Table starting at PLO200. FLOP: First of all solver often XB these kinda boards, but since people dont XR nearly as much as they should i think we can get away by over cbetting. TURN: My usual size for turn when the nuts dosent change as we just saw a call on the flop is to pot. Would obv not be super happy if got XR but can easily call and evaluate river. River: Now for the sake of the post. We heavyli block the folds, but will never win if we XB. How would you guys approach this river, and what is your thoughts. I think going something like b10 to simply fold out similar hands + random board pair might be the better option if we decide to bet. A similar hand in the solver XB 29%, b50 15% and pot 56%. Not sure i like the pot option in this line.

Here's the situation: I RFI the Button with KJ776 Double-Suited and call a 3Bet from the Auto-Straddle (Opponent has loose preflop stats but we don't have too many post flop reads yet) We go to a flop at an SPR of 2 Flop comes T76 Rainbow and Opponent Checks to me. I make it half-pot with Middle Set and Call when Opponent goes all in. I still like betting the flop, and I don't think I can fold to the jam afterwards. I wouldn't mind some second opinions though :) Opponent ended up having Top Set

Hello guys, i'm Alison (yes, in my country it's a masculine name), 35 years old and i'm brazilian. My introduction will be a bit long, so don't mind skipping if you feel like it. In despair was kind of a stretch, but poker is not something i really enjoy even though i can make consistent money - enough to live and get by, but not to retire (ever). I play poker because i can't find a job that would pay better, at least not anymore since i moved to Europe. PLO is the only type i can still find bearable(4 cards only), since NLHE became sleeping material. Poker in my mind was better when it was romanticized, played by the 'badass' guys in a bar stool with a pistol on you - not that you'd shoot it, but it was fun and psychological, that is what i wish i could play still. Today i play automatically, i know what i should do 90% of the times i have to make a decision and that is - very likely - the reason my enjoyment went away. At times, specially in the past, i would get in absolute rage while playing the game for it was unfair for me to play correctly and lose a single hand even, and i worked on it for years with no result, even though i was always a calm person before playing poker. I asked myself: what is it that changed since i started playing poker? The answer was pathetically easy (all i had to do was ask before): i stopped reading literature [so i could read poker only]. You might wonder, how the hell would literature help you with patience? Well, one can read the russians, the germans or the french and have epiphanies after epiphanies with the meaninglesness of your thoughts when it comes to external effects. Of course they are everything for yourself, but they can't possibly change the physical realities - which is what poker is, really. A simple example: reading The Idiot would bring me into a state of mind of pure indifference for others judgement as long as i know what i'm doing is virtuous and integral. Or reading Life and Faith, on the usual tragedy of life. These things, although might seem irrelevant, are the one and only things that bring me peace of mind, and today i consider them essential for my poker success (if you want to call it successful).

UTG is loose aggressive with a high c-bet%, but doesn't barrel very often. Would this hand be a good candidate to widen our 3-bet range vs a wider than normal UTG range? On the flop, UTG cb33, I call. Turn x, x. What do you think about betting turn and/or river?

BTN is an aggressive reg with a wide opening range. Do we like to db, x/c or x/r?
