    Default Line checks

    June has been pretty miserable for me to say the least, so I wanna post a few hands from today to make sure I'm not doing anything to amplify the variance.

    Hand 1

    Villain is 75/3. I've been isolating him with any decent holding, but this is the first time he's limp/3bet me. Is this just horrible postflop?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO ($7.95)
    Hero ($10.35)
    SB ($13)
    BB ($10)
    UTG ($14.05)
    MP ($11.55)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, Q.
    2 folds, CO calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.5, 2 folds, CO raises to $1, Hero calls $0.50.

    Flop: ($2.15) K, J, 3 (2 players)
    CO checks, Hero checks.

    Turn: ($2.15) 4 (2 players)
    CO checks, Hero bets $1.1, CO raises to $2.2, Hero calls $1.10.

    River: ($6.55) 3 (2 players)
    CO bets $4.75 (All-In), Hero calls $4.75.

    Final Pot: $16.05




    Hand 2

    At the time villain was running something like 33/22, but this is the first time he's 3-bet PF. I figured that he obviously liked his hand, so I decided to crai on any flop. Fine?

    Hero checks, Button bets $2.4, Hero raises to $11.65, Button calls $6.90 (All-In).

    Turn: ($21.55) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($21.55) 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $21.55




    Hand 3

    Villain is 35/13. Good turn to double barrel? (probably should bet more, I know)

    Hand 1 is awkward. These guys always seem to show up with AA when they do this. However, I probably just get it in on the flop.

    Hands 2 and 3 are standard.

    this. hand 1 depends on how many hands the sample is if i want to play for stacks. if its 100+ hands here then i think folding the river is correct, although i can never lay down TPGK+ to mouthbreathers like that.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    Hand 1 is usually a fold without reads.

    Hand 2 is fine, although I usually4bet preflop OOP.

    Hand 3 is fine too. It could be that c/c flop instead of betting is better. I'm not sure on it.
