Probably 'cause 99% of the poker i play is holdem, i don't mind PLO but have never really took to it, so i guess irish is different enough to seem fresh but still feels kinda familiar

Completing here is fine, I would lead flop nearly always and fold to any aggression. Its fine to limp behind others when stacks are deeper too, though it depends on your abilty postflop, ie. picking up pots when no one is interested, aswell as not paying off second best hands.

Not sure what i'd do, which seems to be the case in alot of situations in irish poker so far Smiley but i can't get enough of this game, most fun i've had playing poker in ages

I don't think you are getting many folds on this turn, particularly when the table is rowdy and he hasn't been too involved. This turn bet-size is very strong live too imo

Yeah flat pre all day here, postflop is always going to be ugly when you inevitably get flatted.

Not really, you get checked to sometimes, you can bluff raise stuff that isn't good enough to call - weaker pairs/gutshots/air and you can hit draws/nice hands. When you flat you get alot more information on the flop about your opponents likely hand strengths. You are more able to gauge bet sizings/timings + board texture and decide whether your image is good enough to represent something stronger or whether you have implied odds or to take a free card etc. If you 3bet, you  lose relative position - the hand will likely get checked to whether they have hit or not and you will have a more difficult time folding out pairs etc.

I'm not saying 3betting isn't profitable though, alot of the time people will flat and just fold flops. Having the initiative is a bit easier but its also overrated, particularly with more money behind.

I prefer flatting for a few reasons; when you 3bet you're going to get flatted alot by the first guy which means the second guy will come along. The type of hands they call with all will have good equity vs you which isn't great now that the stack to pot ratio is bloated. When you flat you have a much better chance of getting them off hands postflop with money behind - forcing them to make a larger equity errors. Squeezing postflop with some equity is always going to get more respect than pre. Plus J9 is lovely and you can hit a ton of flops and not get 4bet Smiley

Even with an really optimistic range including some suited aces/AK and bluffs with KK/JJ our equity is still only about 50%. Though i think his range is much stronger than that. Any sort of pure bluff seems really unlikely in a FR game at 50nl in early positions, especially on a board that smashes an EP range. Vs a wider flatting range that includes more QJ/JT decent bluffing hands I would be more inclined to call down, but villain is probably multitabling/mass tabling and isn't going to be flatting much more than PPs/strong aces or planning to get out of line

In FR I'm folding somewhere, not sure where but definitely somewhere. Prob river when we can remove AK etc imo. This is presuming a reg woudnt vb AK on the river, not qualified to comment there really.

Yeah i guess AK isn't impossible, though i think it would bad vs on this board vs anyone decent.

np, yeah i think his flatting range here is going to be very tight, and the board really hits your perceived range so even if he did have some FDs/bluffable hands i don't think he would raise them in this spot. Combo wise we do block TT and AA and he may not flat KJ pre (though that would mean he doesn't flat QT either), but i think even though he doesn't rep that many hands, i think his bluff frequency is going to be extremely low.
11  Poker Forums / Poker Hand Analysis / Re: Flop 2 pair facing raise on: February 18, 2013, 10:54:12 PM
I think its a folds vs vs a 16/14's flatting range here, he probably has all combos of TT/QQ some of AQ/AA. Even if you add AK and some Ax suited hands its still looks ugly equity wise. He would have to be bluffing a decent % with pocket pairs which seems extremely unlikely at 50nl without history, and obviously wouldn't be a great board to do it on.
12  Poker Forums / Poker Hand Analysis / Re: Live cash - two preflop spots with AQ on: February 18, 2013, 06:11:41 PM
I'm always tempted to focus on why he hasn't flatted to keep the whale in on hand two. Though seen as your range should be wide-ish value, its probably a good spot to 4bet with the top of his. The fact he is opening oop to the whale and the fact you are 3betting from BB would make me fold this.
13  Poker Forums / Poker Hand Analysis / Re: hand from GPS @ Star City number 2 on: February 14, 2013, 07:12:07 PM
Yeah i would just flat his limp/raise. You don't have to auto stack off, if he looks like he wants to shovel money into the pot you're probably not good. Find this out for cheaper IP by seeing a flop + giving yourself a chance to realise some equity. The fact that he won a previous hand off you probably makes it all the more annoying, but its only two hands. Both being UTG so you don't really have enough info to assume hes crazy or playing back at you.
14  Poker Forums / Poker Hand Analysis / Re: 400nl river range on: February 11, 2013, 06:29:19 PM
I think it looks a good spot to cc some overpairs from UTG, seen as his perceived range is strong and with no history he can't expect light calls downs if he bets three streets. Alot of stuff that calls will bet itself here too, whilst allowing some floats to bet.

Check flop imo, your getting peeled so much on this board 3 way - paticularly on a table with this atmosphere and whats been said. Like even when you do pick up equity on the turn, there are so many pair + draw type hands that wont fold.
