<p>Lol, I think you're frustrated as all on here are at one point or another. I'm no expert and barely break even (thanks to Bluefire I'm no longer losing) but fwiw I've found going against the grain to be best. You have to watch others closely but if the table is tight pre-flop, loosen your raising range. If the play is loose preflop go über tight. </p>
<p>If you can do this and not do spewy shit like shove KK on a flop with A or not shove AA on a board paired w/KK you should be able to at least break even. I'd also suggest betting out your premium hands (sets). Flush / straight chasers at least at the lower stakes or going to pay you off when you're generally a 2:1 favorite. Checking or slow playing is very bad because these folks need free cards and better players can easily spot check raises etc. If you have a strong hand bet, bet, bet...</p>

Trends: Tight 3bet/shove range preflop?

sammypoker — Mon, 13 May 2013 04:18:15 -0500

<p>Have been playing poker for years now and the last couple of months I've realized that players on NL50 does rarely "get it in" with hands like JJ and QQ preflop anymore. <br /><br />As far as I have discovered people have been tightened up their 3bet/shove range, and are more likely to slow down and play postflop poker.<br /><br />I would like to hear your thoughts on this topic.</p>

I REFUSE TOO BE A TAGFISH

ZENIZEN — Sat, 11 May 2013 00:04:23 -0500

<p>Keeping in consideration the dated information on poker and the fact that even the most retarded of opponents now play the whole tight is right game . What am i as an aspiring NLHE live/internet NOOB supposed too do to counter this? I have had different hands cracked knowing the odds etc and continue too play my style knowing its a long term result i am looking for. Now that being said ...Where do i look for that edge against supposedly inferior opponents ? Even more so the more i try and get tricky against said opponents i get fucking cracked for my whole stack . What seperates you high level guys from the dumbasses like me . I mean waiting for big pockets etc is cool but im like aight yay i got aksuited ima 3x BB preflop then everyone folds! yay for agression .......then i start too trap running shit like k2 suited looking for the nuts cuz most wont see that coming then.</p>
<p>the math kicks me in said nuts.'</p>
<p>How many premium hands do i need to get folded out too...... too realize i need too open my range .......</p>
<p>But when i do these FUCKING TAGFISH Take my whole stack . </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is where i understand the grind principle ....So me an aspiring Badass  decides ...i refuse too be a fucking sheep watch me pwn bitches ....So i go super variance ftw cuz i own soul im a fucking jedi ...So i destroy kids for a while until bam someone traps me and i might as well been running tag .....Now I feel like alot of you good players have been at this sticking point like me ...i could use some advice </p>

Re: Can you help me do some leakbusting?

<p>Without having seen you play I'd suspect the more experienced regs. are better against button raises as they're to be expected and often w/marginal holdings. Cutoff raises can be a little trickier to read...</p>

<p> </p>
<p>utg is going all in with <strong>39 BB </strong>, this means an pure sign of strenght.(also its a little of HUD depending , what is his PFR utg % ?) Its a fold with 10 10, would be a call if utg had 10 BB or less, or you had 10 BB or less.</p>
<p>in addition you have a really good working stack of 29 BB </p>
<p>Its better to put pressure on the blinds by yourself, than doing an marginal call.</p>
<p>Especially when 6 left @ FT</p>

<p>With these kind of pair plus draw hands you have to be few careful. you got to remember even againts ace jack your a small dog. If the stacks are short raise and get it in. but if you and the other player are deep its going to be hard to get it in on the flop as a favorite</p>

<p>Its a spot where no matter what you do you will look extremely strong, in situations like that I typically like to get the money in since just flatting other players will typically be able to play quite well vs your very strong range and value bet/fold/bluff appropriately. Big pairs just in general have very high reverse implied odds and when you narrow your range a ton by flatting any decent opponent will be able to punish you. Not only that but your inviting more people into the pot which you don't really want, you'll be forced to make very tough decissions most of the time in a 3-4 person pot seeing a flop, again the reversed implied odds thing.</p>

<p>i did think of shoving pre flop but took the blinds into consideration. with the 3bet i think hes got ax in his hand alot of the time.</p>

Re: NL30 (£) 6 max 2nd Pair OOP facing raise BVB

NeilGewirtz — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:17:13 -0600

<p>I havent forgotten about you. My quick reply right now will be simply our own pot equity is low, and we have no reason to believe our opponents bluff raise frequency is high enough to make up for this. This is an interesting spot and I would like to go more in depth about it, Ill either post the results here, or in an upcoming video and point you to it.</p>
