    5) i think folding is an error here. You priced yourself into calling there (yes, with K-high).
    You are getting about 8:1 to call

    getting my swell on
    one thing that kind of popped out at me is that you never c/r any street.

    and in #5 theres no point in calling for anything other than info. i dont care if you are getting 8:1 you are never ever remotely close to winning here. also if you plan on bluffing him here you should just shove, especially if you are planning on calling a shove.

    Even if it isn't important for the answers to your questions about to play.... would be nice to see how it went down and to see the results then. I see here some many people posting hands without to get to the showdon then.

    translation? results are hidden on purpose so that there is an unbiased disscusion on the hands. OP can post results at a later time.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    No way is this a call, yeah you get 8-1 on the call but he is going to show up like less than 1% of the time with a hand we beat - making it a CLEAR fold.

    It looks like a) You are running very very bad or b) Your game needs some major adjustments. I think it is probably the latter, but I'm no good at deciphering the stats. Here are mine over a similar sample.

    LOL, call $5 to win $40, I make this call all day, every day, and twice on Sundays with K-high

    The thing is, the betting that got us there is whacked, because of the effective stacks

    You should never be in this situation, but once there, folding is bad



    IOW, think about the effective stacks next time before two-barrell semibluffing and third-barrell hail mary

    I bet 10 on the river specifically so I could fold and save 5 bucks to a push. My thinking

    A) If he was drawing and missed he can't call
    B) He should know he has no chance of me folding if he pushes with a missed draw
    C) I'm not calling 8:1 with K high there ever.

    I'm pretty sure it's both. One leak I found was I am losing money overall whenever I call preflop. Simple solution, call less. I'll probably start playing 18/15 instead of 22/15. In fact, since posting this I've switched to that game and I've been winning over 2k hands with it, so looking good at first.

    I'm running bad, like usual, there's no doubt about that.

    There doesn't seem to be many opportunities to c/r at these stakes...i could be wrong though.

    It's only good if we think we are ahead more than 11% of the time, which is never. Otherwise we are just blowing another $5. If you can convince me Villain is bluffing with less than king high >11% then go for it.

    Hands 1-4 are fine, try only playing PPs, AQ and AK UTG
