you are not giving us enough info on the villain. so on first hand I have no idea if you should shove or fold, but on the second hand you have to bet the turn and bet the river, fold to a raise.

I only have like 72 hands. villian is very loose 54/10 and aggressive 3.83.

Actually if you can give me several case to deal with different situation that will be great.
As you can see I am really not sure what is the right bet size and pattern for aa.

Thank you for you reply on the second one. Did I bet too much on the flop.

Hand 1 is fine.

Hand 2 bet the turn. That's like the most innocuous card in the deck.

Hand one, I agree with the responses that say fine. If he is that loose, he will re raise with so many hands that you beat.

Hand 2, also. bet the turn. Your flop bet is ok, as long as you plan on betting a card OTT like that 4. You want to keep building here and not let him have a free card.

(A small derail, but I think fits ITT still)
@ Aldito. I keep my bet sizing the same most of the time. I have been thinking about this, at 10nl, I face a lot of regs. I ran 18/15 am now maybe 19/16 so trying to loosen up. But vs a reg wont changing bet size - for me - be too exploitable? OK, 10nl and all that, but wont the better regs check it? Vs fish I raise bigger, and vs agro I sometimes limp, like I had a 90/60, something insane like that, I would almost always limp OOP vs him.

Or am I out leveling 10nl??

First off, don't limp. Secondly, why would we choose to limp if we have a guy playing 90% of his hands behind us???

And to the exploitable about bet sizing things. Idk what network your on (assume PS) but at 10nl the player base is far too wide to even worry about it imo. However, as you begin to play vs regs day in and day out then you def shouldnt' be adjusting your raise size on the value of your cards. For example, say you steal 2.5x on the button when there's regs in the blinds and we steal one hand with Q8s and the next hand in that situation we have AA. Then we shouldn't be adjusting our sizing and should keep it to 2.5x

This guy was attacking limps with raises as well as open raising a lot, and I decided to limp AA and got him all in. I do see, however, what you mean vs him. But he was not 3 betting a lot pre, so I though limp/raise would work better than raise/call, and this time it did. It is the absolute exception tho, since I rarely open limp, and then have to have a good reason why I think it is a good idea.

And, yea, I mean stars. I have 2-3 k hands on some guys, and those were the ones I meant about bet size.

That is interesting. I never limped aa. However when with a agro I sometimes checked the flop or flat call him pre.Even limp is right I do not think it will make a big profit.

So let''s focus on the flop.

like on the first example if the board is TQK or even TJA and the villian is tight not loose. Should I all in? I have the experience that in this wet board if I am all in, the only hand call me will be the one beat me.Did you guy have the same experience? should I maybe bet like half of my stack? If he all in I definitely know I have been beaten.

by the way the villian has 78 making the str, but I made the right decision.
