Spewtastic

I have been trying to do wayyyyyyy too much these days. The best thing to come from it is that I have converted to essentially no HUD. I still have the pop up and note taking ability as well as last hands but no numbers on my screen. I think this will help me focus more on hand ranges and game flow and get away from making conclusions based on stats. Still checking stats whihc bothers me but I am hopefully done doing that till the 15th after this post.

Also I am in love with Ante tables. They earn me sick reload bonus and rakeback and are +EV as hell because people dont adjust all that much and the fish are in love with them.


Here is a prime example of me being a tard. This is VS Bazclef and I had flatted in this same spot last orbit and c/f. I didnt want to 3bet because I felt like I just get way too many folds and the BB is a weirdo ante table SS who can be sqz happy at times. The flop is pretty terrible for my hand yet at the same time decent. I guess I could c/r and look to get it in given that Baz probably never gives me credit for a J and may rebluff/VB worse. I decide to c/c instead which leads to the turn where I feel like his bet sizing indicates he is setting up a river jam yet he may well be DB looking to push me off anything less then Jx. River is just level city and the truth is we dont have enough history for me to call here.

I like your analysis of the hand. However I really really dislike flatting OOP there, missing SO much value... I think it's a huge mistake to be honest. I'll call you in position with a ton of stuff.

As soon as the flop hits you're stacked. I'd never get away from your hand postflop so you're not losing any reciprocal value.

I'd agree that riv is a fold. Your hand is a bluffcatcher. I never have KK as I've check the turn or riv. Most of the time I'm not gonna barrel here either Once you call flop your range is skewed towards pair/trips... and I'm not really down with having to fire turn/river to maybe make u fold 99.
