New Challenge: Movin' On Up

some sick beats and sweats for dustin, even with QQ against QT you had to sweat the ten. How did you get AK to hold against FD + BDSTRAIGHTDRAW + LIVE CARDS?easy fold of the TT. These guys can be all over that board and you could be drawing dead to runner boat+. Your equity's never great, and you cannot exactly rule out two pairs combo draws straights whatever..it just sucks when you fold and the rest do, too, cuz you wouldn't mind getting it in against Bozza.

Yeah, I folded bc I'm the best like that ;)Except that bozza showed up with Q5 and got it in vs guymoneytaker who had 74ss... moneytaker hit his gutter too, bozza was quite tilted in the chat

Does anyone have any advise on how to flop a set? I don't recall the last time I saw one.

Play more hands (multi-table Rush). Oh, and never fold a pair pre-flop.

Well, I got my teeth kicked in again tonight.I do think I'm playing well, so I guess just keep up with the grind, videos, talking about hands etc...Rocketship to end the month?

I think I probably death roll too much to play Rush, the one time I tried it I got too into auto clicking fold

I know how you feel, this month has been pretty balls. 25NL is owning my soul, 10NL is like printing money compared to this.

Obviously, a very risky play, and possibly a standard bet on the river would get the same result.Basically, villain is never donking the flop and turn, and then check/calling a river shove.

You'd be surprised what some people will call down with at the micros Looks like you had a good read on this guy though, nh.

I think you turned the best hand into a bluff... also, the overshove is probably unnecessary. I doubt you'll see 2x the folds here versus one from a PSB

I like the hand except the river call, especially if you think he whiffed a draw. Your king high no kicker is actually behind a lot of draws he can show up with here. If you're going to go hero on it, you need to pull the trigger on a bluff jam. Also, I'm fully aware this will come off as results oriented, but I actually don't expect a pair/draw to show up here as much as the NFD or a strong king high draw.

[Ninja Ace 1]

I get along with everybody... iono why so many people are tilted by my posts in strat sections. It's like they can't separate the discussion about the hand from the actual person.

good: ability to turn a pair into a bluff.bad: repping a whiffed flush draw like whoa.

i would kinda lean towards villain having a FD in this hand.. maybe he chose to donk his FD on flop and turn and gave up on river.we may have very well have had the best hand the whole time here.

Water is actually really bad to drink when your tongue is on fire fwiw, drink milk or beer.

lol I think that was probably the worst part is I probably did have some showdown value. I think the play is more suited towards your non showdown value hands.I actually haven't taken this line in probably a few years when I first learned it, but out of the 6 or so times I've done it (I know, huge sample ), I've never been called on the river. Not sure how it plays with a PSB bet vs. a shove.

good: ability to turn a pair into a bluff.bad: repping a whiffed flush draw like whoa.

That's the beauty of it. It doesn't really matter what you're repping, because it's just so unlikely for villain to ever donk flop, donk turn, and then check/call a shove on the river.

[babylondonks 5]

I'd be doing that with like KQ there ftr, but I doubt many people are and definitelty nobody at 10nl
