I spew in the worst ways..

    Default I spew in the worst ways..

    ok, I feel like I spew in the absolute worst ways. Maybe Im just not confident, but instead of really aggressive spewing, I find myself passively spewing, which of course gets very few show downs. Heres an example.

    dealt to hero

    utg calls .50, utg+1 raises to $1, 1fold, hero raises to $4.5

    flop:

    hero bets $7, utg+1 calls

    turn:
    hero c/c $5.5

    river:

    hero c/f to $13
    You-- yes, you-- you're a cunt.

    call riv, you have what 3 to 1? This isn't always a Q.
    I play the rest the same, but id love to hear about a better line.

    So are you saying you should be the turn again or call the river?

    - betting turn good
    - calling river bad

    Nothing glaringly wrong with this hand imo.

    Sometimes I check flop if opponent sux and won't put pressure on me without a big hand.

    Sometimes bet/fold turn.

    Sometimes bluff push river (after taking the line you took).

    But I don't think your line is terrible.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    idk.. I just feel like Im losing 20-30bb and never seeing showdowns. Maybe Im looking in the wrong places for leaks?

    You may just be having bad variance.
