  1. I think the villain will actually win vs 90% of the people who commented here. I don't think neither the players played it bad. Just a cooler for the villain as he made the image of being aggressive i think that's top of his range and a fine thin value 130bb deep.

  2. If I had flopped the set of 6's the river would have been the 5 of hearts. This game loves to torment me in these spots by bringing unrelenting scare cards and runner runners. In this scenario, before the villains hole cards were revealed, I figured he had AK with at least 1 heart. How much harder would it be for the hero to call that jam if the river was indeed the 5 of hearts? At that point, 33, 77, 88, AKh, KQh, QJh, J10h, 89h all manhandle you. Ultimately, that's not a lot of combos so I think I might have to call with middle set. Then my opponent would flip AKh and I would be really sad.

  3. Dude. This is sick information. I’ve been playing magic the gathering for like a year and for whatever reason finally discovered poker this past weekend.

    Any tips for a beginner? I love deep analysis and theories and anything that overcomplicates life hahaha.

  4. On the turn he needs to raise too many draws and a lot of cards that can change the dynamic of the board. Also the river 90% of the time goes check check. Bet your own hand my moto for the most part.

  5. what is the idea of checking vs check/ raising the turn? Like, if you choose to do one over the other, you're likely committing to that one line and neglecting the other right? Benefits for check-raising include being able to fold out a wide range's equity on the turn, being able to capitalize on draws' equities on the turn while ensuring you don't miss the river bet with your sets when a sticky villain has a hand like AK, and in general allow you to play 55, 89s, and any weak heart draws with confidence instead of having to suss out bluff catchers.

    The benefits for calling I can see include being a more passive line so that it is easier to represent your calling range in the blinds (I'm not too sure what my calling range would actually look like for instance, as I'd mainly be looking to 3-Bet or fold depending on the rake), you get to bait these types of hands as well as bluffs and you're life is easy when the draws miss (you fold the draws, call the sets), and you defend your draw hands to be able to hit on the river and snap off some big pots with the implied odds. The problem I see with the more passive approach though is that there is a lot more that could go wrong, you give your opponent the extra card with the range and positional advantages, you give them the chance to check down, you don't get the possibility of them jamming on the turn, and ultimately you have to decide what to call on the river, which by my understanding is a little harder than figuring what to jam with and on what rivers…

  6. Why would you expect either of them to hit that flop, nonetheless a raise from the dealer who 5x’d the BB? It doesn’t seem like there would be very many hands in his range that could hit that flop?
