Reviewing your play

How to calc equity needed to call

In Equilab, determine villian's range based on what you know about him and the street you are on. (Also include what reasonable bluffs he may have)
Put in your hole cards and the board.
Run the calc and see what your equity in the hand is. Say it has 25% equity.
Equity needed = Amount to call/(Pot size + Amount to call)

Example:

You take the current pot 125k (add in your bet as well) 25k
150k pot + his call makes 400k pot total
You have to call 125k, and divide that by the total winning 400k to see the percent you have to win to make the call break even

How to use flopzilla for hand analysis and ranges Need to figure out how to do this.

Major Leaks to plug

If your bluff have not worked, and you have put alot of chips into the pot, need to learn how to cut loses and not bluff even more.

I feel like I have worked on this alot and do not punt with crazy bluffs as much. I feel I have a better understading of knowing when someone will look me up or not. I need to continue to work on bluffing and finding spots with the extra knowledge of blockers.

Make more snug folds when it is fairly obvious you are beat. A with AK against two pair or trips is a huge leak.

Still working on this and have folded snuggly a couple times. As of now I still feel alot of players at the micro level are running crazy bluffs which sometimes make me call them down with are marginal hand and they were actually value betting.

A new leak is not giving people's checks enough weight, or in other words, not respectring some players strong checking range. I will view all checks as weakness and as my green light to push them off, but it seems alot of players at this level LOVE to bet when they dont have anything and check when they have the nuts. It is backwards, and they think they are trapping but they are just missing value. Make sure these players actually DO miss their value and you do not pay them off with bluffs. Keep notes on players and use hand ranges to determine the probability of a strong check range.

Trusting my instincts Preflop QQ with a huge 3x bet, I knew he had KK or AA with that type of sizing, but reshoved all in, and he turned up AA. In this case, its not that horrible of a play, but you had a strong feeling of strength and should have trusted it.

REMINDERS

DO NOT SHOVE TOURNEY EARLY WITHOUT THE NUTS - YOLO, but the opposite, you literally have one life when no rebuys
DO NOT OVER BLUFF .. if you attempt to push someone off their hand and they call your turn bet, and especially when the bet into you on river, fold and CUT YOUR LOSSES INSTEAD LOSE EVEN MORE
Do not limp 95% of the time, either raise or fold, limp folding is dumb, limp calling a raise is even dumber. Research when it is ok to limp. Family limped pot with small pairs and 6 players seems fine to limp along with them.
Having a small stack is better than no stack, and it is easy to make a huge comeback with only 10BB
Tight is Right
Be Aggressive Be a lion not a mouse.
Have the best hand or best draw. If you have neither, fold in a multiway pot. Everytime I read this I never like it. Not sure who said it but its way oversimplifying poker
Most players will not hit the flop, use common sense and bet no matter what you have. CB 80% - Not sure about this. Research normal CBET rates. And if people say you should be Cbetting half of the time? Which half and why.
Make sure to bet raises when blinds and antes get high, you should try to to steal blinds 3/4 orbits to not get eaten alive. 3 out of 4 orbits? seems high and exploitable. Maybe at the lower ranks you can pull this off. Research blind stealing when antes are in play
Always pay attention to the bubble, use this time to steal and apply pressure with a larger stack
Do not draw to the 2nd best hand, do not chase a straight when a flush is showing, do not chase a flush will the board is pair and in opponents range. I meaaaan... it makes sense, but need to researhc this idea more, I feel you shouldnt be chasing draws at any rate.. but instead using them as bluffs and adding fold equiy to your draws, or move to the next hand
You are not folding, you are not being weak, you are simply cutting losses and moving on to the next hand. This is a sign of strength of mind and is a PROFFITABLE play.
know what is in the pot at all times so you can correctly knows your odds
Imagine that your coach or backer is looking over your shoulder and evaluating your play. imagine that you are participating in an event that will be shown on television with professional commentators critiquing your play
