HERO CALLS -PREFLOP AND FLOP


Loosing money = Big Hero calls at PREFLOP AND FLOP

Did look over my last week perfomance and.....I do good still...there is coming up one or two hands during session where I can't resist but making ''Hero'' call(s)

Where and when it happens

  1. PreFlop

Calling All in with Premium Hands Like QQ – AA, or AK, AK suited

TO AVOID 
Remember = any two cards can win in this game. It is not worth to risk with hundred or more BBs for fast win. It will take far to long fight and get them back. Even vs loose openers or if You are in Position (it really does not matter in case of ALL IN)
Also not making big ''Hero'' calls like those will help You to avoid falling in TILT. Couple looses like this certainly will not help You mood during this or next session(s).
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN FAST AND YOU CAN'T FORCE YOURSELF TO WIN
  1. Flop
OUTS
Did figure out = calling at Flop without at least 6 outs is – EV play. 6 Outs will give You around 25% chance to win hand at the end. Really You could call only ¼ of pot. Most Cbets are half the pot size so You have to be in ''Good Spot'' if You are calling BET bigger then ¼ the pot.

OPPONENT(S) SHOULD HAVE:
HIGH CBET STAT (over 60 at least/everything over 80 is great)
Mostly Player who will like to take stab and win Pot easy way by making Cbet almost every time
LOW TURN BET (under 30/ everything under 20 is great)
Mostly passive players. Also players who have read or heard about Cbet and will make it but don't know how to play at turn if their hand did not ''hit''
HIGH CBET AND HIGH TO FOLD TurnBET (over 60 at least/ everything over 80 is great)
Players who will make Cbet but are not ''brave'' enough to fight ''till the end''.Also players who have read or heard about Cbet and will make it but don't know how to play at turn if their hand did not ''hit''
LOW WTSD STAT (under 30/everything under 20 is great)
Players who will give their hand up before the showdown far to easily. You got to pressure them and they will give up if they don't hold good hand with what they will put up the fight. If they do = do not be HERO and call
HIGH RAISE FIRST IN STAT(over 20 at least/ everything over 40 is great)
Mostly loose aggressive players who will raise in (not limping or calling) with many marginal hands in hope to take pot here and now. You got to play with those kind of guys = they are the ones who might make costly mistakes. If You have position and other stats are promising jump in. It might be You lucky day :)
NEXT TIME IF YOU THINK ABOUT CALLING THE CBET = DO IT ONLY IF YOU SPOT ONE OF THOSE STATS AT LEAST
