Managed to play tonight, good to play again tho didn't feel as confident as usual. Ran into a donk who stacked of with 33 AIP for 240bb pot, lost with AQ and he nitted up after that, but managed to claw some of it back with AQ vs QJ on a Qhi floop, then quit him as wasn't in the mood to play against a random button clicker 200bb deepUp about half a BI I think

In case anyone was wondering, I tried to reserve a seat in Caesars' Palace's sportsbook today for my next trip there... yeah... you need to be a Seven Stars Rewards Card Member (the highest you can be), plus wager >$10k in the sportsbook the day you want to reserve the seat for.Not terribly surprised, but still GG reserved seats.

More on the flop, just bet the turn and make it bigger than your raise.

In HEM does anyone know how to look at your stats for a certain hand like in PT3? like how many times i have hand AA and how much i have won or lost with it? when i click hands which is what it is in PT3 it goes to hand history.

I second this statementDavid: for the second hand, I'd bet like .70 on the flop, then around $2 on the slightly bigger turn (your bet was fine). As for the river you definately have to bet more, you're not folding to a shove, so you need to get as much value as possible from the hands that are check/calling. You have an awkward stack size of $7.10, if you bet a bit more on the flop and turn you can conceivably shove for a PSB. In fact, I'd still consider shoving here as you probably won't be getting much credit.edit: Reports -> Filter -> Edit -> Hole Cards

So yeah I had 59k going into the day. Blinds were 4k/8k/1k with 32 minutes left in the level. The first hand I was UTG +1. We were 8 handed and approaching a money bubble and the remaining 6 stacks behind me had 120k or less so I thought it was optimal to shove any 2 on the first hand if UTG folded. So I shoved Q6ss and I'm pretty sure the only player that would call lightish happened to pick up A9 and reshoved to isolate and board came 96335 so finished 29th for $705. You tourney donks think my shove is optimal there? Other thing to take in account is that even with my stack there were 10 stacks shorter than mine 2 of which were a little more than 1 bb and we were redrawing at 27 so there is a chance that in the next two hands that I could redraw away from the blind.

Since nobody else answered yet.... I don't like the shove. But I don't ever like shoving without something semi reasonable. Even then, I have to be pretty short and it's never going to be UTG+1. Even with a decent read on the table wanting to play tight, someone can always wake up with something, and the only knowledge you have so far is that UTG isn't one of them. I'd like to get as much info as possible if I'm going to shove something weak. But I think I am probably folding Q6 regardless, but styles may vary.

I dont like your turn bet, hes not folding anything better. So why so big?

its a good shove... especially in live donkaments.

Do you think i should check turn? or u mean bet smaller? what do we do if we check and he bets?

Even in such an early position?

I disagree, he's playing a 45/13/1.2, let's extract some value from this guy. We basically know that if villain raises, we're beat. But I think he's more likely to raise the flop than to turn with a hand.

Do you think i should check turn? or u mean bet smaller? what do we do if we check and he bets?

I'm pretty sure he meant a smaller bet. But I think against a guy like this he basically isn't folding whether we bet $1.30 or $2, and a bigger bet now lets us put in a much bigger bet on the river.

edit: Reports -> Filter -> Edit -> Hole Cards

ty Babylon i figured it out it is actually on reports then right below reports tab drop down arrow select hole cards. i couldn't find it earlier.also after looking at the hand closer i agree with your thought for bet sizing and betting just a little more to make a river shove seem smaller to the pot to get my call out of villain.

[babylondonks 5]

Don't quote me because I'm a tourney tard. But I'd say especially because he's in such early position? It's much harder for a guy to call an EP shove with A9 than a LP shove

[bull62 0]

I don't mind it being that short. You most likely have two live cards plus it's soooooooted. A big stack may even call with a sc or something just to try and knock you out.

shoving 72 there is profitable
