For what it worth...

For what it worth, I don't play the strategy I have mentionned some few posts ago, because my opponents steal to many pots from me. I just min raise most of my buttons and cbet most of the flops, in order to win the pots when noone has nothing. Why I min raise is because I wanna play small pots, playing with my image. This way I can try moves without losing one third of my stack and see how villain is reacting, It's a good compromise beteween the well known "raise 3x" strategy and the "limp" strategy. OOP I play standard : tight

Je ne sais plus si je t'en avais parlé, mais c'est l'approche de Daniel Negreanu, il en parle dans cet article sur son blog : http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-journal.php?subaction=showfull&id=1203305313&archive=&start_from=&ucat=&

Cf la fin :

"Ideally you want to be the aggressor heads up, but if your opponent pushes the envelope to the point where they are uber-aggressive, you can actually beat them by sitting back a little bit and playing a more solid game- hoping they'll make a big mistake.

My approach is pretty simple. I min raise on the button a high percentage of the time and I rarely re-raise from the big blind. On the flop, I bet 50% of the pot a high percentage of the time. There is one other strategy adjustment that I do make, but it's not something I can share as it gives away too much info.

I can understand why people make it 3x on the button, but I think it's a mistake against most good players. I think 2x on the button is more profitable heads up. At the NBC Heads Up this year, I'll be making it 2x until the blinds get up there and I'm forced to either limp or push."

A noter que c'est aussi comme ça que joue Rémiou! Sourire

September, 5th

I played 10 $11hunsgs, 6-to-4. I'm really afraid to play because the connection is so unpredictable ! By the way I lost one HU because of that. It seems like a chinese girl here slows down all the connection herself, because she downloads a lot of movies and so on... Anyway, I made 3 plays I wanna analyse.

Here I played really bad because all know that most of the players do not cbet. The rules are as follow : When villain 3bets out of position preflop, and comes a low flop.

1. If he checks or bets small : he has the AKs kind of hands

2. If he bets big : He has an over pair.

Here, I don't mind the mistake is big in term of EV. Either my EV is positive or negative, but in any ways, it is close to zero. I need 45%, I'm 42% against 22-33, A7, K7, Q7, 97... The fact that leans toward a call is the possibilty that villain could make some randoms moves with middle pairs or something. But it is very seldom. Why I called here is psychological in my opinion. I wanna see the spades coming. That's stronger than me...I will try to remember I must fold in those situations.

Sur la première, il fait un overbet river, c'est vraiment caractéristique d'une énorme main qui s'en veut de se retrouver face à un pot aussi petit. Donc c'est soit brelan d'As, soit couleur, soit full. Je calle en étant inquiet.

Sur la deuxième, bonne analyse. Par contre preflop je vais plutot faire un limp/shove, la raison étant qu'en min-raisant avec 44, je vais toujours me retrouver sur un flop d'overcards et encore beaucoup trop en stack effectif (440). Mauvais SPR à mon sens.
Alors que si je limpe, je peux folder sans souci (ou push sur les flops 992 ou AJ4), et s'il relance, je fais tapis, vu que la plupart du temps il sera faible et aura juste voulu voler après mon limp (et même s'il n'est pas faible, je suis toujours favori s'il n'a pas de paire).

La troisième enfin, j'aime bien le call... en cash game. Tu as un backdoor straight, et il peut faire ça avec un flush draw inférieur (89 par exemple) auquel cas il est complètement mort.
Mais en tournoi, tu es à 2000 contre 1000, la situation est donc très confortable pour toi, et il te faut éviter la variance si elle n'est pas EV+.

Voilà pour mes avis, en espérant avoir apporté quelques idées. Clin doeil

What Villain is doing ?

I observed some spewy moves from a lot of opponent these last few days. I wonder if there isn't a poker show where some pros made some fancy plays, and then the donkeys try to do it.

