I don't mind defending with K-9 here pre. Against a guy with a half stack in the CO (for some reason people with less than 100 BB are usually weaker players IMHO), I think we can navigate well post...


However, I fold flop. If we C/R, and I am saying if we C/R, if he calls, he's not folding after that. And C/R should be bigger. Like 2.5x~3x. However, we are saying we have 3x here, and if V doesnt buy it, we are lighting money on fire.

Not to mention, if we think there's a possibility V is a weak player (based on fishy stack size) he is gonna call, and call some more. Not a great target for bluffing.

So, we just avoid the cage. Fold flop, or C/R bigger. I just fold flop. On to the next hand.

This is a bad board to raise. Your raise size isnt big enough.

About a month ago I was at 2nl. I have just come back from america so restarted with the $20 in my account. I have grinded up through the limits recently and now play 25nl/50nl but should be higher soon. I recommend playing standard, hit when you have it, fold when you dont at 2nl and 5nl. 10nl gets a bit tastier but still keep it fairly simple.

I remember one wake up call for me was where I called down what I thought looked a very bluff heavy bet. At 50nl or 100nl then it may make sense to call but the villain had second pair and was clueless (except he value-towned me). Don't over play at the micros. It is not as profitable.

Only 5 hands of data here. What gave you the impression that his hand was weak? I dont think im leading the turn here when he has called the c/r on the flop.

Sure. $0.50 is fine. But usually if we C/R here, we have something to fall back on. We have nothing. 1 over, no draw. Fold.

Dude, this is micros. Not necessary. Just C/F. On to the next hand. Where's Duggs and Marginal to call me a nit?

I avoid trying to bluff players that start hands 50bb deep. Also lets choose a better board to bluff on where we have 2 overs, back door flush/straight draws or something.

Villain starts the hand with 56 bb. This indicates that he is a fish. Fish rarely fold to check-minraises. And after he calls your turn bet, he's definitely not folding to a river bet in my experience.

someone want to guess villains hand?


I dunno. 3-3? 10-10? PP? It can't be 2-2, can it? Does he have some Q high? Like Qc-Xc? That wouldn't make sense because he called river though.....

He's either nutted or super weak. I got nothin.
