Hey all, really excited to be involved in this Fasttrack program and I hope to learn a lot and really grow as a poker player and human being. I am 32 years old and have been playing poker for about 6 years. I only started playing seriously as of March 2010 and as of August 22 this year I quit my job as a Warehouse Manager to pursue poker fulltime. I have previously worked with Brokerstar, Kierkegaard and Cog dissonance. I have done pretty decent as a poker player but have encountered some pretty bad variance playing hypers as well as playing a little too aggressively and tilting a bit. Really looking forward to reading everything in the forum, working with Hokie, Mers and everyone else. Run good!! On a side note I have been marking hands for review in Poker Tracker 3 and I am not sure how to actually find them so I can convert. I can find all my hands that I have reviewed by running a custom report and using the flg_note filter but all I do is get reports not the actual hand history itself so that doesnt really help me. Dont really feel like going through my processed files in pt3 and manually trying to find them. Does anybody know a good, efficient way of doing this? Thanks.
welcome to the forum. <3 kierkegaardi really am not familiar with pt3 at all, but i'm sure someone else here will be - or just look in PT3's help forums they are really useful from what i hear. i just got a Mac and am running pt3 now, so im going to have to be figuring it out in the next few days as well.good luck
This guy is a -30%roi fish. Not too many reads. He opened all buttons. Although it was small sample(game only lasted 10 hands.) Not sure if I should have called a full pot lead on the flop. 60 on turn looks pretty weak probably a draw or 5x so i decide to call. River is pretty bad.

Not 100% sure as this was a while ago but I believe he pretty much bet full pot as a standard. I think if he bets 1/2 pot I just call and reevaluate but with the full pot bet I felt I either had to shove or fold?

No reads. Not exactly sure why I did this. Is it spewy? I can only surmise that I did it because he misses this board a lot. Against a reg I would never do this because I expect him to call with even a decent ace but this guy is far from a reg.
34: i'm folding flop. lots of problems with flatting: stacks are short and we dont have room to flat big turn leads. we don't know how often he bets turn (imo, a potsize bet is followed by another decent bet from fish a lot). a minraising range over a limp is going to contain a good amount of AX combos, which is going to make our A outs pretty dirty. a full pot leading range is also going to contain a good amount of flush draw combos as well, making our A/6 outs even worse off. i'd call t50, but it's actually a pretty gross board for your hand.J6s: if he has opened 100% of buttons so far, i would DEFINITELY be 3bet shoving J6s 12bb deep.as played, i would definitely c/f flop. you really aren't doing very well against the typical full pot cbetting range on this connected of a board. J9: mehhhhhhi think 'rules' in poker are awful, but here's one you can use: Don't bluff fish postflop when they 3bet you pre. They don't fold enough.Remember why you flatted pre: because calling is better than folding bc u realize your equity often enough vs the average fish's 3betting range at this stack depth. also because he is a fishbowl and will stack off epic light postflop most likely, so your chances of getting paid off when hitting anything reasonable are high. you didn't flat bc clicking back cbets was +ev.

I feel like if I check here I am gonna get barreled all day long(by agro fish, and good players). If I bet I am susceptible to being raised off the best hand by draws. Now lets say the flop is k73r I would check and then call turn lead depending on sizing and re eval river. But these boards, especially against a decent thinking player suck If i dont bet because my range is obv capped. Can you give me some criteria for when you bet 3rd pair(or even 2nd), why you bet, why you dont bet etc?
I prefer betting bottom pair readless on most board textures. Yes, it's an awkward spot, but remember - pairs are hard to make! :) The times when things get awkward are the ones that stick out in your head, but when you c-bet and get a fold or c-bet and check it down against ace high/a draw you quickly forget those.One thing you can do is make a smaller c-bet against fairly tight opponents. That accomplishes everything you want to accomplish with a bet.Things that affect whether or not to c-bet 2nd/3rd pair: Flop check/raising frequency, what I expect my opponent to do on the turn if I check, how many overcards/bad cards there are to my second/third pair (less likely to c-bet on a KQ8 with Q2, for example), draws on flop, etc. You should be more likely to c-bet the K73r - All in all, people don't check/raise as much as it might seem, especially without equity. That especially is a really good board to just make it t30 though, because there arent' so many random overcard type hands to float.
Really good stuff here!Need to make this my quote of the week:" Remember why you flatted pre: because calling is better than folding bc u realize your equity often enough vs the average fish's 3betting range at this stack depth. also because he is a fishbowl and will stack off epic light postflop most likely, so your chances of getting paid off when hitting anything reasonable are high. you didn't flat bc clicking back cbets was +ev." I always do crazy shit postflop and I haven't learn yet :SBut now when I see it with "real" words it seems so much easier. Needed to hear this to:"people don't check/raise as much as it might seem, especially without equity. "Im often paranoid that villain is cr me light on this board because it so dry. ( But it looks like many players doesnt care if it is dry, they cr TP+ anyway)
