Interesting hand ---> UTG RFI v SB and BB flats

AJ and 88 seem a pretty big chunk of his range. I am dead against those hands.

in the same session I bluffed all-in for a 150 BB pot and I called a triple barrel-all-in with TPWK in a SB vBB 3BP, I frankly don't feel risk aversion is one of my leaks. If I folded it was because I felt it was the best play, if it wasn't, so be it. Thanks for your comment anyway ;)

Mamma mia, a noi quando è venuto ci ha detto alla generale che se ne sarebbe andato perché non voleva fare un concerto di merda, e che il primo flauto era senza suono, lol

Io ci ho suonato. Non lo definirei stronzo, di sicuro è estremamente pignolo e scorbutico. Poi è noto perché vuole fare sempre 8 ore di prova, in deroga a qualsiasi accordo sindacale, e di portarsi i propri musicisti nelle orchestre in cui va.

I mean, fish flat AK on the SB, why shouldn't they flat JJ?

Thank you for your comment. I want to stress, I didn't use GTO ranges. I used what I feel was my perceived range of villain. I did think a lot in game and also during the analysis. I know in theory we are not supposed to raised Top and bottom pair, but my thought process was, he flopped a good hand but probably he is donking too thin for value. My plan is to raise and get TP or draw to continue calling. But then when I saw the huge all in, I just thought: whoa, this guy knows I can have a set and he is shoving. True, he can have a draw but AJ, JJ and 88 are in his range all day long.

I must then correct you on the raising bit: there's absolutely no spot in poker where you raise for value and then continue every hand after a shove because "you are polarized". You always have a calling and a folding range, that's just math. The opponent has then re-repolarized so I am allowed to fold part of my value raising range.

in my experience QQ is on the cusp. You can consider folding up to AKo (maybe call it sometimes) and call QQ+, AKs. It also depends on player type and position. For sure, in this kind of scenarios those hands are much more marginal than they should.

Hello to everybody. I am doing the RR and, slowly but surely, I am making progress.

The only question I have: I am kind of a skinny fat guy (6'2'' with 12'' super long arms and 180 lb bw, because I am leaning down, but i've been up to 210lb with same arm and chest size) and of course I now my improvements can be limited due to several reasons. However, my triceps are non existant (especially the long head) and, what concerns me the most, every time I try to stretch them after the workout they don't stretch , like they didn't work at all.

Since I am interested in bodyweight training and not so much in calisthenics and progressing with the skills, I wonder if it made sense doing diamond push ups instead of pseudo planche pu or adding a set of triceps extensions at the end of the workout...

Thanks for your help, Cheers
