    i'd play it the same, but i might look him up on the river to get a read for later on in the tournament.

    i can understand the fold tho, we're crushed when he 4b like that...

    Wait so, what...?

    We minbet the drawy flop w/2nd pair?
    Minbet the turn as well?
    Get in a MINWAR on the river?!!?!?

    ....in No-Limit?

    I'm pretty sure this hand is horribly played by all involved,

    There's only one thing wrong how OP played the hand. He min-reraises the river to 90, I would have made it 100

    NO SARCASM IN THE BEGINNERS FORUM!

    vaks. You played this as bad as you possibly could.
    Fold preflop.
    As played: check flop, check turn, check-call smallish bet on the river.

    Explaining to you what you did wrong here would mean teaching you how to play NLHE from scratch, which is beyond the scope of one thread.

    Read the beginners digest, watch the small stakes videos.
    Don't take offense to that. You have no idea what you are doing playing this game. But you're here to learn, I hope.

    I posted those to demonstrate the deep psychological battles that were being waged every hand. There wasn't just a metagame but a metametagame or, the heavy metagame.

    Wow guys. The lack of content in this thread is really annoying. This is a strategy forum, not a place to post whore. Please go post your pointless bullshit in rilla's forum.

    kthx
