Last hand previous hand i had shown JJ preflop, this hand comes up I check flop OOP. Then bet turn fearing he was weak, didnt have the balls to fire a bluff on river in case of PP.


Opinions?

I think one of my probelms is I dont like firing continuation bets OOP These hands some of my NL ring when im not catching flops but catching okay cards in position or to make a move, I have no idea what to do as they love to call the flop bets, should I try floats?

Maybe im building pots too much with my bets with nothing, as they believe im a bluffer and I should refrain myself from making these bets. But when I see what they had and knew that they were weak it sucks. Other times it seems as if its the opposite where I should refrain from making these bets because they do have something.

This guy is a solid guy, But I miss the opp on river to even get a bluff or to value bet.

What The Fuckkk am I missing. I just bought Online Ace and that is helping my game but there is a situation where i Must reverse


His OOP bets to my OOP bets and in position bets when in fact he has the hand or doesnt. Something im so close to but yet cant figure out.

On the first hand firing the river is bad. Calling isn't awful because he could just as easily have a draw or a weak Jack.

The second hand IMO is real bad. You shouldn't create huge pots with weak one pair hands OOP by c/r'ing. This use to be a huge leak of mine and is just spewage lots of the time. I check the river to induce bluffs from busted diamonds.

Third hand I just bet the flop and if called am done with the hand unless I pick up a straight draw or a pair. If I pick up a pair I likely check anyways.

Fourth hand I fold preflop. I'm a nit. Bluffing the flop can't be bad since sometimes you will hit the flop and get called down because you showed a bluff but there is no need to do it often at all unless you think he's raising trash alot.

5th hand lead the flop and you win. If he calls this is a spot I like to fire a second barrell.

6th hand i bet the flop, but after checking the flop betting the turn is good. I'm pretty sure the river should be an easy bet/fold situation.

7th hand raise pf, obv. after going 4 bets on the turn you have to think you're behind unless he just went off the deep end with Khxh. That check min/raise then throwing in a 4th bet is just scary. Sometimes he'll turn over the same hand. I think part of this is just being results oriented, you should keep the results out of the big hands/tough decisions that you have.

[bode]

douche bag

[mcatdog]

You overplay your hands pretty badly.

[ripjohngotti]

Yeah sometimes I do.

[nutsinho]

not continuing on the flop with the 69h hand is completely asinine
raise his turn bet as well

[cardsman1992]

What in the world are you doing playing $100 NL?

Are you rolled? The hands I see you post say you need to beat $25 at least......

[cardsman1992]

Hand one, fold preflop. Don't get involved. No way I lead river when that second J falls and my hand sux....

Hand two, either raise like you mean it or fold. Raise to $15-$10. Lead turn, if he calls turn and checks river, I check behind.

Hand three, if you raise PF, bet the flop!!! If he calls the turn bet, most of the time he is not afraid of you. As played, I probably bluff the river.

Hand four, once again, if you raise PF, bet the flop!! This is a good opportunity to build the pot for your FD, too. You have to give it up on the turn, or raise the roof on that weak turn bet, whichever your read tells you to do. He could very well be holding a king, but he could also be testing his PP to see if it's good.

Hand five, don't call raises with KQo. Too easily dominated by a PFR range (unless his is 20%). Pick a better spot. After that it's not played badly.

88--five handed, I raise PF. Then you can take it down on flop. With some of the crap you have been raising, you would probably get a call PF if you raise, too. I raise PF, lead flop, lead turn, lead river but fold to a raise on any street.

KQ, you hit your Q on the flop. Opp calling your flop bet then 4 betting you on turn says you are behind. That being said, I have a knack for paying off sets myself.
Quit minraising, though....
