The Whale

Recreationaleasy read

Loose, table-warping whale who enters too many pots, pressures weakness, and drags junk to later streets.

Likes making the table react to him.Pushes harder when he feels everyone is playing scared.

Exploit rules

  • Value-bet relentlessly when The Whale keeps weak hands in range.
  • Use smaller sizings when you want his junk to keep coming along.
  • Bluff-catch more often after you show weakness because The Whale stabs too freely.

What they do wrong

  • Entering far too many pots preflop.
  • Over-stabbing after perceived weakness.
  • Dragging weak hands to rivers with poor discipline.

Street tendencies

PreflopEnters too many pots and distorts the table around him.
FlopStabs often when checked to after perceived surrender.
TurnInterprets checks as weakness and applies pressure quickly.
RiverGets to rivers with too many weak hands when you price him in.

Table notes

The Whale changes the whole table dynamic the moment he sits down.

If you keep his range wide, he arrives river with too much garbage.
