please learn to put the rest of the money in when it's going in anyways and you have the best hand.

What if a spade comes, you're slightly deeper, and villain chickens out? He's never folding after c/'ring the turn, just stick it in.

First hand:

Preflop I decided to check my K8 as it is weak, on the flop I checked hoping to get raised by someone who'd hit a pair, MP1 raised the pot and SB folds, I assumed he had no better then a pair or a draw when the ace come I had figured I will still in the lead with two pair and after the turn made me a boat I check raised him and went all the way to value town.

Second hand: I called a standard raise from UTG as I was going to raise about half the pot on the flop (as long as it wasn't something like A K J) also with the hope i'd trip up, which I did. When he raised $1.20 U put him on a pair of kings for sure with AK maybe KQ, he wouldn't have made both raises with much else unless he was stone cold bluffing in which case i'd still win then after the check on the turn if I was right I still had him beat with my full house so I decided to bet about half the pot, once he called we both had very little stacks left and I was pretty sure I was going to win, so I called and I did. wahoo

BR: $181.28

thanks for the advice bigspenda73, i'll bear it in mind next time a situation like this occurs =]

[bigspenda73]

I was really referring to your bet sizing and the river c/r in hand 1.

I mean, you had to go for a c/r to get the money in and you still have to overbet shove to do so.

Raise the flop to like $1.20 total, bet $2.25 on the turn, and the river is a much easier push.

To explain this graph I used to play for fun and was reckless and it started going up when I started playing properly

[Disco]

BR: $216

I also tried my luck at a couple of $10 MTT and lent my mate 20 bucks so I would be on like 250+

[Disco]

BR: $230, still playing $10NL an had a go at $25NL and came out $10 up

To make your operation more of a success i wouldn't play above your bankroll. It'll only slow down your progress.

[meeloche]

wow quads over quads, too bad your playing on pokerstars and not a site with a BBJ.

[daven]

I bet villain was regretting slow-playing flopped quads when that river came. Seriously though, he flopped quads and didn't bet until the only call he could get was from someone who had him beaten. Awesome.

How's the rest of the op going?

I haven't updated in a whole, had some family problems that I won't go into, but I am nearly 3x my old br goal, but also because of these problems I think I am going to have to withdraw it all, I will probably start again when I can =/
