Well this is fun bc I made a royal flush, but I have questions on all 3 streets. Villain is 25/20/2.69 6% 3b, plays super loose out of the SB, 58% vpip out of the blinds.Should I raise the flop donk? His super wide pre-flop range makes me believe he can have some worse flush draws.Turn... ohider. Checking back cool or should we bomb it to set up a big bet vs his under flushes and AX hands?River... As played; jam or raise to ~$3.50?No Limit Hold'em $0.05/$0.10Merge Network6 playersFormatted by pokercopilot.com - Mac OS X hand history analysis and trackingStacks:UTG - Hero ($10.99)MP - UTG ($14.80)CO - MP ($8.95)BTN - BTN ($4.05)SB - SB ($6.30)BB - BB ($18.96)Preflop: ($0.15, 6 players) Hero is UTG with K Q Hero raises to $0.30, 3 folds, SB calls $0.25, BB calls $0.20Flop: T A A ($0.90, 3 players)SB checks, BB bets $0.67, Hero calls $0.67, 1 foldTurn: J ($2.24, 2 players)BB checks, Hero checksRiver: 8 ($2.24, 2 players)BB bets $1.12,

Flop: I like calling. Yeah, he can have some weaker FD's, but is he calling with them on a paired board oop (maybe?). Plus we might have the best hand here some of the time, and even counterfeit outs with a T if he's donking a small pair. Turn: Betting is good if you think he'll call with hands like QT, QJ, and KJ. River: I think we lose value if we shove (unless you know him to be a huge station). The only hands that will call a shove are FH's, and based on his bet sizing, I'd be surprised if he ever has one here. So I like raising to $3.50 like you said, or maybe even a little smaller to target the weaker end of his range. The blocker bet seems like he's looking for thin value with a hand like KJ.

oh ya and nh

I think he is probably bet/calling or bet/folding regardless of bet size. What sort of hands do you think he would bet/call to a smaller raise and do you think he has more of those hands than he does ones he will call off vs a shipski?

[SuperJon]

I see what you're saying, but I think a smaller raise just has a better chance of getting called. The reason being is that it gives him a chance to level himself into making a bad call based on "pot odds", and allows him to spazz as well.

KJ, results of royal flush hand??

[KingJames]

Jammed and he folded; ugh

[SuperJon]

Lame.So what do you think of this Br management plan on moving up? I'm playing 3 tables these days, and I was thinking taking shots at the next level at 15 BI's, and starting with 1 table and then 2 tables of my current limit, and then changing a table at 20 bi's and 25 bi's.

[KingJames]

I think that's a really good plan. Are you getting close to taking 25nl shots?

[SuperJon]

Yeah I took one last night, and had MDoranD on my direct left, he 3bet a couple of my CO opens when I was weak. And then I tried a horrible dbl brl bluff on AKQx tt, and checked the river when the flush card hit and he checked back with AJ. Then I quit down like $15.

[KingJames]

I have a few hands on him; seems aggressive/competent

[SuperJon]

Before BF, he was one of the best (if not the best) 25nl player on Stars. I watched some of his card runner videos a long time ago, really good player and good at explaining his thoughts.

[KingJames]

Oh....Yeah, he's good at value betting etc from the hands I see that he's won in my db. KT > T8 on TTX and AA > 99 in 3b pot on 743 or similar.He did double barrel me with 66 IP on 823ttJ. I had TT tho... so I won.

[KingJames]

Finally owned Raisasaur. You know him Jon?He 3bets me a ton. So I got a lil 4bb in with K9ss and then 22 > AK on AK2; ez game

[KingJames]

P.S.- games are good.

[SuperJon]

Can't say that I have.Hey if anyone has about 14 hours to kill to watch some amazing pool played. Check out this match.That's part 1 of 15. It was played in 1996 between two of the best 9 ball players in the world. A race to 120 (over 3 days) for $100,000.

[SuperJon]

Ok, I'm actually at a table with that Finally owned Raisasaur right now. He seems to be pretty aggro, but passive on the river.

[KingJames]

Yeah, he's up a lot at 10nl and breakeven 25nl I think.Oh, I chose not to cold 4-bet AA this evening.I lost to a 97o that 3b an utg open.

[Stupidhead]

James, not betting the turn with the royal is burning money.Jamming river is by far the best play too.
