1/3 NLHE 8 handed.

Table is loose passive at this point.

V1 - Whale that everyone is targeting, drives the action. Buys in for the max VPIPing 98% (leaves for a smoke here and there) and just calls off with any draw any pair anything. Can show up at the river with all the 2-pair, any random straight that makes no sense, any BDFD etc etc. He will also bluff sometimes. CO. ~1k.

HH - Folds to H in SB who opens K2ss, V calls BB, HU to 8-4-2 one ♠,

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

Table has a mix of nits, loose passives and one LAG that just sat down.

V1 - Lag kid. Plays pretty good. Plays up and plays in some big home games. Has played WSOP. I would guess he does very well at 1/3 and he for sure takes the game seriously. I don't have many hours with him as he usually gets off my table but one thing I've noticed is he overvalues hands post flop, especially at this level where betting ranges for large

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

Table is loose and gambly, great game.

V - Best player to have at the table. Plays 2/5 as well. Just puts money in with anything. VPIP close to 100%. Chases any draw no matter the odds. Mostly passive but will bluff at it when checked to. His stack yo-yos and can get super deep (~3k+) when he drills oil. Covers. HJ.

HH w/ V. V opens MP, TAG calls CO, Hero 3-bets with ATs from BTN, both call. Flop Ts-3c-2h, x x H cbet 2/3rds

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

Table is mostly loose passive with a few tighter players in the mix, a couple nits.

V - Splashy fish I've never seen before. Never stops talking and I forgot to bring earphones. He's run a bit of a heater and is up. VPIP about 70% usually just calling pre. Back-raised 3-bet with AJs one hand pre from UTG. Seems to just be clicking buttons. Bet T9o into OOP into 4 people on a A-K-Q flop and spiked a J OTT and nailed someone

5/5 NLHE 4 handed (yes)

Table - about to break, everyone is down, Banana the least, only 100 or so. We're playing auf schweiz and the game is super passive and sticky but we're not getting many hands. Everyone wants to make something happen and opens have been unusually large in general (30-60 CHF over 5 BB) and even larger in the last two orbits (70-100 CHF).

Banana - Has 915 CHF from his 1k BI. Has the nittiest image at the table by far. B

5/5 NLHE, 6 handed

Table - Banana is on the move and has hit Switzerland. Table is a late night game at the local big casino, only table running on a Monday night, game will break in a couple hours as casino closes. Table is loose passive and very sticky with a few different tendencies between players. Min/max is 250 CHF/1500 CHF and everyone has around 1k CHF. We bought in for 1k and had AKo first hand and scooped a nice pot preflop to win

1/3 NLHE 8 handed.

V - only competent player at the table. A beginnerish TAG. He's probably 0-3BB/hr player. He tilts sometimes but early in his sessions plays well. This session he's trapped IP twice with thick value and been paid off once. He's overly face up and gives off a lot of physical tells. Covers. MP.

HH - V straddles BTN, SB BB fold, UTG straightforward loose passive opens 25, folds back to V who asks to see UTGs stack then calls.

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

Table is 1am on a Saturday night. The game sucks, two asian rocks sat down on my left and everyone is nit peddling. Stacks are 200-500. No one is 3-betting ever. People are limp calling with AK, JJ and so on. Why am I even here vibes.

V - one of the aforementioned nit/rocks. He's not a total nit but he's very snug. He wins at 1/3, not sure about 2/5. He's probably a 5 BB/hr player. He's not creative enough and plays too ABC

1/3 NLHE 8 handed

Native casino I've never been to. Hustling and bustling on a Tuesday night. Table is the softest I've seen in ages. Everyone but V is loose passive and sticky. A minclick pre is QQ minimum. People are calling off half their stack with J9o on flops like J-7-7 because "even if I'm behind I can hit a straight".

V - only remotely non-drooler. Playing TAG and very ABC up to this hand but not really good TAG, bluffing into statio

What are some of your lowkey ways to try and tilt people at your local game? I get bored sometimes and look for things to say like "I put you in Ace King" but I need new material.

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

Table has been very loose passive with some tight people. One TAG on my immediate left.

V1 - old white man that bleeds down until he thinks he's ahead and then bets like his chips are diseased. Pot - 2x Pot. But overvalues hands. Bet AKo on a AQJ99 board for 3 streets against two people OOP and won at showdown. Up a lot. Covers.

V2 - asian man, loose passive pre, semi aggressive post. Bets all his draws and check calls weak

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

V - Never seen him before. Old asian man. Has been limp calling pre about 50% of hands and limp folding pre the other 50%. Haven't seen any showdowns. Haven't seen him raise or open once. About 1-2 hours together at this point. CO. 315$.

V opens 20 when folded to (normal for the table would be 10-15), folds to Hero in BB who sees J♠ J♦ and decides to just call and see where this is going.

