Some pretty hands )


1. 
Usual steal vs reg, nothing special

2. 
I like this hand. His sizing on the turn uniquely tells us that he never has strong hand in this spot. Set or strong ace always would bet x3 or more on such board to defend from draws => we realise that he has exactly draw. Then comfortable call on blank river.

3.
Usual fishy guy - had 5/5 bets incl.donks on river for that moment. On the flop he already told me that he hadn't Q => easy river call.

4. 
Lucky fish, lucky fish! The call is crystal clean by odds :)

5.
Hand special for ILUVTHRILL ;)

6.
The spot vs reg who can think. On the turn I had "Queen defends from draws", on river I continue with "Queen afraids to bet too much and hopes to get calls from TPs or two pairs" :)

7.
First day at NL100 in this year - the pot with two SNE )) I hadn't much stats at them for that moment - so by default put danny some premium hand. On the river I wanted to trap him - bet less than half-pot to show "fear of straight" and gave him chance for stack-bluff  (then would be call with set), but he didn't buy this - sad. 

8.
Villain 30/11 - he didn't float on the flop, so we already don't believe in king. Opp has high CBet and Af stats on the river, I don't see other value-hands except king (he would check QQ and less pocket, because of kings and 2s) => missed draws left.

9.
Don't be afraid to tell your price ;)

10.
Usually I don't make such OOP-calls of 3bet, but tired of reraises from this villain.

11.
Lol, he used to be a shortstack before PS actions to them. In 3Bet-pots this guy has 33% flop+turn folds and 22% flop+turn raises. I don't see any reason to check-raise Q or full-house on the turn in this spot. A fortiori I don't believe in 33/99 with his stats. In my opinion the better plan with these hands - to take value on the turn and to donk river or to shove in the turn at once to represent some draw.

12.
I like this hand too. Squeezer is reg, second guy - fish 32/1. On the preflop I realised that he tries to isolate Vasilien, so the range there must be a little wider than usually => easy value-call. On the flop I nevertheless looked at PT4 notetracker - it showes me his squeeze-range JJ+;AK - damn)) I think that flop-call already was a little mistake. Turn+river checks told me that he awares of ace, so he probably had QQ-KK..... Decided to represent an ace by myself )) Reg obediently folded, I didn't aware of ace from second guy - range is too wide.. even if he calls - my JJ would be strong often enough.

13.
BumBumRalle - nit, his range from UTG is veeery tight - so QJx flop probably was the worst ever for my KK. AA he would 4bet preflop, so KK(1 hand lol),QQ-JJ;AK - the most likely for his range.  After my check he didn't bet on superwet flop, so I excluded sets from his range. AK is left - I decided to bet turn. He is too nit to catch gutshot+overcards and folded.

14.
Tight 3bettor, UTG+1 vs UTG, notetracker says about QQ+;AK... My sense didn't betray me.

15.
Good fold by me as I think. Villain is tight and had 0/7 turn raises at that moment - so I excluded KQ from his range(too passive and only one Q left). The main thing - only six 77/99 hands left (besides, sets 77 and 99 he could raise already on the flop), with sixteen JT hands in his range. I called turn for full-house(22%), missed river... Sick, but had to fold then :)

.....................................................
At the end - my april so far:

Good luck, see you at the tables ;)

  1. Hey, I just discovered your blog cool results! Do you only play zoom? GL and keep it up!

    1. Ty, it's very nice to see the first commentator here) I'm not so long ago in a poker community, so this blog - my first steps in this sense.

      Yes, I play only zoom tables at present time. It's not very good from the standpoint of bumhunting for example. But there are other really comfortable factors such as speed, no need to selecting tables all the time and thanks from my poor eyes for playing without 24 tables on the screen :)

  2. For your JJ hand alot of the times you're going to get called or jammed on because hes a) not folding his queens and kings because you really dont rep it and b) he decides to slowplay his ace and you're just value towning yourself.

    1. Yeap, I agree, there was a risky river decision and I'm not sure is it +ev in a long run.

      But check-calling is not the usual way of playing for this villain - so he might check turn with ace, but I'm sure he would bet river.

      About KK/QQ - he probably could call less sizing... but 44BB has been too hard for him )

  3. "On the river I wanted to trap him - bet less than half-pot to show "fear of straight" and gave him chance for stack-bluff (then would be call with set), but he didn't buy this - sad." This reasoning is poor...the problem here is that danny can never rep a straight here (he knows that) and esp vs UTG after calling a 3bet from behind. If danny had had any indication of a decent hand he wouldnt of checked the flop IP himself. Also if you were really scared of straight you would snap check..not bet. When you bet you're more likely doing it more thin value and he knows hes way behind now. Or danny really had a drawing hand...so on the river instead of jamming over you he gave up because he knows you're in a situation where you have a strong range (...strong hand usually never bluffing here and even if you were bluffing turn...river is not a bluff anymore...possibly even put you on hitting the straight yourself).

    1. That's the reason why I'm still not grinding NL100 as a basic game... Gotta learn more for such kind of thinking.

      Thanks )

    3. Now I think I could easily shove river in this spot.

      He didn' catch fd and even KQ would be beaten because of paired board. I had top-two, and he never had sets because of bet-sizing. So I seriously didn't get value enough.

      PS if you're talking about sizing - it's standard for my steals from btn. I don't remember stats of this guy - if he's a whale, I could bet more for value.

  4. Lol I am not talking about you're sizing for steals. the only hand that really beat you he could have is 7's. You have to take out 3's once the board paired it and he definitely does not have queens. His sizing is really not that relevant tbh.. but yes its that you did not maximize your value here .

    1. Heres another hand I came across that might need analysis (IMO)...http://www.handconverter.com/hands/2470791

    2. I found this one.

      This villain raises flop 19%, folds to F 3Bet 0/3 times - so I can easily 3Bet for value. Besides such statistics in combination with min-raises often piss me out, and I start to bet too much :) Then his fold to T CBet 0/6 - so I continued barreling, all draws still draws, I'm still fine. On the river I could catch bluffs(and sickest 97), but his R Float 1/3, bet total 39% - he wouldn't shove missed draws.

  5. Hey, nice Blog!! Why is 72 hand for me? Lol

    1. Hah, it's because you've chided on me when I called 72s vs your steal and took pot by 7-kicker (you had 22, there were two-pairs on the board) ;)

      Ty and welcome )
