Session Review

Loved that session there, felt like 2009 again with me basically trying to think of creative ways to win every pot, and also actually thinking about my value hands beyond bet big or check raise or bet small in really obvious spots. What can initially seem obvious changes dramatically once you start to factor in timing tells, PSR, betsize in relation to the PSR, and most crucially what our opponent perceives.

http://weaktight.com/6729108 - cool hand VS a 6% UTG opener, leading into a reg with a fish behind is often decent, and allows us to rep a really wide range including depolarized protection/ value. He just has to give us credit for 6x and 4x.

http://weaktight.com/6728743 - river, if we just bet a normal amount we probably just get a fold or a rare call. VS better regs though, we really need to get in their head and rep the opposite of the actual strength of our hand. Even the river 3bet size took some thinking about, tempting to go min or bigger than 100, but he's only going to perceive a bluff if we go like exactly this size, too big squarely reps value (no-one has the heart) and too small we're desperate for a call.

http://weaktight.com/6729114 - think this is decent cool at 1-2 at the moment. Every man and his dog is cold 4betting, but no-one yet really doing the cold 5bet, or even jamming light in SB's shoes which he should do decently often with hands like JTs.

http://weaktight.com/6729120 - kinda cool 'cos with a bit of thinking you realise that his cc turn/ cf river range is completely non-existent. Similarly in his shoes, he should realise my bet turn range (with this size) check river range is similarly non-existent, and so probably fold QQ on the turn. River is not a shove I would make when not playing well, 'cos when you see poker too simplistically it just seems like a big pot and a not-great hand, but I really didn't think AQ AK would cbet this flop, and would also always carry on betting AT.
