My calling range here is AK, QQ+, maybe JJ

in this.

December Results1) Play 7.5k hands at $50 NLFell short by about 2.5k. 2) +$750 (~10PTBB/100 hands)Over the targetted winrate, didn't play enough hands to reach the profit goal.January Goals1) Play 10k hands.2) Move from 4-tabling to 6-tabling.3) Move up to 100NL by end of month.

I preferred the 1.75 /18's, and then after that started to play the 3.25 /45's once my bankroll was about $120 (both are extremely lucrative.. especially multitabling them on a small roll). If you're a decent enough player, you should be able to build that bankroll up pretty fast. The amount of bad players kind of renders the risk of variance (aka going broke quickly due to a bad run of cards). 5NL is also an option, but its a slower grind. The sitngo play at the microlimits is so bad I'd advise you take advantage of it while your bankroll is low.

Yeah I know. I'm more interested in the percentages people would assign to the probability of him having certain hands. I understand how to do the math.

First off, I didn't put the stats up there as a means of supporting a fold. I think a lot of people have mentioned the sample size, which I already know is too small to support anything. I have it up there strictly as somewhat defining the villain as I've seen so far. I wasn't defining him as solid based on his stats, I was defining him as solid based on what hands I'd seen him play, which obv wasn't much.And I call here everytime in this situation. I want to be clear that I'm not advocating (even if I second guess myself afterwards) folding here, but simply trying to form a base for when to f

I was mainly concerned with UTG's raising range there, and the fact that button had to have been at the table long enough to know this.

?? he bet 1.10 into a pot of 1.40 lol. Anyways, 5.85 to win a pot of 14.05... about 2.5 to 1. I call here minus any significant reads and the fact that people at these stakes are more likely doing this with a draw or an ace with a worse kicker. My immediate thought processes for these hands are first pot odds, and then putting him on a range based on his actions and my perceived image of him.

Honestly, I've just learned to appreciate and acknowledge the flip side of it ( when I'm running well), and as a result running bad doesn't affect me too much. After a while you just kind of learn to evaluate your plays and not your results (I know it sounds cliche but its true lol). But yeah, take time off if you need it. Make sure that your focused when your playing, and try to evaluate whether or not you are making the correct plays at the time instead of caring what the outcome of the hand is.

stack sizes are needed to answer this properly, but generally a fold. i might mine for set value if youre deep, but generally its a bad spot oop and with an EP limper still to act.

I autocall as well. His range is ridiculously wide here.

Is villain on the button or in the blinds? (8-handed or 9-handed?)

I likely just check/call the flop for pot control purposes. I hate getting into huge pots in marginal situations oop. As mentioned previoulsy, I would have preferred to re raise preflop and take it down there. The reason I don't like C/Ring the flop is because your risking a huge portion of your stack in WA/WB spot. If he calls, it makes the turn and river pretty awkward, and you still don't have much of an idea of where you stand.

I likely fold as well. I doubt that both players hold an A with with worse hands than yours. I put re-reraiser on range of TT+, AK. The fact that it IS a 4.40 though, and with its top-heavy pay structure, I might be wiling to go out for a chance at having a nice chip stack for the FT.

Depending on reads, I'm either jamming or folding here. Calling isn't an option for me, since I don't want MP2 and MP3 along for the ride, and villain's considerably short. Most of the time I will jam here, since I'll assume that MP2 and MP3 will fold to an isopush and hence there will be enough dead money in the pot to justify it.

that was a pretty sick call on the river by genius with the A2

Switching back to cash games from multitabling $6 SNG's. Stopped playing poker for about a month, so trying to get back into some sort of playing routine. At the moment, single tabling $50 NL just to get comfortable with the play, but will hopefully be running my usual 4 tables in a few days time. Of course, jumping from $10 NL to $50 NL is kind of a leap, but the play isn't that much significantly better surprisingly (or maybe I just don't remember how bad $10 NL was lol)Goals:1) Play 7.5k hands at $50 NL2) +$750 (~10PTBB/100 hands)

I fold as well. We're at best a coinflip (and I really don't see AK/AQ limp in EP and then reraise too often) or behind QQ+. Even by a miracle we are ahead or at least in a coinflip, postflop play is messy unless we hit our set, especially with no reads.

Call. From my limited experience, this bet could be any 8, maybe two pair, but usually ISN'T a full house. I won't pretend to know what he was thinking handing out a 12x pot sized bet, but most players would tend to try and extract value of their full house. I've seen AA or KK pull a massive all in preflop in hopes of getting called, but I don't usually see this postflop with a strong hand. I call everytime in this spot.

god i was so close to bubbling in 3003rd
