After some quiet time, I’ve gotten a few hours under my belt the last few weeks and I feel like i’m getting a hold of the basic poker strategy again - resulting in +5 buyins - some comming from the following hands:
Now thats an allin you want to see: Hand#1
Again an allin on river where you want to “snap it”: Hand#2
A little setup helps too: Hand#3
And another one - though I gave him a chance to fold: Hand#4
To win a showdown with A high always gives you confidence: Hand#5
Last but not least I’d like feedback on this fol for 2.5 buyins: Hand#6 - give me your opinion below!
A real poker player has a rakeback deal - So, go get the very same sickening great rakeback deal as I have right here!

Hi Poker Pro
I really think you both misplayed that JTs vs ? hand… Here is why: I like the big raise in position against an early limper because that’s just a very profitable situation whether he calls or not. Then the big blind comes along with whom you’re 2.5 BI deep. Again I like your bet after his check but then the villain raises…!? Here you have got to think about his range for doing so. I’m sure you already had some reads on the guy but when I see his play I’m automatically thinking big draw, a set or a complete bluff. Now what’s the best action against this range? Since you’re in position I think a call is THE ONLY option. If you reraise the guy he can come over the top of you with more or less his entire range forcing you to fold if you’re not willing to gamble with him. I mean if he had made a smaller raise (which he should regardless of what he is holding) you would still be in an awkward situation where you wouldn’t know if your flush draw is any good, if he is on an air ball or he has a set. I know that you wouldn’t gain this information by calling either but you have a chance to keep the pot smaller and make a more educated guess on later streets because of your position. Also if he is on a complete bluff you may take it away from him on the river even if you don’t hit your monster draw. One last thing: your raise size on the flop really invites him to make a play - it’s so small and it’s almost saying “I want you to tell me whether you have a hand or not and I’ll fold if you reraise “….
Regarding Hand#6 - I think he was protecting 2 pair against flushes. You were 51% likely to win.
I had the privilege of playing you last month. I must say that I am amazed that you can make a profit with that playing style. I marked you as a fish for having a high VPIP (>40). Is that usual, or did I catch you on a bad day?
Hope to be seing updates to you blog soon.
How are you doing now? Haven’t updated in a while.
