awoken in control of a lucid deep dream...

Buddy Jesus posted:

you haven't told us anything about the BB. From what I can tell, it looks like he doesn't want action. Any of the diamonds that beat you might do this expecting that you'll call down with a lot more of the flushes that he beats than those that beat him. In other words, it looks like he wants to push you off and he figures that's the best way to get the most action from you.

It's hard to tell without knowing if he's seen you call down a big bet like that, or if he's just a loose-aggressive, or what.

I'm confused as to what you're saying here. You say "call down", but it's a shove, there's no calling down, this is the end of the hand here.

You're saying he "doesn't want action" but then that he "thinks that that's the best way to get action". I think you need to know what level he's thinking at before you can make these statements and I think at best you might give him credit for second level here, in which case he made this bet with a low flush hoping that he could get flushes that beat him to fold (but, of course, not the A:d: ) - if you have anything but the A:d: then you have to think for a while about it, but I think he's doing this with low diamonds a lot more than he's doing it with high ones. If he had the A:d: or even possibly the K:d: then he probably would bet less and hope that he gets calls from lower flushes.

Blinds: $1 / $2

Seat 1: MP ( $195 )
Seat 2: CO ( $740.90 )
Seat 3: Hero ( $307.85 )
Seat 4: SB ( $492.30 )
Seat 5: BB ( $395 )
Seat 6: EP ( $211.75 )

Preflop: Hero is Button with T:c: 9:c:

Are we happy to get it in there with 150bb stacks, or should I just call the donk bet and re-eval turn?

Edit: Fixed up some Hand Converter issues & some pebcak.

Probably the worst flop ever for your hand. With his flop aggression I think raising his donk bet was all right, but I would have given up to his huge re-raise.

If he had put you on overcards and was trying to take the pot on the flop, don't you think he would have given up to your raise?

I'm a noob and a nit so I could be way off.

I put him on (in this order) Set/understr8, biig flush draw, small flush, nut flush.

In that spot I expect the Nut Flush to take a different line.

Realising that 150bb effective stacks isnt that deep... lets make it more deep.

IF effective stacks were 250bb, and same prelim action:
Villian from SB donks that board
Should Hero call+re-eval, raise/fold or raise/shove?

If you think he has a set or flush draw, I imagine the raise/shove is the best line as that is a pretty drat good flop for you. Chalk up the odd flush to variance?

What do you guys think of these river bluffs? What would you expect them to fold?

He's 24/13/3 over 100 hands. He's open raised into my BB a couple of times and I've folded. Normally I 3-bet to 10 here vs someone that keeps steppin on my BB yo, so 9 is a misclick or something. Haven't observed him in any significant hands.

Here on this river I really felt like he had a better hand and was thinking on this board i could push him off an overpair because I would easily play a flopped straight or set this way.

He's 13.6/10.6/4.0 and haven't seen him do anything crazy - also, his name style would indicate he is probably a 2p2er.

Is this a fold? Sometimes I see this where a guy limps in UTG or UTG+1 and calls a PFR. Then either check raises or raises depending on his position on the flop. Sometimes I see the minraise like this guy did. Usually I see AA/KK here.

this is so waaaaaaay too fancy play. just c-bet flop and slowdown if called. You can two barrel here in 6-max every now and then against habitual c-bet callers, not too sure how often you can two barrel flop and turn in full ring though. He isn't betting that river without a Q there. For all you know he just got lucky with KQ. His line there on the river seems like a small v-bet to get you to pay his straight or to try to bluff him off his hand.

I dont like this line one bit.

He is a set miner with those stats. Check the turn, you have the worst overpair possible. I'd want to get to showdown as cheap as possible there.

Hand1: I wouldn't try that there :( I think he'll call you.

Hand2: I think he is gonna call you with his overs. If he calls your big turn bet, he has got to expect you to bet again on the river which will most likely be a push.

Hand 1: what? you want to fold?

