Any opinions about my line? Horrible board for 4bettor. I feel after opponent started to pot it on the turn it will be all in bet on the river. Thinking afterward this might be mandatory river call since run out is pretty positive. I feel in spots like this I'm leaking.
How do u see opponent's range? I don't know how much he thinks about exploitation in his play.

Post | Tommi Heikinniemi posted in NLHE: check back on river?

Played this hand on Party ff100$. I don't have PIO solver and wondering would this be check back on river? Against a regular I think not many worse hands pay on river.

I was at 7handed ft at 100€ tournament. had about max 30bb stack in the beginning and was ultimately first one out. There were two smaller stacks but they doubled up and cards were dry for me so it was difficult to do anything.

Anyways, there are some hands where I COULD have done something but decided to fold w/o lot fe and some ICM too. it was like 750€ for 7th and 5k€ for the first. Do u think they are clear folds?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?6825083
15 bb resteal against utg? he opens against VERY loose massive chiplead so I suppose he is strong.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?6825084
Decently active small stack shoves. I guess something like 66+ would be chip ev call. Not even sure about that since there must be some ICM since there were two shorter stacks behind me.

https://www.pokerihanska.com/?h=352328768
Big stack opens like usual. Correct fold? Can't see any fe there

https://www.pokerihanska.com/?h=260618688
One ATo against same kind situation. After the event I think this is the hand I might have needed to go with since opener was vpipping like 50% of hands in that point.

Do u see big mistakes in these hands? Did I play too scary or did about correct folds? it was very difficult hand run (best hands AT and several 33-44 during few levels) for me overally.

Still calling the river? He is going to have several sets in his range and probably will valuebet them in position. Check folding is probably hugely exploitable too.

Did a bad (but don't know how bad) play on late stage of sunday bb109 (16 left). Opponent has about 1k$ bounty on him. I know that my opponent was just fearless not looking at money jumps but still decided to go little bit wider and try to push him bit for the first time. I think he perfectly read my push as a small pair or Ax which he has decent equity against. I would say 90% of players would fold that particular hand in that spot but again, I'm mostly playing a way smaller tournaments especially on french sites that plays almost like opposite and even regs would mostly not dare to call there without "nuts".

How do I determinate approximately what's EV of my push? In this case it was little bit losing.

What would be winning push range for me? Just from nowhere I would say maybe 22+, KJo+, A2+, maybe JTs? Remember that there will be +500$ profit from him and next pay jump is only 200$.

Hand is from 10€ la viefre from a french site. Very close to ft bubble having about avg stack. Opponent was playing with tablet and was clearly somewhat unbalanced based on few hands with him (opening 2bb probably with polarized range or with bluffs and more with hands that don't want to get called but are good enought to open or might be something like that).
How would u like to play AK here? Ultimately this was a huge flip since places outside top9 were only paid like 300$ but winner gets nice 5.5k$ so I was really unhappy to see and get this flip since otherwise I might have significant edge on smallball poker but he kinda took my edge away just being fearless unlike other players on the table. Generally casual players are very reluctant to get their stacks in without nuts but sometimes start to spew if get annoyed by something. btw, I don't understand ICM very well since I am relatively new tournament player so my ICM is based just on common sense. Most players on the table of course don't think that much ICM in this tournament. Tablet guys probably do a lot of plays just based on how their hand feels like.

Since the hand is played away from GTO and opponent should be exploited do u think think my line is overplaying and just forcing a flip too much or do u consider this just ideal place to gamble? It's hard to think call either small raise would have been better but I feel this is not an optimal line. I feel like I was pushing too hard and playing with open cards even against a casual player. btw, he snapcalled. I wonder what he would have done against small 3bet...

Basically I see this line a lot on boards where I'm supposed to be capped. A smaller than average continuation bet and then just bomb turn and river in position. I was afraid he was getting there on the river with many of his bluffs and also valuebetting AA, AK, AQ combos.

Very aggressive 3better (over 11%). I turned my AJ to bluff and got kinda dream flop where I liked to bluffcatch but since regular seemed to commit himself with strong bet sizing on the flop I made very tight fold. I don't see he is just giving up on many turns tho I have hard times putting he on the hand but he might call 4bet very wide here. I didn't expect such a big bet. Is this insanely tight? If I call once I don't see any card that I will fold on turn on river. Anyways it was UTG vs. UTG +1 and only top pair with mediocre kicker.

Would u call, fold or bluffraise with nutsblocker?

