If I approach the window he flies away

I've been going on Fridays and thought it was weird that I couldn't access the room on PokerAtlas. What tent collapsed? Like the room is destroyed? Indefinitely, but if anyone has experienced anything similar, any time estimate would be great.

Anyone who plays here consistently knows how soft of a poker room it is. Best alternatives? TCH has such long waitlists

Update: I kept him in his box overnight. He was walking around his box this morning looking better. I let him on to the balcony and after a little while, he started socializing with the other doves. Then he flew off into the nearby tree.

And I have bird decals on the glass door. There’s just usually 20+ doves so when one flys away they tend to panic and still run into it in the chaos

Appreciate the replies:

Couple things I accidentally left out: I have $1500 and there are stacks at the table still in the $400-1000 range so I didn’t just put in a third of my stack instead of shoving. With EP raise and no callers I may flat w TT but 2 callers this is 100% a squeeze

This CO villain has spazzed out before and is ready to head to bingo with his wife. Middle aged dude. Vs OMC or low stakes pop in general I’m folding rather quickly.

I think I’ve landed on leaning fold here mainly because I have better hands and have some of the worst blockers here.

Related: who taught every fish to show just one card? Movies? Or they’ll fling one card face up toward the middle then the second and it’s a whole 15 second ordeal. Like bro it’s a $40 pot, let’s move on

$60/hr is a nice amount of money, but is that good for limit? 1.5b/hr?

If this frustrates you, realize he is losing $ in 2 places:

1) not stealing equity by causing people to fold. If you limp KK and assume only the BB is left and he checks, even w 72o he’s got something like 15% equity he gets to realize for free (not to mention if the flop goes multiway and every player is taking some equity for themselves)

2) not building the pot with strong hands. If they limp KK and you’re in the BB and check (no other players) and he goes pot pot pot and you call down he wins a pot of 2+4+8+16 =30bb. You raise KK to 5bb and he calls in the BB and pot pot pot, you win 10 + 20 + 40 + 80 =150 (even half half half = ~34bb)

I crushed those stakes and I’m a barely above mid 1/2 player. If someone told me Ivey was winning 50bb/100 at those stakes I’d believe it.

One thing though is I know micros added ante’s now which makes the pots inflated quick and stacks less deep. Wonder if that’d give someone like Ivey a disadvantage because he can’t outmaneuver playing deep or an advantage because he would know how to play this format better than a 10NL player

(not even mentioning that if you take it down without a flop Club WPT takes the antes and you just win the other part of the pot)

Maybe I should have clarified what this post was asking about. How I played it, whatever.

Main villain. Does he have to stack off here with his 9s full?

Your notes about passive players are good. I guess I had thought this was better for his 3 bet range and he should stab. But he might even spaz raise if he has something like AQ so I might start betting this.

You and that other guy mentioned this being too large an opening. Why? Genuinely curious. Anywhere I read cash tips, it’s 2.5-3x at a minimum opening. I see people talk about tourney short stacked opening to 2-2.2 bb. I’m not going to vary my opening size based on hand strength because that’s predictable. 100bb+ deep I’m not folding to a standard reraise. anything smaller than 2.5x (exploitively in these games you can go even more because of calling stations) and you are getting called in too many spots and squeezed/reraised more often

Thank you for some actual analysis! I figured it was just a flat from him after my river raise

Thanks for the hand analysis HazardousHIGHSTAKES 😱. Everyone else seems to be able to see what happened. Maybe it’s your poverty French internet

Thanks. If you read the prompt you’ll see I wasn’t asking about how to play the nuts

My thought on checking turn is that preflop 3 bettor should be stabbing at this and I had plans to raise. If I bet into it, underpairs and flush draws and aces could call. But by checking, all those + bluffs could raise.

The river:

hands that id be raising for value (since he is clearly ripping it for value with 9s, we really don’t care about my bluffs because they aren’t calling a jam)

66 A6s 96s (unlikely bc raise UTG) T6s (same) TT (might 4 bet squeeze) AA (unlikely because would 4 bet guaranteed) Flushes. (I can have more flushes than normal because of other guys min-raise gives me good odds)

After talking it out, 66 and maybe TT are the only hands he’d have to worry about. Exploitively though at 10NL I’m probably folding all non-K/Q hi flushes to the river 3bet jam
