some hands from today

Not a good day today, i think this is a downswing, but cause i'm still kinda new i start to doubt myself. Today i mainly got eaten up by small pots, and a few big pots on the side. Every continuation bet i made was called, and every bet with a hand i made was folded to, and i bet 2/3 to all of the pot every time randomly.

So heres some kinda random hands from today, nothing really specific, just tell me if i'm doing anything you think is wrong.


villain seems alright, doesn't normally bet like this or anyhting, had a vpip of 18% i think

Obviously this is a clear fold here, but with this many limpers and you hit the top pair with an alright kicker what do you do?

I guess this is why you don't slowplay the bottom end of a fullhouse, he showed QQ when i folded.

I'm just not sure what i'm doing wrong so i'm going to start posting alot more hands on here. I'm currently at 1.46 bb/100 hands over 10k hands at 100NL which is really annoying me. So i'm trying to plug up every leak i can find.

The only problem in my opinion is in leading out into a multi-way raised pot with J-10 on a J, 8, 8 flop. I'd probably much rather check to the preflop raiser to get a sense of where I stand, and either call or fold, depending on how strong he seems.

Also, in the hand where you flopped the boat with J-J, I think it may be best to lead out on the flop. The only hands that will give you action here are 3 kings or some sort of straight draw, and leading out will help get maximum action from these hands. It will conceal your hand from a player with 3 kings and will allow you more time to get him committed to the pot, and if a player has a straight draw, then you want him to pay to draw dead (if the player misses, you win nothing).

My opinion is that you've let alot of people draw out on you. On the first 2-3 hands (involving potential straights) I think you need to for see that the person has 4+ outs to make a one card straight. To avoid that you need to make sure his pot odds dont give him a smart call on your bet.

For the KK hand i bet the pot on the flop and i think 2/3rds of the pot on the turn, that is cutting off the drawing odds as much as i reasonably can. For the QJ hand i only raised him 3 dollars , which i admit was a bit weak, but still half the pot. On the JJ hand i did let people draw out on me because i tried to slowplay the ass end of a boat.

Thanks for the input.
