New Challenge: Movin' On Up

[droberts 3]

new to table... first hand actually. ended up being 50/25/- over 4 hands... obv had Ax and left before the blind came aroundLike the river is an obv fold... so I need to pull the trigger yo

def the big raise trigger and not the fold trigger

[SwolyswoND 1]

looks like he is vbetting half pot on both streets... i might cbet .40-.50 on flop, check back turn, and prolly fold river unimproved. also what are his stats?

cbetting IP with KK on A82r is a very very bad play, DUCY?

agreedyou're down with calling the turn and folding the river?

[SwolyswoND 1]

I usually call river too, tbh. Lots of people think they can turn their PP into a bluff here because they are so sure we don't have an Ace. (Which is also why checking this flop with AK is good for balance)Edit: Or they have total air and are firing for the same reason. Villain was BB, his range is almost ATC here.

[droberts 3]

i understand checking back flop and calling turn and river... but do we also need to cbet to balance out the times we do have AK and get villain to call down with a worse ace?..if we check back flop with AK and villain leads turn and we raise... isnt he mostly folding his AxXx hands?

[babylondonks 5]

This is probably a pretty noob question, but what kind of bankroll is considered micro limits? Anything under $1000? $500?

Well if you're playing under the "20 buyins for a level" rule which is a fair one to follow, then normally micros are 50nl and below, and small stakes is 100nl and 200nl.

IPITS, the river is a fold sometimes but calling is fine too.

Why would we want to balance our cbetting range with a hand that has such good showdown value? Cbet like JT here or hands that have no other real value, or like pocket 5's. KK has far too much value as the 2nd nut one pair hand in this spot.And if we checked back AK why would we want to raise the turn? I mean it's easy to say "lol I has AK I raise". But really we're getting value maybe from AJ or a retard with an ace, while we lose a ton of money to AQ, sets, other two pairs, etc. definitely not a spot to raise AK on the turn this dry

I wish I could be a cash-game grinder. But I run so bad in cash games, it's sickening. Over 10,000 hands and I've yet to make Kings profitable...But for the sake of this thread, maybe I'll give it another go. GL!

10K hands isn't nearly a large enough sample size to determine anything. I'm not even sure if 30K is enough.

Not much you can do when bottom set decides to check/call you on a 2 flush/3straight board

[Merby 3]

Are you posting the hand twice to increase the villain's opportunity to raise the flop?

[fighter 4]

A challenge thread. Lets do it.

[babylondonks 5]

I think you have to bet/fold on of those streets James, probably turn, most of his straight draws will have a nine in the hole anyways

Also as you may well learn in this thread. I teach with tough love, the best way to learn is to learn it straight up imo. We all have to leave our egos at the door.

Hi! Playing live and posting from phone! I think it's a fold babs, like in your notes he likes to get it in light but generally one pair or something like a made hand

[KingJames 11]

If all your outs are clean you have 15 outs for like 30% and getting 1.67-1 you need 37%
