Jumped in a juicy 30/60 6-handed game for a bit today. First time in a while. Went -3BB to +7BB to -12BB to +3BB over about an hour...which aren't very big swings. Also continue to run pretty decent at 5/10 HU on FTP. People like to sit with 10BB and bust in less than 5 hands against me. Then got in a match with a pretty aggro player. I was doing fine against him, but at some point, I won a hand where I peeled with Qs3d on an Ac 5c 2c flop. He typed, "why did you peel with that?" Noting that he said 'peel' (strat-speak) instead of 'call', I quit him a couple of hands later. There are easier fish in the sea.

i'd say that this is overcome by the fact that he thinks peeling with q3 on that board in a HULHE game is bad, and i'd probably keep running him over

My first reaction to this was that it seems loose. Is it standard to peel with gutters and Q on monotone boards without the suit?

[checkymcfold]

folding there every time is way too tight to be successful at hulhe, imo.i'm currently having yet another 50BB downswing. give me five minutes and i'll be back to even.

I deviated from my course about midmonth. For whatever reason I took a left turn away from LHE, and sunk a bunch of time back into tourneys. That ends tonight. I'm done. Although I had really good results I went back to not even having fun playing again. So I cashed out my bit of scrilla and I'm back on the grind at .50/1. I want to try to put in 20000 hands at least in December. But first, I gotta get the damn postgresql thing to work on HEM so I can use it. Don't even know why I posted that. I'm gonna win a brazillion BB's this month. GL to everyone else.oh, and eff da bears.

Sounds like a plan.

I'm currently at $90.30. I kinda cheated though because the other day Cake refunded me $33 for a tourney ticket I didn't even know I had. I just played 200 hands at .25/50 and made 80 BBs. Going to move up at 100 BBs for the next level until I reach 2/4.I'll be at $1k by the end of the week.

is this a value bet?9 handed 3/6 cake pokerutg +1 limps i raise from mp with two queens big blind calls as does limperflop comes down 4c9s5c i have no clubs. check / check/ bet big blind folds utg+ 1 calls.turn comes a ksutg+1 checks i bet he calls.river comes a 6shis line is weird given that if he had any draw of any sort he should have tossed in a semi-bluff somewhere. i also do not want to bet/fold the river against somebody who i don't know (i don't know this guy at all), and i think if i bet this river i have to fold. if i knew he was loose passive i would feel comfortable bet/folding this all day long.

i think it would be a bigger mistake to lose value here longterm than it would be to bet/call against an unknown to verify some info. so yes, bet/call if you really want to make sure you see his hand. obv, bet/fold is correct vs. a lp, as you said.

without any backdoor draws, i don't like peeling overcards when we could be in a bad reverse implied situation.

you cant just come in here and post a couple things that "contribute to fcp" and expect everyone to believe you actually do good things for this community. Nice try though.

In traditional strat, probably not. In GTO+Exploitational Hybrid New Hotness, it's relatively standard.
