Do we think the opponent was clicking buttons or has done some solver work?
@ZenMadmanPoker3 ай бұрын
I would assume a good $5/$10 reg has done some solver work and understands that it's useful to have some lower equity bluffs in flop check/raise ranges. A-hi with a triple backdoor seems like an intuitive candidate to me. Overpairs are also meant to c/r some there, and it seems highly relevant whether or not villain pulls the trigger on these at SPR > 25. Feels pretty uncomfortable, imo. It's one thing to study solver output enough to intellectually understand what these ranges should look like in theory. It's another to stack off for 200bb/$2k with them.
@brianfloyd22793 ай бұрын
Not sure about solver work, but caller says he is a scrappy player fighting for pots. Since they are fairly deep at 200+ bbs, opponent check raises flop to feel out hero's range, while he has back door equity with broadway, diamonds, and wheel outs, and possibly thinks a duece could be good at showdown if a king doesn't roll off. Of course opponent would be narrowing hero's range to KJ, AK, and spades draws. Half pot bet on the turn after picking up a decent amount of equity with a gutter and has fold equity if hero may fold off AK, KJ without spades, and possibly his spde draws, and pairs below the Q and 10...essentially just being a table bully. Then opponent nails his gin card and gets paid off, moving in with a polarized range of bluffing missed spades and straight draws or sets/straights combos. Of course I am not a professional by any means, and I am currently on 12k down swing of 1/3, 5/5, and little bit of 5/10. So my analysis can't be trusted! 😂 I would be curious if u could get the opponent on the horn and get his rundown of the hand without him knowing u spoke with this caller. Would be interesting to say the least.

Spicy. From the dynamic that the caller gave, I think cutoff knew button didn’t have better than one pair and thinks button overfolds and was probably blasting river regardless but got lucky. Considering their background I like the call. Question is does he blast if he missed 🤷♂️. Never know but dude sounds capable.

@@pot_kivach160you want bluffers to bluff when you have a hand that can call. You don't want to blow them out of the pot to defend against like 15% equity or whatever it is. There's merit to making yourself uncapped and hard to play against, but in this case, I don't think there's any other way to play the hand post flop. We should have hands like 33 and Q10 A2ss, 54ss, and 67ss sometimes Q5 and Q4ss so we're not totally unprotected here either, although this range is probably more narrow than our misses and weak made hands (which is why it's a good bluffing opportunity).

River is the 5s, still a decent card to overbet jam and try to get max value out of a smaller A, still expect to see AJ some of the time here but I jam for just over pot, get called and shown 45 off for the back door 2 pair, like what?

A few opponent hand combinations and considerations that I don't think was talked about near enough were AQ, KQ and in particular those hands that had either one or both cards with spades. When hero didn't 3 bet his post flop reraise villain is never putting hero on a set or top two pair with the two spades on board. And villain is not putting hero on a flush draw either because he blocks them if he has spades in his hand. So villain is likely putting hero on the exact hand he had with very few 10's in the range, with the other option possibly a straight draw but he also blocks KJ or AJ with the A or K in his hand too. So when the blanks come on the turn and river since villain fast played his top pair/good or top kicker he's might make the polarized bet for one of either two reasons: 1) for value if he puts hero on KQ or QJ hoping hero calls thinking he missed his draw(s), or in the alternative 2) he puts hero on AQ himself, and might think the all-in bet pushes hero off the chop if villain might not think hero would call with only top pair and not believe villain would shove on a missed draw.

The flop CR froze hero like a deer in the headlights. He became willing to stop all aggression, yet hand over the entire $2000. Not a terrible strategy for flop and turn if he knew hero's exact cards, and that hero would shove river regardless of hand strength. But both of those things were quite unlikely. The key decision point was on the flop. Hero needed to recognize that each player was only on the hook for $30 of a $75 pot so far, yet was sitting with $2000. Betting $30 as 40% pot is OK if you're willing to give the hand up when you're on the hook for $60. If you're going to call down with villain blasting off on all 3 streets, you need the aggression to not be 100% from him, and 0% from you. Old-school "gap theory", villain needs a stronger hand to call down your own aggression with than blast off with. I'd never bet $30 on that flop with $2000 stacks, unless bet/folding or inducing so I can 3-bet. But if I do end up in that situation, and get 5x'd, I'm either folding or 5x'ing it right back, mixed in with minraising a small percentage of the time representing the absolute nuts. I guess I could be generous and say hero played a masterful game of "rope a dope", and got sucked out on. But at no point did he ever take control of the betting, and at no point did he size a bet or make a raise in a way to help "see where he's at." Playing 5-10NL hands for stacks, when you have no idea where you're at, is not a very good idea.

The other player calls and wins with JJ. The bettor shows Q10. At this point I was completely furious. Later, I get QQ and raise aggressively. I am now heads up with this loose aggressive player. The flop comes A95. The same player that bluffed me off from my KK hand bets 150% of the pot. Now my thought is that I am not going to allow this guy to bully me.

V's bet size screams a combo draw. He wants me out of pot now. If I just call, it's a lose/lose situation. If he a) missed his hand , I ve got $0.00 form him; b) hist his hand, I lost. Shoving is the must! . River: CO jams...well, I have no scenario here (as I would not arrive at river this way). Now, all depends on (A) V profile. Splashy?

I only play recreationally now, but before 2008, I'd play 100,000 hands a month online, but I spent 3 * the amount of time, just going over hand history, and even more time studying, and we had way fewer tools available. Someone who is playing live 3-4 times a week, could be spending 20+ hours a week studying poker, and going over every potential combination. Honestly, I don't find Ad2d to be an odd hand. 1. You have to have aggressive bluffs in your hand, and an easy way to work this in, is incorporate backdoor, especially the backdoor nuts. 2.The 5c on the turn is important, because you need to have in foe's range, what backdoors could be in play, and As2s, As4s (you know he doesn't have this on the River), Ad2d, Ad4d can all be in play (on the Turn) Then, the 4 on the river means all the Ax2x combos just wheeled up. BTW, you were not playing the hand as if you had QT, so this allows more aggression by Foe. Plus, one of the reasons to bet these backdoors, is that when they come in, often people pay off. Your foe played the hand really well, IMO, as there was such a wide range of hands he could have, some of which you beat, making it really hard for you to make the correct decision. The key to this hand is, REMEMBER THE BACKDOOR hands. Those fractions of a card for equity actually do matter. It is these tiny edges where players can make a ton of money.

“All the Ax2x combos…” You mean 2 of them? A studied players isn’t opening A2o and checkraising A2hh or A2cc seems absurd. You’d be way overbluffing.

_I'd play 100,000 hands a month online, but I spent 3 * the amount of time, just going over hand history, and even more time studying_ you're funny. Doing simple algebra comes that you worked 28 hours a day. And so for months, years!! lol... Also, playing 3300 hands a day does not allow application of any thinking as the result of deep and thorough studying. When study deep, and get some results, one has to apply those results carefully and that takes a time. . BTW, not sure what BACKDOOR hands are you talking about.

@@pot_kivach160 You don't seem to be aware of multi-tabling. I played 16 tables at at time. Many played more tables, but 16 was the max on PokerStars at the time. It is over 1,000 hands an hour, 25 hours per week. Plus, hand history review can and was done while playing. The decisions made while multi-tabling are trivial, after you've played 300,000 hands. I spent about 75 hours a week devoted to poker back then.

He is exploiting the small flop bet. CO has to check a lot here (even simplifying to check 100% is not bad) which means BTN needs to check or bet big. The small bet is likely a custom size the caller is using that is capped and potentially overbluffed.
