Wazzup biaaaatches. Well I'm basically a poker genious been pimping everything from 6-max, 9-manna sngs, grandamas homegames ye you fucking name it and i'll probably done it.Not only am I an amazing poker player I'm also ridicoulousy good looking, smart, muscular and ofcourse very very humble about.Right now I'm playing Super turbos all the way up to 200$ ( most of you have probably never even seen that much money ) and been smashing it up for like 1% ROI ye maybe even more.So if you are like me you probably wondering wtf this supertstar is doing in this program? Well I don't fucking know, maybe I'm just here to chill who knows?Anyways stay stuned for some genious discussion ( obviously ) and some entertaining guest appeares from our friendly and up coming player Mersenneary.Rock on!

weird hand

http://www.handconverter.com/hands/1298043 Well there's obviously something wrong with HUSNGs handconverter cause I can't make the damn thing work, so this will have to do until you guys get it fixed.Anyways about the hand, I'm playing this tight fish he opens like 45% at the 355$ ( yes am a fucking baller ). He doesn't seem to be the type that plays tricky or anything but none the less I have to admit that I'm tottaly fucking lost on this one, help is certainly appreciated.I just feel ill when the turn A hit cause that's suppose to be my card god damit.But I check and he makes this smallish annoying bet and I just straight up chickened out.

Against someone who is tight

Against someone who is tight I'm not bothering with this t80 inducing motherfuckery. I'm betting t100 that's right twenty more chips you done fucked up.In all seriousness, weird spot for sure. I'm fine with folding the turn but damn is it a painful one. Don't have a serious problem with the flop bet. Just one of those ugly random spots that feels all gross inside but doesn't actually have much of an impact because it's such a rare situation.

I think you're right that

I think you're right that it's a really close/wtf spot which is all that really matters.

Right.

Thanks gonna read that hand converter guide and then just start spamming some hands for ya.I'm not tottaly sure about how am gonna use this thread since I'm going to be coached by you for 10 hours, I mean I have a lot of questions but most of them I rather discuss in our sessions. So I guess posting a ton of hands and asking some random questions about how to adapt to this and that is the way to go.Anyhow about my contbet size in the 3bet pot, when is it correct to bet half, potsize, less than half and so on. Right now I have just gotten into the habbit of betting 40% of pot which isn't an amazing reason to do anything.

h2olga actually has a really good rule of thumb in his most recent video - bet about 1/4 (or a little less) of the remaining effective stack size. So if there's 600 in the pot with 1200 behind, we bet around 250-300, etc

live coaching

Hello folks, so today I got live coached by Mers himself. And to be quite frank he and his vids are probably the reason that I can make money from playing poker today, so I was pretty psyked and nervous about it. In my mind this was the magic pill that was finally gonna make those dollar bills rain. So yeah I took this shit retardedly seriously. So ofcourse my expectations was sky high, finally I was gonna go from a decent winner to a big bad money making machine. ooh no pressure here :P.Anyways the coaching begins and I suddenly realize that I don't have a fucking clue what I wanna learn, talk about or discuss and as great Mersenneary may be he sure as hell ain't a mindreader. So I do what every great student would do in this situation ( cry and start to fucking panic ). Anyways I quickly start to throw myself into every game I can find just praying that some intersting situations or topics shall somehow arise. So I find myself in a situation where I not only have to think about topics to talk about while simontaneously playing the highest stakes I have ever played. I also have to have a conversation on a foregin language for the first time this year. Case in point I got a little bit stressed to say the least :P.But after two hours of me trying to get my shit together and Mersenneary doing everything in his power to make me a better player I somehow managed to feel pretty damn satisfied with it all. Sure I could have done shit better and will next time, but fuck it the fact is that I'm a way way better player today then yesterday and that's what really matters.Lesson learnd and for our next sess I'm gonna pre record all my playing, write down a firm list of topics and then simply have a relaxing poker conversation while we enjoy some serious high level play =).peace the fuck out.

