Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6583647, member: 289533"] It would be much better to you if you could stop limping into the pot, specially IP. What happens is what you have just wrote, you have no idea of villain range, because they checked in the blinds. And you say they are calling station, so if they 3-bet preflop, giving size bet, you can easily call when the odds are on your side and easily fold when they polarize. Use a raise size that would fit all of your values and bluffs: if you play close to 50% range from the BTN use a smaller sizing as 2.15, 2.2, 2.3 BB preflop. If you play less than 30% range from the BTN use a bigger sizing as 2.4, 2.5, 2.7 BB preflop. You should use the same sizing for your values and for your bluffs. Calling station players don’t use to raise frequently, so ask yourself what V is trying to represent. I see you assume that weak players are thinking the same as you are, but this is not real. Most of whales are only considering the brute value of their hands and nothing more; so as fundiver199 said, watch out for overthinking. When you recognize you had lost your mind playing because of a cooler or whatever, quit the game and leave the table and go back to work upon your mindset and mental discipline. It is the hardest part we have to work on it, our ego, so when you feel you are not giving your maximum, lose the tables and find your way out. You don’t have the 4 or clubs so you shouldn’t bet pot, because you had limped preflop, you don’t know your V range, you didn’t expect a check-raise OTF, and your mind was a little disturbed because of your run out of set of 5’s versus JJ. Like yourself I have no ideia what V is raising to, because I had LIMPED PREFLOP. I don’t care about results, V could have shown 77 or AcXc, it doesn’t matter. As played, I’m afraid I would put all the blinds OTF and go all in, to protect my entire range from the flush draw of clubs. However, I’m not really sure, because I would do this in a raised pot, not a limped one. [/QUOTE]
