This is a hand from late-ish in the $455 Hi5 Main Event. I have about 150 hands on most of the players at my table, and mostly traded chips around while waiting for spots with the slightly weaker players at my table. I had sharkscope up and had everyones stats as I played. I paid $12 for what ultimately could have been worth several hundred in a few spots. Highly recommend it for the higher stakes stuff to buy some searches.

 

The villain in this game is up about $9k over 50 games, all high stakes, with a 3rd place finish in the $215 Sunday major, as well as a deep finish in a series event. I don’t recall his stats, but he was relatively short stacked most of the time he was at my table (the last 60 hands), so I decided to make loose reads on his play based more on his results than his 60 hands.

I am likely perceived as a weak player. I’ve been a losing player for a while and my abi is like $20. Did villain fold QQ/KK?

Better yet, does villain play AxQd this way? That’s kind of what I was thinking and I thought about it for a good 15 seconds before piling. My plan was to shove all diamonds.

Hey, well few things a would mention in this hand.

1) You usually don’t wanna be leading the turns where the middle pair pairs, especially in this hand the CO Range will have a bunch of Tx thats probably will not be cbeting the flop, so on the turn when you lead there is a high chance that you will face the shove.

2) You are defending the 65o in this spot which is completely fine, but if you start bluffing your whole range against your opponents line, you are really overbluffing, and you are doing it here with complete air. So slow down with those, sometimes you just have to have giveups, especially on the board like this.

He might play every single AQ/AJ combos this way 88/99/JJ/QQ hands like that.

In terms of you being at the bottom of your range this isn’t the worse bluff, but considering the board, opponents stack debt and his line, this bluff success rate I imagine will be pretty low, so I would suggest not overbluff here.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

  Thanks, Merfinis. I did not like this hand when I reviewed later. I think I was getting scared, which ordinarily causes me to play with more button clicks and less brain ticks. You are right about paired boards. I should really know that by now. Thank you for your comment on over-bluffing. This was too much and is insanely exploitable, especially for something that represents such a huge chunk of my poker time. I need to get out of short stack play and just finally make the switch to studying and playing cash.