Topics from live sess

Alright so here are some follow up questions from my sess with Mers.So first of you are playing a reg who has around 70% minra according to your HUD (we can assume he's a little bit tighter now because we are shallow) he minra from buttom 15bb deep, what ranges do you flatt // 3b ai?Same question but now we somehow know that our opponent minraises exactly 50% 15bb deep.Same question again but now to make it more tricky we somehow know that our opponent minra 50% and limp 20%, we don't know exactly what he limps but we suspect that it's mostly Q8o, J9o type stuff some trash and a small amount of monsters, also 15bb deep. You are playing rams85 (good reg) he's playing fairly standard from the big blind 3betting a little more than 20%, flatting some folding some. What hands do you minra/call, minra/fold and limp 20bb deep?Same rams guy but now you are 12bb deep, what hands do you minra/fold, minra/call, limp and openshove?Tell me a little bit about limping 12bb deep, why against who and with what kind of hands?We talked a little bit about flatting and that I didn't flatt with enough hands, what range would you flatt vs a 70% open raiser 25bb,  20bb, 18bb deep? And would that range change alot if we played against a 50%,60% or 80% minraiser?Some flops and rivers you tought it was best to bet only 30-40% of potsize can you elaborate a little bit about why and when you think that's best? Well that's about it for today I will harass you more tomorrow, godnight. =)

Big ass update

Hey yo everybody, I haven't posted shit for weeks so I figured it's time to start spamming. My goal for this month was to absolutely master super turbos, I didn't really put any goals for volum, results or anything, I just thought quality before quantity that sort of thing. But I'm pretty much addicted to gambling and playing so I ended up playing a bunch anyways.http://imageshack.us/f/835/maymonth.png/       That's my EV graph for the month unfortunately I'm down like 4k in real money, so that's a nice 21k below EV :O. Ye it's been pretty tilting and hard to deal with, but whatever, shit happens and I'm not gonna bore you with crying to much about it.As far as my playing goes I feel I'm getting better and better for every week but I still have a ton of stuff to learn espescially playing post flop so that my next big goal.Btw I saw you never answered my questions, however you did write some articles that related pretty heavily to it so I guess it's fine :) but I still want you to answer some of the questions that you didn't brought up in the articles. Anyways heres a bunch of new questions and I want in depth answers. :O 1. You are playing a person who flatt with 52% of hands 3b 13% and folds the rest, he's not terrible postflop and probably not super aggresiv vs limps but you don't know that for a fact. How do you play from the SB, what hands do you minra // limp at 20-25bb 15-20bb 11-15bb? 2. You are playing a big winning reg who flatts like 20% 3bets 25%, he likes to CR small on tons of flops, how do you adjust in regards to your cbet frequency, bet sizing and 3betting// flatting he's CRs on the flop? Ofcourse I understand it depends on the hand and the board but just a little bit of theory about adjusting to super frequent Check raisers would be dearly appreciated. 3. I have noticed a new trend among players to cbet 30 into 80 pots instead of 40, talk a little bit about how I should adjust and the pros and cons of me starting to do this myself? On what boards does people do this and on what boards should they be doing this and that stuff? 4. You are playing a winning reg who 3bets to t90 and that stuff with a very big 3bet procent, say about 35%, how should I adjust in regards to what hands to limp, minra and 4b shove? 5. So playing 20-25bb 15-20bb 11-15bb obviously differs alot, what should I think about in regards to hands to flatt with at diffrent stack depths? What type of hands is good to flatt at for example 13bb vs at 20bb, pretty wide question but I'm more thinking about how the equity of hands goes up and down in regard to stack sizes. 6. So you are playing a person who 3bets 33% flatts 21% who loves to be aggresive vs limps with shoving and raising to 3bbs.How would you adjust to this at say 15bb? Same question but this person has a more normal raising range vs limps? 7. Talk a little bit about double barreling, in general when is it good to do it and vs what type of opponents? That's all I could think of right now, gonna start posting lots of hands to :P.

"So first of you are playing a reg who has around 70% minra according to your HUD (we can assume he's a little bit tighter now because we are shallow) he minra from buttom 15bb deep, what ranges do you flatt // 3b ai?Same question but now we somehow know that our opponent minraises exactly 50% 15bb deep.

I would definitely jam any pair any ace (although flatting AA is often best), and then probably something like K2s+, K9o+, QTo+, and then any two suited cards where both are 5 or better, basically, as standard, and would flat a lot of the offsuit K5-K8, Q7-Q9, J7-JT, T7-T9, 97-98 type stuff. That's going to be a pretty decent range against an opponent that is still raising a healthy percentage. With your alterations, it means that we jam slightly less if we know it's more like 50%, and if he has a limping range carved out, it depends how much of it was stuff that was minraise/calling before, if it's all stuff that wasn't minraise/calling, then we should be flatting more often. It also helps to flat more often with 79s type hands because Q9o/J9o/J7o type hands are out of the range which would dominate it.

