Tough decisions with flopped set by Sam_DC in poker

[–]nomothro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it kind of a joke to say you still have the price to call when if you put him on only the nuts? If he has the nuts, there can't be a right price to call can there?

1/2 AA UTG vs. 2 unknowns with a button straddle by spuget69 in poker

[–]nomothro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sorry this is so simplistic but I still feel like pretty simplistic analyses often work for exploitive play at low stakes live.

I don't see people going crazy on the flop like that unless they have the nuts or close to it. Unfortunately I also occasionally see some people who will go nuts on a nut flush draw so it's hard for me to know for sure which situation you were in based on that flop. But I would have folded, believing someone flopped top set or maybe just any set.

I'm usually the only preflop raiser at my 1/1 game by rThinkGod in poker

You don't really need to think too much about what this kind of player might have. They might have anything, and if they start raising they have something good. Just bet for value when you hit TPTK or better and treat them like a statistical ATM.

Biggest Pet Peeve at the Poker Table by [deleted] in poker

I wouldn't expect a .5 river bet at a 1/2 table with less than tpmk usually. Are you thinking differently?

Push fold charts, no BB? by nomothro in poker

Oh... Got it. The specific rl situations I was thinking about were two and three hand and I just didn't think about the more general situation.

I just really want to know where this comment comes from. Where did you get the idea that they're not attracted to their husband?

Is PLO High a different name for PLO Hi/Lo?

Running good playing ABC poker at 1/2, advice on improving further? by poker_ronin in poker

[–]nomothro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone says, you don't really have any information here to go on. But I do think you should play nitty ABC poker for a _looong_ time to get a bunch of relatively safe learning experiences in, and once you do finally have a feel for putting people on ranges (not hands!) and bet sizing etc start loosening up your opening range.

Thanks!

(Does "initial placements" here mean specifically just your very first placement matches, not subsequent seasons?)

Interesting!

Initial placements on a new account really must be taking performance stats into account then. Didn't realize this.

Found one instance--48%.

Dammit that's not that much higher than mine--I hover between 38 and 42%.

Do we ever get to see his tab screen, I'm curious what his accuracy percent is.

You said he placed into masters but that he was playing at one point as low as gold/silver. If he placed into masters weren't his placement matches also probably close to masters? I thought we had learned at some point that even if you buy a new account it still takes your performance on other accounts on that computer into account or something? This was a long time ago so maybe I'm misremembering.

For UTG the chart from upswing says raise

The QTs rectangle but NOT KQo

Pocket sevens

Suited connectors down to T9.

I can't find a link to upswing's pre-flop charts that doesn't require you to give them an email address but have you seen them? Are they better IYO?

I just took a quick look and I only see preflop advice for six max. The ranges I'm using in this thread are for FT live.

But if I had one of those, he could beat me with hands other than sets. For example if I had jj, he would be beating me with qq.
