Let's get back to the game!

New month only two sessions. 


My mindset after this break is fantastic! I fell like a CEO of a big company. Not sure how to explain it. Something like "I have to go to work, but I'm so fucking sure about my skills that I'm happy to do this". Funny thing is that Italians started to ask me on chat "Hi, are you making a video now?" "Your vids are inspiring keep doing!". I didn't notice if they changed their game  vs me. Maybe they did but I'm not going to think about it :)

Hero ???

This guy is quite specific. He plays 18/15 OR BTN 40 cbet 71/51/45 very small cbet/fold like ~35 and huge cbet/3bet ~30 after 8k hands. Pretty agressive AFq 40. I know that his vbetting range on the river is very strong, and he can't tvbet enough.

With his cbet/3bet and my x/r range flop is pretty stnd. I don't know what he is doing with overpairs and FD on this board so don't want to scary him and shove on the flop. The turn is blank and decided to do sth weird. If he has, a FD I don't want to give him a free card and my line doesnt make any sense ;). Also with my read about his valuebetting range, I'm not sure If he bets TT+ on the turn.

The most beautiful thing is when you know exactly how to get the most value you can. When you see a barrel happy guy and you know that under representing your hand is the best play. Clicking call on the river feels almost like solving the most mysterious enigma ;]

Do you have some feedback? More photos, more videos, more poker or more life?

  1. Turn is okey, I usually play the same line just to represent crap/draw or play such a brainless line to induce spazzes from villains. Still I would probably raise F one more time just for the same reason mentioned above.

    I'm not folding that hand on river. I dont often see people playing draws w/ cb/3b line. If you check, 99-QQ gonna xb, while low bet can induce sth/ make the overpairs call it :)

    1. Hah good point. I was thinking about it. Maybe they are just checking the lines. You know there is a really small field on NL200-600, so a lot of hands with the same players.

  3. What about small flop 4bet with A8? Could induce some spazzes possibly

    1. MP was really agressive player playing only NL400+. We dont have big history and I ddin't remember If he saw me dbetting. Decided to underrepresent the hand from the flop. Dbet is also very good here.
