Comment | Monthol commented on [NL10][6max] - Aces in 4betted pot IN

I am mixing. At this moment in NL10 played about 65k hands at regular tables and 30k hands Zoom.

Comment | Monthol commented on [NL10][6max] - Aces in 4betted pot IN

I always get a bunch of valuable info with your comments, guys. Thanks all.
Definitely some of my thoughts have no absolute sense, so I need to improve my thinking process.

Despite of my enormous leaks & mistakes I'm being capable of winning in NL10 at a good rate (almost 6bb/100) so I guess the players are real weak out there XD. Anyway I will dedicate a few days to study -mainly 3/4betted pots- before jumping into NL25.

Greetings!

Comment | Monthol commented on [NL10][6max] - Rec playing tricks on me :)

Analyzing the hand again, I remember that in that moment I nearly instacalled his reraise flop. Which I consider a big leak, I mean, pressing buttons too quickly with no enough thinking, even if the move might be OK (probably not the case).

I keep learning everyday, thanks both for your comments.

Hand History | Monthol posted in NLHE: [NL10][6max] - Rec playing tricks on me :)
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) UTG: $10.15
MP: $10.64 (Hero)
CO: $10.00
BN: $17.33
SB: $10.16
BB: $8.23
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is MP with T T
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.30, 3 folds, BB calls $0.20
BB is a potential rec. I only have about 100 hands on him, though
Flop ($0.65) 6 2 9
BB bets $0.31, Hero raises to $1.11, BB raises to $3.10, Hero calls $1.99
Here it is, here it comes, the famous donkbet that really grinds my gears :)
I decided to raise not only for protection, but also because a rec is actually capable of donkbet & follow with overcards here, and of course with 98, A6, A9, K9, Q9, J9, 76, etc...
Turn ($6.85) 6 2 9 K
BB bets $4.83 and is all in, Hero folds
Now the pain. Is he capable of bluffing me this way? No idea, but the king helps him more than it helped me, indeed. So I fold.
Final Pot BB wins $6.44
Rake is $0.41

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (5 Players) CO: $8.96
BN: $16.04 (Hero)
SB: $13.13
BB: $10.00
UTG: $7.90
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is BN with A A
UTG calls $0.10, CO folds, Hero raises to $0.51, SB folds, BB raises to $1.50, UTG folds, Hero raises to $3.91, BB calls $2.41
Villain is a competent reg, with solid stats in 3k hands I have on him. The spot started with a rec limping so I ROL, nothing to say about that, and not sure if rec presence affected the way BB played...
Flop ($7.97) 2 K 7
BB checks, Hero checks
Now he called 4bet, I only see a tight range like QQ, JJ, AQs, KQs, maybe TT. Of course AA, KK, AKs, AKo I think he would've shove (again I remember the limper and if villain play were affected somehow)

Basically I checked because I don't wanted to be checkraised here, and also not to make him fold TT, JJ, QQ either.
Turn ($7.97) 2 K 7 2
BB checks, Hero checks
Again I don't wanted to make worse hands to fold, and in the case of villain's KK, check is a logic move to induce my bets/bluffs
River ($7.97) 2 K 7 2 K
BB checks, Hero bets $1.88, BB calls $1.88
Now it seems pretty difficult he has a king, isn't it? Just thinking about the size of my valuebet to get calls from QQ and JJ (and maybe TT)

Comment | Monthol commented on [NL10][6max] - Jacks IP in paired flop

Since I don't know whether villain is a rec or not maybe checking turn is a way more solid line.
Anyway, thanks both for your thoughts ;)

Comment | Monthol commented on [NL10][6max] - Top pair second kicker & second flush draw - Donk and funny bets ;)

Now I review this hand again, the villain's bet at turn is like a check indeed, maybe a raise to 33% pot would be better, like €0.52 or so.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your comments ;)

Thx guys.

Comment | Monthol commented on [NL5][6max] - Value-betting mistakes?

Sometimes I get obsessed with extracting the most of the value from rec players...
Now I read you both, it's certainly not very common an Ax playing like this.

I'll keep focused :)
Thx!

Nice advice HawksWin since actually, I am getting a lot of folds here. I'll keep it in mind ;)

Comment | Monthol commented on [NL5][6max] - How to get the most from top sets

I do continuation bet almost every flop in a 3betted pots like this, sizing around 30-35% pot.
So I guess checking with monsters like I did in this spot could be an obvious leak.
Thanks a lot!
