100 were a 170BB downswing but my bankroll was still huge.

Yeah, a lot of people, youself probably included, would probably move down limits if their shot didn't succeed - especially those who regularly post here. and who knows, maybe your move up wasn't a shot (though I guess that would vary from poster to poster, depending on how many BB defined a shot versus a 'move up'). but I bet there were people who tried to move up just as fast as bk and it didnt' work out so hot for them. the 1/100 figure was pulled out of my ass, and perhaps they are still playing 3/6 or 5/10 as opposed to going 'bust', but I guess the main point of my post was don't take all of james282's advice or bk's results, or whatever, and start taking tons of shots above your br - just that their advice seemed to show it had merit.

What I think he means is that for every person like you who successfully took shots and moved up quickly, there's 100 people who fail and have to move back down and keep trying. However it even looks like it took you a few tries. Who coached you btw?

Your case is a perfect example of why it's worth it to take shots since the reward is much greater than the risk.

ok I'm responding only because I was one of his doubters at one point. baron has a few unique things going for him. first is he's pretty obviously a really smart guy who picked the game up quickly. it's pretty incredible to watch that video and think he's only played about a half year (maybe more, not sure).

the second is that he plays a TON which enables him to move up very quickly. if I recall correctly, he plays around 40k hands a month. that is 3 months for most people.

third is he's managed to run hot which is pretty nice when you're moving up quickly. eventually it catches up, as it seemed to have (he said he lost 170 bb at 30 and 50, though that should be a bi-weekly thing at that many hands), but he's not taking big shots. he's just moving up fast.
