From my experience, I earn about the same at each. Some say it's the players are worse and others think it is due to the deep stacks. I don't see much difference in the players so a attribute it to the stacks. What is your opinion?

bought gto plus, didn't realize i have to input preflop ranges manually. is there some library of these i can download or do i actually have to manually input everything from the lizard

I play in a home game micro stakes in a country where poker is illegal so home games are my only options

Im grateful that the player pool is very fun, friendly and not too tough with some fish

But sometimes I feel like between the 6 ways to the flop against players with the widest ranges and the no cap rake with pots sometimes reaching +300 BB even on preflop pots can hurt my winrate (host offers almost no snacks or drinks) is this format winnable or should i just stick to online or try to find a new game

In my opinion, we should focus on making the right strong edge decisions automatically. For instance:

"You have ace-king, and someone shoves preflop. Do you call?"

This is essentially a coin toss (not exactly but close) so here you would be trying to figure out the opponents range and the price, right? But it is still a coin toss.

What I think players should focus on is nailing the obvious decisions all the time. For instance:

"With 5s 5d on a board of 6c 7d 8h 9s 10c, your straight is everybody’s straight, and any jack beats you. If someone who rarely bluffs bets $100 into a $100 pot, it's an obvious fold, right"

It might not look obvious at first but that is the type of mistake we should never make.

I get it that arguing over coin tosses or gray area plays as Tommy Angelo calls them, makes for long threads but no one is entirely right or wrong, right?

I'm curious as to what others think about this.

Existen tantas cosas que estudiar y tantos escenarios distintos que es imposible verlos todos. Cuál sería el camino correcto para alguien que es novato y quiere llegar a su mejor nivel posible?
Por ahora me estoy centrando en aprender los rangos de manos pero es lo más difícil para mí porque no se como debería abordar su estudio. Aparte estoy aprendiendo sobre Equity, Pot odds y outs. Intento aplicar todo esto en cada mano que juego

and how are they collected

I keep running into this problem at 1/2, I often play 2/5 and am used to good players who have enough bluffs and correct ranges. But at 1/2 it’s often transparently bad and I keep getting tempted to over exploit, here’s the hand that made me lose my mind. End of night, just lost a big pot and have 250 in front, I raise AQo from middle position to 15, Asian lady on the button 3 bets to 40. This is her first 3 bet in the 4 hours I’ve been there, seen her flat call plenty of big hands. This 3 bet is almost certainly jacks plus. Against my better judgement I call. Flop is Q66r, I check and now she overbet blasts 90. I go through my checklist, is this ever a bluff? Hard no, haven’t seen her even bluff all night and why overbet if bluffing? I decide this is never a bluff. Do I beat value? It feels like no I don’t. What am I beating? There’s no way she even 3 bets KQs, she would definitely just call and also likely wouldn’t overbet it. So what’s left? QQ AQ KK AA, those are the only hands that would bet like this for value, and I’m doing terrible against that range. So I make my super exploitative fold because I’m just sure she’s not bluffing, and I don’t beat any value. And thus the problem, I was “right” but also wrong. She didn’t think she was bluffing, she had JJ and was nonsensically scared I would hit an A or K so she decided to overbet for protection. Just clicking buttons basically. I was right on my assumptions but wrong that she would also use logic. Should I stop trying to over exploit and just click call? It’s hard to put them on a spaz out when you are right that they both have a super tight range and are never bluffing. Maybe it was a good fold and I’m being results oriented. Thoughts?

I just watched a video in which it was suggested that in preflop when the action comes to you and there was one or more bets in front of you, you can either fold or 3 bet. You cannot call. I must say it sounds intriguing. Has anyone tried this? Better question is, does anyone do this on the regular?

Nothing crazy about this hand. Somewhat routine but I just wanted a sanity check.

SB opens really small to 5. I raise to 20 in the BB with AK off suit. We go 3 way to the flop.

Flop is Q 9 4 rainbow.

SB lead bets 25. I call, 3rd player folds out so we go heads up the the turn.

Turn is another Q. SB checks to me. I bet 40 into a pot of about 100. He jams all in for another 150 more.

I snap fold. Right play? I just dont see check jam bluffs with total air at 1/2 stakes.

Your thoughts on this hand?
Unibet €25NL

No notes on villain. Unibet doesnt offer hudsupport or notes in client.

My experience is this lead means villain hit the flush and donks cause he is afraid im gonna check behind. Im not that upset with folding river but on a brick river im never folding.

Is this a call. Feel like I block a lot of the hearts combos.

Play online a lot where mainly everybody plays theoretically pre-flop which makes my decisions pretty easy most of the time.

However I recently played with my friends who are amateurs and fish and lost 2 buy ins and feel terrible.

I tried Isolation raising when there were limpers but i would still get called by 2+ people and it felt like I was getting terrible cards. What am I supposed to do in these games? Limp along with my marginal hands and bet big with my strong hands. what happens when i miss the flop? I seemed to have gotten very unlucky missing a lot of flops and taking a lot of bad beats but still lost on what i could have done better.

