    worst mini session ever

    minus 5 buy ins mostly down to this bull****. any ideas on how i can pssibly get away from these? or play them more optimaly.

    this is standard.



    oh ok twice in ten hands.... bet sizing is waaaay too small, pre and on the flop. prolly shudnt be playing6 tables if i cant actually see this....




    ERRRMM WHAT.



    Looks very drawy at the time, but think i could have got away.



    you think i can get alot of value out of tptk type hands here? again poor i think, still hes got like 42 bbs or sumint.

    :idea: stop being a moron :idea:

    1st hand - Unlucky, you played it well, just a cooler.
    2nd hand - I think you should 4-bet after he 3-bets, if you can get it in pre, that is a result because hands such as AK slowdown if they miss the flop and you're definitely getting called by JJ/QQ. Also (I know you've identified it) but, bet a bit more pre, due to being OOP.
    3rd hand - I like the fact that you pot controlled, unlucky that he binked the river.
    4th hand - Cooler. It does look drawy, but I didn't put him on a FD because I dnt think he ships the turn there unless he flopped it. He could easily have K10, KJ in this spot all of which you beat, so not a bad call.
    5th hand - He shouldn't be playing that trash OOP.

    1- Fine
    2- limp min raise stinks, and you are right about your bet sizin. but we have KK so i am not folding.
    3- Fine, river maybe you can fold if he only bets top hands. Depends if you think he will bluff at the pot when you check river.
    4- Raise more pre + flop. Turn puts you in a ****ty spot, you have to bet and then whether you call his c/r turn depends on how aggro he is i think.
    5- He turns the flush, congrats. Think you played it fine, raise more on the flop probs to 2-2.5$.

    im nota a fan of four betting pre in general tbgh, unless ive got info on people calling 4 bets light. tan out of interest what else are you four betting pre? im not getting called by jj-qq if the only hands i 4 bet are aces - kings in long run.

    the rest, i think ur dead right, kinda suky

    cheers guys i was just hoping i didnt do anything glaringly bad, some days the world just craps on u eh?

    hand 1 just sucks and your're getting stacked everytime

    hand 2 I would 4bet pre as we are OOP and it's going to suck playing OOP considering we are effectively playing a 2bet pot

    hand 3 I generally don't raise a hand as poor as A2s, but now you've gotton there I like the way you played it

    hand 4 I generally don't raise the flop unless I have the Qc to go with it. On the turn I would fold to the C/R unless you really think as Jeremy does that he will do this with KT/KJ etc.

    hand 5 again I don't play this pre, as A9o is just too weak UTG 6 handed to play. But once again now you've gotten there I would play it the same.

    Agree somewhat w/ george.

    A9 I'd fold, the rest look pretty standard. Just got the middle of your range to run into the top of everyone else's range.

    1 - Pretty standard
    2 - Whether or not we 4bet we're losing a stack either way. The bigger question is: Is it more profitable to 4bet or smooth the 3bet?
    3 - I'm only taking this line against really aggressive opponents. Given the way our opponent plays the hand its quite possible he fits this but majority of the time I'm setting a smaller price on the river with a blocker bet. Let's face it, a lot of draws like diamonds get there.
    4 - I just don't think you're going to see KJ, KT in his range that much. A lot of these station type player preflop play fit or fold postflop. So when he bets out into two opponents then calls a raise and check raises you essentially for a stack on the turn I feel like my KQ is going to significantly behind most players ranges.
    5 - I'm checking the turn unless we're facing a total station. I don't expect to get a stack out of a weak ace especially with a flush turn card. Plus, it almost forces any opponent to bet the river with a strong hand like a flush because he realizes I could easily be checking behind on the river and he wants to get some value. So, I in turn can majority of the time bet the river safely when double checked to me. Additionally, the only bad thing that can happen is another heart comes off and he has a garbage hand for some reason he calls the flop and decides to turn into a bluff on the river
