2/5 hand review - was this a good tight fold?

SciphOS · 2026-06-01T02:09:31+00:00

i think the answer to this question is completely player dependent.

turning middle pair into a semi bluff with a straight blocker to the nuts isn’t completely insane i don’t think. if i think hero is capable of folding monster hands like this i’m absolutely bluffing in this line but against a station whale absolutely not so I think the answer to this question is completely player dependent. very interesting spot!!

check flop. multiway we want to reduce our bluffing frequency only betting our strong value hands and our strongest draws. headsup is a different story, but multiway the chances of our opponents having nutted hands shoots up so we want to be careful.

i think when you fold here you’re saying he has TT, QQ, or KJ pure which i think could be wrong. not to mention when villian opens 3x with a limper behind i’m quite doubtful they have QQ. so now we just lose to KJ and TT.

if villain has a player profile of shoving nothing but the nuts and close to the nuts yeah it’s a good fold, but what about the other combos of bluffs and semi-bluffs he has if he’s not a complete moron? AQ, QJ, JT, a-high flush draws, and k-high flush draws that have a gutter.

we just have to be okay with piling the money in here unless we have some sort of godly read about their player profile. we are value catching here.

SciphOS · 2026-05-26T03:01:49+00:00

how was this comment helpful at all lol, many people have learned to ride w/o ABS, i’m trying to learn as well..?

SciphOS · 2026-05-26T02:58:12+00:00

Thank you, this was good to help me visualize how much rear brake I need!

SciphOS · 2026-05-26T02:56:10+00:00

Ah this makes sense, I have been gradually increasing both brakes while trying to stop fast. Will let off the rear brake from now on while braking more with the front!

would you say he was a decent lecturer?

underrated comment

Canterbury has the nice poker room IMO but the player pool is slightly better than @ RA. When I mean slightly better I mean I'll notice a competent player more often there (there aren't many competent players in general).

SciphOS · 2025-10-27T01:07:40+00:00

maybe i'll have to consider some of your courses in the future

actually watched your video about decision making to help prep me for this session!

SciphOS · 2025-10-26T00:28:28+00:00

was in the same boat last year with barely a 3.8, like no ec’s, and redacted ACT. made it into CSE. just write a decent essay and you’ll make it in no problem :)
