[Pino_Diablo]

not really, you play looser than i do.
#19 i wouldn't have pushed with squat on the flop, though

[taipan168]

Couple of overall comments:
- You're slowplaying too much on drawy boards. $3.40 players tend to be calling stations, so BET/RAISE to maximise the amount you win.
- Don't play marginal hands when you'll be OOP postflop. Hand 9 was a great example of the trouble this can cause you.
- Your bet sizing needs some work (this is related to slowplaying). I'd c-bet generally 1/2-2/3 of the pot rather than less than 1/2 the pot. There were also other spots where you bet like 30% of the pot, which is generally pointless unless you have the lock hand and want to sweeten the pot.

2. QTs - I wouldn't even bother calling here. If it was limped to you I would definitely complete but I wouldn't call here even with the two callers in front. Your flop call is kind of marginal and illustrates the difficult spots you can be in when you call raises with marginal hands.

3. QQ - shove over opp's big raise on the flop rather than flatting. He's not folding for another 590 after putting in that big raise. What happens if another heart comes on the turn? BTW, make a note on this guy that this sort of pot-committing raise can be a bluff.

4. KJo - fold preflop even to a button raise, you're OOP postflop and this hand can have seriously bad reverse implied odds. As played, it's fine, although I'm obviously far from delighted on a monotone flop.

7. A9o - I fold this hand from UTG

8. K9o - just fold preflop, why raise this hand from the SB with an UTG limper? You'll be OOP postflop. As played, I really hate your flop bet on that board, it's a bad board and your 1/3 bet will rarely take the pot down. Just check/fold and move on. Your river bet is a waste of chips too, particularly when the draw came in and you're OOP! Take this hand as a good lesson about the disadvantage of being in bad position.

9. A8o - fine, pretty much instacall for me

10. A8s - preflop is fine, I probably make it 250 rather than 300 though. On the flop, I just shove over and be done with it. Don't slowplay top and bottom pair with a draw on the board! As played I would shove over on the turn. It's weird that the time you choose to get your chips in is when your hand has been counterfeited on the river.

11. AKo - raise a little more preflop, 450 seems good. Flop is good, no reason to slowplay in this spot.

13. J9o - it's OK, again I make it 250 preflop and I probably bet like 400 on the flop to give yourself a bit more fold equity.

3 K Button (Hero's M = 50.60; f+F+r+f) (between 13 and 14) - I probably raise this

14. J7o - fold preflop, you fold a better hand on the button and raise this from UTG?

15. A8o - preflop is fine, but I'd bet the flop a little harder. Other than that checking down is the right move I think

6 K Button (Hero's M = 46.93; f+F+c+s+s+s+b+f) (between 15 and 16) - I'd raise this

16. JJ - this flop is one of the very few ones where you can slowplay since it's so dry. Flop is therefore fine, but on the turn I'd bet something, even if it's like 4-500 or so. Opp has so much of his stack in the pot that he is unlikely to fold. On the river, same difference but I raise enough to put him AI without shoving.

17. A6s - I make it 500 to go with his limp in front. As played, I think checking the flop rather than c-betting is the right move.

19. AKo - Shove over preflop, if you 3-bet less than all-in and miss the flop you're in a bad spot. As played I guess the shove is fine, you haven't much choice at this stage.

20. QJo - Jeez, will you stop slowplaying?!?!?! Put in a raise on the flop to like 1200 or so and take it from there. As played, I think you're fine to go broke with top pair good kicker.

Thanks both of you for taking the time to respond and for your comments.

@Tai. I never slowplay a hand weaker than a full house or play marginal hands OOP. Except that I do, as you pointed out. It just shows that we or I, at least, have selective vision and its amazing what someone else can see that you can't yourself. It's a great help thanks.

On hand #19 AKo: I did think about shoving all in preflop, but I thought I had too many chips and it might be more scary to 3 Bet, but I can see now that I just gave him 3 cards to beat me.

What do you think of this play if my hand had been a pair say 99+? If the villain has 1 or 2 overcards and you shove preflop, you allow him 5 cards to beat you. But if I just 3 bet and shove the flop, then its hard for him to continue if he doesn't hit the flop. Or am I just looking for a new way to slowplay?

I don't think it's a new way to slowplay. It's just that I think he calls a shove with a lot of hands you beat (he would definitely have called with his A7s) and shoving preflop stops you having to make a difficult flop decision. Looking over the hand, I don't hate your "go and go" but I still have a preference for shoving preflop.

If you had a pair like 55-99 I would definitely just shove over. I'd probably be looking for at least TT/JJ to 3-bet as you did since those hands are far less vulnerable to overcards.

[linaker]

Thanks. I will try that move with TT+
