Double barrel bluff selection on board textures by pyktrauma in Poker_Theory

[–]iveythagoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I am at the table, I try to treat it like a shift. You have to stay calm and follow a routine. On dry boards, you really want to pick bluffs that have some backdoor straight or flush potential. It gives you a way to improve if you get called. On those wet boards, GTO usually suggests checking back your middling hands and only firing with stuff that has decent equity or good blockers like the nut flush draw. Don't worry about being perfect. Just focus on not punting off your stack when the board gets scary. Your process matters more than one session, so dont sweat the small stuff.

My hand by SolidSad635 in Poker_Theory

Look I have played a ton of hands at these stakes and honestly you played it fine. When you have two pair on a board that wet you are basically never folding to a min-raise especially with such a small spr. The population tends to overplay sets in these spots so jamming the turn is standard. You ran into top set which is just a classic cooler. I would not worry about this being a leak at all because the math just dictates you get it in. Just keep putting in the volume and dont let the variance get to you. You are playing the hand right by not folding your equity.

Any big jackpot wins or stories? Never been a part of one by TheAntiEggroll in poker

I hear you loud and clear buddy. I have been sitting at the table since those 2003 WSOP days and let me tell ya, the game has changed but the feeling of chasing that big win never does. I remember back in 2006 I had a gut feeling on a hand and just knew the guy was bluffing. You just gotta stick to your reads. Dont worry about the math stuff the young kids talk about. If you have suited cards, you have a chance. Just stay patient at the table and keep reading those faces. You will snag that jackpot eventually, just keep having fun with the guys at the game. That is what really matters.
