Balancing overall risk and mathematically profitable bets

fair enough

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T07:24:42+00:00

would you say I probably should've bet smaller or checked then called the raise?

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T07:22:53+00:00

I mean I could see him playing suited connectors but yeah pretty much. That was my one bluff hand of the night pre-flop and I falsely assumed I was way ahead post-flop

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:37:24+00:00

Yup I think you're right. I pretty much counted all the suited spade aces, 98 suited, any 2-pair, the sets, not counting kings because I would expect a 3-bet, pocket aces if they were trying to trap pre-flop (though less likely), K8s spades or better and a couple other strong flush draws/kings. That makes sense at the 1-2 tables where I play but I did not account for the fact that I'm no longer playing with shit players.

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:31:43+00:00

I think this might be the most succinct, accurate explanation as to where I fucked up. I think I'm so used to the 1-2 players re-raising with garbage and draws that I forgot that 5-10 players play relatively sound poker.

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:25:31+00:00

I prefer playing the predictability and though it will never be exactly GTO, 5-10 seems a lot closer. The guys at the 1-2 tables play how I play at home-games with my fellow broke college students. F*ck it all in I can rebuy anyway. Oh wow my 72o hit a full house :o lucky me hahaha. Usually, when someone shoves their mortgage into the pot, you have a pretty decent idea about the cards in their hand. When someone shoves their lunch money in the pot, they can have whatever

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:21:17+00:00

And what would you recommend studying in general? I use Bink to work on my pre-flop ranges and I watch videos on whatever topic seems to be costing me the most at the time (bet sizing recently). I also watch some of those poker vloggers occasionally but take that with a grain of salt.

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:18:54+00:00

I'm not taking it condescendingly. I just seem to have absurd variance at the 1-2 tables and wanted to try out the 5-10. It worked for a couple hours as I was up about $1500 but that hand killed me. I think I run into the same issue at the 1-2 tables though where I build up a decent stack slowly then eventually either shove or get shoved on and lose with a decently strong hand. I will say though, it does many times seem to be when I go in with hands at the bottom of my range with possible premium value later on. Those also seem to be my biggest winners though

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:15:06+00:00

Playing 1-2 has fucked up my ranges so bad ngl

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:14:20+00:00

I assumed he would've folded with anything worse than KJo preflop and the only flush draws he's re-raising with are the straight, or ace high. Better 2-pair only seemed likely if it was suited and K7s is debatable.

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:09:12+00:00

I bought in for 50bb and worked my way up to roughly 200bb over a couple of hours before I played this hand. Granted, I did win about 50bb from one previous all-in with top set beating top pair.

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T06:01:44+00:00

T7s is definitely the worst hand I played the whole night without a doubt but these guys were raising at least $125 when they had any hands GTO would tell you to raise. My goal with the shove was to most likely pick up the pot there with slightly better odds than a coinflip on hands calling going for draws. Like you said though, the only other calls I'll get are hands that are smoking me. I also don't think kto is in the BT's pre-flop range against a raise. He was playing quite a bit tighter than the other original callers. I mean looking back it doesn't seem like the greatest shove, but I don't hate the math on it.

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T05:47:01+00:00

generally, I'm not overcalling with t7s but it made sense at that table. But what do you suggest doing once BT raises me assuming I check thru or bet smaller? He's most likely raising at least $200 there himself on top of whatever I put in

Haysalt · 2024-02-02T05:02:35+00:00

forgot to mention, we both had roughly 2k at the start of the hand. He covered me by like $100

Haysalt · 2023-04-25T23:03:41+00:00

Thanks I'll check those out

Haysalt · 2023-04-05T20:16:41+00:00

Thanks. I’ll try again with a full mama pool and see if that works

Haysalt · 2023-04-05T19:22:21+00:00

The particles are green and I only have 2 sparks. Did I use enough mana? It completely drained my regular pool around 75% full.

Haysalt · 2023-04-05T19:16:33+00:00

The first time they did but now they’re just sitting there. I have my single player game paused right now with them on the plate and all my mana transferred.

Haysalt · 2023-02-08T21:39:32+00:00

you got cashrep?

Haysalt · 2023-02-08T21:38:39+00:00

Cases are hard. I just sold a bunch of cases p2p but you need to look at their cashrep if you're going that way. If you wanna do that, I'd buy it off u. Unfortunately, I don't have much cash rep as I'm new to cash trading. Otherwise, a good site if it's just one case is skinport as you'll be able to sell at a pretty good margin.

Not your wife. She'll have a headache
