For anyone interested he ended up tank calling river and showed me 99 for a flopped set. :(

Trying not to be results oriented here.

Glad a little surprised that this hand wasn't considered out of line getting it in with a medium strength hand 200 blinds deep. If this was a non-straddle pot does it change much?

What were your plans for a suited River, or a possible straight if the SB shoves into you?

If an A,T,J or spade I would have to make a judgement call in the moment. Probably calling a bit more against non spade rivers if led into.

If you try and pot control IP after a flop min check/raise, I think you are playing into the hands of SB who may be doing this with a draw? He should be weighted toward draws and weak pairs in my experience, and the river could be trouble.

That was my reasoning at the time. More often than not its a weak play by OOP trying to see a cheap river.

I tend to agree that my flop bet should probably be a bit larger... this is live after all and most players have very inelastic hands so betting larger not only protects my hand it also gains maximum value from those sticky type of players.

Where in the Bay Area do you play?

May 21, 2019 | 3:32 p.m.

This hand is from a live 2/3/5 9-handed game in the Bay Area. The current hand has been straddled to $10 and effective stacks are $1000. Villain in the hand is your average bad 2/3/5 player who calls a bit much but I haven't seen him get out of line much with raising.

Preflop (Pot size: 0)
BTN posts 2
SB posts small blind 3
BB posts big blind 5
UTG straddles 10
UTG+1 folds
UTG+2 calls 10
MP folds
HJ folds
Hero bets 40
BTN folds
SB calls 37
BB folds
UTG+2 calls 30

Flop (Pot size: 137) [Q♣︎9♠︎5♠︎]]
SB checks
UTG+2 checks
Hero bets 60
SB raises 120
UTG+2 folds
Hero calls 60

Turn (Pot size: 377) [K♦︎]]
SB checks
Hero bets 250
SB calls 250

River (Pot size: 877) [3♦︎]]
SB checks
Hero is allin 590
SB tank calls after about 2 minutes

Summary (Pot size: 2,057)
SB shows ??
Hero shows [K♣︎Q♠︎]]

TBH the flop re-raise was a bit out of character and the turn and river lack of aggression really through me off. Should I be going for maximum value here or should I try and pot control after the flop re-raise? Thoughts on turn and river sizing?

I heard that PIO with on-demand instances is a bit tricky due to the licensing and the fact that you would get a new machine each time. I haven't tried but something to consider.

Not much to it. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/

Start an instance. Download a .rdp so you can remotely connect to it and voila its just like your own desktop.

Post | StaticVoid posted in Chatter: Database to PIO Ranges

Is there anyway to take a database of hands (PT4, HEM) and import them to create PIO ranges? Basically I want to take what my population is doing instead of trying to create my own biased ranges.

Thanks.

Post | StaticVoid posted in Chatter: Monker vs PIO

Sorry for the very generic question but what program is best for NLHE analysis? Are there a lot of players out there using Monker for analysis or is this still heavily weighted to PIO?

Pros to Monker
- Can solve MW
- Can also solve PLO (which I also play)

Cons to Monker
- Interface seems subpar compared to PIO
- Slightly more expensive than PIO Basic but comparable to PIO Pro

Thanks for any input.

Party is over for @SetMineUrAss. He can’t win anymore so he rains on everyone else’s parade.

July 8, 2018 | 10:56 p.m.

This post Is hilarious. SetMineUrAss Please tell me what incentive ignition has to rig the RNG? If you lose all your money then you aren’t paying rake. Seriously sounds like you are just bitter about the fact that others are making money and you can’t.

Game: Typical 9-handed 2/5 game with 3+ players to the flop.

What are some good tools to analyze live play? I'm finding trying to range all but the extremely tightest opponents completely futile. I am also a bit lost on what "correct" RFI, cold-calling and 3-betting ranges/numbers look like.

How should I go about improving my game?

PIO seems pretty much useless since most if not all hands are 3+ handed and as mentioned, ranging opponents is difficult. Would PokerSnowie be something to consider? Monker? Posting Hand Histories? Anything else?

Thanks.

Comment | StaticVoid commented on PIO Ranges

Ugggh. I'm almost positive that anything for sale is going to be overpriced.

Surprised there is no community support for common ranges. Seems pretty basic.

Post | StaticVoid posted in Chatter: PIO Ranges

Are there any freely available PIO ranges? If so please let me know. Thanks

Post | StaticVoid posted in Other: PIO vs MonkerSolver

Any thoughts on PIO vs MonkerSolver? Seems that the pre-flop solving capabilities of Monker is quite powerful.

Comment | StaticVoid commented on PIO Unlocked

That helps a lot. Thanks

June 11, 2018 | 7:48 a.m.

Thanks. There are quite a lot of videos on RIO. Any in particular you would recommend?

June 10, 2018 | 2:39 p.m.

I have the same questions as I am finally trying to understand PIO. Let's keep this thread going...

Post | StaticVoid posted in Chatter: PIO Unlocked

Any reviews on this course? Worth the money for someone relatively new to using PIO?

June 9, 2018 | 7:59 p.m.

If you have any software needs let me know.

Comment | StaticVoid commented on Opening ranges

Ok I am nitting it up then. I guess it depends on BB's tendencies. If somehow they are folding at any decent percentage I think we can open 45%.

My initial comment was also based off of a 3x open

June 9, 2018 | 7:40 p.m.

Comment | StaticVoid commented on Opening ranges

That SB percentage seems a bit high no? That may include a limping range. I don't believe we can really open more than ~30%. Someone please correct me if I am wrong as I am by no means any sort of expert (or close to it)

Post | StaticVoid posted in NLHE: Population Tendencies

Sorry for a rather vague question but I have been out of the game for awhile and just wondering what are the current population tendencies are for your basic stats (VPIP, PFR, 3B, etc) across 0.5/1, 0.5/1 and 1/2?

Thanks!

June 9, 2018 | 7:45 a.m.

Seems to have a positive impact on live play. Counter-intuitively seems to help with patience.

May 23, 2018 | 3:10 p.m.

they haven't been bankroll crippling because not once this year have I chased losses by opening more tables or playing higher stakes! (ROUND OF APPLAUSE)

^^^ my march goal

Comment | StaticVoid commented on pio solver

Yes its free. It's a bit different than bootcamp in that you don't need to dual boot into it which is nice. As ZenFish mentioned its really only restrained by the amount of resources you give to it.

Post | StaticVoid posted in Chatter: Will AI ruin online poker?

Curious how others view how AI is changing the game. As computers and our understanding of the mathematics of poker improve I wonder if this will ruin online poker over the next few years. I would think for a game as "simple" as NL it for sure would... maybe even PLO. How do others view this looming doomsday scenario?

Also on Mac. I use Virtualbox w/ Windows 10

Feb. 20, 2017 | 3:11 p.m.

Thank for the response. Ok, that makes a lot more sense. I was curious how one would put in so much volume otherwise.

I'll be following this thread to keep up with your progress and wish you the best of luck in 2017!

Feb. 20, 2017 | 3:09 p.m.

Great blog. The intro rings very close to home and I am trying to emulate. I've played for many years but not really taken it seriously and would like to change that. The one thing that strikes me as hard to emulate is attempting to put in 50k hands a month. I could MAYBE put in 10k. How do you put in so much volume? Do you have a full time job or is this your job?
