Currently, I don't use any tool. I don't play too many table at a time, I simply go by observation and keep on making notes (when I get a solid read).

Here's one of the hand, I think I made a mistake by not betting on the river , especially when no one bet of the turn.

Poker Stars $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em - 8 players -

UTG: $2.01
UTG+1: $2.11
MP1: $2.09
MP2: $0.27
CO: $1.60
BTN: $2.00
SB: $4.28
Hero (BB): $3.20

CO posts a big blind ($0.02)

Pre Flop: ($0.05) Hero is BB with 8c 9s
UTG raises to $0.06, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.06, CO calls $0.04, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.04

Flop: ($0.25) Ad Qc Tc (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP2 checks, CO checks

Turn: ($0.25) 9d (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP2 checks, CO checks

River: ($0.25) 8h (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP2 checks, CO checks

Final Pot: $0.25
UTG mucks Kd Qs
MP2 mucks 4s 7s
CO mucks 4h Qh
Hero shows 8c 9s (two pair, Nines and Eights)
Hero wins $0.24
(Rake: $0.01)

Fold pre-flop. As played, you'd assume someone would bet a J on the turn, but you never know at these stakes. I think if there were less people you should be bet/folding the river, but with that many people a c/c is probably fine if it comes from one of the last players in.

Fold pre.

This has been a leak in my game and ive been plugging away at it hard, don't put yourself in these types of spots.

If you get massive draws it's not too bad but when you hit top pair with a weak kicker. Your going to win small pots but lose big pots if your not careful.

Avoid playing marginal hands OOP and yes i'm taking this advice as well as everyone else who reads this should :)

Easy to say bet the river after you win the hand. But most likely no value betting here, everyones folding or calling or raising when your beat. Often people don't lie with checking flop/turn usually no one has anything, but theres always a chance a weird wacky hand will wakeup river.

So check check i'm happy with.


Hope you noted how wide MP2 called. KQoff is a touch wide as well.. interesting.
