for 3 days now i played with higer steal from BTN and SB; 2,5BB raise from BTN, trying to 3bet more from BB or call vs SB and raise good flops vs suitable for this play players, call more 3bets in position as i had before 70-75% fold to 3bet

here are my stats, 4 tables only as i try to think more lol:

changed BTN:

steal overall 35.5% now:

and i will probably start talking loudly to myself :O while in making decision process to make myself pu ppl on ranges t all the time and think consciously about every hand

some hands that were tough for me: ( i made stats visible in hands )

1) + Show Spoiler +

from PTR the guy is:
-18ptbb for 20k
44/31/58 16

but still not sure if i can call this, i mean there are maybe some draws he can play like this ( like JT, QJ, maybe J8; A-hi FDs, but first: im not sure he plays them like this, second: they stll have decent equity, third: so many hands beat me: AJ/KT/KQ/QT/J9/TT/QQ/KK and he surely can play them like this cause there are so many draws and he doesnt want to see turn with his hand that is now strong ) so i shpould prolly fold it and wait for a better spot with this guy

2) + Show Spoiler +

i thought he can maybe call with KX and he will fold turn on the diamond, not sure if i should continue on turn

3) + Show Spoiler +

it's a deep spot vs -7ptbb for 150k hands 3bettor and a reg, he leads weak, then checks so i decide to take a stab, i hope that reg called on flop cause he had either a draw like T9/56 maybe 99-TT and maybe some lower pairs like 66-55, when they both check on turn i assumed i can have a chance to take the pot, i guess reg can still have something and he decided to check - not to scare fish on the king

4) + Show Spoiler +

and here's a hand i dont know what im doing lol i should check turn or if i choose to bet i should fold to a raise lol i was prolly thinking that its so small i can call can maybe he can be bluffing or 'valuebetting' an ace ;o it's like i make a small bet cause i either wont win more on this or he has me and then when proven im beat i talk myself into calling cause it's a small amount, wtf :/

4.2) + Show Spoiler +

here's a rather simple spot, i think turn is a check vs an active player that wont prolly fold KX or AX after calling flop and it's like the worst he can have there

5) + Show Spoiler +

i thought he can have a draw at the time on the river, i have 17 hands on him and know only that he's a fish, so not sure if call is ok, maybe bet flop, tho i preferred to check and get value on turn from weak hands that won't call flop

6) + Show Spoiler +

he has 80% (5) cbet in 3bet pot, tho not sure if i can make a play here profitably

7) + Show Spoiler +

cbet is ok here? i mean there are not many draws there even vs 2 ppl ( one fish )

and couple older hands i looked through:

8) + Show Spoiler +

on turn i raise thinking he has a Q and makes a 'pot control' bet and on river if he checked i wanted to make 2/3 pot bet, this river raise is ok right?

9) + Show Spoiler +

against a 59/32/55 ( 37 hands ) it's an optimal play? i can wait for him to bet 3 streets but if he has like KJ and an ace comes or an 8/9 it will kill my action so it seems better to raise and wait for him to shove

10) + Show Spoiler +

maybe he was crazy, but 2x c/r doesnt scream flush draw :/

11) + Show Spoiler +

its a call right? tho he has very small aggression, he's too tight pf to have K7/K3, tho maybe it's nor totally excludable, some KX with high club? Ac7/Ac3?

1) Guy is a huge loser, definitely call this with so much invested. It's pretty bad to bet that much and fold to a shove. You have the odds to call this.

2) Nothing wrong with just give up this flop. Definitely don't barrel turn. If he didnt have it on flop already, then he has it now...

3) I would try to check it down...

4) Not sure what really happened in this hand.

5) Fold river

6) Either fold or 4-b

7) C/F flop

8) looks fine, maybe a bit thin on river (do you think he will call you with a Qx here?)

9) looks fine

10) no idea

11) thank him for being nice and showing his flush like this

I have same stats at FR

in hand 1,

his range:
aj,kq,j9s,kt,kj,qt,qj,jt,tt,8c9c

his equity: 50.06%, $30 dead money in there, folding is a big mistake.

So ya, you need to stack off here. In the future, don't pot it. Your standard cbet in 3bet pot should be 5.50-7 here.

Without making plays like you do (some which would classify as fps) you could easily have stats like 24/20/6 and play an easier style.

If you want to open more hands, open pp from all position (ofc don't if you have some shorstackers or big 3betters that will very likey raise you). Nothing wrong with flatting more hands (suited connectors, broadways, pp...) in position, some you raise with as your 3bet% is kinda high, and float a lot against weak players.

I like to reraise sometimes from sb or bb with low pp against btn or co who is likely to be stealing. He will fold a lot, and if he flats just cbet good board (almost all), and give up if he calls or folds (ofc if you don't hit).

Some pieces of advise which you may obviously already apply some, or don't want to play the same way.

sorry for shitty english.