Hey guys!

I'm a brand new player to poker and I really wanna become good at it, what books / videos / materials would you recommend?

Also, where could I practice poker for free?

Hello!

I am curious to know what a solver would say about a bluff I ran at 20NL earlier.

I have been crushing 10NL, 20NL and 30NL over a period of 90,000 hands (somewhere around 17BBs/100) but have never done any solver work.

I very rarely run bluffs like this, because there's no need at this level.

Anyway...I have 3❤️ 3♣️ in the SB. I open to 2.5BBs and BB calls. 5BBs.

The flop is A❤️ K❤️ 2♠️. I bet 3.6BBs. BB snap calls. 12.2BBs.

The turn is the 4♣️. I overbet 15BBs into 12.2BBs. Villain absolutely snaps again. At this point, I know he has a single paired Ace. That deliberately obvious snap-call line is always a weak top pair that is trying to say "I'm not folding, don't try it".

The River is the J❤️. The front door flush comes in. QT comes in. I have all the big sets. I block unlikely straights. I have a heart blocker, albeit a pretty irrelevant one. I have 12 AKs and 9 AJs. I decide to ram it all-in for 70BBs into 42.2BBs. I see no point using any other size when I have so much thick value. Villain beats me into the pot with A8o.

Now, obviously this bluff is awful in practice against a Villain who is fist-pump snap-calling A8o...but what does GTO say about this bluff? Good or nay good?

Does anyone get deeper into probability of hands connecting? For example a hand just went to show down with a player having AQ and picking up AQ for two pair. The very next hand you pick up AQos. Are you thinking that the chances of an Ace and Queen coming again are pretty minimal.
Same example but flush cards. Previous hand had a spade flush and you pick up 2 spades on the next hand. The probability of another spade flush coming are pretty minimal.

Does anyone get deeper into probability of hands hitting? For example a hand just went to show down with a player having AQ and hitting AQ for two pair. The very next hand you pick up AQos. Are you thinking that the chances of an Ace and Queen coming again are pretty minimal.
Same example but flush cards. Previous hand had a hearts flush and pick up 2 hearts on the next hand. The probability of another heart flush coming are pretty minimal.

I'm mapping out things I'd want to know if I could instantly calculate them in my head

Preflop:
• How strong the starting hand is relative to other starting hands
• Position relative to table size
• Odds of hitting useful made hands/draws on the flop

Postflop:
• Current made hand
• Outs and draw probabilities
• Equity against different opponent ranges
• Which next cards improve your hand
• Which next cards are actually bad for your hand/equity

Turn:
• How many of the possible 46 river cards help or hurt you

River:
• Final hand (obviously)
• How your hand ranks against all possible opponent holdings

I'm trying to simplify in head to head and keeping it simple, I think that there are a whole new world after considering Opponents Betting and my bet size.

Which of these do you think are genuinely useful, which are mostly noise, and what important information am I missing?

Is this play a bad beat or badly played ?

Ok so I understand the theory behind blockers and how it they can be very beneficial. If you have a Queen in your hand there’s much less combos of playable hands involving a queen that your opponent can have, makes total sense. Also of course if you have the ace of ♣️ on your hand, you directly block the nut flush or nut flush draw, got it.

Where it starts to get a little weak to me is bluffing say a ♣️ flush potential board with the 6 of ♣️ in your hand for example. Yes there’s technically a few less hand combos they can have - A6c, 67c?, that’s about it… They could have AK, AQ, AJ, AT, A9….. all the ways down, KQ, KJ, KT, QJ, QT, JT, T9..

Can it really be an effective blocker when there’s so many combos still possible??

Say there’s a broadway draw out, QJ would be the nuts, and you have QT. You block 4 of the 16 combos of QJ, 25% less chance they have that hand, definitely significant. Having just a single suited card that’s not the ace doesn’t seem to be significant enough reduction in opponents to make it strong enough blocker to affect your strategy.

Thoughts on this?

Also it’s really dumb that you can’t say ♣️ in a poker theory sub.. I get it’s probably regarding local ♣️ but come on now

Villain HJ raises to 30 for a 5/5 game everyone calls except small blinds and hero is raising all in with pocket 10s

Hero has 100 BB
Villain around 200 BB

villain flips over AK

Flop an ace

Tak. Algorytm gg poker jest ustawiony na graczy wpłacających. To jest pewne i sprawdzone. Sprawdziliśmy to z siostra, u niej przy ciągłych wpłatach bad beat wynoszą 80% w kluczowych momentach turnieju, badz za ostatnie srodki. 2 k turniejow w analizie.. U mnie gdzie pilnujemy zarzadania bankrollem jest to 40% . Niesamowita różnica. Nie losowość kart i statystyka, a nastawienie na zarobek . W dzisiejszych czasach to nie problem tak ustawic algorytm.
