I have been recently mainly playing 200NL at my local card room and after two weeks of daily 5-6 hour sessions I found myself struggling with AJ-AQ even AK sometimes OOP. Here is an example of 2 hands that I recently played:
Hand #1:
I was holding AQo UTG. I open for $10. UTG+1, MP1, and BTN call.
The flop comes: J 9 9 rainbow.
I check. UTG+1 bets $15. I fold.
Hand #2:
I was holding AKo UTG again. I open for $10. UTG+1, CO, and BTN call.
The flop comes: Q:club: 2:club: 2:spade:
I check. UTG+1 bets $12. CO folds, BTN calls and I fold.
P.S.
I am a TAG player. When seated at a tight table I get respect and when I'm at a loose table I get action. When I open at a loose table I get 3-4 callers on average so I usually bet when I hit and fold when I don't connect with the board. Most callers' ranges connect with boards that I miss. When I'm heads up then I c-bet more often compared to playing pots multiway where the likelihood of someone hitting is much higher compared to playing a pot heads up. Any thoughts on this approach?
