Very good but brick hit back

I think it goes without saying if music cost you that much I would stop listening because your not as engaged as you should be. I can't listen to music while I play though I would miss too much.

That being said I would look at your ev here you are getting pretty good odds on just calling to take down 135$. If you are thinking of 3! Here when you've seen his hands show down previously does he pkay garbage off rags where maybe he hit that board not saying he has a 7 but possibly the 9 or the 3... I would need a little more information here.

Against two loose-passives, the flop feels like an easy 1/3 psb.

3bet with Q9dd is whatever ... but why are you blasting off on Js-7s-3s? You are crushed by almost anything that calls and don't have a range advantage, even without a monotone flop it's not good for you.

On the other side you have AK on 777 ... you are only crushed by quads, and you have a huge range advantage.

By the time it gets to the river though I probably just fold, V1 donk lead after overcalling turn looks like at least 66.

I'd probably go $20 pre, but it's fine. I also c-bet this flop. As played, I just give up on turn, but I understand the call. Fold river unless he's bluffing here, which I doubt. We do beat non-pairing AX, but meh.

i misread the action, i thought the same guy who donked turn bet river.

fold the river.

Just cbet the flop 1/3p with entire range. Huge overpair advantage here makes me wanna put the pedal to the floor and make these loose passive guys put in money on the flop and turn then inevitably fold the river. If they have quads they will let you off the hook by raising either the flop or turn more often than not. AK doesnt seem like a great hand to go into bluff catching mode with. Its so hard to get paid when we hit and too often we just get milked by the small to medium pocket pairs. My strat here would be 1/3p the flop, pot on the turn, pay close attention to live reads and timing tells. It should be fairly easy to tell when they have a difficult decision vs an easy one (quads haha). If everything goes according to plan opponent should be quite capped on the river and we can put in a chunky overbet.

PRE - raise bigger (this has to be the 18th time I've posted this in one of OP's threads). You're not folding out anything when you open to $15 over a limp at 1/3.

They don't limp to fold to a 5x raise. They're limping to call. You might as well raise bigger.

FLOP - C-bet 1/3 pot when action checks to us IP. No idea why we're checking back.

TURN - Calling seems fine. Wouldn't hate a raise.

RIVER - This is why I think we could raise turn. We're now guessing if V has a pair or not, and if he'll fold to a raise now.

Result:

Yeah, the 3! with Q9s seems OK, but, on that flop, it is just a give up or cbet / give up. There are other flops where AK or JJ+ would likely be way ahead and you can represent as the 3-bettor.

Listening to music massively costs you way more than just this one awful spot. There is a lot of information that can be gathered even when you are not in the hand. Lots of recs go to the games in part for the social aspect of the game, it can be tedious to chat with them but if they are going to blow through 50bb/hr and they don’t want to be sitting next to silent robots, don’t be one, maybe they’ll even voluntarily give you info on how they approach certain hands/spots.

On the Q9s hand, you wouldn't fire 3 barrels with much of AQ+/TT+. You are maybe representing AsKs, JJ, or a 3! bluff with suited cards that hit. Maybe a bare As semibluffing and continuing on the river. It doesn't make any sense. The middle card 3-flush board would put AA into call down mode usually. There are plenty of boards you can barrel on after 3-betting light and missing.

Hyper cautious trappy post. Has 88 no spade. This makes no sense

Absolutely hate every decision in all of these hands.

HH1: why are you 3betting a passive guy opening from MP? it’s okay to fold a suited 2 gapper once in awhile. once SB cold calls just shut it down when you completely whiff the flop. the fact he called your turn bet on an Ace leads me to believe you have a terrible image, if not to the whole table at the very least to SB.

HH2: c-bet flop 1/3 PSB. as played fold turn. as played fold river.
