Pot = 7.5BB, stack left = 97BB. SPR = 13. If we get all-in on the flop with AA, KK we are risking 13BB to win 1BB. Very poor risk to reward ratio!

And so, to keep yourself from going crazy you have to focus on the one thing you shouldn't have to wonder about: that you made the right decision based on the information you had (poker being a game of limited information). "Correct play" doesn't always mean "desired result".Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957087543515626706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-26935496288627287702019-03-15T21:05:08.974+07:002019-03-15T21:05:08.974+07:00Looked at my stats in PT4 like Called Turn raise w...Looked at my stats in PT4 like Called Turn raise with 1 pair, Called Turn shove with FD, Called Turn shove with 1 pair, Called Turn shove with straight draw, Called River raise with 1 pair, and Called River shove with one pair.

It has come to my conclusion that a lot of people has stopped rasing the flop and the turn with sets. They just call the flop, call the river then ship it on the turn.. If I bet 2/3 pot on each street it is very hard to get away beacuse of all the money I have put in.
