    I'm slowly getting back into my poker, I'm gonna try and post at least a hand from each session.

    On the laptop so no HUD, I have no notes on this villain so he's complete random.

    I'm not sure if I should be calling or raising on river. I'm probably folding to a river 3bet, though I wouldn't snap.

    My thoughts through the hand...

    Pre is standard open. My open sizing varies, it's either 5c or 6c. I try to mix it about simply to cause confusion, anyone who might see me open AA at 6c and then 67s at 5c might be fooled into thinking that I raise more with bigger hands. That misinformation could induce a misread. Is this dumb logic to apply at 2nl zoom?

    Flop is nice. I raise to rep the top of my range, looking to fold out pairs in his range and hopefully get worse draws calling.

    Turn is kinda bad. He checks. Should I bet this turn again? I check because he can hit the king pretty often, and I'm folding to a raise when I can peel for free. Checking reps KK, so I can bet or raise lots of missed rivers when I check the turn.

    River is bink. He bets. Obviously he has boats in his range, but he also has flushes. Am I simply forcing these flushes to fold out? Or am I right to assume the average 2nl zoom random is usually paying off a raise with worse flush?

    Thoughts on sizing appreciated too.

    I would probably bet the turn.

    As played he's very polarized to air or a hand that will call a bigger raise. I'd probably raise it harder to like 0.45 or so.

    He has no boats or at least less than he has quads. and king is a great barrel card. river def a raise. Id prolly call the flop tho I dont hate raising it just sucks if he can has a 5 and 3b it

    Also at "we dint pay attention 2nl" yr raise sizing shit is... well shit. You should be raising bigger with yr utg hands cos they yr best hands.
