    Default Low-low-low stakes 6-max hands

    Yeah, it's low stakes... but I'm not even close to pwning at this level yet.

    I suck at short-handed. Just to make that clear.

    Blinds: $0.01/$0.02

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with 7 7
    Hero raises to $0.08, CO raises to $0.32, Button raises to $5, 2 folds, Hero calls, CO folds.

    Button is a maniac, it's not the first time he's pulled this move. I reckon there's a good chance I'm ahead at this point, perhaps even ahead of both players. But I expect CO to fold if I call.

    Flop: K K 9 ($10.35, 2 players)
    Hero is all-in $0.37, Button calls.

    Turn: 6 ($11.09, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $11.09)

    River: 6 ($11.09, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $11.09)
    Results:
    Final pot: $11.09

    Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is SB with 4 4
    Button calls, Hero raises to $0.05, BB folds, Button calls.

    Flop: 4 8 T ($0.12, 2 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    Not a dangerous flop for me, so try to entice him in? Too often I'm betting good hands and no one has anything to play back with.

    Turn: Q ($0.12, 2 players)
    Hero bets $0.1, Button calls.

    River: J ($0.32, 2 players)
    Hero bets $0.3, Button calls.

    Results:
    Final pot: $0.92

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with 5 5
    UTG calls, Hero raises to $0.1, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG calls.

    Flop: 5 Q Q ($0.31, 3 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $0.1, BB calls, UTG folds.

    Can I bet more without chasing him off?

    Turn: 2 ($0.51, 2 players)
    BB bets $0.16, Hero calls.

    River: J ($0.83, 2 players)
    BB bets $0.14, Hero raises to $0.5, BB calls.

    Results:
    Final pot: $1.83

    Turn: Q ($0.04, 2 players)
    Hero bets $0.04, BB calls.

    All input appreciated.

    i don't want to be fussy, but posting stack sizes of the players would help much - since it is crucial in NL.

    Hand 1: your raise preflop is good, if the others have a stacksize of at least $1, but you were raised and reraised - this is an easy fold. button is a maniac as you mentioned but you have to worry about the CO since he raised your standard 4BB raise to 16BB. furthermore if you call the button - push. you have bet or call the flop anyway with 0.37 left with this potsize.

    Hand 2: looks good to me. if you have been agressive, you could try to bet the flop also and build the pot.

    Hand 3: if you put him on a queen raise more on turn, if you put him on the flush pushing the river is an option.

    Hand 4: you could consider checking the river down since there's a flush and a straight out there - depends on the opponent.

    hand 1) original raise is good, fold to reraises tho

    hand 2) yea, sometimes ill just bet the flop coz i want to build a pot, but you do have a good reason to check and bet on later streets, river is a pretty bad card tho, i probably bet $0.22 - every BB matters

    hand 3) pretty much the same hands are gonna call a $0.2, so i would bet more on the flop. on the turn he leads into you, i think this is good time to reraise rather than call, any Qx calls you which you beat apart from QQ, Q5 and Q2, which i think is unlikely (do the players at those stakes call raises with Q5 and Q2 preflop??)
    and on the river, i dont mind getting it all in, ull have the best hand a lot of the time, and theres a lot of weaker hands that you will get a call from.

    hand 4)usually when i flop trips i bet it, i guess im not a fan of slowplaying/checking, i would just bet pot, not really the best card on the turn, but id still continue betting, u fill up on the river, you could push, i prob would lol, if he has a flush hes calling i think, if he has a T hes calling...you beat a lot of hands, so yea, id get it all in.
