ZOOM POKER

I lost the hand in the hand history but I remember it well. I was bummed but I was 99% sure I was going to win. Oh well

UTG Hero ($5.50)
Button Villain ($4.50)

Hero dealt KJo. Raises $0.06
Villain calls.

Flop (As Qh 10d)
Hero checks
Villain checks

Turn (9d)
Hero bets $0.02c
Villain raises 0.10
Hero calls

River (4d)
Hero bets 0.15c
Villain raises 0.40c
Hero shoves
Villain calls

Board (As Qh 10d 9d 4d)
Hero shows straight 10 to ace
Villain shows flush Jack high


When he re-raised my turn I new he had to have hit something. I was thinking two pair or straight. With his re-raise on the turn it made his river card not look like he got much stronger. A few of my nut hands have busted on the river lately but this one annoyed me. The 3rd diamond didn't make me scared of a flush but maybe I should have been?

Please bet flop, there are a lot of turn cards that can kill the action, for example any J or any K, do you think that semi descent player would ceep calling pair on a 4str8 board? also against a range that is pretty wide he can easily have broadways so another K or J can also leand to a split.
bet flop, bet turn, if raised, reraise.
i dont know how big the pot is on the turn but your min bet is way too low, why would you do that? bet 2/3 pot if you checked flop thats fine but there is no time any more to slow play, as played on turn when you got raised, re raise outcome is irelevant...

Well man you already got nuts but played it wrong... flop you checked fine, you lost some value/ but turn card comes diamond, you must pay attention, another diamond probably crash your nuts, so when villain raise you must reraise - defend your hand.

Fold pre UTG with KJo. In 6max it's a fold so in zoom this should definitely be a fold.

As played your bet sizing is off. A typical bet is about 2/3-3/4 pot. Work on your bet sizing and get that under control. You may find that you're not loosing so many big pots that way. Also play a tighter range especially in zoom for the same reason.

Best advice you'll get in this thread: stop playing poker for money until you are better.

You are currently really bad.

Yep, i agree with previous oppinions:
1st. KJos utg is no-no for the conditions of the table
2nd. No play agressive after made first no-no and that kind of wet flop is a no-no too
3rd. You see then that was a chain on mistakes ending badly
I play utg for 2 reasons: i have a very strong hand or i'm playing bad. If a made the mistake to bet with bad hand, usually i try to defend it in flop with agressivness, but also usually, the lost are bigger.
This line of thinking don't consider if you have tracking with hud or any other tool the tables when you play so don't consider if you have enough knowledge of your villain skills. Greetings

Well I've made $40 in 2nl in a month so I mustn't be that "bad" this was just an honest mistake. I know how to play hands that have the nuts, I was just trying something different and it didn't work out. Don't be such a negative person

I think people forget that we're only posting a small sample of hands here and then they take that as representing the majority of our play.

Its six max kj is perfectly fine to open utg, you can fold it, but definitely don't hate the open. I would of bet the flop, if he doesn't have an ace on the flop it isn't likely your getting much value anyways, on the river you definitely can not reraise.

This may be it, me over reacting to things. But you're just screwing up elementary things. If you couldn't do addition, I wouldn't tell you to enter a math contest.

true, but now's where he learns how to get better at math instead of being told to never do math again.
this hand is definitely a complete disaster though...


James:
standard bet size should be 2/3 pot to whole pot. should almost never minraise.... except while you're learning pretty much just dont min-raise. youd be better off checking than min-raising.

Bet .08 to .12 on the flop.
dont slowplay, you will get drawn out on by a better hand.

and then bet big on the turn.

if he still draws out on you then you can chalk it up to bad luck, but if you are allowing him to take such good pot odds, then it is a bad play.


slowplaying kills. just dont do it.
every time you slowplay, hitler kicks a puppy

He's playing 2nl, he's going to screw up elementary things.

Don't be a spirit crusher c9... he's trying to learn.

Anyways, OP, just bet flop. You want to bet the flop because if you don't get flop action, it's unlikely you'll get anymore action later in the hand. Also 3-bet the turn. River jam is marginal. It depends on how bad your opponent is. Also pre-flop is questionable.

Yeah, I maybe assume I had less leaks when I played 2NL. But I played free rolls and 10c entry donkaments for a long time before I played 2NL (never deposited). I suppose he'll learn faster at 2nl, but it'll cost more.

Actual hand advice: Microbetting the turn (or ever) is horrible.

c9 why do you just shit on people? It's not cool. Please stop.

This hand could be played a lot better and the comments above give good insight into how. Constructive criticism goes a lot further imho.
