nice work.

"The one thing I did do that was a big BIG BIG mistake was invite my friends over to rail me. They were such faggots. Individually I'm sure they all would have been serious, but they came to rail me and ended up just being annoying and not helpful."




- forever alone.

The best thing for me around 50nl was when I upped my 3b % by 3-4% more.

It's quite easy (like everything else when you learn it).

When you want to 3b, look at the position where the guy is in, if he's a regular, you generally never want to do it when he's early. If he's late, and you're in the blinds, he's like co, or btn, do it with a polarized range. That means 80% real hands, and 20% AIR (notice that AJ, KT, so forth, have a lot of value, so you don't want to 3b those, rather call).

And each time it's someone really loose, or bad, someone you see as a fish, then 3b not only with your top hands, do it with your High cards in general, + top hands.

Hope that helps, oh and if you 3b with air, get called, Generally fire if an ace hits, or a Q maybe, don't fire if it's a King in general, that's SMACK in a tight guy's range, they usually have a K or a medium pair if they call on the btn and ur in the blinds and tried to steal with air.

Ok, that's it for now =p

Oh, and vs the "bad" people, you DON'T want to use a polarized range, only do it with legit hands, because they are "fish" and stations, so there's no need for balance, or stealing, just want value.

rofl yeah I probably came off as harsh there. I guess I just felt frustrated at the end because my friends said they were "rooting" for me, but really, they just distracted me, were loud and only chimed in when I was all in to say "ohhhhhh dude why did you do that?!" or some stupid bs. :/. I love my friends, I guess I'm just more upset at not being able to make a deeper run.

Also, thanks Jolin and Marius. I'll think about that stuff. Still working on getting better. ^^

Marius when you say 3bet more, do you mean generally in all positions? Or just from the blinds? Where do you 3bet light from?

solid NL 5 winner. GL at NL 10 its tougher and you'll run into set over set coolers a lot more.

don't change automatically change ur play whenever you sit at a nl10 table, its still the same game of poker.

you should be looking to 3bet more in position than out (so 3bet from btn and CO vs loose CO/MP openers)

ur nl5 graph is very nice

i'd say prob 3bet from the sb more(if ever you should feel like 3betting oop) since it looks so strong (polarize with aa/kk/ak and scs blah blah since ul be playing at the worst position postflop)
anything else id say 3bet a lot more ip and mostly 3bet oop for value or sometimes , very rarely for some of the mentioned above

also 3bet from bb/sb from very loose c/o button opens who fold very frequently to 3bets - vs these guys cards dont even matter that much.

just play same game man
you look like you're doing great

If it's a rly bad guy (1 table, loose vip). I 3b from anywhere, or isolate.

Vs regulars, I generally don't 3b them when they utg and utg +1

If im btn and they are bad, I 3b high cards vs bad ppl as well, if they regular, I call with hands like KQ AQ AJ instead, because virtually every good regular at 50nl to 200nl, they won't call 3b out of position, they will fold or 4b, and when they fold, it's a stubborn medium pair or a K. And you have to find out if you can double barrel get them off if they call, or if they call, hope to spike and fold to C bet.

In the blinds, and it's a reg/tight guy, i usually look at their steal %, if it's over their VIP, it means they open a lot wider in late position, so then I 3b more with air vs them, and if it's BAD people at the table, I show the hand each time, because they don't get it, they just see me re raising with crap, so when I do it to them, they love to keep calling. (But vs them you never do it with air)

Something like that is my thinking on 3betting
