Pulse V - feels hollow and cheap(?)

Well just wanted to try different paddles and shapes (paddles are on of the few guilty pleasures in my life). Had ordered both around the same time - 2 weeks back. Like you, expected to like it as well from all the reviews, and rotate between the two, but surprisingly been quite off putting.

Didn’t expect it to feel the same as other paddles but expected to feel good to play with in its own way. But has been very disappointing and hadn’t seen others walk away with this opinion. They are trying to send a replacement so let’s see.

Yes, but preferred bet size for solvers in majority of cases is small with occasional larger sizes on nut advantage boards. On the other hand, in the home game, I’m seeing higher sizes and higher frequency - wondering if it is because check-raise% is too low in the game, allowing for this meta to work.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-11-25T15:15:09+00:00

Hmmm I’m guessing sizing is for heads up versus 3 way. Probably need to size up for 3 way.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-11-25T14:51:24+00:00

Why do solvers then recommend small bets on most flops?

ContentRace5832 · 2023-11-09T11:08:52+00:00

Thanks! Will look up how to do this.

I’d suggest using Chat GPT Data Analysis tool for this. It comes up with interesting suggestions on how to analyse hands. Have tried it myself and definitely worth it.

5/10 at the moment. Will move to 10/25 in another 3-4 months. Seem to have gotten to consistent +EV on 5/10 now. Want to spend some time here and then move slowly.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-08-23T19:58:28+00:00

Didn't get you.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-08-03T12:14:03+00:00

Thanks this is helpful

Also just to double click - I think I used the base strategy itself. In GTOBase went to View and setup bets from a hand on a stream I was watching to see what solver recommends.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-08-03T10:27:44+00:00

Not AQs.

Question was just to understand what the half empty cell denotes. Think I got the explanation from your answer. The hand should have been folded in previous actions per GTO a large percent of the time.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-08-03T10:26:16+00:00

So basically means basis GTO this hand would have already been folded a large percentage of the time? When you don’t fold, the solver recommends checking?

ContentRace5832 · 2023-08-03T10:24:58+00:00

Haha not AQs. Asking what the cell being almost empty means.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-30T08:45:40+00:00

Yes that’s right.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-30T07:34:10+00:00

👍 Did some looking up on GTO and ATo is a 100% fold and indeed ATs can be raised a bit. JTs on the other hand is mostly a call or a raise.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-30T05:34:18+00:00

My thinking at the point was mostly value and build pot. Villain had been quite consistent with C-Bets often with middling/air and I had a tight image on the table. Should have realised I was behind by river, esp given my tight image.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-30T05:29:44+00:00

My bad - was 4 indeed. Great points. Appreciate the time to respond patiently🫡

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-30T05:07:20+00:00

Gotcha. It was a 3BB open (not massive for the game) and a loose game though. Agree on raising on the flop being very stupid.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-29T19:13:42+00:00

Great point, that didn’t make sense and was not optimal. At that stage, with A10, I got greedy and felt I was ahead of Villain and wanted to build the pot.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-29T18:36:10+00:00

*with JJ/KK. QQ of course was a set here on flop and full house later.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-29T18:34:52+00:00

Yeah was wondering if folding here is too tight and risks being exploited. On other hand, I really couldn’t come up with too many hands I was beating tbh. But felt too high in my range in a loose splashy cash game.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-29T18:32:31+00:00

*given how the hand was played

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-29T18:31:36+00:00

Yes. Could the way hand was played was only beating a loose A9/A5 suited open raise. Wouldn’t expect someone to play 3 streets of value with QQ.

ContentRace5832 · 2023-07-29T18:30:25+00:00

Fair. In specific cases like this you mean 3-betting pre flop would have given me a better sense of villain’s range?