"You are playing rams85 (good reg) he's playing fairly standard from the big blind 3betting a little more than 20%, flatting some folding some. What hands do you minra/call, minra/fold and limp 20bb deep?"I'd minraise/call A7o+ A4s+ 44+ KJo+ KTs (openshove 22-33). I'd limp Q8-QJ, JT-J8, T9-T7, 98, 97s, 87s, those type of hands. I'd probably openfold the bottom 20% of hands and minraise/fold the rest."Same rams guy but now you are 12bb deep, what hands do you minra/fold, minra/call, limp and openshove?"I'd go pretty damn close to the recommondations I posted in this article.

mersenneary's picture
"Tell me a little bit about

"Tell me a little bit about limping 12bb deep, why against who and with what kind of hands?"Against everybody, basically. I think it's simply suboptimal to minraise/fold or to openjam a hand like J8o 12bb deep, and that limping easily has the best expectation. Obviously, some opponents are crazy aggro against limps, but in general, most people aren't. Basically it's hands that aren't strong enough to openjam or minraise/call, but are strong and play well enough postflop.

"We talked a little bit about flatting and that I didn't flatt with enough hands, what range would you flatt vs a 70% open raiser 25bb,  20bb, 18bb deep? And would that range change alot if we played against a 50%,60% or 80% minraiser?"I think vs 60-80% minraiser it's going to be pretty close to the recommendations I posted in this article. Once you get down to 50% and below, weaker kings and queens need to be folded, as well as other marginal high card/low card type hands that are dominated much more frequently and have significantly less high card power vs the button's range. My flatting range doesn't change that much 25bb deep vs 18bb deep when it comes to flat or fold decisions, only minor differences.

"Some flops and rivers you

"Some flops and rivers you tought it was best to bet only 30-40% of potsize can you elaborate a little bit about why and when you think that's best?"Two things. One, sometimes that's all you need to accomplish what you want to accomplish for value, and two, sometimes that's all you need to accomplish what you want to accomplish for bluff. For example, when you hit top pair in a 3bet pot with not that much behind, a small cbet is all that's necessary to get the stacks in. It also happens to be all that's necessary to fold out your opponent's trash when you have air.

"1. You are playing a person

"1. You are playing a person who flatt with 52% of hands 3b 13% and folds the rest, he's not terrible postflop and probably not super aggresiv vs limps but you don't know that for a fact. How do you play from the SB, what hands do you minra // limp at 20-25bb 15-20bb 11-15bb?" With the small 3bet percentage, I'm not bothering with that much of a limping range 18-25bb deep, and am pretty much just taking my ranges above but minraising all that middling stuff as well. Once you get down to 11-17bb, I'd start limping a lot of that stuff, as I would expect his 3bet jamming frequency to expand as most people's will. Given that he's playing 65% of hands from the BB I would tighten up my opening range a bit and probably fold the bottom 30% instead of just the bottom 20%.

Ofcourse I understand it depends on the hand and the board but just a little bit of theory about adjusting to super frequent Check raisers would be dearly appreciated."Interesting opponent. His VPIP means that we should be raising a lot pre, but his over-aggroness on the flop suggests that we should tighten up our opening range and go to valuetown. I'd check back more often on the flop and bet/3bet lighter, for sure. The more air in his range means the wider you should be jamming over c/r with your draws. But given that he's not playing that many hands OOP, a lot of his c/rs will be with two overs, which is something to keep in mind. In general I'd be jamming over c/rs more often than flatting them to this frequency.

"3. I have noticed a new trend among players to cbet 30 into 80 pots instead of 40, talk a little bit about how I should adjust and the pros and cons of me starting to do this myself? On what boards does people do this and on what boards should they be doing this and that stuff?"I expect this trend to catch on, it's really annoying and can be tough to deal with. You have to contest against it more, be it with more c/r or floats. Definitely try to latch on to whether he's doing this with specific types of hands, or with his entire range. It's really useful with Ax/Kx on dry boards and with top pair when that's all that's necessary to start getting the stacks in. Go after his normal sized c-bets on dry boards if he's not doing it with his entire range.

