Message: [QUOTE="canbora, post: 6890201, member: 9538"] I couldnt post here in this thread for like a day, weird. lol Anyway. You may not believe this, I'm actually not only ahead this week, but QUITE ahead. Did I make mistakes? Absolutely. But I've played thousands of hands this week. And I've made A LOT of lay downs, including ove rpairs. You're only seeing like, what, a few hands here I'm talking about, out of thousands. You have to figure, counting Jacks or better, including AK... thats 5 premium hands.. I've probably had these hands 40-50 times this week alone. I'd be broke if this happened every time. And yeah, he did play that perfectly. He did. He even admitted, and I believe him, that when it was three handed with us... that he had garbage and was raising every other hand. We had great table talk. I said I'm card dead right now, pure rags. He's like yah same here but you have to play them. And hes right, GTO will never say that, but what are you suppose to do? Not play? Which is why when I was in the BB and he was in the SB and he raised me, I three bet him to steal with pocket 4's. GTO does not recommend this. I mean.. what is "right" ... "correct" ?? I dont know. I'm not saying I have the answers, thats why I'm talking this out. im trying to learn. Ill bet all these super nit TAGs who are folding all of the time think they're playing "right" too. But I'll guarantee the bar for "folds to stealing the blinds" is slid al the way to the right. Is that correct? OH!! and who only bets third pot when they have the nuts (raises hand) lol. I do it ALL the time. When you have the nuts, its a blocker to them. They obviously dont, so what are they calling with? I try to extract as much value as possible. Which Is why I play the same MOST times to disguise the strength of my hand. I WANT them too call and I say to myself, how much can I bet and they call with? I also like to be what I call the arbiter of chaos when I'm on the button and theres like a 6 way limp pot and I have like KJ offsuit. You should probably fold, at best call and fold but.. no. i PROBABLY have the best hand or one of these, I min raise. I force everyone to throw in an extra blind to richen the pot to induce action. If I do have the best hand, which I usuauly do, I get something of value to take down. I usually do this in tournies, but I did it last night at my cash table because I had a rec player and a limp-maniac (f that makes sense) with occasionally a come and go rec player in the 6th seat. So we had lots of limped pots last night. I was on the button with A5 offsuit. Yeah.. I'm seeing the flop. Flop came 5K5. I took it down at the river for a nice little pot by the maniac. Sorry this is so long. btw. lastly, I do have software. I LOVE gto wizard mobile. Its so fun to use. I have several programs downloaded that I use daily and use my free limit up, every day. I also have poker tracker. Honestly, I dont like it. Its a distraction and once even cost me my stack because the overlay blocked the top players bet that I didnt see. Ive noticed it also doesnt take some very important information that it should have with players. I dont think its that good, honestly. its also clunky, unattactive, and not user friendly. I dont see the appeal. But GTO wizard, LOVE IT! I always appreciate your knowledge and insight, sir. thank you edit, also, its also possible, that for this hand... he was in fact trying to steal. Add up the pot at the end, thats 1/5th of a stack in the pot. In a session where were trading the same 10 bb's or so for 3o minutes, thats a nice little take down. That he could have pulled with either pure garbage, or QJ or so. Even though I still should have folded, 100%... The more I think about it the less crazy I think it is that I called. He could have EASILY been doing this. And Now that I think of it. I dont think what he did was perfect. Kings, aces,.......sure. But queens and jacks........I could have EASLY had Ax, Kx, Q x and paired. was he really willing to lay down jacks in this session? .........maybe. I cant say thats a good play. He gambled, so did I.....he won, I lost. Its fun to talk about this stuff.......Ive cashed out my "sit down money" and I'm going to reflect on all of this for a while. Do some more training, Go back to the jedi temple and have obi wan run me through some drills before I return to the table. Since I've started my cash game journey, I've improved exponentially and I plan on continuing to do so. [/QUOTE]
