I decided to find a reason to post something about my own game today. Today I've played heads-up almost exclusively. To give an idea of my opponent, as that is important in headsup play; He beats the game, and he has a brain, I beat him quite a bit the last 2 weeks and now he's getting used to my play. This is to say, he's not the person I would like to play, I do however get to think more. I still feel I have quite an edge on him, if I execute right. Am I executing right?These hands were played in a row, Any hands that were just pre-flop I will leave blank and just mention is Jack or Her

I second what screech said. Raising here is just simply not smart poker.

Econ, Why would you raise with Ac Xc here? Guys this is basic SSHE (I hate bringing up that bloody book, but this calls for it I guess)

We all do, At that limit at party you probably DO want pokertracker. I don't want people deleting poker tracker after reading that lol. I'm just taking a different approach with him, I wrote up something on word for him to learn, and added a lot of posts regarding the math aspect of poker. He learns to range hands from watching me, I just think out loud and it actually helps me not to get off-track... ever...I recommend teaching and staking a friend, as long as they hit you back with a good percentage for x amount of money. It helps your game big time.TJ I could probably still work somethi

For what it's worth... I'm teaching a friend how to play, he'll watch me play and we discuss things.. So he's jumping a lot of the steps (which I know he is smart enough to do)I told him not to get pokertracker, and to never get it. Call me a maniac, call me an idiot, but that's what I'm doing with him. He doesn't need any crutches.

Good question.Don't you think that's a huge leak? OP... Don't go raising this flop man, you want multi-way action and you don't want to be putting your own bets in there at this point... Very very wrong to raise here... Nothing else in the hand should be looked at until you realize that.Hope I don't sound critical, but I was just suprised no one had cursed you out for it yet.

working on my sb defense range. this right?
JaysonWeber replied to JaysonWeber's topic in Other Poker Cash Games
Yeah Ice, I don't defend sb much either. I have the same exact idea as you really.I liked this though, it was going to be a big multi-way pot.. I will defend it with T 7 in this spot all the time. I had this come up right before I posted and defended with the T 6 because I think I can probably play it profitably..I just want to know what other people think... Can I play a suited two gapper in this pot? I liked to think I could because the UTG is a terrible player, So I knew dead money was there to take... The rest weren't very good either, nothing I'd be worried about. I'm not sure... -

I 3-bet AA-55 Here to get it headsup with the CO. -
7 handed 5/10 UTG limps (terrible player), CO raises, Button Folds.I hold 2 T I fold..I hold 7 T I call..Just want to get some opinions on this. That's all.

2, Read Jen's chapter first. It will make you money.

Why did you raise the flop?
-
Haha,I went through that stage too. It wasn't that long ago. I think I should definetly bet that river (assuming a blank falls), if villian checks. Even most good players wouldn't check this river with a hand can't beat AK. That's one of the advantages of checking the turn. I may induce a bluff from hands that I beat, and I may get a hand that would have folded the turn to call the river. You saved the best sentence for your last!

mayday, i'm goin down! when a move goes sour, hand 2
JaysonWeber replied to akishore's topic in Other Poker Cash Games
You're under the impression that this guy isn't going to bet again on the river? -
riddle me this, is folding here too weak/tight?
JaysonWeber replied to akishore's topic in Other Poker Cash Games
All good points, Calling this down sucks... But actually... That turn is even worse. If I was planning on calling down in hopes that he was gonna bet out his QQ or JJ I would have done what you did on the flop.I don't mind folding the turn after that Q comes up though, he capped pre-flop... Even a maniac doesn't do that with many hands other than JJ-AA or maybe AQs+.Gotta fold on the turn in this spot... Kings didn't work out. Against known opponents it's much easier to decide on the flop... but he is an unkown so you gotta go with metagame thoughts on this one. -

JaysonWeber replied to akishore's topic in Other Poker Cash Games
I don't know... I gotta disagree smash. I think you should disagree with yourself too :)There is only 4 bets in the pot now, relatively small, you've been doing this for a while now... He has rock'ish stats.. he's getting sick of this abuse. He finally got his hand to c/r you with. Do you really want to give him the benefit of paying him off?I don't know if I've gotten to passive... But I ussually fold here, and keep it in the back of my head... he now knows you can fold! So he might get a little crazy with you later, even if he doesn't... It isn't worth paying 2 more bets for that pot if -
You're gonna bet/fold here... hmm... Interesting.You think he's Just calling enough to make this worth it? I think we can assume that most of the hands he'll raise with here (if not, arguably all) after checking would have us beat.But do we give him enough credit to check/raise this river after we checked behind on the turn? I really think he'd just lead out with whatever he has don't you?It would take a really good player to set that line up, and try to make it profitable... I don't think it's a good line for HIM to take, therefore I don't think he'd take it. I think in his head, he'll tr

lol yeah, that was my "ME TOP PAIR ME BET" period. It was funny getting out of it, but certainly the best thing to do.I'm checking behind on the river too, Given nearly any river card. What's the point in betting it against this player? (I'm taking from the info given from Screech that this IS a good player) Betting this river is probably not profitable for us. Say a 2 comes on the river. I think I still might check behind.. unless He is capable of calling with KQ? I don't think he has KQ. I think we're beat.Are you asking both situations? If he leads...If he checks...If he leads...
-
So you were referring to the river? Forgive me, You know I don't read posts.
-
Well Smash, Glad to see you're still around... Always make someone provide a good lesson when you try to post.Thanks for taking the time to explain that to him Screech. I don't think anyone who advocates betting this turn has any excuse except for the one Chris and I used to love... "ME TOP PAIR ME BET"That's flawed thinking, You don't want to be betting this turn, It's just wrong..... do you see why? yet?

Shouldn't we be more concerned with the turn? Do you really want to bet that turn in this spot? Run the range through, see what he does with each hand. I don't know, to me it seems like a very thin bet. One I would make against a Maniac in some spots, but even there I might proceed with caution. He seems like a relatively observant player, doesn't this seem like a perfect c/r with an AJ?I like checking the turn, it's a very safe board to do this, and he might bet out on the river again... when he does I just call. I pray I don't make my 2 pair, an ace would be a nice card on the river.ma

Very Good Post. Not preachy/condescending at all. I have a lot of respect for screech (as you probably do to) so I gave him the benefit of the doubt on his pre-flop deicisons. Because just as you said... Why discuss them

Screech, First of, You know you played it right pre-flop.What about the flop? I haven't read anything yet, so I am sure you adressed the flop call. You can't raise this flop... but where you really planning on calling down with 2 to act behind you with just your 2?I don't think folding is a bad option.After hitting that 8, smile to the gods that be, and check/raise. You played it right, You ussually do.What are your thoughts on just folding the flop? If it were heads-up with this player I think he is loose enough but MP1 is in the mix, so you're fighting 4 overcards here aren't you?
-
No. But I wanted too really badly. This hand really reminded me of "The Psychology of Poker", where the author talks about how the good TA players not only know their stuff, but are able to act confidently on their reads. I got one part right in this hand.So you called his raise and then called the river bet? Oh well, next time it won't happen like that.Good Post by the way. Very good post.
-
Tight UTG Raised Pre-Flop right?So our range for him? Given a TA-A Image... I'd say something likeAK-ATs - AJo, AA-88, KQsWhat hands is he calling with here? What hands is he check/raising?What hands is he folding? Good Check behind here screech?p.s. No, I'm not back yet, I just stopped in quickly and saw this post. I miss this place ;)Peace.