Early on the match, villain c/r the turn, which does make any sense. After he calls my flop bet he most likely have a spade draw. He seems like the queen has helped him, but with which kind of queen does he call the flop with ? The Qsxs call the turn as well, he could have Q3, Q2, but thoses are unlikely hands preflop. A few months ago, I would have folded because there were always two pair or better, maybe something like Qs9d. But this last few days I very often see this kind of weird bluffs. Sometimes it is pur bluffs, sometimes they are for example 98 which get exited a street to late. I don't know if it is because I have changed my game in some ways or if poker is changing. Anyway, nowadays I'm more inclined to call any moves like that.

Le call au flop avec 2 overcards est hyper-fréquent à ces limites, et permet de faire pas mal de value en checkant le turn et en attrapant les bluffs à la river.
Par contre son bluff en relance est vraiment très étrange, surtout que sa relance est presque minimale, et tu sais comme généralement c'est un mauvais signe.
Et au final sans read j'aurais vraiment du mal à caller la river, car pas mal de morons vont prendre cette ligne bien trop forte avec leur Qx qu'ils sont tout fiers d'avoir touché et vont te battre au kicker (tu as la pire Q).

dynamic board

I have noticed something I think is somewhat interesting. Until now, I always overrated the flop. When the flop is dealt, it's time to evaluate your hand, because the most part of information is available. However, your equity can be quite smaller as it appears. Consider this exemple : You have Ac7c, raised before the flop, which is coming 7h5h4s. Your opponent checks. Should you bet ? I'm not sure about those situations anymore. I would still bet, but here is the trick : If your opponent has something like

7s6s, 6h5d, Kd6d, 9s8s, JhTh, he has respectively 45%, 49%, 41%, 42% and 55% against you. Now, what kind of hands are willing to play with you ? Exactly thoses printed above. Although Q5 will call you on the flop, you do not win any more money from thoses hands. Therefore, your what appeared a nice hand isn't that good. Moreover, the war of informations helps your opponent, because he knows when he makes his hand, but you don't. This last point is definitively that one which is killing you. Overall, you are in a bad shape. That's why checking on the flop in thoses situations may be correct in my opinion, although it is told to you to always bet in order to pretect your hand. Be aware that the hand have to be played until its end, and because of that, you have not to protect an underdog. Thus, we check the flop. Now comes the turn. "Le tournant", en francais, qui n'a jamais aussi bien porté son nom. You can now see on which side the coin is falling. If a blank comes, you can bet your hand in order to protect it. But if a scary card comes, check the turn and you may call a river bet with goods odds to pick up bets from missed draws.

-> Quel romanciero!

Sinon je suis d'accord sur l'analyse, mais le bet au flop n'est pas foncièrement mauvais je trouve. Ce qu'il faut éviter à tout prix, c'est de construire un gros pot. Donc si j'ai la position, je vais miser le flop, puis checker le turn. A la river mon adversaire va miser extrêmement souvent, peut-être 70% du temps.
Là il faut évaluer selon la taille de sa mise et le nombre de draws qui sont rentrés... Mais la plupart du temps c'est un call.

Vannes, FJT

Je suis donc bien arrivé à Vannes jeudi soir, avec mes trois sac d'environ 10, 30 et 40 kilos respectivement. Apres avoir fait un détour d'au moins 1,5 fois le parcours initial je suis arrivé dans ce FJT, qui, ma foi, me laisse un sentiment mitigé. D'abord la mauvaise surprise de découvrir qu'il me faudra payer 315 et non 275 euros. Ensuite la désagréable impression d'être sous surveillance en permanence. Tu peux faire ce que tu veux. Mais visiblement ici, la liberté a un prix. Tu peux aller sur internet, mais il faut demander qu'ils allument la live box. Tu peux rentrer apres 00h30, mais il faut toquer à la fenêtre pour alerter le veilleur (prions pour qu'il ne s'endorme pas). Tu peux inviter des amis, ou quelqu'un(e) à dormir chez toi, mais c'est 8 euros par nuit et par personne.

 

Ok sinon je tiens quand même à laisser cette adresse : http://belfort-constance-nice.skyrock.com

C'est quoi ce trip d'allumer la livebox? Elle l'est pas en permanence? :-/
