    Default Couple hands from today's session

    Hand 1: SB seems to be playing quite regular taggy.
    I don't have much/any info on MP yet, he just joined the table but has been quite agressive preflop from the first few hands.
    Question 1: Is there even any point in calling with AQs here? I'm putting AK in his range a lot and many other pairs. I don't think he 3bets with many worse Aces
    Question 2: Given that I call to the 3bet, am I right to fold to the 4bet to a kinda shortstacky unknown?

    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    BTN: $10.50
    SB: $10.00
    Hero (BB): $18.02
    UTG: $19.63
    MP: $10.15
    CO: $5.00

    SB posts SB $0.05, Hero posts BB $0.10

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has A Q

    fold, MP raises to $0.30, fold, fold, SB raises to $1.00, Hero calls $0.90, MP raises to $4.70, fold, fold

    MP wins $3.00


    Hand 2: BB literally just sat in, I have no read on him, I initially just want to steal blinds

    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    MP: $10.19
    CO: $16.50
    BTN: $9.00
    Hero (SB): $20.21
    BB: $10.00
    UTG: $3.60

    Hero posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

    just trying to steal blinds here, but he calls

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has K T


    fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.30, BB calls $0.20

    Flop: ($0.60, 2 players) T 9 2
    Hero bets $0.30, BB raises to $0.80, Hero raises to $2.90, BB calls $2.10
    He raises my initial bet, I have no reads since it's my first hand with him and he has no read on me either. I reraise, he calls, I see this as weakness right?

    Turn: ($6.40, 2 players) 5
    Hero bets $17.01 and is all-in, BB calls $6.80 and is all-in
    I decide at this point that a lot of times I have the best hand with a better T or he may be on a draw, if he's got a set of 9's or T's then gg, so it should be correct to shove here right?

    Hand 3:
    Villain seems to be pretty solid, no big leaks yet, plays decent abc poker

    Question 1: Am I right to call his 3bet? In the game I decided to call because I'm in position and for some reason I feel like players at microstakes tend to blulff3bet a lot from the blinds if I try to steal them often (which I do).
    Question 2: It's standard to play agressive/go all-in when I hit a straight flush draw right?

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has Q J

    UTG calls $0.10, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.40, fold, BB raises to $1.30, fold, Hero calls $0.90

    Flop: ($2.75, 2 players) 9 A 8
    BB bets $1.80, Hero raises to $4.00, BB raises to $8.85 and is all-in, Hero calls $4.76 and is all-in

    Hand 4: Preflop action... I know that this is microstakes but honestly I really considered folding here. Here's why, UTG is nitty with stats 14/13 and has 3B% of 5, so is it OK to fold in this position? I called because ''it's microstakes so I'm not folding AK preflop'' although I doubt he 4bets with worse, he has never seemed to bluff

    Good luck with your goals dude, and remember, getting lucky can be the same thing as making a bad play.

    Yup, thanks for that reminder, def need it as I'm on a bit of a heater at the moment. Just had my second session today and I won another $50 which puts my PS account just under $360 lol. Who would've thought that I could potentially be rolled for 18NL before the week is almost over after depositing $250 yesterday and 4 hours of play...

    Was 2-3 tabling today, one of the tables was deep (250bb), not sure if I should've played on that table according to my bankroll rules even though that was the table with the most fish... but, I hit a 4 pair on that table and stacked 2 players who each had a full house so yeah lol (probably the only reason why my session was not break even).
