As a streamer I really like this idea and can't wait to try it out (like I needed another excuse to try RIO the moment it opens).

Poker streamers will often have affiliate accounts set up for the sites they play on to potentially earn some extra income. Will RIO Poker have a typical affiliate program as well?

Looks great so far!

I'll add my +1 to straight cards would look better on the table than slanted ones.

Also, while I love the idea of dynamic avatars, some of the faces aren't particularly pleasant to look at. For example at ~14 mins there are 4 players with the raging tilt face. Playing with a table full of these faces would probably put me on more tilt than whatever caused my avatar to get that face in the first place.

BN: $100.00 (Hero)
SB: $140.09
BB: $108.58
UTG: $187.76
SB is a fish. 49/15 over 80 hands and quite poor postflop.
CO is likely a reg. 30/19 over 200 hands. 40% (10/25) raise first in from CO.
BB is likely a reg also. 27/21 over 160 hands. 17% (4/23) 3bet from bb, 4% (1/23) squeeze.
Preflop ($1.50) Hero is BN with J K
2 folds, CO raises to $3.00, Hero calls $3.00, 2 folds
I call pre hoping that SB calls as well.
Flop ($7.50) 9 9 Q
CO bets $3.72, Hero calls $3.72
Turn ($14.94) 9 9 Q Q
CO checks, Hero bets $8.00, CO folds
I auto bet this. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure.

Pros:
We leave our range uncapped.
Betting turn will likely prevent us from being bluffed on the river.
We need some bluffs in our range and this blocks J9, QJ, KQ, JJ and KK.

Cons:
He never folds a better hand (TT+, 9x, Qx). Not sure about Ax since we can have some counterfeited hands like 88- and we have draws.
Everything that folds we had beat anyways.

Thoughts? Am I over thinking this?

Thanks!
Final Pot BN wins $14.27
Rake is $0.67

Comment | Nigh commented on Big draw facing flop C/R.

Why not just 3bet your bluffs to the same sizing you'd use with AK, K9?

Sept. 24, 2014 | 6:38 p.m.

Preflop just seems unnecessary. Unless he's folding way too much, this seems like a bad spot to 3bet bluff.

Flop is kinda gross. I would probably cbet and hate it but maybe x/c is better with a pair + overcard + bdfd, I dunno.

On the turn your only options are jam or fold. Given his stack size he's probably a recreational player and I'd expect him to just call with every offsuit Jx and Tx so jamming seems bad.

Comment | Nigh commented on Big draw facing flop C/R.

I hate the shove because you'll never be balanced with it. What value hands would you raise to 41.70 over 6.99? If you do this with value hands as well then this hand won't be as bad but then you'll be playing your value hands poorly.

That being said... With 41% equity he only needs to fold ~25% of the time for this to be breakeven. If he folds TT, JT, QT, QJ then he'll be folding ~58% of his range (give of take a couple % depending on his range) and it'll be profitable until they realize you have no value hands and start calling with 100% of their raising range.

Also, fun fact! While you have a pretty good draw, you're actually behind every single draw he can have except (maybe) K8cc.

I don't know if $12 and $16 are the right numbers but I like this logic.

Sept. 19, 2014 | 6:01 p.m.

Comment | Nigh commented on 100NL River Sizing

So we have exactly 3 combos of bluffs with KQhh cc dd.

Then we have 28 value combos with AK, AQ, 33, 22. We're only bluffing ~10% of the time so I think betting near pot would be pretty bad.

I would bluff KQ for $12.

Comment | Nigh commented on 100NL River Sizing

I thought my bet was possibly too large for exactly that reason. Why half pot?

Sept. 17, 2014 | 11:28 p.m.

I think since this isn't a slam dunk call against villain, then a call pre is probably much better.

It's incredibly hard to get you to 39% without including random 7x or 9x in his range, even if we include an obscene amount of flush draws. I'd say it's a fold without a stronger read on his range.

Interesting enough JJ has slightly worse equity than TT against overpairs, sets and flush draws. 

Sept. 17, 2014 | 6:38 p.m.

Jonas, how do you think his calling range changes between jamming and 2.5x?

I don't think he can be too strong here. Flushes are unlikely, Qx (including KQ and QT) are unlikely, same with KJ/J9/TT/QQ/KK/55. Not sure about AK/AJ.

