I'm really struggling to put into words what has been going on. I am losing an entire buy in roughly every 300 hands for the last 20k hands. By no means am I claiming to be a great player. But this is 5nl and I am mostly losing to fish/whales. All my value hands seem to get sucked out on the turn o

V is 29 / 16 / 5 over 149 hands.

Worried that my run bad has turned into play bad.

I was concerned if I called here V could hit 2p on the turn or make a set or straight. Normally I would just call here but I've just been getting killed on the turn over the past 20k hands or so.

On this flop I think V c

Normally I would just be calling a raise here but I have posted similar hands in the past and it seems like the overwhelming response is to reraise on the flop.

I wasn't sure how to play this OOP. I figured I am probably checking a monotone flop a ton (at least in theory). My betting range is probably something like flushes, sets, and the Ac. Wasn't sure about sizing or how often I should be trapping.

I'm playing 5NL and feel like I am doing well, not crushing but I certainly feel more competent then the player pool. I'm on a 10 BI down swing over the last couple thousand hands which sadly has brought my overall win rate down to -4 bb/100. I'm starting to question whether I am actually playing we

I'm working on improving my preflop ranges and realized I feel completely lost in these spots post flop.

V is 23 / 15 / 9 over 420 hands.

Using the 50NL ranges BTN vs. SB it looks like A9s is 50/50 raise/call.

This is a pretty good flop for me, but I am not loving it when V goes bet, bet. I feel like

V is 13 / 6 / 0 over 16 hands.

Is this turn jam ok? Not really sure how to play these hands.

How big would you go on this river? Also is the turn check fine or should I just be trying to play for stacks against Ax?

I considered folding pre because I really don't see many 4 bet bluffs at these stakes. As played I just don't know if I can fold given the odds.

V is 22 / 15 / 6 over 2k hands. Despite the reasonable stats I have them tagged as a rec with a note that they shoved 250bb over a 2.5bb open with AKs.

The small turn bet seems odd to me, like maybe V has a worse K.

Hey all, I am looking to learn some of the logic/mathematics that go into building preflop raise ranges.

Lets look at a scenario 6-max, 100bb effective. UTG vs. CO.

UTG opens around 18% of hands for 2.5bb.

CO responds with a linear 3 betting range, raising to 7.5bb, about 9% of the time.

How exactly is

V is 23 / 17 / 4 over 73 hands.

I think the low 3bet percentage convinced me to fold but maybe with just 73 hands I shouldn't make this assumption.

V is 32 / 22/ 8 over 2k hands.

Couple of questions.

With 2k hands against this V what are some other stats I should look at while in this hand?

Is this hand good enough to raise for value on the flop since I will have a ton of bluffs on this board.

I realize this will be a vague question but curious how wide our value range should be on the BTN after villain calls our flop c bet and checks turn checks river.

I know there are millions of board combos so let’s assume there is no flush and no paired board. Also let’s say I range bet flop.

So maybe

V is 25 / 19 / 11 over 466 hands

In game I wasn't sure if I should just call turn. This player was fairly tight so I didn't think V would lead AK twice. I chose to raise turn to set up a jam on the river.
