my August C-game mistakes

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/982815
VB smaller like 1/4 pot , ez fold to raise vs tight player

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/982816
again, bet/fold like 1/4 pot..

homework

Doing quick, but regular hand reviews with Flopzilla/CREV is much better than spending too much time on 1 hand and doing it very infrequently.

random

general consensus of poker players/ poker forums/ is outdated as fuck / stay sharp/ recognize how the game plays / own game

TT knowledge

river_bluff_combinatorics,_50nl

Try reraising the flop instead of flatting, run some math on his c-bet range vs the range he will bet/fold to a rearise - furthermore by reraisng the flop you can rep spades, A on turn is good, you also can make hearts like in the hand above. rerasising the flop is cheaper + you have a ton of immiediate fold equity + you can bluff turns more credibly (like a spade)

--> this. u can bluff raise dry boards and than rep FD when it gets there..
imo its actually great flop to bluff raise w our particular hand... cos hes not gonna put us on BDFD when hearts get there, so implied odds are huge

fact

one of the biggest mistakes

- when you fold the best hand on late streets

- folding nuts on the flop much <<<<<< smaller mistake than folding on the river

-->> proper 3 barreling & proper plan for the remaining streets on the flop == huge winrate boost !!

on playing vs fish

"vs those crazy loose players u might stack off way too light when they tighten up on the turn & river.." !!

bluff cbet 1/3 pot vs fish seems to be the nuts

 have to try this live

folding nuts in 3bet pot after calling 2 streets <<<< much smaller mistake than not stealing enough BvB
-> because it occurs w much higher frequency

Internet on why A9o >> 87s vs BTN 3bet call

"Domination" is a very out dated concept in my opinion. I don't really ever use it as justification of a play anymore. What matters is equity and playability. Domination implies bad playability to some extent. But A9o is an equity powerhouse. Just poker stove vs standard 3bet-calling ranges. A9o outperforms 87s by a mile."

Internet on opening bet sizes

Secondly the people behind you. If you have bit nits who fold for small amounts, just minraise 100% of cutoffs and button and collect all the blinds. If you have loose passive fish behind, you want to raise bigger, reason should be obvious. And thirdly your hand strength. In general you shouldn't correlate hand strength to bet size in a predictable manner, but sometimes, especially with fish behind, you should do it. Fish in the BB, you are CO with KK? Jack it up to 4bb. You are SB with 84s? Just minraise.

attitude

it is absolutely key that i'm always improving my game. Mastery is something that makes me happy and gives me something to strive for.


Also i have a 'no fucks given' attitude. I'm not sure how to integrate this into your personality.