 4. You are playing a winning reg who 3bets to t90 and that stuff with a very big 3bet procent, say about 35%, how should I adjust in regards to what hands to limp, minra and 4b shove?Jam any ace, any pair. Tighten up your opening range preflop, have a lot less junk in it (just openfold) until he adjusts to that. It's a good strategy against a 100% minraiser, a terrible strategy against a 55% minraiser. Those are the biggest two adjustments.

  "5. So playing 20-25bb

 "5. So playing 20-25bb 15-20bb 11-15bb obviously differs alot, what should I think about in regards to hands to flatt with at diffrent stack depths? What type of hands is good to flatt at for example 13bb vs at 20bb, pretty wide question but I'm more thinking about how the equity of hands goes up and down in regard to stack sizes."So the general rule obviously is to flat whenever the expectation from flatting is better than from folding or from jamming when you have a marginal hand. As the stack size gets shorter, the expectation from flatting gets worse, and the expectation from jamming (tends to) go up. So you're getting squeezed on both ends, and that's why optimal flatting ranges get tighter as you get shorter. A hand like QTo, while previously a flat, should now be jammed. A hand like 96o, while previously a flat, should generally be folded.It depends a TON on your opponent's minraising range 13bb deep, whatever fold equity you have makes it great to jam a much wider range.

"6. So you are playing a person who 3bets 33% flatts 21% who loves to be aggresive vs limps with shoving and raising to 3bbs. How would you adjust to this at say 15bb? Same question but this person has a more normal raising range vs limps?"The biggest thing to realize is that against this opponent, you're doing phenomenally when you have hands and getting a ton of value. That's where you're getting the bulk of your profits. When you don't have hands, it's mostly just damage control.Against someone who is aggro vs limps, it depends how aggro, but some 96s type stuff you have to minraise/fold instead of trying to sneak in a limp. Basically the bottom of your limping range needs to be minraised.Against someone who has a more normal raising range vs limps, you can really go to town limping against this opponent and keeping your minraising range full of either junk or minraise/calling hands.

mersenneary's picture
"7. Talk a little bit about

"7. Talk a little bit about double barreling, in general when is it good to do it and vs what type of opponents?"Against opponents who check/raise their good hands on the flop, call c-bets wide, have a fold button, on boards where the turn card improves your perceived range and not theirs. That's the general gist."That's all I could think of right now, gonna start posting lots of hands to :P."BRING IT ON.

Good answers.

 ''Good questions - will respond in-depth tomorrow." OOPS! You have to remind me when I do this!!!''Ye I forgot about the questions as well so I forgive you. :P ''4.

So you are playing a person who 3bets 33% flatts 21% who loves to be aggresive vs limps with shoving and raising to 3bbs.How would you adjust to this at say 15bb?I have played alot vs players who actually are super aggro vs limps I'm talking raising close to 50%, ofcourse they adapt a little when they se me limp a big hand for once. But in general vs this sort of opponents do you start this whole guessing game where you start to mix in alot of big hands in your limping range? And if you do what kind of big hands are we talking about, problem is ofcourse that our minra range gets way worse and we desperately need big hands to counter his high 3bet %.  Today I played vs an opponent who flatts 60% 3bet 10%, only folding 27% to cbets cr around 30%, when you ch instead of cbetting he mostly attacks on turn but not always, how would you adjust to this both preflop and postflop?  Another fish i played, minra 85% from buttom exactly what range do you 3bet and what do you flatt? Same fish was pretty loose from big blind with 28% 3bet 55% flatt, what ranges do you limp and minra vs that? (Talking about 14-19bb and 19-25bb) Postflop question: When do you think it's good to float a cbet and then just donk out turn?

"Ok all other conditions is the same but to make matters more complicated he folds 49-50% preflop, that makes min raising profitable with trash so now what do you do? :P"Raise a good chunk of your trash. Don't feel bad when you get jammed on. Profit."I have played alot vs players who actually are super aggro vs limps I'm talking raising close to 50%, ofcourse they adapt a little when they se me limp a big hand for once.

