1/3/mandatory 6 NLHE 9 handedV1 - New whale that's entered the room and is playing daily it seems. Asian. Mid-20s. Very face up pre and post. Opens too wide, calls way too wide, 3-bets too narrow, 4-bets AQs+ JJ+, overvalues overpairs post. 400$. MP.V2 - Unknown fish. 300$. LJ.V3 - LAG crusher. Plays higher stakes at different rooms in some major rooms including Parx, Commerce
Id fold pre flop. The reason I would fold cause I don't think hes sq a pair under your tens against 2 bad players. They probably going to both call and hes going to be in rough spot post flop. And is he sq QK? Possibly. But I think hes very value heavy with big pairs and AQ+. And you shoving I don't think makes him fold. So your basically hoping to flip and unrealistic he calls your jam with 9s. Or you are just dominated. I see from one of the messages he had JJ. That sounds about right. I think you can find a better 4b shove spot. This would be a better spot if hes 3b one player not sq. He is more value heavy in these spots cause he has to put in more chips. I 3b sq as bluff more often then most people but I am doing it against regulars that can fold pre flop. Or if I am trying to kick out one reg so I have the fish hu. Since its 2 fish it just seems to me hes very value heavy in these spots. I personally would be.
Your screenname makes the reveal so much better.
How big is your pair, banana!! I'm almost there banana!!! Ohhh banana!!!
I would of said come to the bathroom and find out.
ah yes the mythical player that can beat high stakes but cannot figure out your 1/3 game
idk man, I realize you are mostly being sarcastic here ... but I'd be shocked if everyone in the thread doesn't have multiple examples of higher stakes players sitting in their low stakes game and not playing their A game.
This isn't chess. It's pretty easy to play too wide and put yourself in bad spots at 1-3, with std. 5x opens 150bb deep.

these kinds of statements are delusional. maybe this happens? but when someone tells you that a guy is good and plays higher your initial reaction should not be lol hes a spot in my 1/3 game. his hand and his reaction should be fairly telling that he is trying to win. yet everyone in the thread wants to keep ignoring villain description (warranted given banana) and results to keep saying lol he cant possibly be taking it seriously, this guy must be unable to adapt to my tough 1/3 game
also probably the vast majority, possibly the entirety of the forum, have likely not played a single hand with anyone wins at high stakes so i think its sort of an odd generalization to make
A shove or fold spot im ok with both to be honest.
The most important info is how v3 views v1, does v3 know that v1 opens wide and is a new whale etc…
I think if v3 views v1 as a typical 1/3 passive fish then TT is a snap fold.
If v3 knows v1 opens way too wide then im ok with both options.
Jam or fold.
Think the EV's run pretty close.
Someone can be winning at high stakes sit in a lower game and have no respect for the game. They can also make bad plays for THAT stake AND they can still not be as good as you think. Looking at whether or not 4betting 77 at 1/3 is good is ridiculous. But spoiler: it's not.
I really don’t see players that would rather play higher making big mistakes. There lack of respect for the game comes with straddles and big bets that don’t really fit the situation.
It’s really more unclear in a small room with anything higher than 1/3 being rarely spread.
I admit that many are not great players, but even if people think they are out of line, they mostly fold to their overbets. So, you do have to adjust to these players - have to be careful opening 10 to 15 early if it’s consistently 3bet to a hundred.
Actually, I don’t mind this, as I think I adjust better than most. This is why it’s good to wait an orbit or two before getting involved with marginals. Sometimes there’s 2 or 3 in the game and it’s like playing 5/10.