I didn't want to turn my hand into a bluff so I decided to x/c and expect to be good fairly often if river gets checked through.
River ($14.18) T 5 Q K J (2 Players)
Hero bets $12
Pretty much the worst card for me. I lose to any Ax and any random heart and can get bluffed very easily if we have the best hand.
I don't think he has Qh basically ever. He can have Ah but I decide donking will likely have a higher EV than checking and losing 100% of the time.

Sept. 17, 2014 | 5:43 p.m.

River isn't an overbet, villain only has ~18 left.

The hand looks good to me. I think his range is likely capped to Kx at best when he checks river with that amount behind. I would be jamming any AsKx or AhKh for value as well.

Thanks for the input guys. I basically said f it I have top 2 and called river.

I'm curious, what range should we be calling on river? I don't think we have any 2x in our range so are we only calling flushes and full houses? Folding AA?

Hand History | Nigh posted in NLHE: 200NL HU Top 2 get raised on river
SB: 276.80
BB: 239.80 (Hero)
Villain is a recreational player. No HUD, but he is playing nearly 100% on sb, raising around half the time, limping the rest. This is my 3rd 3bet and he's called them all.

Postflop he is donking nearly every flop OOP. Folding to cbets when he didn't donk.

This is about 35 hands in.

Hero was dealt J K
SB raises to 4, Hero raises to 16, SB calls 12

No brainer c/c given postflop reads and how wide he probably is?
Turn (63) 2 J 2 K (2 Players)
Hero bets 38, SB calls 38
Don't really want to chance a free card. Plus there are so many hands he can call with including any diamond, any Kx, Jx, maybe Ax, any straight draw.
River (139) 2 J 2 K 5 (2 Players)
Hero bets 75, SB raises to 150, Hero calls 75
I considered checking the river since I think he has tons of missed draws but I thought I'd be losing far too much value if a Jx or Kx check back the river.

Not sure what to make of the river raise.

River is an overbet of $84 into $60. He has 38% bet river stat and I don't know enough about him to know if he could do this with a busted fd.

I think I can have 33 and 55 here and KQ so KJ seems to be the bottom of my range. I don't think I get to river with any flush draws after his turn sizing. Is river a fold?

July 10, 2014 | 2:56 a.m.

Against a fishy looking opponent I'd bet bet bet this. River kinda sucks but when there's only ~1/2 pot behind I think you need to jam your AA.

Comment | Nigh commented on 200NL HU. Odd River Spot

You don't think he ever calls with 55-88, 87, 86, 76? It's probably still too thin but just calling the minbet seems so weak when I'm near the top of my range.

Villain is relative unknown. He's been tight OOP and not 3betting much. Loose IP and calling a decent amount of 3bets. Has been fairly floaty both IP and OOP on flops. No HUD stats.

I expect him to call flop wide so I'm giving him a chance to bet his floats. He can't have many TP hands to call twice with since I have top set.
River (193) 6 Q 5 8 7 (2 Players)
Hero checks, SB bets 2, Hero raises to 344
Assuming it's not a misclick... he has a straight here pretty much never. Is shove ok or too thin? ~110 behind.

Checked turn planning to check/shove assuming he'll have a ton of JT, J9, T9, 8x and midpairs. Possibly 97, 67 though I'm not sure he'd call that loose. His turn bet size makes a c/r super awkward so I call.

I'm pretty sure our hand is too weak to call and I still think his range is wide so I shove. Thoughts?

No idea what his range is here. Kinda want to fold since any sort of draw has at least a pair of sevens now but there's a ton of draws he is just floated random overs plus the bet is tiny.

Bet is tiny again. All turned draws missed other than Kxhh. What's our play?

Confirmed fish and we have a FH. Please don't fold.

May 17, 2014 | 1:57 a.m.

Are we really assuming he has all combos of J9o in CO vs UTG?

May 17, 2014 | 1:53 a.m.

It's hard to see much he could be semibluffing with in these positions. Some AsXs maybe but there aren't really any bare jacks he can bluff with unless he's a complete fish.

I think this is a fold. His value range crushes our hand, we're not getting good enough odds to go for the full house.

May 17, 2014 | 1:52 a.m.

Comment | Nigh commented on nl100 QJ gs bluff

Turn is pretty bad and it's very obvious you're bluffing.

Villain range is mostly Ax, Kx and draws. He can't really have a good aces if he's a reg and 3bets. Kx and weak Ax (most of his Ax) check back the turn... draws can go either way. So why would you go for a c/r if you had a value hand? You'd be missing out on so much value.

River is fine I guess since you have to shove once you get there like that.