And if you do what kind of big hands are we talking about, problem is ofcourse that our minra range gets way worse and we desperately need big hands to counter his high 3bet %."Definitely, if that's actually the case, it's silly not to start limping big hands, premium pairs and KQ/KJ/KT type stuff especially. Still, the main idea is that when you're against an overly aggro opponent, you're getting tons of value with your big hands, and are just doing damage control with the rest of your range."Today I played vs an opponent who flatts 60% 3bet 10%, only folding 27% to cbets cr around 30%, when you ch instead of cbetting he mostly attacks on turn but not always, how would you adjust to this both preflop and postflop? "Against this type of opponent you want to tighten up your playing range. You can consider limping and stabbing a lot with your 96o type stuff - People with this low of a 3bet % usually aren't very agressive against limps, and you can have a raising range preflop that's mostly stronger hands and a limping range that's mostly weaker hands, and it's fine. Postflop you can pass up on some more marginal c-bets, bet turn for value (and for bluff) more often because range is weaker."Another fish i played, minra 85% from buttom exactly what range do you 3bet and what do you flatt? Same fish was pretty loose from big blind with 28% 3bet 55% flatt, what ranges do you limp and minra vs that? (Talking about 14-19bb and 19-25bb)"14bb deep you should be jamming a super wide range basically, don't have stove where I am right now but T7o is going to be a jam, etc. 19-25bb deep you get to play the "is jamming better than flatting" game, in general stuff like T7o may now be a call but J3s is an easy jam.

I'm kinda interested how to think when I approach this sort of situations, in this particular hand I'm playing a person who flatts alot and CR's a little bit more than 25%.

Not sure if my preflop flatt is correct but damnit I did it. What do you think about just cr this flop kinda big with the rationale that I got two overs and a gutshot?

I find myself in alot of these spots where I flop MPGK on a draw heavy board. Say I Got Q9o  at T97 two suits and similair situations, when should I check back when should I bet and 3bet get it in and that sort of stuff?

Q8 hand: How wide it's good

Q8 hand: How wide it's good to flat against opponents who you know mostly have inducing minraising ranges 12bb deep is one of the biggest unsolved/unanswered questions in HUSNG endgame. I play it the same way you do, and I'd be folding Q7o to the opponent described, but I'm ready to believe I might be wrong on either count, it's 100% intuition based. I do suspect that your flatting range should pretty much all be stuff that flops well without extra reads about being able to exploit your opponent by donking flops, etc.99 hand: Definitely not fun. Given that you have some reads on your opponent my decision on turn would be based 100% on an estimation of the size of his balls. Some people would always give up here with their air. I think your line is probably best against most, but so many people will check Qx on this turn (or at least not make it half pot). So I'm torn. If we had TT I'd probably not c-bet this flop given that K or J (and mostly just a jack) are the only bad turn cards and we're unlikely to get much value except by checking. I definitely like the smaller c-bet size, though.With the J7, he only has 255 back, I would usually take your line as well. The problem is if we jam he really doesn't need that much equity and if we presuppose a strong range preflop I really think we're getting called a ton.

Over a 3x first hand 25bb

Over a 3x first hand 25bb deep, I'd...Jam: A7s+, A8o+, 22-993-bet/call: TT+, KQsFlat: K8o+, K5s+, Q9o+, Q7s+, J9o+, J7s+, T8o+, T7s+, and some tight suited connectors below that.

15-20bb deep it's just really

15-20bb deep it's just really hard for me to answer because we always have reads. We know what he's done on previous opens (I suppose if we won 5-10bb on the first hand...) I don't really have an answer because it's all based on frequencies at that point, even if it's just the third button.

The ranges do change but not

The ranges do change but not as much as you might think.Oh, and add A2s-A6s to the flatting range, and A5o-A7o, forgot those hands. I'm folding A2o-A4o.

Jamming over limps 12bb deep:

Jamming over limps 12bb deep: I agree middling offsuit hands are often great to check back because they play well postflop. Q4s is a great example of a light hand to jam - suited stuff with high card power in general is decent enough, plus king-rag, with the lowest kicker depending on limping frequency (there are some I'd jam over with K2o and some I'm checking behind K8o. As a default, I'd jam K5o over a limp 12bb deep).

K6 I'm getting it in and

K6 I'm getting it in and feeling pretty good about it, plenty enough worse 6x and worse pair+draw in opponent's range this short. Q9o on T97 with a suit I'm basically not c-betting it unless I'm c-bet/calling, and I'd be c-bet/calling if we're shorter and/or I hink my opponent will jam somewhat wide. 20bb deep I'm checking Q9 on that board as standard.

I decide to stab at turn not sure what I rep, the river brings a possible straight and I don't think he has it, should I bet and what size should I bet?

Is it a big diffrens compared to 12bb?

Anyways I don't really know what he is minra my limp with but I guess he is pretty strong. I like my flop call, should I just fold on turn?
