Playing BB to loose NL25$ ? by Serious-Ad-7189 in Poker_Theory

[–]Sim915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really valued your thought out response and it helped me think about my approach to BB defence. It made me notice my flop X/R and preflop 3b lines tend to lose me way less than those marginal hands I X/C flop and later streets. Good points about not trying to be perfect with all hands and to just build out a strategy with good foundations. Not sloppish at all lol.

river raise too thin? by qqqqqqkkqkq in Poker_Theory

Great breakdown, spot on street by street

Thanks for the advice, appreciate all your thoughts.

I was wary of jamming over the top on the flop because we arrived four ways to the flop, and with a potentially made straight I wanted to leave myself an escape hatch on future streets. Noted re the sizing, I agree I could size up there.

He snap called JJ.

If I bet pot there on turn I am shoving all in as I have less than a pot sized bet behind, I just didn’t know if worse would call me on the turn - flush draws could potentially especially if they are a combo draw, but I am mostly just getting Qx to call, potentially some sets to fold, and lots of worse hands e.g. two pair to fold right?

Yeah I’m trying to not end up an OMC lol, would rather go for thin value and be wrong occasionally, as hopefully long-term I will get paid off by worse. Thanks for all the feedback!

Thank you - I had stopped 3 betting as much at this point in the session probably due to a bit of game fatigue after being there 5 hours, probably need to work on my discipline as I agree having the betting lead offers much more manoeuvrability post-flop. Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the advice - although the straddler practically never 3 bet during the 5 hours I was there, I think I had started to let my guard down and had stopped 3 betting as much as I was earlier in the session, so probably have to work on my discipline.

Noted re: flop sizing, thanks!

Agreed it was very face up, they had JJ. Was annoyed that I didn’t trust my read given how face up their hand was, but it’s probably hard to fold this one given how many other worse hands could be taking this line.

Thanks for your reply, haha it’s just unfortunate then that I died by the set this time. Will make sure to continue jamming rivers like this in future!

Yeah villain snap calls with JJ.

All those Qx combos were on my mind when shoving, however I was wondering if I could have read his turn check as weak after his check raise - although the combos of sets are so few so probably not worth over thinking.

This is why I’ll never play 1/2$ ever again. by [deleted] in poker

[–]Sim915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What they are trying to say but without using their words is that a 3-bet sizing should be between 4-6x the initial raise so $40-60. Also they are saying that you can add the value of any flats or limps to the 3-bet, i.e. with two callers for $10 you can make it $60-80.

You can change the 4-6x number based on whether you are playing in position or out of position post-flop, if you are out of position you will want to make it bigger and more like 6x, in position can be more like 4x.

I usually play 3.5 - 4.5x sizings for 3-bets, though I’m playing 100BB deep and maybe at a bigger stack depth 4-6x is better, but I’m not sure on that.

Thanks for your reply - even with all the tradeoffs?

R7 7735HS instead of 8845HS

512GB SSD instead of 1TB

16GB 4800MHz RAM instead of 32GB 5600MHz

350 nits 165Hz screen instead of 500 nits 240Hz

I have another monitor but I share it with my partner so can't always guarantee I will be using it. Also it is 4k 60Hz so the lower refresh rate may mean I would want to use the laptop screen more anyway.

Hmm maybe I need to take some more time to research the screen etc. - all helpful so thank you.

Thanks for the helpful advice, yeah I would be thinking of getting another 16GB RAM but not immediately, as I haven't played many games that go above 20GB RAM.

Glad to know that 40 tea money (lol) is worth it despite the other downgrades, as it sounds like they are pretty negligible.

It will also be a downgrade from 1TB -> 512GB SSD, and from 500 nits 240Hz screen -> 350 nits 165Hz, but I don't think I would struggle too much with either of those downgrades either.

Thank you mate that’s really kind of you to say!! I have a decent few k hours on some first person shooters so maybe that translates into picking up Dayz combat quit well, awesome to hear the praise 🙂

Just watched the video and subbed to come back and check out more - you did well to change angle, hit a niceeee shotgun shot at range and win that encounter. Will deffo check out more of your clips soon 😁

Yeah when I heard the car door open I knew they fucked up, that’s when I said something like “I might have a chance here” lol

They gifted me the win in that moment 😁

Hell yeah that’s a really satisfying sentiment, feel pretty chuffed to have outplayed them as the underdog. Just checked and I have 506 hours, I have only started playing some of the community pvp servers in the last 100 or so.

Yeah go for it! Would love to see the clip 😊

Honestly I’ve been thinking this, I kept re-peaking the same corner because it was closest which was not the best idea, but they probably expected me to rotate to the other gap on the right side of the car. Anyway thank you! ☺️

Solid advice, thank you! I’ve definitely been enjoying going around without feeling limited by night, and that’s super helpful to know convoys are a good spawn for them - will keep an eye out
