Firs hand of any real interest of the session. One limper and a nice size raise taking that into account, and he calls with what likely is a medium/small pair on a set mine. Most c-bets take this on the flop.

Pokerstars rigges the pot and gives you 5c less L The pre-flop raise is fine and we get called. Flop top pair with a shitty kicker, and we bet $1. Hmmm I think that we have to bet a little more here on this flop, for a little protection, we are allowing A-x to draw cheaply as well as the potential flush draws out there. Again a little too light on the turn, the river was fine, against the most active fish on the table.

Again we raise with a decent ace, this time we get 2 callers. I think I like the fact that we shut down here. Against a single player we can c-bet more liberally, against 2 its less successful.

Hmmm, dunno about this. QJ is a notorious trouble hand to be playing UTG+1. Its fine as a mix to your play, but in honesty I don’t think that there is much need to be messing around with it from EP on nl$25. We can get In way too deep if we flop top pair type hands with it. C-bet is again on the small side, under half the pot. It looks value-ish but lots of hands will call, that’s not what you want.

Hands 6-10

Once again the flop c-bet is too small. The pot is $2.75 and we bet $1, waayyyy to weak, you almost as well off not bothering as doing this. Bet almost $2 here if you gonna c-bet. This time we get raised, withir it’s just a good read as we get check raised with air is anyone’s guess. It looks like a scared bet, and this flop is unlikely to have helped our opponent. Anyway we gotta toss it.

Nice hand. Raising with the Q10c is fine, this time we flop a monster. This time we slow play, again the flop bet is too small and stinks of value to me. I think this is a mistake, villian is handing us multiple opportunities go get chips in the middle, re-raise that flop lots. Any other club is a disaster for us, and we have it on the turn, it either fills the Ace/King or kills any action we get. I bet this for value, it encourages our opponents to raise us, just like what happened a few hands back. Check/call mode from the turn on is fine.

A gut-shot, a back door flush draw and 2 unders. Not the ideal spot to be putting money into a raised pot 3 handed, I just take the free card and hope to fill on the turn, pre-flop is fine, but as a nut-mine with position. We get this weak bet raised lots, its fine as a positional bluff, but again bet more, good players will start to spot this pattern.

Raising QJ from UTG+1 and folding A8 on the button ? You are in the prime seat at the table, with likely the best hand. Pick off that limper Sir.

Again marginal hand to be raising UTG, but fine if your post flop play is up to scratch. Flop bet is too small again, this is an incredibly draw heavy board and we need to make our opponents call incorrect bets with them.

Nice hand, good raise pre-flop. But what this on the flop ? We bet more confidently, because we have a hand we want to play. This is telegraphing you hand strength, and its something you need to avoid doing, its not the fault of this hand, just the previous ones. Once you get to a level with a decent number of reg’s this pattern will be spotted. Ie nl$50.

I perfer calling pre-flop rather than raising here. You flop a set and again go back to the small bets on the flop. This board is isead for you and after the flop we gotta put him on a King or a flush draw. Unlucky he was on the draw.

Again raising a marginal hand UTG+1, another trouble hand that you should avoid from playing in EP. Raising this from the button/CO is fine, but id recommend folding this hand pre-flop.

I raise this pre-flop or bet the flop lots and lots. On the flop the villian has shown weakness twice. Betting at these pots adds nicely to your winrate.

Why do we need to raise a hand like this ? Just fold it, most of the players at this level fail to realise this mixing up type stuff. You should be playing for pure value at these limits. As a button, C/O steal its better, not from MP.

Hmmm fine. We take a stab and it when it dosnt work we shut down.

Cliff notes :

All in all a solid session. There is a few obvious leaks though, Ive mentioned it a few times in the analysis. The vast majority of your c-bets are too small, and your value bets differ. You are letting you opponents draw very cheaply against you too often.

Stop playing marginal stuff like KJ/QJ from EP, these hands work MUCH better from late position when you can punish the limpers or when you use them as nut mine type hands. Just start folding them pre-flop.

The main think to work on is your c-bet sizing. Decent session though, and good table selection.
