NH GM.

Could someone of the math wizard/statistical guys help me out on this one:
Say I play 1000 hands a day ( yes, I'm [censored] lazy...), my question is: is there any way to calculate how often you should in general lose to quads? Or let's put it like that, how often do you have quads in general?

Wow, I guess it is about time. I had 9 of them by the time I had 400k hands in. Course, I was playing limit where we see rivers more often.

[m bozeman]

GM, why the allin reraise on the turn? Maybe a smaller raise, or even smooth call?

[GrandMelon]

and ty to everyone for the props, nation im glad to see you tearing it up after recent struggles as well.

thanks man, i think all i needed was to get back to the game where i had the most success and was most comfortable. hopefully next month i can keep up a wr around 3 and put in 75-100k hands.

[five4suited]

I'm getting [censored] 3-bet/squeezed relentlessly at the [censored] 100, by 2p2ers no less. Last night this resulted in super monkey tilt, and then I flopped a set against him only to lose to his higher set.

Are there any good threads about the strategy/tactics involved here. I've been mulling it over and 4-bet light hoping to hit the flop doesn't seem like the play.

Whatever.

1) GM's hand is deceptive because he didn't bet his flush draw on the flop.

2) Smooth-calling is out of the question because when playing with 100BB instead of 60BB, if you don't raise before the river it's hard to get all-in...
