First 6max session... evah

[miaowmiaowchowface]

Well, I've been running pretty bad (and playing like shit) at FR, so I thought I'd give 6max a go today.

Results? I'm honestly surprised at the general weak standard of play. I managed to get up 9 buyins in about 1000 hands, but I do run hottttt.

Anyway, here are some of the hands from my session which I had trouble with.

???
Is a queen or flush ever part of his range?

Hand#2
Hold'em No Limit ($1/$2)
Seat 1: esposito33 ($69.85 in chips)
Seat 2: southFLApimp ($76.10 in chips)
Seat 3: Mckittrick19 ($237 in chips)
Seat 4: bballjm ($294.25 in chips)

*** RIVER *** [3s Qh 4c 5s] [Qd]
WEBBANATOR: checks
Hero: bets $540.60 and is all-in

This villain was fairly weak-tight, and I'd been pushing him around a fair bit (Isoraising a ton). This a good spot to 3barrel? I doubted he had a queen, he usually leads out on the river with a big hand.

Hand #3
Hold'em No Limit ($1/$2)
Seat 1: darkcaller ($199.15 in chips)
Seat 3: V ($345 in chips)
Seat 5: funkeemonkee ($194 in chips)
Seat 6: Hero ($596 in chips)
funkeemonkee: posts small blind $1
Hero: posts big blind $2
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [Kd Ad]
darkcaller: folds
V: raises $5 to $7
tinhouse has returned
funkeemonkee: folds
Hero: raises $15 to $22
V: calls $15
*** FLOP *** [Qc 8c As]
Hero: checks
V: bets $35
Hero: calls $35
*** TURN *** [Qc 8c As] [2h]
Hero: checks
V: bets $85
Hero: calls $85
*** RIVER *** [Qc 8c As 2h] [6h]
Hero: checks
V: bets $203 and is all-in

Can I ever make this call? I find it hard to see anything I'm beating. this has to be a set or AQ right?

What range do you call his raise with?

Life's easy when you run like god

[kingetje]

hand 1: worst card in the deck for your hand.. fold



hand 2: terrible spot for a 2nd and 3d barrel. the board hardly changes anything for his hand... my guess is he took little time to make the call.


hand 3: i'd say this is an INSTA call but the two of you are pretty f*ck deep so its kinda ugly. but you checked 3 times you have to kinda call this

[gumbie]

1: I can't fold a hand like that to a half the pot bet. But he will have a Q or clubs more often than not.

2: This is really good or really bad Totally reads and levels dependant.

3: I see hands where ppl played AK like this all over the place and it's a shitty spot to be in. I think I prefer avoiding 3-betting when I'm gonna be OOP 200BB's deep.

4: Until I have seen evidence someone crai bluffs the river I assume they don't because most ppl don't have the balls. The line this guys takes is really quite ridiculous though.

[Ciso_B]

I think the shove bluff was terrible, you can bluff without shoving.

78 you got too involved.

The AK cos you played the way you did I think you can find a call there too tbh.

[miaowmiaowchowface]

Hand 1: I called- villain shows AA.
Hand 2: villain timed out and called with 73s... guess my read was right lol
Hand 3: I called, villain shows KTclubs.
Hand 4: wouldn't mind seeing a bit more about this =/

[gumbie]

...This villain was fairly weak-tight,....

Hand 2: villain timed out and called with 73s... guess my read was right lol
