Raise way more pre please. raise turn

It's really bad to make this preflop reraise without more information about your villian. Short stacks like this will end up shoving their stack more often if they realize you're reraising with looser holdings. It ends up putting you in an ugly spot, where you'll end up folding most of the time. Save reraising with QTo until you know a villian's VPIP is 50+. Also, since you're only in your 5th hand in, you could keep the pot low, so you get to see what the villian is holding and get an idea of how you should handle him in the future. Pay attention if he was betting with air, one pair, draws, betting low with the nuts, etc.

As played raise the turn as bgomez suggested.

You know we just raised pre right torrey?

Torrey was pretty clear with his answer i guess.
To:Bgomez89. 3x BB isn't enough to raise with QTo in late position?

You guessed wrong.

Make it $0.10 preflop, $0.33 on the turn as played.

3x is a standard open raise at higher stakes but at 2nl your standard open should be at least 4-5x and you have to add one more per limper. So in this hand one guy open limped so your raise shouldve been .10-.12 cents

yep raise to 10, 95 percent of the time when villain donk bets into you on a board like 55Q he hasnt hit the 5 especially at 2nl where hardly any fish are going to bet out a set there... so im raising flop and if he bets the same amount on the turn this is generally speaking weak, it happens lots at the micros imo.

Why did you think what I wrote was incorrect? You advocate playing QTo on your 5th hand without knowing any villian tendancies and stats at the table? It's a break even hand unless you're against a loose or very loose player.

You were telling OP not to reraise in this spot. Read the OP again and you will find that we have just open raised over a limper...

As was said earlier, raise more pre, raise flop and stacks will be in by the turn...

Yes. There are two super profitable spots playing NLHE that have nothing to do with your cards. They are:

1) Stealing from the button.
2) Isolating limpers in position.

You can do this with any two cards that look non-horrible, and you don't need any reads to do it. Make these two plays whenever possible until another player gives you a damn good reason not to.

There, I just improved your win rate by 2bb/100.

:facepalm:, Raising QTo is so standard here think about it:

1) he open limped
2)he's short stacked so he's not smart
3) We have position
4) Our hand has pretty good equity against his range and you're forgetting about the times where he does have a better hand than we do but folds to a cbet.
5) when we hit TP we're usually good and can vbet accordingly
6)isoing limpers is fun

hey maybe you can come to one of my tables next time

Let's keep this about the hand and not about what stakes people play please.

dude c9 is def a fantastic player. How can you judge someone from 37 hands? (Answer=you can't) watch some videos he made in the golden archive and see how your thought process compares to his
