Swingy results. Feels a bit like my results depend on how I'm running, which...well sounds how it should be, but I mean in a more exaggerated fashion. I think I made things worse looking for places where 'my range is strong, I'll bluff' in larger pots. On one hand I make $ when people can't fold, so no matter how strong my range is, I'm not sure I should be trying to get people to fold. I dunno, on review some I think are bad, some I think are good, and some I just don't know, but I probably don't need to be trying them. Here's probably the one I was most torn on at the time:



NL Holdem $0.02(BB)
HERO ($2.12)
SB ($1.98)
BB ($2.33)
UTG ($0.94)
HJ ($0.76)
CO ($2.14)

UTG Folds, HJ Folds, CO Raises To $0.05, HERO Calls $0.05, SB Folds, BB Folds


Flop ($0.13): Q K 2
CO Checks, HERO Bets $0.09, CO Calls $0.09


Turn ($0.31): Q K 2 2
CO Checks, HERO Bets $0.22, CO Calls $0.22


River ($0.75): Q K 2 2 T
CO Checks, HERO Bets $0.54 , CO Calls $0.54

CO shows: J Q


CO wins: $1.74

I didn't have a heap of hands on him, but he seemed reggy. I expect him to cbet something like JT and any K or better, so when he C/C flop I put on a Q. So my bet on the river is obv not a value bet, I think he has better and want him to fold. I think betting flop when checked to is fine, and basically treating my hand as KQ is ok. I guess the 2nd 2 on the turn didn't help me as now I don't have a set, but...I dunno. Thoughts?

Then there are some hands, where I just have no idea what range to give a villain. In this hand, villain has pretty much just sat down.

NL Holdem $0.02(BB)

Turn ($0.33): T 9 J 7
BB Bets $0.58 (allin), Hero???


Flop I guess I should know what to do here, but didn't. He could have all kinds of draws, but he could also have me drawing to 4 outs. Turn is even worse. Am I overthinking this? I think it's a fold on the turn, but if so, do we fold pretty much everything other than QK?
