Omaha cash
Not the best starting hand but was thinking I was missing value on a largely passive table with a wide range of starting hands. Villain has been very active potting and repotting preflop with less than optimal starting hands. Has shown the ability to bluff with air and make good folds The 9, card not helping much in my…

20NL - 4bet Pot BvB w/ JJ
Got quite a bit of history with DTM, we've ran a fair few big bluffs V each other and made some light (probably spewy) calls downs at times. Particularly BvB it can get messy so happy to GII here if he 5bets me. I'm gonna post the 3 streets in stages to discuss each individually... I'm 4betting small as it'll be cheaper…

Am I missing value longer term?
So pre-flop I took the set-mine option with tens. Sometimes I'd re-raise here but hadn't been long at the table, didn't recognise most of the names and therefore took the passive approach with the plan to fold if the flop comes with overs and progress with caution if the flop is undercards and the betting gets big. Only…

So much for 3 being my lucky number
Before reading, please don't remind me of basic rule of poker no#7: never get it all in during a limped pot. I know, I've metaphorically slapped myself for breaking it. I mostly would like to hear comments on my thought process through the hand so that I can try and learn. I seem to end up facing huge variance from the…

NL10, Master Cash 1: Pre-Flop 3-Bet and Flop-Bet Sizings
Hello, hello. Schumacher had been opening every unopen pot and snap-calling any open-raise. Post-flop he would 'float' every flop, regardless of texture, betting the turn any time it's checked to him and giving up if facing a turn bet. His range is literally any two cards, but if he continues to a 3-bet, his range seems…

Trip Trouble
It's fun trying to become less of a nit, but confusing at the same time. Things were so much easier all those years ago when you just had to wait for aces, kings or queens and knew there would always be at least one person wanting to get it all in with you :) Keen to hear comments on how I could have played this better /…

Why do people always say i'm bluffing in chat boxes
Last night I was playing the DTD games and 2 separate people said 2 me in the chatbox, oh another bluff, cause I won a few hands uncontested. Plus people say it when i'm playing in cash games too, has been happenin a lot the last few weeks. Why do people think I bluff a lot? When I hardly ever do? Just posting this to set…

Big mistake!
3 handed and i folded A9 to the chip leaders min raise! Soooted too lol How bad is this? Rationale; the player is never really getting out of line and is pretty transparent, i just felt that although it was 3 handed, my shove was getting snapped and i was going to be in terrible shape. That being said i don't think i can…

Early stages of Orfy. River decision.
Oppo is unknown to me. Still early levels so no real reads either. The raise on the flop could be a hand that has me in serious trouble but could just as easily be a draw so I decide to see a turn card. On the turn I feel my hand is too strong to fold (should I shove here rather than call?). The river is a tough…

Playing a shortstack on cash...
No real reads on villain however he seems quite passive and will call for draws. Question is how much to bet on the turn? He's a shortish stack. Should I be the betting smaller to give him room to bluff if he wanted and giving him better odds or should I be betting bigger to commit him to the pot? He could have an ace...…

Optimal Play v LAG?
Player is active. He three bets quite a bit pre. He definitely raises into draws and is capable of bluffing down streets. He's also capable of doing this with complete airballs as well as hands with equity. This hand. I think the flop is best to just call in position. My question is the turn... do I flat and let him bluff…

Call or fold the river?
This hand here, i know the 3 bet pre is way to small, it was a misclick. On the river call or fold? It does look like a pretty strong bet, everything or nothing. Never played against opponent till tonight, he is a good MTT player. I tanked till the bar was almost at 0, and felt it looked bluffy, just looking for others…

Line Check
Villain is relatively passive. Likes to float flops. Sees quite a few flops and calls relatively wide. However when he has a decentish hand he bets big - and its not always the nuts either (i.e. he is guilty of overvalueing hands) He's 3 bet a few times pre... mainly when i've raised as i've been relatively active. Im…
