A few bone-headed or run-bad hands... 6-max ($0.10/$0.25) (1 Viewer)

I'm in the middle of a up-n-down week and wanted some feedback on a couple of hands. I ran the first one through GTOWizard and while I made some mistakes, it doesn't look like they were awful. I don't have a paid plan so wasn't able to run the second one:

2nd hand looks fine aside from the 3b sizing being small. 2.75x is more of a 4b sizing. 3b are typically 3x-4x from everything I've seen. What is 2.75x doing for you? You are giving odds to call on light 3b and missing value when you have premiums.

1st hand I don't like anything.

Fold pre would have been totally acceptable.

Raise flop... why? Call fine here.

Turn call.... you just raised a flop cbet and V continued to lead turn on a blank. What are you beating that he does this with?


River call... meh

Did the solver really like raising flop? Feels -EV to me.

Yea my 3B sizing needs to be tightened up. I am all over the place and will vary throughout a session if I am playing against a group that has been sitting at the table for longer than 15-20min. Figure someone might be paying attention.

1st hand solver review:

I made multiple mistakes.

A call is fine pre flop from my position but 63% of the time I need to fold. A call is about 35%. I was looking to take the pot from some A10 type garbage.

A pot sized or more bet on the flop would have made his call or any raise -EV for his range. By making my smaller raise on the flop he is calling that bet 45% of the time and folding 33%.

On the turn his hand range is betting 1/2 pot 77% of the time so his bet sizing was not quite optimal, leaving an opening for me to make a better move which I did not. I need to call that bet 60% of the time. If I make a pot-sized or more re-raise he has to start folding 50% of the time or more. All-in on the turn is his next best move if I make the right sized bet. So my mistake makes his call correct. As played his turn check is correct 72% of the time. I needed to make a 25% pot sized bet 50% of the time.

I pot-committed myself with my bet sizing on the river. His river move to my river bet size is fold 51% of the time and his second best play is all-in 40% of the time.

It's close. A call on the flop is .89 and a raise of my size is .74. Any larger raise is -EV.
