Sometimes I wonder how my win rate would be affected if I...1. Just let my opponent have it when he raises me on a dry board and I only have TP.2. Never called a 3bet 100bbs deep OOP unless villain has an absurdly high 3bet stat.3. Made a plan to bet/fold a river, and actually STUCK WITH THE PLAN.4. Didn't fire that third barrel when villain's range is obviously "I haz pair and no can foldz"Just little things like that I think can really affect my win rate in a positive way. Sure, it's fun to outplay people and make big calls/big bluffs. At times, it can even be necessary. However, as I continue to make improvements in my game, I realize how even more unecessary it is to being a solid winner.just my 2 Lincolns

I already do all of the above mostly. One of the first lessons I was taught from RDog was poker is played for money. Doing anything but trying to win money is retarded. The players who have massive egos and try to 5 bet bluff shove at 25nl are not the guys making a boat load of cash in the UGL tables on PTR.

I think holding the A spade makes this a bad scenario for you... also you're pot committed when you 3bet imoI'd let it go the *first* time... if it becomes repeated behavior AK high is definitely good against the range.

I like making the smaller 3bet on flop because it looks stronger but be aware you can never fold. Defiantly agree with NA.Kind of, I would let it go repeatedly before extending my range, FR is a nit factory and I would want a hell of a good read before trying to push against a range that could very foreseeably be just QQ and KK because they didn't want to go AIPF with KK.

Fine, no real wrong way to play it. I would probably call the flop raise to keep in bluffs but I doubt he is bluffing often.

I like most of it. Curious on why overbet the turn? Are you wanting to get stacks in on the river with a pair of 9's? I think I prefer betting 30-35. Still makes it wrong for him to pay when chasing the flush. Keeps the pot a bit smaller if he does have a T. As you say he slow plays when he hits hands.Kosin Trouble

I think I was thinking that if he had the tens, that he would've re-raised me seeing as there's a flush draw out there. So I posed the trips, and he called. I think he might have the flush draw at this point, so I over bet, and I was under the impression that over betting the pot on flush draws would be a smart move, but I didn't take into account there's just one card left. It would've been better to have bet smaller, less of a risk. I was trying to buy the pot on the turn, though I probably would've stacked off if that spade didn't hit. Another thing is I believed he was either slow playing when he gets something, or just slow plays against me. He never bet at me once heads up, and lost a lot of value on big hands.

GL James, just log the volume and run hot. ez game.Logged a short session and had a bit of a tilting hand. I should've just shoved river but I thought maybe, I don't know why, but maybe he'd be able to fold a pair of queens to a PSB shove on the 9 river. figured he'd raise w/a straight anyway for his remainder.

Drop down to a limit you can crush and slowly add tables? It may hurt your winnings short term, but improving your macro will help you long termHonestly you should be good enough to at least be 8 tabling.
