    Default Hand Reviews 25NL Please and Thanks

    Here are nine hands from 25NL. I was 4 tabling throughout and had no reads. I also decided to go into each table with a $10 stack. Any tips on the hands as well as on what I need to work on? (which is probably a lot). Thanks a lot in advance.

    You are way too loose preflop and it's IMO very noticeable leak with emphasizes on 'suited'. By default ATs is a fold against UTG's raise even shorthanded - you'll be most likely dominated and out of position after flop, UNLESS you have some specific reason to play it against that particular player (you have no reads on OPPs). J9s hand I don't like at all. 97s is a OK hand vs PFRaiser in position with deep stacks, but since you're short-stacking this is something to avoid - no implied odds. QQ hand on the other side is the way to play short, but prepare for variance.

    If you're going to sit down with a $10 stack, you have to understand that suited connectors and small pairs become unplayable for the most part.

    Folding ATs in that spot pre-flop would be pretty bad. With his stack, I'm felting most Txx and Axx and any flushing board too.

    i feel like you played all those hands pretty well. But play more tightly OOP, like UTG or UTG+1

    Your place or my place
    As others said, I think you played em pretty good... here are my thoughts

    1) I could find a fold here unless villain is playing with you.
    2) I'm AI on this flop as much as possible.
    3) Goot
    4) I'm iffy here. Anyone else have thoughts?
    5) Good
    6) Good
    7) Don't hate it, but I think you're outkicked way often. Consider dumping the broadway offsuit cards like QJo, KJo, KTo QTo etc from EP.
    8) Interesting line. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't play it the same.
    9) I could probably fold that river but I'd hate it. When it gets to you the pot is so small and theyre showing strength... I want to say you have one beat but not the other. 33 vs A8?
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.
