hand one...you were beat on the flop. usually, a bet, and a RR after you raise, means something better than a 9. you are vulnerable here. your TPTK was worth the raise, imo, but he either was sick of you being aggressive (assuming you are) or he had it. either way, fold flop and grab a better spot to put 25%+ of your stack in the middle...at a $10 game.

hand two...nothing to suggest here. your fold was absolutely correct. i like your flop bet. however, i dont know if i call the turn. aces up beats you, but prolly doesnt bet the flush. yes, thats a weak bet, but too many hands beat you now. top two, sets, straights, flushes...some have redraws to an even better hand. YOUR two pair is as strong as high card on this board. fold turn.

hand three...i play it totally differently. bear in mind, i overplay KJ, but...RAISE pf and fire a cbet into just about any board, youre already HU, certainly you can outplay your opponent post flop HU...and by "outplay" i dont mean outBET, i mean you will make less mistakes in a marginal situation, but extract more value when you are strong. anyway, as played, i would normally say RAISE the flop bet, but i think it may be better to call lately. you are WA/WB here, imo. if he has no Q, you should be way ahead, and he will continue to try and push you off...maybe with a lesser K (it was limped btw). however, if he flopped trips, you need to control the pot as best you can. prolly a smarter line than my "power poker with marginal, trap hands." i dont see how you fold the turn here...yet. sure, AT got there, but your kicker still plays against weaker K's. and a T or A still is on a draw. pp's you have crushed. the only things i see you behind are the obvious Q and AK (which wouldnt have limped pf, generally). with a more aggressive line, i dont think he bets here w/o the Q, but i dont see how you can tell w/o popping him somewhere (goes back to my traditional line here). imo, i think that taking a position of strength with marginally powerful hands is best in HU pots and high boards.

hand four...i dont know that i like the calling of the push, either. i like the results, but thats about it. well, the flop bet was nice. with a combo-draw, i'm sure you know that the flop is the spot to get the money in...when you are likely favored. the turn, you are no longer the favorite, and if you think a T gave him trips...that makes the push even worse. you did your job, imo, you bet strong...he pushed. he's repping the T, not a draw. bad call, imo.


seems to me you like to take hands WAY too far when you know you shouldnt be. in limit that can be rewarded, but in NL, its the fastest way to BROKESVILLE.

do more raising early, do more folding late to aggression, especially when you were the aggressor.
