Your open pre is too loose. Check the flop. Check/fold the turn. Check/fold the river.

You should have given up at every opportunity.

Not even close.

congrats on the win + you did read your op good
!BUT opening A5o UTG 0_o I dont see this as a good play in the long run, ~55% of hands beat you.

Truth friends!

Thank u!

But I do not always play well, almost never open A5 UTG. But I know that even with the high was winning this villain in particular.

But still it was a very risky move, which I think I played forward, maybe even well ...

I do not understand, because he played this A5 for value?

You said it yourself , it was a very risky loose move that was lucky enough to win this hand , maybe cause you had good read of your villain . Avoid doing it . Either way , I enjoyed watching this hand , especially the river bet , betting 0.92 in a pot of 1.02 with 0.77 left in your stack , which did it job , to confuse the opponent and make him fold .

I agree with the above comments , A5 isn´t a good hand to defend in that position. In NL2 I used to play this hands at least in a good table position, the CBet is hard to do in this board, even if the player is a CallingStation. The point is, that you made a great move in the river, putting the correct pression.

This is so true and will be the difference between repeated deposits at 2nl and making money and moving up.Learn where the fold button is and play in position . 2nl players don't know where the fold button is when they hit the board ,so you probably hit the 25% of the time when he had a flush/straight draw and win a small pot compared to the 75% of the time where you lose a large pot by taking this line. Once you start to understand this , you will start to build a bankroll and move up through the limits.

Plays like this is reason I suck in poker. 300 hands profit just disapear in one hand, when I decide he is weak, well he is weak, but doesen't fold.

Should've folded A5o UTG.

The flop was bad for your hand, and you're multiway out of position against a calling station. Don't cbet, just check/fold.

The turn did nothing, and calling station will continue to call. Still check/fold.

The river continues to change nothing. Still check/fold. If he was on a heart draw, the river goes check check and you win with A high anyways. You're very lucky you didn't get called down.

You don't have to do anything fancy to beat 2NL. You don't need to steal blinds with trash, you don't need to multi-barrel bluff, you don't need to 3bet light, and you don't need to value bet thin.

Open quality starting hands in position preflop. If you miss the flop and you're heads up, cbet the flop. Give up on the turn if you don't improve. If you hit top pair or better, value bet all 3 streets. If you get raised by a loose-passive fish on the turn or river, fold anything less than trips with a good kicker.

Don't be fancy :)
Microstakes is all about hitting top pair + good kicker or better and getting maximum value.
