    Default Some 25NL 6-max hands

    Hand 1 - Do 1 4-bet here against a 20/10? I don't know how positionally aware opp is and I don't know if opp is capable of 3betting light. Am I then calling a shove?

    If you don't post so many at once you'll get more/better feedback

    Hand 1 - folding isn't bad against an unkown (but start paying attention).

    I call, use position and play post-flop. I think he has 88-99, JJ a lot here (because the raise seems a bit big)

    Hand 2 - Fold, with the Ah I call. Sometimes this is baby flush, sometimes it's JJ, QQ who thinks you'll fold.

    Hand 3 - what about MP? Without any read/info on him it's hard to say. It's def set/2p/draw. At a higher stake you may push a draw here, thus pushing with overpair is good, but at microstakes that's too much metagame.

    Hand 4 - This line sucks. I like call pre, c/r flop better. Or as played, b/f turn (if folding is right).

    Only use this line if your testing playing back (to see if they will fold), then do it with air. Or with a bigger hand so you can c/push turn.

    Hand 5 - I believe you're calling $14 to win $35, so no. Although if villain has a set he played it well. I don't care for the turn bet (it makes it hard to get away, even if he calls turn). check/push if you think he bets, or make it $8 on the turn.

    Thanks for the feedback swig. I realised after I posted that there were probs too many hands in there, I'll stick to 1 per post and include more/better reads in future.

    One thing that has confused me is your hand 4 comments. I can see why flop/turn line is rubbish, but I thought TT was way ahead of his p/f range so I should be 3-betting...? Should I be polarising my 3-betting range because TT plays badly against his calling range/ can't call a 4bet and loses too much value? What would be a reasonable 3-betting range against, for example, a 20/15?