Decided to just flat on BB with AK which I am basically never doing. Then met strong three barrels. I don't think I am that weak on that board since there are some Ax combos but opponent also missed so many draws. On zoom games like this players tend to underbluff and barrel heavily especially with those sizings. Still feeling I am too strong here to fold but just didn't like the spot at all.

Decided to play slow KK against unknown small 3bet sizing pf. Opponent was 1tabling so probably not a regular. What do you think on PS nl100 zoom? Would u always play same? I guess not many bluffs with that sizing on his range. I am pretty new to zoom so far.

I'm kinda oldschool player who had pretty good success on nl400-nl600 years ago when coaching sites just started to get publicity and games were soft w/o balance. Honestly I feel I have dropped out especially during spent some lazy years out from 6max games.
I feel nl100 can be pretty damn competitive nowadays especially with high rake systems sites have.
Playing on Party's fastforward nl100 now. I am not sure how competitive it is compared to other sites but I guess it's softer than Pokerstars' zoom. It's frustrating to just grind 100k hands break even or even little bit losing game.

After watching most 6max videos in your site I feel it might be necessary to start use tools even in SSNL. Everyone using here those tools? I mean Piosolver, CRev etc... I find them complex and hard to start with at the first glance. Which route would u recommend? Which application might be best option to buy? I tried Pokersnowie a bit with a free trial but I am not sure is it a real deal even for a lazy person or is there better one for presenting my leaks? At least it's as easy as one can be. Still, I didn't kinda trust enought for the information PokerSnowie gave since it's such a vacuum gto environment. Then there are at least PioSolver and some other tools.

June 13, 2016 | 12:29 p.m.

How would u rank Holdem manager's new pokersnowie addon? Does it base its assumptions on real situations and players or does it give tips in "vacuum"? I am a former msnl player but has been struggling with nl100 in tought nowadays games. It doesn't seem to have any learning curve like gto-solvers. I am too lazy to start working with them and hope they arent necessary on nl100-nl200 but maybe will be :/

Feb. 13, 2016 | 4:40 p.m.

In progressive KO tournaments bounties seems to matter very little if your goal is to make top10. You don't basically need to think about them 95% of time. They kinda cover your buy in fast but that shouldn't be your goal, I guess :)

Thanks for the answers.

I'm a long time cash game player who has some tournament experience and merits from softer fields some years back (mostly from ongame network) but sadly hasn't tried to evolve in current pro fields at all. I have tried to play as many wcoop tournaments as possible up to 700$ buy ins first time ever...Without a single cash out!

Today, I was having really good touch in beginning when we were 100-200bb deep and got 47k stack when avg was little bit more than 20k and bb like 400. After that it was just horrible how I got crushed. I didn't really get any amazing hands to play and stack was soon 20-30bb deep which was amazingly hard to play for me.

I will post a hand which was probably a breaking point in whole tournament. Is this a mandatory call in a new table where I suspect villain to be pretty active? He was at 90k stack but just dropped to 30k+ and instantly shipped to my 3bet. 

http://www.pokerhand.org/?6609502

I hate myself not calling in this spot if I am not comfortable to go with 30bb+ deep which I considered too much to call with AQo on middle positions and it's not realistic to wait for call by him. Am I result oriented if I think afterwards it's an easy call in modern tournament play?
I decided to wait better spot but I was soon on push after one maybe bad open and cb. Antes just got me after couple orbits. Eventually I had 12bb stack and pushed ATo UTG, got called by better and dropped from tournament about 40 slots before cash. This wasn't the first time it has gone like this.

I really felt I was doing something very wrong when we didn't play very deep with small blinds since I was really doing right plays in early tournament.

Any good video out there from this stage of tournaments when stacks get shallower and you need to risk your whole stack?

I would like to add that afterwards I kinda hate how I played this hand even just after hand was played I felt it was ok.

I found out this opponent to be very solid and tight in 6max and in heads up situation. On the turn I see my hand pretty nutsy compared to the flop but too weak to start slowplaying it. Anyways I would like to see mostly draws on my opponents range but it might not be true and had really bad feeling in the beginning. Do you have any argument how to play hand better?

Fistbumb flop, right?

Bet on the river was way too big and suspicious to get called by weak hands generally but I guess some weaker hands might call this (like 8x if there is one for some reason) even I have to admit this is not a good place to start leveling with bets which I tried to do greedily. Problem was that I don't see opponents come over the top easily if I bet half pot but on the other hand I might miss decent value from T9. Anyways horrible timing for me to catch a set but what can u do.

