I recently took a small shot at 25NL, I think I am definantly skilled enough to play at this stake but I do not have the roll. 10NL has started to get a little boring so I checked out the 25NL action. I think I played most of these hands pretty well, but if anyone has anymore insight on how I might have played differently I would be really glad to hear it. Sorry HH convertor won't work because I cannot copy and paste (I am running windows on a mac).

HAND 1
Villain is 16.28/11.65/1.33 over 43 hands, effective stacks 23.20

Dealt to Hero in MP

UTG raises to 1 dollar
hero raises to 3.50
folded around
UTG reraises to 8 dollars
Hero calls

Flop (pot 16.35)
Villain leads 10
Hero re-raises all in for 15.20

I had never seen villain 3-bet in this situation...should I just stick my stack in preflop? Is smooth calling fine here...







HAND 2
UTG is 23/12.82/0.89 over 39 hands with a stack of 11.85
MP is 16.28/11.65/1.33 over 43 hands with a stack of 24.90

Dealt to Hero on CO

UTG raises to 1 dollar
MP calls 1 dollar
Hero calls 1 dollar

Flop (pot 3.35)
Checked around

Turn (pot 3.35)
Checked to Hero

Should I bet to start building the pot, or should I try to let someone catch up with a river card? 79 and 57 are pretty much the only scary drawing hands against my trips....








HAND 3

Villain is a shortie that just sat down. Only 15 hands on him 20/6.67/1.00

Dealt to hero in BB

Folded around to blinds
Villain completes SB
Hero checks BB

Flop (pot 0.5)
Villain bets .50
Hero raises to 1.50
Villain calls

Turn pot (3.50)
Villain is all in for 7.40
Hero calls

Thoughts about my flop raise? My call? What do you guys do in this situation?








HAND 4
Villain is 40.74/9.88/1.00 over 81 hands, effective stacks 44.80

Hero calls .25 in MP with
Villain raise to .75 from sb
Folded to hero who calls .50

Flop (pot 1.75)
Villain bets 1.25
Hero raises to 4

Anyone like this raise? 13 outs is a lot, but a sb raise is usually pretty strong right










HAND 5
UTG is 40.74/9.88/1.00 over 81 hands with 42.90
Button is 11.76/11.76/1.5 over 34 hands with 25.70
Hero has everyone covered

UTG raises to 0.75
Button reraises to 3.25
Hero is all in from the sb with

Should I smooth call here to so as not to drive out a lot of hands that I could extract money from on the flop? Should I maybe not raise as much...anyones thoughts here?











HAND 6
heads up with 40.74/9.88/1.00 I have won 4 of the last 5 pots

Hero is on bb wtih
Villain completes from the button
Hero checks

Flop (pot 0.5)

Villain calls 0.35

Turn (pot 1.20)
Hero checks
Villain bets 0.75
Hero calls

River (pot 2.70)

Is this retarded....should I bet turn here...how do I play this.
