65%. In the aggregate folding QQ pre flop is not profitable but you’d be surprised how many times you’ll lose your stack with queens or jacks. I treat queens and jacks like pocket 7s honestly but I play higher stakes. More often than not you’ll lose a big pot with queens or jacks and win a small one. People overvalue those hands far too often.

Even at the bottom of most people’s 4 bet or even 3 bet ranges you’re up against AK and if you don’t shove and get a clean board you’re not gonna get any value from a hand like that anyways. So If you think about it you’re only getting paid off on queens or jacks on a super wet board where your opponent either has a range advantage, they have a redraw to the nuts, or they’re gonna fold because they came up dry.

Just my opinion but it’s been my experience in folding those kinda hands pre flop. Trusting your instincts is super important if you’re playing optimally. Making bigger folds is a hard lesson to learn but it’s the difference between good players and great players.

Just my opinion but I’d rather play smaller pots with those kinda hands because you’re only able to get the maximum profit on wet boards which puts you in tough spots and you’re gonna be wrong some times.

Folding is hard but it can actually be a really essential part of your game to learn to fold.

Calling with these hands is usually the better play honestly. You don’t have to play a big pot every time you have pocket pairs.

My example is that I’ve folded King’s pre flop exactly 3 times in my life. All three times I was right and got Shown aces... again.... just my opinion

But bruh, I won three hundo last night in a $70 tourney, GIT ON MUH LVL!

Haha I’m with you!!! Few years back I shipped a tourney at the Silks!!!

Take a look at your settings. I think you had the "Villain clicks his tongue and says, 'Well, guess it's time to go home' before shoving" checkbox selected.

That box only expands OMCs range to Kings. Shoving Kong’s preflop is reckless play to an OMC.

Long waitlist for 1/2 so I put my name on both. Hit up the 1/2 for an hour. Turned $300 into $830 and took a look at the 2/5 seat that had opened. Liked what I saw. Rungood ensued

This is what happens to $2700 when the Hold’em player gets lucky to hit his 2 outer on the river in the PLO game.

I had on a flop and check raised to $350 turn is the and I move all-in and get called by .
There were also 2 shorter stacks that ended up all in, one with middle set and the other with a worse flush draw.

Sadly the on the river cost me this monster pot. I guess he thought if he made trips Jacks, his set or 2 pair with the A that they were all good? Who knows really though. Tough beat.

For the most part a lot of them play pretty bad. The problem is that when 3-4 of them don’t fold their 15-20% equity most hands it’s hard win, even as a 95% favorite. So much of PLO is getting people to fold their equity to increase yours against the players that do call still.

So my strategy of pot or fold isn't as bad as I thought it was...

Had some run good at my buddy’s tourney last night! Sitting on 260k out of a possible 360k on the table when we got down to 4 remaining. When the dust settled, I had them all and collected 6 bounty chips along the way. Turned a $60 investment into $510!!

 

[NayNay]

These are getting redundant, again I only like the 2 3 8 and 9 seats at this card room but damn I had a nice run again. $500 in. $2940 out. About 7 hour session.

how's the poker room there?

 

[Pocketful of Aces]

Our table at Diamond Jim's, hit the minor jackpot (bad beat recipient received around 500, the winner receives 300, the player's receive 28).

I Have been a winning player with all my recent visits so this year I'm hoping to stay in the green

Like what you've done with the Native Light secondary relabel!

 

[Payback]

A already stuck after losing AK to TT on an KT3 board. My new table mate isn't making this game any easier.

Twin River is a pretty poopy casino. The 1/2 tables are a crapshoot most of the time. Can't speak for 2/5 and 5/10. I haven't run good once there and probably won't go back lol. I'll just wait for Encore.

 

[sheikh617]

.25/.50 home game. In for $40 out for $260. Big hands held up all night and I made a huge call on a drawing hand that got there and the payoff was pretty massive. Playing poker with your buddies is just on another level vs casino play to me.

Played the biggest buy-in tourney of my life yesterday. $3700 WPT Main event at Choctaw Casino Durant, Ok. I played well up until the end when I couldn't find the fold when my top two pair went against the nut flush. It was the hand right before the last break of the evening and I felt like there was a chance he could be bluffing in that spot. Ended up busting a short time after play resumed when I shoved 10bb on the BTN w/ KQo vs A4o in the SB. I flopped a queen in the window but Ace came on the river. We were probably 1hr away from bagging for the night. My table had two big pros with over 3 million in career earnings combined (Erkut Yilmaz & Josh Reichard), so I'm a little proud that I held my own for most of the day. My peak stack was 77,400 at dinner break. Win or lose I am happy with how far I've come in poker, will take another shot at the WPT one day.

Last screenshot, is that a Live Session? I use the same app but I take hand notes and log the session in PBT after the fact, so I've never used Live Session before.

Yes that’s a live session. I keep notes on my phone as well but I use the app to track pots and my stack over the course of a session
