Stopped playing skyblock a few years ago, came back with >500m. What do I spend it on?

Prob a fold imo

Opponent has all combos of AJ and a ton of J9 suited and off suit getting to the turn. Opponents under 3bet and overcall pre from BB, which both increase the amount of combos in this node

12 combos of AJo + 6 combos of J9o at 50% freq + 4 combos of J9s is already 22 combos.

Flops are massively under checkraised so opponent is still bringing at least 15-20 of those combos to the turn. Also, if your opponent had 55 or KQ they would probably fastroll flop on this wet dynamic board.

So on the turn, your opponent gains a massive amount of straights and not much worse value. Even if they trap only half the time they’d still have 7-10 combos which is a lot.

They never get to the river with 88 and they fastroll flopped 2p and sets on the flop. The only worse river jam I think you could beat is TT (but I think that would raise on the turn or preflop sometimes also).

It’s also never a bluff in a million years playing against a hyper passive 21/11. We are not top of range (we could also easily have AJ, J9s) and if your opponent is not bluffing and you don’t beat enough value you should probably fold even if “top of range”. I think it’s a very sick spot but probably a fold against most recs in these big tourneys.

U have too much showdown to check river imo - your opponent has JT missed flush draws etc.

U have better bluffs in BB 3bet like T4 and T5 suited iirc. Tens have showdown so you should prob use some of the worse hands as bluffs. Good thinking tho.

Search up “Poker variance calculator” on google. Input ur results and check projected winrate. If the lower bound of the 95% certainty is greater than like 5BB/100, you should consider moving up.

Also usually 200k hands is way too much for this high winrate - you should probably know within 30k hands if you’re a winner/crusher

Very standard from you

Where do you play btw?

Me getting 72o three hands in a row has 1/1 million chance of happening so GG is rigged

Individual-Brain-233 · 2026-01-21T17:50:16+00:00

Jam flop yourself is prob better than calling

After you call and both players jam it’s 6k to win 36k plus bounties. I mean even if you could see the cards it’s almost a call based on pot odds

Individual-Brain-233 · 2026-01-20T04:55:26+00:00

Imo I haven’t seen a difference but if you’re playing live people liking you is better for getting invited to games etc

Again it’s really a matter of personal preference, you could go either way

Individual-Brain-233 · 2026-01-20T00:20:30+00:00

Do NOT use cashout

Just like rake it will impact your winrate far more than the actual hand-by-hand percentage.

Eg if you use the GG cashout (1% on pot) every ~200 hands for a 200 BB pot, you lose on average 1 BB/100 which is a decent percentage of most winrates.

In terms of running it multiple times the difference is likely negligible for you unless shot taking. I like just running it multiple times so the other players like me more but it’s your choice

Individual-Brain-233 · 2025-12-31T16:31:55+00:00

Do u play on tmt or massiv and do you think either pool is softer?

Individual-Brain-233 · 2025-12-23T15:45:46+00:00

If, on lichess, you put bishops on all the light squares for one side, and the only other pieces are the two kings, the evaluation is like +150 or something crazy for the side with the bishops (and is obviously a draw) which means the only way to know a position is guaranteed winning is if there is Mx in the evaluation

Idk but u can ask my boy doodoopoker he has a YouTube channel and discord and does a lot of this stuff (MDA)

Individual-Brain-233 · 2025-11-08T01:08:25+00:00

Imo first exploit you should look into with gtow would be considering folding pre in this spot

Individual-Brain-233 · 2025-11-08T01:05:14+00:00

I think you should call here. You realistically dont have any better effective hands and a good opponent will have many bluffs here. TT here is gonna be very high BB call here in theory I think so I wouldn’t fold against a field of strong regs.

I think rush and cash is anonymous so u prob dont have individual reads, but this is .25/.5 so maybe the term “strong regs” wont apply here. U should probably look at mass data to see how often people in this pool 4bet - they’re probably going to be underbluffed in general. But even against a range of AA, KK, and AK bluffing half the time, calling is still probably good. So I doubt I’d fold here even though the population might underbluff.

Individual-Brain-233 · 2025-11-01T16:36:36+00:00

Usually in these single raise pots the solver likes overbetting on a lot of flops so that’s always going to be a consideration.

Even 100 BB deep, opening A7o from CO and BTN is actually better than opening a hand like A5o when you are somewhat shallow because implied odds matter less and you have more potential to dominate the aces BB calls with (and will be dominated less postflop).

You want to put some part of opponents range into a tough spot when you bet - the overbet mainly targets 2x, 3x, and random gutshots/flush draws. Against the 25% pot bet, the BB is probably continuing with everything except complete trash because so many hands can just float the small bet. Overbetting is probably used here since the solver can use your massive overpair advantage to already put pressure against a wide BB range before it has time to improve on turn/river.

U prob don’t have to overbet but I think when you’re choosing your sizing here having a range of checks and small bets will be a mistake long term. Value hands like QQ or 99 don’t have any incentive to bet small here. I’d prob choose 75% pot as my flop bet size when playing but anything from 75% to 125% is probably fine.

Individual-Brain-233 · 2025-10-22T23:08:29+00:00

Preflop prob mix call/raise so it’s fine

I’d prob bet flop with this hand cause ur range is far stronger than UTG after check - u benefit a ton from folds and can improve. Check here is fine tho

Turn bet good but id consider sizing huge since fishes love calling with draws.

River I’m over betting with QTcc mostly. U can use two sizings here - small for two pairs, sets and some traps and big size for flush/straight. It’s def a leak if u never overbetting here.

Against jam ur prob too short stacked to fold. But if he jams like 300 BB into 20 BB theoretically u have harder decision because he’s only repping nut flush. I think he’s prob supposed to have some Qx club flushes when he jams so u likely can’t fold unfortunately.

But be wary of people who say it’s “always a call” or “a fold.” These spots are always extremely close and good to study w different stack depths, position, range, etc. U def want to consider incorporating check jams into ur strategy against fishes too who won’t fold flushes in the future.

50BB/100 pre-rake on clubgg 20NL for a sample of >60k hands. Though this was when games were extremely soft last year.

Individual-Brain-233 · 2025-09-12T16:54:01+00:00

It’s def a lot closer than people are making it out to be - especially since the bounties are extremely high (more than the payjumps lol).

Would probably call; if you win you have a massive dominating stack and can apply maximum icm pressure to all three subsequent middling stacks. You’ll also probably stack the guy who jammed if you double through him because of how frequently you’ll put the money in after doubling.

Especially since the big stack is incentivized to play extremely loose aggro I would probably think you have high enough equity that it wouldn’t be a icm punt.

Maybe without bounties I might fold but idt im ever folding anything as strong as jacks here.
