HAND 2: also unknown villain. I felt like a total donkey calling the turn and river, still I did it. *sigh*. Should have folded to the turn raise, right? i mean, the river call is kinda horrible. I don't know what I am beating, really. Posting this as a therapy, maybe?

My thoughts are:

HAND 1: Cry and call
HAND 2: HORRIBLE, Fold to the turn raise
HAND 3: No idea, he had a VP$IP at 42%. T9+ AT? a set? Can I find a fold here? Probably.

I think i would check the river and fold to a push, maybe call a small value bet. If he didn't have you beat on the flop, then he probably caught two pair or a set on the turn or river.

why dont you ever 3-bet, fuck those minraises

Hand 1: Raise more pre-flop. That was a bad river card for you and I might just check it because any bet forces you to stick it all in.

Hand 2: Push or fold the turn. As played, too many hands got there on the river.

Hand 3: Don't build pots out of position. I play 2 street bingo pre-flop. No fucking way I fold to that bozo post-flop.

Fnord - on hand 3 when you say "Don't build pots out of position", are you referring to the size of the preflop raise, as people who already have invested 1 BB in the pot and have position on you are pretty likely to call just 3 more BBs...?

his preflop raise was awful, and he didnt 3-bet the flop

Any 2 cards can call off 2bb more when someone out of postition jacks it up on a range of QQ+/AK. Hero needs to both force someone to make a mistake and limit the amount of money effectivly behind so he can call it all off post-flop without worrying about flopped monsters.

In that spot I usually raise to $10 and will do so with a range of QQ+/AK/trash. However, the stacks look pretty shallow, so I might drop down to $8 or $6 to induce calls and cascading errors post-flop.

Yeah, I don't know what I was doing there. I would usually raise to $5 here, maybe that's to small too? Should my standard 3-4xbb raise be increased much more with a limper or two? ($3 was way out of line, really don't know why I did that) Will post my stats soon after hitting 10k hands, I'm running really good but I feel like I'm playing like shit.

you make it 10bbs with deep stacks? seems a little steep

hand 1: i make it 4
hand 2: 5
hand 3: 6
