How can I get the most value from this hand? I cbet a ton, so I thought checking the turn would get me a bet. I think the turn c/r is not right, as it looks super strong.

Do you barrel this turn as a bluff often? I do. So I continue firing turn. I doubt players at this level are that sophisticated that you need to balance your range, so I don't hate the way you played it.

dlingdling is a poster here, i believe?I don't mind flatting the turn here and then donking the river for value

yeah, that factored into my mind, as someone who is a poster at a poker forum is more likely to float and make a play on the turn. I think your line of calling then donking is probably the best.

*Agrees*It sounds daft, but for all the 'Just play ABC poker' you read it ain't that easy.Is there anyone on here that's made a profit from 10NL over a good sample? I know there's a few of us struggling with it and maybe all it'd take is a rail or 2 from someone who can consistently beat it to sort us out
I have at stars, not at Tilt. pretty much...
This year I've played 111,234 hands at 6max 10NL. It's not surprisingly complex. It's horrifyingly bad. There's just no way to put anybody on a hand because people will almost literally play any two. What you're reading as complex play is 9 times out of 10 just a donk getting lucky or a donk thinking they're getting tricky and you paying them off anyway. Basically, if the 75/10 is suddenly putting a lot of money into the pot on the turn or river, your top pair is beat for sure and two pair is probably beat. It took me a very long time to understand this. I never beat 10NL for a great winrate but rakeback makes a huge difference especially at 10NL with the double rake. I challenge any of you playing 10NL to play for a few days at no more than 18/15 and fold to aggression any time you only have one pair and see what happens. Rarely call preflop and rarely call a river bet. I was playing 10NL as recently as April. I'm playing 50NL now. It can be done. Here's a link to the page where the light bulb starts to come on again. Good discussion that goes on for a few pages.http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...31&st=17400
... this. The biggest thing is to raise pre, cbet every flop, and give up when raised and you have nothing. The real skill comes in working out what they have when they just call. but I reckon the majority of my money came from raiseing and c-betting, the games are just so straight forward, and you leveling yourself if you think otherwise (it's ok I do it a lot myself)
Folding when you know you are beat, ainec.Mark
And this is also really important, and also why my downswing this month has been much worse that it should've been. I've lost hands to suckout, but hteres been a lot of bad dalls, and a lot of bad bluffs. seriously nl10 is so easy, any aggression (except from aggrotards, but there are much less than you think) and I'm dumping most one pair hands. And if I'm not, I'm trying to play a small pot (like with maybe tptk, or an overpair)
So, on Monday January 21, 2008, I gave up playing 6m and decided to dedicate myself to HU only.6 months later:6monthsmr5.jpg6monthsevac3.jpg
I think I'll be switching to mostly HU, my new computer is not going to be anyhwere near as nice as my old one, because I'll I don't have as much money. I'll actually probably get and eeepc, so multitabling will mostly be out, So I'll probably be forced to just play two tables of HU, or one HU one 6max. What's your rakeback like, I'm not as desperate to get to Supernova now, because I've decided to buy a really cheap motorcycle for like a Grand, rather than a good one, so I don't need concierge as bad, but Supernova would be nice still. I don't know if you know, but is it possible to earn enough VPPs to make supernova, based of the amount of rakeback you earn at Tilt?

If you feel he fires the river a lot here you could go for the CRAI too, but I would need a very strong read that villain is going to bet the river.

One piece of advice I have is to convert your hands. They are much easier to read, give more details and will get you better advice (there are so many hands in here I rarely look at unconverted hands unless something is bolded and I know someone chatboxed a call).

Rakeback for HU is pretty minimal because its .50 cap on rake plus a lot of hands are raise and take it pre. I don't know how VPP's work in comparison to rakeback but if I play like 20k hands of HU in a month on Tilt I get like $500 in rakeback.

I miss the days when Acid tried to play 6-max and would constantly shovel four buyins trying to push someone off the second nut straight and get mad because he was obviously repping the nuts. :club:

I think I'd mostly get mad when I was repping the nuts and they were calling with 4th pair, that they turned.God I hated 6-max.

Don't wait for safe cards in NLHE, that's for PLO. Also, it's not like it's a super draw heavy board like JT7 with a flush draw. Oh, and have the Ace of Spades next time you want to not reraise that flop.Oh yeah, always reraise the flop.

That's why I just blindly fling money into the pots until they fold.My green line is proof that this works (unless they call, see blue line for details)
