Max late registration and cash of $7.11. Buy in was $2. Making the final table adds much more money. 1st and 2nd get additional $100 besides listed. And so on at lower amounts. Its the stormers/streamers that bring these.

Yes, that is correct. Best advantage is tracking software only allows the user to see stats verses the current table. So depending on how long staying at a table they only have that hand history on play.

A measure of running bad (Maybe). A negative 12bb/100 hand swing from 2023 to 2024. The sample is about 18k hands on each platform. So smallish sample size. Variance can easily cause this swing over that amount. The hands were played on different platforms and at different buy in. The lower stacks played on ACR is where performance took a dive. Its not an apples to apples comparison but Ignition seems to work better for me.

Got a small turn bet called. The pot sized be on the river was to much vs Periap.

Jumped in this freeroll early in the day mostly for a warm-up. A $10 prize doesn't usually hold my interest and can likely lead to blunder easily. Did make some light calls but was able to hold on and rebuild when needed. Found a way to better 1428 players. That feels much better then the $10 prize. Tight is right when playing a satellite format.

This one was very unexpected. I certainly blundered a few spots per GTO. The villain had already demonstrated willingness to take flops with a wide range. Even in large 3bet pots. I was hopeful to profit from this. The flush draw was the concern. When it bricked that seemed to promote my hand. I failed to correctly assess the river 4 liner achieved. K3 suited was not in the GTO 3bet call range. Lesson I am taking. Don't range the fish. Don't hero call off large bet rivers verses this player type.

Evan Jarvis provided this hand only a few days ago. Initially I was thinking fold pre. Folding seemed a bit nitty when in position holding an Ax suited. Then the idea of squeeze came to mind. Was doubtful that squeezing would generate enough folds to be profitable. So left with the call and pray that the blinds don't squeeze seemed the logical path over the long game. It's certainly likely to be a spot that will be folded post flop often. But with the pot odds so nice and having position it seems that action is likely to be profitable over the long. To give more detail the source of the hand was from a 1-3 live cash game at his local casino. He is mid deep with 150 blinds. I expect he would be one of the better players at the table. I would guess He is incentivized to take more flops and play post flop often.

Coach asked what hero does preflop. Scored max with call. Postflop call of pot sized bet with top pair appears to be a huge fail. The lesson here is that the call preflop was more about targeting a flush. Or maybe if top pair can get to showdown cheap. The pair of aces facing a pot sized bet from the big blind and two callers. Does seem very likely that top pair is way behind with a weak kicker.

Thank you for replies. I did call. As can be seen by the pot odds above, to call the risk only needs to be good 25.9% of the time. The 2 pair top kicker hand AAJJK is likely to be the best hand at least 1 in 4 times to break even. Yes, it loses to villain holding any J or Q, KK, TT and AK. Also yes, the spot is likely under bluffed with a check raise. The villain image leans good imo, but only a 211 hand sample. So, probably not going to value own themselves with a check raise of a worse hand. But they also might be good enough to run a low risk check raise seeking folds when they miss draws. Hard to know for sure. Calling works by trusting the math of the spot. Still, those that found the fold would have been correct for this isolated spot. If can make the correct exploitative fold on a consistent basis then that saves chips. But how much value is being lost over the long term? Is trusting the gut going to win out over the math in the long game?

We called preflop. Went check, check on the flop. Small blind bet large size of 70% pot on the turn. We called. Then villain check raises the river.... now what?

Ah6c on the big blind facing a 3bb raise from the small blind. With just over 200 hands villain seems to be sort of tight passive. Do we fold, call or raise?

ACR makes you wait to see who is at the table till playing the 1st hand. 6 handed is not a long wait till the big blind comes around. Most usually wait. Often those that don't wait tend to be good targets.

River bet of 59bb is huge, so I would think with which worse hands could he bet so big? AJ or AT? Missed flush? Yes, I have to agree with the logic. Its a big bet. I can only really beat bluffs, single pairs, and the unlikely combos of 2 pair smaller then mine. As played a case could be made for premium pairs. My call was in hope that villain had AA, KK, or QQ and basically turned those hands into a bluff on the river. Another factor to consider. This was played at 5NL. I tend to stick to a very conservative form of bankroll management. With many bullets behind. For better or worse this allows for greater occurrences of making light hero calls. One of my coaches advised long ago to trust the math and call. Expect to lose often. When the odds are giving near 4-1 variance is somewhat softened.
