New Challenge: Movin' On Up

[trystero 0]

had seen him resteal b4 (or what I thought were resteals)The move is powerful enough where I only get called by AA/KK especially with the shorty halfway in bc it looks like it can never be a bluff... my had has great equity against the shorties range as well bc i was expecting him to call

just call a spade a spade: it was pointless shove. you get called by a range way wider than AA/KK: basically any big pocket pair and AK, and you don't think you get called by AQ by a dude who open shoved A6? do you think he's going to fold his entire 3-betting range save aces or kings? wtf?striving to final table is a good excuse to gamble and to play aggressively in defensible spots. that was a clear-cut fold pre. I don't recall stack sizes but you had a very nice stack relative to the blinds at the time.

GL crushing 5nl again. Def wait til you're rolled properly.Like I was gonna move up to 25nl at 25 buy-ins, but I'm still playing 10nl bc of how crushed I got at 25nl last time. So if I have a bigger bankroll and continue to work on my game, only good things can happen.+++++++Syntonic, Babs, place nice!

nice place

I want to grow up to be just like you.

And so you should. Take a chill pill, I tried to be serious/genuine in this thread and it's just not worth it, so I much prefer to get rid of my early morning/late night grumpiness here instead.

What are you talking about? My high horse? I'm simply stating that this guy is a maniac and I think it's a huge mistake to just brush this off as a trivial fold because you get raised on the river.I have never played against this guy, obviously, so the only things I can go off are his bet sizing and his history of play. Yeah, obviously he can have a better full house here, but statistically, this guy is maniacal and historically he plays crazy.ReallI want to hear your argument for why this is a fold, because it is not obvious to me.

To clarify, what you wrote in your original response is that against almost all villains this is a call and even against the "nittiest" nits it's "close". This is what I responded to originally and this is also what you highlighted in my post backtracking and saying that you were always talking about this villain. It's close against this type of player because his rampant aggression is usually in spots where we show weakness but I probably still find a call, albeit not a very happy one. Against most ssnl regs this is a fold, against me I may find a call because I might turn an ace into a bluff on this river, etc. Really it turns into a level war. You can't just look at your absolute handstrength and decide your ahead, particularly this deep.edit: also the looseness/aggression stats you've quoted are from 5/10 HU which is pretty diff to 3/6 6m super deep

[Syntonic 0]

Nice hand.What did you put him on when the K hit? Two pair? I'm a fan of overbetting rivers like that, so, /thumbsupMaybe I'm just tired, but I have this mental image where the 'chips' are oreos at your home game. I guess I just think scooping 600 oreos is funny.I am weird.

Should bluffing, or semi-bluffing if you want, change the amount of a c-bet to reduce the risk, or should it be just as hard as if I actually did have something?Converting hands till the cows come homePokerStars No-Limit Hold'em $0.01/$0.02 - 6 playersButton: $1.87 SB: $1.01 BB: $1.60 (Hero)UTG: $2.61 UTG+1: $3.79 CO: $3.46 Preflop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with (6 players)UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 calls $0.02, CO raises to $0.08, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.20, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $0.18, CO foldsFlop: ($0.51) (2 players)Hero bets $0.18.

Yeah, def thought he had air, 2-pair, sets, or straight. He's a station, so I honestly think I'll get a call from KT as well.I did bring oreos to the game last night. nice read. Everyone made the rounders KGB jokes, hahahaha, triple UI once put oreos in a chip rack, and they don't fit very well...

Raise more pre-flop. 4x + 1bb for each limper = 6x yo!Flop and turn are good imo

[Manign 0]

So I should've raised to .12?

[KingJames 11]

So I should've raised to .12?

Yup. When players limp, they generally won't fold (bc they are bad) Their range are weighted toward pairs (22-TT) and AXs. Between your positional advantage, and your card advantage (flipping vs pairs and dominating AX) you want to make them pay. imo

[Ninja Ace 1]

synchonized breaks are cool and all... except when it's right at the freaking beginning stages of all my tournaments...

[KingJames 11]

Another LOLive hand: .1/.25 6 handed, 200bb effective (I have him covered)Hero is UTG with T T :heart:Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, co calls, 2 folds, bb callsFlop ($3.10): 9 4 4 :spade:bb checks, Hero bets $2.25, co raises to $8, bb folds, Hero???co plays a fairly wide range of hands in position. He flopped two pair with 32 and boated the river vs QQ 3-4 orbits prior.After tanking for 2 minutes he asked if I had 72 and sat back looking uninterested. I had cut out a raise to $19.75 at that point. Sexy $29 turn shoves ftw...Thoughts?His value range imo is like A4, 54, 34 and 99, but sometimes ppl do weird things on paired boards bc they think you have AK...

[Manign 0]

God, just went all in with pocket aces and freaking lost to trip 6. I went .12 raise preflop and he still stuck it. I hate low stakes so much.
