Lol, I played him yesterday for 100+ hands and promptly got stuck $250 before turning it around to end up -$30, thank god.

I'm qpdbqp who played the first hour and a half or so. I'm not a very frequent poster, but still lurking.

I agree that the article is on the simplistic side, but DN never says it is that black and white. The guys in the article are just examples. This is something I'm not sure I get. Are you two saying that it's something inheritently good in taking risks per se? The way I see it, you can be very conservative with bankroll management and still aggressively take shots at higher limits with money you set aside for that purpose. Why would you ever need to put so much of your bankroll on the line that you risk going broke?I guess that for some people the risk works as a motivation to get better quic

I resent that. We're never not drunk.

What brings me to folding in this hand is the caller in between. The image problem is less of an issue then, imo. It's also more likely we're either already beat and drawing very slim or having even fewer outs. And the extra caller doesn't help our odds much.Another thing is that we should make sure to call with good hands too, so that a call from us on the flop doesn't automatically mean we've missed, cause then we're just as exploitable, only it costs us more.

Agree. It's common that people peel the flop and then fold the turn. I won't put in any more bets though.

I let this one go on the flop. If one of them has a king we're drawing very slim and it's also possible one of them is on a flush draw, devaluating our backdoor draw even more.

I play it the same.

I think calling turn and river > 3-betting.That way we always get to showdown for the same price as the 3-bet, free showdown. We are also likely to get the chance to raise the river if we hit, which makes the 3-bet on the turn less useful. Also when we're behind and he caps we have put in a lot of bets on the turn with an equity disadvantage.

Hmm, normally I'm c/r-ing this flop, but maybe donk betting gets more money in there if he has an actual hand or think we're full of it. If he raises then we can c/r turn.I don't really like the turn line. I play these pots pretty straight forward and hope villain has something. We'll not make much when he doesn't have anything anyway.

We're putting in 2 BBs to win 5.5BB so this has to succeed roughly 1 in 3 times to show a profit. I'm cool with that against an aggressive player who's capable of folding.

I play it the same.

I raise pf to isolate.As played I bet the flop. Button may raise and clear out the field for us in this pretty big pot.

Depends a bit on the blinds but I generally like to raise here. We're ahead of villain's range and he's bad so we'd like to play him hu.

I play it the same. Without SB in there I would 3-bet to increase fold equity on the flop.