Flop 40 - A♠ 9♠ 4♦

I check, V bets 30,

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

Just moved to a new table and I don't know a single person at this table but it seems like your typical loose passive game at first glance.

V - Some MAWG I've never seen and know nothing about. 525$. BTN.

I cover the 550 from HJ.

V straddles BTN 6, folds to UTG who limps, folds to H in HJ who makes it 25 with A♣ Q♠, CO calls, V calls, limper calls. 4 ways 2nd to act.

Flop 100 - A♦ J♥ 6♣

UTG x, I x, CO x, V bets 50, UTG folds, I x

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

Table - awful boring loose passive limpfest. Every hand going 6 ways. Even 20$ pre only getting it about 4 ways. One 3-bet every 2 hours or so.

V1 - fat loose passive man. Losing player. Limps and calls a lot pre, cold calls 3-bets. Not the biggest station but about 50% VPIP. 415$ BB.

V2 - Mostly irrelevant, loose passive pre, fit-or-fold post. Covers. CO.

I have about 700$ in the HJ.

Folds to H who sees 9♦ 6♦ and opens HJ to

2/5 NLHE 7 handed.

Hand 1:

V1 - Maniac whale. Opening 25-50$ cold with A-rag. VPIPing close to 100%. Has shown up at the river with everything from 77 to K2o. Check calls with any pair post, leads and plays for stacks with what he considers big hands (TP2K+). Covers HJ.

H - 750$ BTN.

UTG straddles 10, one limp EP, V1 to 40 in HJ, Hero raises Q♠ Q♣ to 125, only V calls. HU IP.

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

V - Competent TAG. Winning player but button clicks sometimes. Plays almost full time. He's good and understands a lot but I think he just gets bored of the grind sometimes and tries to make silly moves. He's perfectly capable of reading the board, understanding odds and so on. 500$ UTG.

H - Not sure how V views me. I've had several hundred hours with him and he's seen me 3-bet everything from AA to 45s. Covers. BTN.

He's been folding at our table for two hours now and has opened only a few hands, he opened CO over an LPs limp once and I 3B Btn and he folded showing 96s so he can get creative. He's called a few times and 3B once but shown very little. UTG 500$.

V - Older asian losing player. He is loose passive pre and straightforward post. I dont remember how sticky he is postflop. Covers. HJ.

V - Asian rock. Not a complete NIT but a winning tight aggressive rock. VPIP/PFR/3b of about 13/10/2. Sometimes limps pre with big MW drawing hands like QJs but almost always coming in for a 3-bet. His 4-betting range is super nutted. His 3-betting range is very tight but has some KJs or 99 depending on his position. He has a check/raising range and can bluff post-flop and can trap. One leak I've noticed this session is he

1/3 NLHE 9 handed.

V - Winning TAG grinder who gets bored and clicks buttons occaisionally. Sometimes he tilts and gets a bit steamed and borders on spew but he's a good overall winning player with a well rounded game. He's no wizard though. 450$ BTN.

H - Not sure what V thinks of me. I think he thinks I'm a bit tight especially when deeper. I've been a bit card dead at this table and people have said stuff out loud when I open like "wow the

2/5 NLHE 8 handed.

Table is unusually short stacked and a lot of 1/3 players are trying their luck.

V1 - Loose passive player playing up from 1/3. 500$. BB.

V2 - TAG/LAG winning player. Plays as high as 10/20 live. I've seen his graph and he's crushing 1/3. Not sure about 2/5 but at this table he's probably the best player. He knows all the usual strategy and can bluff, read the board, x/r light etc etc. That said, he levels himself. He comes

I have six or seven asians in my room that all know each other and play together frequently. They all have the same style with a few caveats here and there. Because this isn't a very big room I can't always be changing tables or avoiding them and so I'd like advice on how to play against them. One of the good TAGs in my room says 'just change tables' but, like I said, this isn't always an option.

They play like this:

- VPIP/PFR of about 10/9,

1/3 or 2/5 cash full-ring. Stacks are all 75BBs-300BBs (obviously V's particular stack size affects this). Let's simplify by saying everyone is 100BBs, 9 handed, all 3-bets are reasonable 3x-4x sizing.

Give me your calling range for:

1. You open UTG and UTG+1 3-bets you.

2. You open CO and BTN 3-bets you.

2/5 NLHE 8 handed

V1 - Loose passive, same as the average 1/3 player. 240$. BTN.

V2 - Massive whale. Buys in for the max and just clicks buttons. All the good regs are just trying to get into a hand with him. Covers. BB.

H - Has tight or weak tight image to good regs at this table and V1 and V2 have no clue. H just rebought after calling V1 river x/r jam on a 9d-7h-5h-Th-9h with AhJd when V1 OOP x x x x all the way down to the river and H went