Hand 2: It seems okay. You can go for a fake delay pause there and c/r all-in on the turn. Your hand is pretty transparent as an ace here. Worst thing that can happen is he checks the turn if you call but then you can just v-bet or shove the river anyway afterwards.

The guy is a retard who minraised UTG. Immediately I will view him as an incompetent player. I'm probably not going to fold this unless hes a ridiculous nit who hasnt played a hand for 500+ consecutive hands.

Since I'm oop and he may be raising some flush draw I'd rather just 3-bet to $65 and then shove turn. I expect to be ahead more times than I'd ever be getting coolered with AA here. I don't like to call here unless I know for a fact that he will be betting if I check the turn. I dont want to allow him to get the turn and river for free to chase a flush draw or a 67 straight draw for incredibly cheap.

Souljah - I don't see a reason to 3bet the flop in hand one since you have the Kh, just call and re-eval the turn. This line from a minraise-call pre is usually massive strength right?

Hand 2 - you're only getting called by an Ace anyway so I don't think it matters whether you shove turn or flop.

First, you can't win every hand you play. If you think the only way you can win the hand is with a bluff, but a bluff doesn't work enough to be profitable, just let the hand go. Second, preflop nits arent always postflop nits. Those stats suggest he's really not that good, and only plays primo hands, and a so-so player who waits around for big hands pf will probably go all the way with something like an overpair on this board. Also, the board really isn't that scary, the only thing he could be worried about is a set, I doubt you're coldcalling from MP1 with 53 or 85. I don't think the turn bet is bad. He has a high af, and could have spite called your flop c/r with AK or something, and could easily take the pot away on the river if you check to him. But once you get to the river, I think you need to give up on the hand

This hand I could argue to say that you can shove all-in pf but youre almost 200bb deep so I wouldn't do this here. I could even argue to say that you should fold pf to his final raise instead of calling. I dont seem to remember 25NL people really getting very aggro like this pf unless they had the nuts. Your line seems fine here for me here.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2145631
I would prefer if you raised this to $8 or $9 pf as you will be oop postflop. Other than that I think 3/4 to full pot bets are good on all streets. Reads on villain would be very helpful here.

Since you have the Ad I'm never ever ever ever going to fold on this flop. You can just shove since hes got nearly half of his stack in already. He probably has a jack here with a high diamond a good portion of the time.

as played, call river, but that turn card is a GREAT card to cr. Your line can make sense to be a "scared queen or jack that is now checking because omg an ace!!" You then checkraise and get it in vs a range which you are crushing. If you bet again you just get it in on the turn - its so unlikely he'd smoothcall AQ on the flop, and now you beat QJ, AT/AK that floated, all other stupid aces he was just calling in position, KQ, KJ, etc. It's hard to build precise ranges against morons at that level but you don't need more than first-level thinking here - I have two pair, there's no 3-flush or 4-straight on board.

I primarily play 6max and I dont know how often or how nitty the fullring games are so my analysis may be a bit flawed.

Hand 1. Without the Ace of hearts in my hand here I'd rather play this quickly. I wouldnt mind just 3-betting it anywhere from $35 to whatever is my stack on this flop. If your line was to get it in no matter what with a c/r on the turn then I guess thats okay too but I'd much rather play this hand quickly on the flop.

Hand 2. This is such a sick turn because his line just screams I HAVE QJ. This is really read dependent meaning. I think vs an unknown I may try to find a fold here but it would take a lot to do so.

Hand 3. He is a shortstack tard. Second best overpair is fine enough for me to get it in there.

Hand 4. Sometimes I bet that river and sometimes I dont. Once again this is incredibly read dependant. Most of the time this is a random ten. Sometimes its a tard waking up with J9.

Hand 5. Here are the stack sizes:
Seat 1: nicknick552 ($136.20 in chips)
Seat 2: SlowHandAce ($65.55 in chips)

Easy call.