What do you think about this kind of spot? Could anyone have nerve to fold pf to avoid difficult spot? I wish this doesn't look out too much of a whining post.

Played little bit full ring against passive 22/9/1 guy who had massive fish behind cold calling. My 4bet was little bit too much but wasn't sure what min-3bet might be and there was also this recreational player behind...How would u play KK here? Can you honestly argue that it should have been folded? This might be those rare cases where it might be correct but still couldn't.

Afterwards I think minraiser gave me huge amount of information since min5bet (again min) was instant but it just made me more curious :)

I didn't have many hands from opponent but he was little bit loose stylish with 33/19 over 217 hands. I am pretty happy how I played till turn/river.

1) Would you raise either on flop or preferrably on turn? What if he three barrels any card on river?

2) Fold river? Couldn't let it go against so weird line and sizings. I didn't like situation or sizing since I have only a bluffcatcher.

How many tables you usually play on 6max nl200-nl1k? Do you think u play too many tables and what's optimal? I usually play 9 tables but it feels absolutely too many nowadays since I can't follow action what happens elsewhere well enought. Six tables might be just correct amount for me but bad habits are bad.

Every pro here has stop loss limits now and how long have u been using them? How do u find disciple to keep them up?

Personally I find tilting and going to major autopilot mode huge problem. It wasn't real issue back then because you could easily force ten buy ins back till morning if you just keep playing and try to keep concentration on after dark hour or so.
Nowadays, I am not really sure do I even beat msnl. I think I can still beat them with my A-game but too often I just go into major tilt like always, maybe 1-3 times per month and we are talking about 10-20 buy ins losses where is usually several buy ins because of bad run but can be like 2-4 just burned buy ins which is significant in win rate and drops it down to red in current games especially when bad sessions are more common.

This really can't continue like this bc edges are really small especially for me who hasn't played 1knl ever as a main game and I have noticed that former hsnl players play msnl nowadays as a main game and they are just really though. Anyone else had any problems with stop losses?

Post | Tommi Heikinniemi posted in Chatter: Medicines&drugs
There was once a topic in finnish poker forum about what drugs people use or what are generally good for poker. So I don't mean any illegal synthetic stuff even some of those might really help in short term but i believe downsides are so huge that it's not wise to use any of those, obv.

Personally poker has messed my sleeping patterns very deeply for years now and i would be happy if i find some natural stuff to kinda relax. For example I remember somebody had positive experience from 5-htp which is kinda natural anti-depresant.

There must be some meds out there that helps grinders which have positive effects also in long run...

Thanks for the comments. It's nice to see this was really pretty though spot bc got so many different proposed lines. We could probably open it with time is it good call against him looking his history but no one can do that while playing. I think it's close be to go pf with the hand but liked my play overally. Maybe tend to call bc it's really true players tend to be unbalanced in this spot where it looks so profitable to bluff river.

You are definitely very correct. Funny that u figured it out from my post so clearly even I didn't mention much outside poker. I am not really enjoying the game like I used to. One or two years ago I was 'stagnated' to this but this is something beyond that. Thanks for tips again...They really put me to think things.

Jan. 16, 2013 | 2:20 p.m.

Thanks for the very comprehensing answers. I am really sorry I put it up so clumsy. There are no correct stats but just liked to hear what's working with u and why. For example I do strongly believe that I play too loose and that's why I leak money on turn giving up too many times. It was hard to find till I noticed that ptr gives me A on everything else but turn play was like C. I know, ptr is a joke but it can tell something. I wasn't just aware that before.
It was also very nice to hear that I am not alone in this...keep posts like those coming :)

Sickly weird hand. Do you have many hands from him? If he is very solid over thousands of hands and done good in this current session I would say hero fold but in any other case I would snap call. He probably has monster draw but you still have around 50% or more if it's Axh stylish. You don't also know what's happened to him on other tables. Maybe he is just overplaying AK in frustration? It makes it lot easier for u that you haven't raised pf so your monster is hidden and he can actually push optimistic Kx.

Jan. 13, 2013 | 3:10 p.m.

Doesn't seem horrible to me played like this but since you are OOP I would prefer just stick it in on flop. There aren't many hands that you are behind. Only against KT, 33 you are clearly behind. On the river it's hard to get value and you probably need to do hero call sometimes if board runs worse. On the turn you definetely has to call bc you can have best hand pretty often and got redraw practical nuts. It's ok to lead river since hard to get big value when you get there. That's why I prefer just to play fast this nutsy draw.
