$5 NL HE Full Ring: $5 NL HE Full Ring: Perhaps not a great spot to fire a C-bet!

Hello again People! Just a few hands whittle dowm from a great many troublesome spots from the last 2000 or so played. I tried to include HUD stats but PTS was not cooporating! If you assume the average for the levels I play of about 21/9 with a steal% of 19 unless I indicate otherwise we shouldnt be far off the mark!

I wouldve prob raised 5X preflop.

I wouldnt have c-bet this brd for the same reasons I gave in the other hand. Villain is peeling with a huge range here.

As played Id have folded too.

agreed with darkside. Make your standard raise 4-5xbb preflop so that means with a 1 limper your minimum raise should be 10cents or 12 cents. Im not going to c-bet this flop because villain is not folding too often because those are the kind of cards he's playing or he'll have some kind of straight draw. Well played OP other than the flop though

standard raise for 2nl=5bb, since you will get calls anyway.
