Good job with the first homework.

With the help of this course (and myself) and your hard work we should be able to overcome a lot of your weakness.

Hey there, time for homework 2. Just wanted to say, the 2 podcasts and articles for lesson 1 and 2 have a helped me a lot already!
But desperately want to attend the coachings properly, could you tell me please which lesson is scheduled for coaching this saturday? (01/03/14)
Would be best to catch up and be in sync with everyone else when i get there. Thank you ♦

Question 1: What do you think you could play differently than suggested in the BSS Starting Hands Chart and why?

I do make slight variations to the chart in certain situations. For example with the call 20 rule; if my opponent is a straight forward TAG style I would call 17-19 with the intention of c-betting the flop and fit/folding from there. This is because TAGs generally play fairly sensible post-flop and has less of a problem folding if they dont hit. This situation is best when the TAG villain limped preflop as I put them on a pocket pair too or some suited connecter most of time. I guess if i raised him preflop and took initiative my story might play a little better but that may be a bit too dangerous on micro limits!
Also I call instead of fold the AQ-A10 part of the chart if they are suited, I feel like the chance of the nut flush bumps it up enough to make the call? Sometimes if I feel its right i can also 3bet with these hands, to make my 3betting range a little wider.

I actually have no idea if any of this wise or not, would you tend to agree with these variations?

Question 2: Do you have questions about your preflop play? Post your hand for evaluation.

Qq Nl10 Fr

Question 3: What is the equity of AKo against the top 5% range? 5% means 88+, AJs+, KQs, AKo.

AKo - 46.32%
5% range - 53.68%

Grateful for feedback, thanks v much ♦

Hey Jack,

Good job with homework 2.

I am not sure what Bierber will be running at this coaching on Saturday.

You can also attend my coaching on Sunday which is tailored to beginner players as well (it's me playing live tables, 10 nl on Pokerstars explaining my thought process to everyone).

Best of luck,

Bogdan
