Yes, for sure.

Which winrate do you estimate at 50NL?

@@infosrelevantes7146 Well from experience 25NL on Gg is pretty soft like 10, so I’m assuming 50 can’t be that much of a step up.. but if you’re referring to 10NL compared to 50NL across all sites it’s probably less but can still be a decent win rate, it all depends on the exact Fish to Reg ratio in ur sessions.

@@infosrelevantes7146 Probably 4-5 not on GG and 5-10 on GG (but rake is bad)

@@irisbm1 thank you so much. What are you playing?

Those are some absurd assumptions

@@Johnny-cz2wv it's what I need to tell myself to justify calling!

I don't really understand donking 1/4 pot on a board which you would expect villain to c-bet at a high frequency, especially when you don't have a value hand to do it with? If you want to bluff, surely a x/r is stronger? If you're going for value, AQo is not the hand to do it with. Admittedly I have never thought too much about donking/building a donking range, but surely the hands to do it with from the BB on that board are hands like 54s, A4 and 66, with bluffs maybe being 57s and 78s?

probably had pocket eights, got to the river pretty darn cheap.

@@charleslenton3452 check raises commit a lot more money than donking third pot, the goal is probably to get cheap protection against all his air that checks back or block his air from putting too much pressure on his exact hand.

Hi, yes games in London are probably less soft than in US, but take is 5%, capped at £10 so it’s not awful. 2/5 runs every day, often there is a 5/10 as well, rarely bigger. I’d definitely prefer playing 2/5 in US but London is not terrible.

I found the AQ hand quite interesting, as well: First glance, our Range looked pretty mid-heavy, and capped, after donk Flop, C/C Turn. While, simultaneously, both the Ac and the 8c on Turn and River are great bluff cards for Villain, who might consider unloading with his entire Floating Range from the Flop into us. So, I assumed that AQ was quite close to the top end of our bluff-catching distribution. ( ahead of pocket pairs, 6x, weaker Ax) However: It is at least not implausible that we actually check-call with a majority of our Straight(75s) / Flush draws, plus of course 88, on the Turn; given how often the Ac hits Villain's range. While I still would strongly tend towards a Call against an aggressive and capable opponent, there is also at least that. And, do we, as you also imply, really Flop-donk with hands like KJcc? : " In theory, to justify our Hero fold, we can have a sufficient amount of better hands than AQ to call with; to avoid exploitable over-folding. " I guess !? - That A4s is blocked in its entirety is probably not that major asset for our hand: It is one combo, and Villain may or may not slow-play those trips after our Flop-donk .

Lol!

I would say yes - but obviously, I’m biased. There are chapters about rake considerations, variance, the interview with Pete, and a piece on mental health in poker and an interview with a poker hypnotherapist. All those are universally interesting. The boys about the actual London card rooms are less relevant for you.

@@andreaswagner1338 I appreciate the reply, and the input. and while you may be biased, you would know the answer. 😀I popped over to Amazon & ordered a copy. looking forward to reading it. thanks.

Thanks! If you have any questions, just get in touch.

@@andreaswagner1338 I'm hoping I won't have any "edits" 😀 I edit poker books as a (very minor) side gig. Mostly working w/ James "Splitsuit"Sweeney. that's hpw I first discovered Pete - he wrote the foreward for the 6-max workbook (well before I was working w/ James).

​@@ekw555 Ah cool! Splitsuit helped me a lot in the early days. He was the first coach I followed regularly on RU-vid, and I used to be active on the Red Chip Forum.
