okay, so i was 100 short of 1K since i woke up. went on a super gross run. it was awesome and actually put me in a good mood. if the guy had been any player at all i easily would have lost 100BBs instead of 50. now i'm all pumped to put in a bunch of hands today.

Anyone know where you should be @ with VPIP for 6 max games? I'm thinking 25ish?

For 4-6 handed my VPIP is around 38 but I'm a calling station who runs lucky.

25 is quite nitty, fwiw.I usually ran around 27/19.2p2ers will tell you 30/20 is good.I was a bit tighter because of the rake at the 3/6 and 5/10 games.I know guys crushing 30/60 who have like 35% VPIP, and then there's Bob who crushes everything, and he's 38%.Basically, when playing limits where rake isn't as much of a factor, which I imagine you will be, play as many hands as you can against bad players, lol.

put him on a nine most of the time, honestly. i'm just trying to weigh the odds of a nine calling a raise vs. having to fold if he actually 3bets a jack.

I think it comes down to reads, if you put him on a 9x raise for sure , he prolly has to pay u off doesnt he?

I think you get 3-bet more often than called by a 9 fwiw and I don't play LHE

and why is that? checky raised turn, villian led out again on river, if checky raises, I cant see villian 3 bet him, more a fold or a crying call, but 3 bet????

Well how many hands does he open UTG that contain a nine?I think it's possible to value raise against ace-high or a lower pocket pair here, but i think given that he opened UTG a nine should be lower part of his range unless he's really loose PF.I like a raise here because from his perspective his line is so weird that you're river raising range is wider than normal hence he probably/hopefully calls lighter to.I think it's super close though.

[checkymcfold 0]

that hand is officially not my problem anymore. now i'm more concerned with winning when i flop 2p. any help?

[navybuttons 15]

raise river or no?

i do. a raise is getting looked up by 33-88, A9, K9, Q9, and possibly AK.

fwiw, that guy raises any sort of garbage whenever preflop but plays fairly ok postflop. i'd imagine that he puts me on an overpair, honestly, which is why i was semi-concerned about the river donk.

Looking at this again and given that info, i think this is a raise because it's a pretty odd line for him to take with anything, i don't see why he would have a jack here, though i don't see why he would have anything given his actions.

omfg i am running bad today. like, wow.

i also think that he takes that line with a jack, honestly. most of the decision was concerning how much i hate getting 3bet and the likelihood of him calling a raise with a nine (which in retrospect is dumb. he calls a nine every time. navy, i do think, however, that he is folding underpairs to a nine if i raise.).

I think you made the right play calling river, thats what I woulda did fwiw.
