Vekked;310889 wroteIt's def just some fundamental leaks. I can tell you just from this thread that your hand reading needs work because the range that you put him on consists of hands that I don't even think are part of his range, let alone his entire range. In order to make proper decisions you need to be able to range people accurately, then the next step is learning how to play against and exploit the ranges you put someone on. It's possible to be a good hand reader but not know how to choose the best play based on that range.
Also in the last post there's some inconsistent logic when you say "I don't like 3Bing someone who can own my soul post flop OOP", then deciding to flat, because 3-betting usually works to reduce positional advantage by bloating the pot and getting chips in earlier. Position is far more important when you can play flop/turn/river than if you're having to make decisions for most of your chips on the flop. If you think he's loose enough to consider flatting (he's
opening like 15-20% or more UTG), then 3-betting ATs is completely fine, it's probably one of the nut hands to 3-bet light here.
Thanx for the insight Jake
Thing is, hand reading is one of my strengths, I think I'm pretty good at putting players on ranges relative to their position. At least I used to think so lol
I think my leak here is that I'm intimidated of other opponents that I respect a great deal, so I give them way to much credit, and then (in this example) by the river I decide basically "fuck you I got trip aces I'm not folding" which, is obviously ridiculous.
This thread is an eye opener for me in the fact that my overall perception is so skewed. Still having fundamental leaks when I've put so much time into my game really brings me down lol
