100% fist pump snap call!! What beats you??? AA, TT , 52- do you really think villain ever has 52 here playing utg? Most likely 2 pair. also after you bet the river you have to call.

bet 2/3rds on turn, or at least 1.95$; I usually make it 2.50$ there.

You should be betting more on the turn so you can ship the river.

So which was it, 56 or AA?

I suppose you're correct. 60c just seemed like a standard c-bet. But yes, a fold on the flop was the right thing to do here.

Oh sorry i thought this was a 3bet pot, ignore that. Calling flop isn't terrible if you think he will give up after one! If he's likely to cause any trouble and keep betting then i'd just fold though as it'll be a bit tricky to play oop and we dont know if the the other guy caught any of it either.

Hero learns to not donk $1 on the turn thinking he is all trickster and instead check raises all in and gets his money in ahead

The best thing to do at this stage of your poker development is spend some dedicated time away from the poker table to break down opponents hand ranges and start counting some combos of hands. Can't under state how important it is.

Let's hypothetically say you spend 1-2 hours a week ONLY doing this without playing. But within 2-3 months, your winrate increases by 1-5bb/100. The time you spent studying, and not playing is going to pay for itself fast.

Hand ranges, combos, and your approximate equity. Getting your head wrapped around this so you feel really comfortable with your decisions is HUGE.

Simple drill I have students do. After a session, go into your database and look at hands from ~2 month or so ago. Filter by your biggest losses that went to showdown. Hide your opponents cards in your replayer. Re-play the hand, start guessing and writing down hand ranges for your opponent. Take a guess at your equity. Re-play the hand with the results so you can see the actual hand. Punch the hand into your favorite equity calculator with the hand ranges so you can see the answer.

This will do multiple things. 1) It will get you thinking in terms of hands and combos so in real time it becomes more natural and instinctual. 2) You'll think about how that translates to equity - because your equity should dictate what action you take - raise for value, bluff, fold, bet, call, etc... 3) You'll see the action that occurred, and be able to know the real equity and how it translated to the assumed equity (your constructed hand range). The more you see all of these in the same place, the better you're going to become.

So Your saying

1st thing look at stack size of opp.

2nd , type of opp and what pos the opp opened or came in from. So we can put them on a pretty close hand range of what we think they might have.?

Stack size, where they open (how all the action developed on each street) and type of opponent is part of constructing a hand range, yes. Those are the only clues we have to solving our poker variable.

Thank you John for some very solid advice. I appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback. I can definitely use some time away from the tables to study and review my HH.

This was the only hand that made any negative effect on my BR today. I managed to win back the initial $8.70, along with earning two more buy-ins, before ending the session. I'm sure there were quite a few trouble hands I neglected to remember due to them not impacting my roll like the one above. But I will actually take your advice and spend some time studying my entire game.

Thanks again everyone.

Yeah I don't think the flop call is too bad but do you have any reads on mp1?
There is something wrong with the turn I think. I can see why you donked because 7 is sort of a blank and mp1 probably checks back a bunch of the time with missed overs and you still want to charge other pairs. Actually I'm kind of convinced donking is best and I like the bet sizing too.

River is obv a snap

I was confident MP+1 was opening with two overs, because other times I had seen him go to showdown w/ PP, he'd be opening ruffly 4-5x instead.

Should I often be folding out a lot of mid/low PP here or raising with them?
