I'm still not done reviewing my second session from last time, but I wanted to play. So I'm playing now and posting hands as I go along. As zoom was really making it hard to make decisions I went back to a single cash game, while playing the elementary league for fun.
I try to find tables where people sit down with 0.80$. Once 2 people leave I leave too because ranges should change when 4 handed and I don't know how to adapt exactly.
bankroll from 29.24$ to 30.19$ (10c bonus from card match game).
Hand 1: AK. Not sure I should have 4bet since we were 3-4handed, but my reasoning was to isolate and see a flop.
Hand 2: Opponent is a fish. But I don't know how agressive he is when he hits something, I haven't seen many showdowns.
You can review this before knowing what I did on the river.
What I did:
Hand 3: Tight player, so lots of aces and pp in his range. I figured folding was the better option. Is there sometimes an argument to be made to call/bluff?
I haven't played many hands today (daughter is awake now), but I've already been able to change my playstyle consciously (in some specific spots) compared to last time. Thanks for helping me out guys!

Hand 1, I think I would do a similar thing at 2NL if you know the players pretty well.
Squeeze might be a bit big. Can't you shove there or only the call option is available? If shoving was available I think I'd shove otherwise fold on flop.
I might be wrong here.
At 5NL right now, I'd get away pre or flat.
Hand 2, odds are too decent to get away plus there's no point. Don't hesitate at this point. You've got two pair plus decent kicker. It's not like he's overbetting. Call it down.
Hand 3, insta fold pre. A9s is crap as it could get UTG. My opening for suited aces ends at A10 & unsuited AQ at UTG.
I'd sat don't cbet on flop even. Specially in a multiway pot cause the odds of you improving your hand are veyy low.
Plus your flop cbetting sizes are small. make it around 2/3 standard. Has been working pretty well for me.

Hand 1: Yeah shove was unavailable.
Hand 3: Ok, I'll try to put my limit at ATs.
I find bet sizing at the flop really hard. Is there any good guide out there to know when to bet big or small? I've heard there's a difference for wet and dry boards, but I don't know man. I'll follow your advice for now
Thanks for responding!

Check out post number #74 on page 3 of my journal by Figaroo.
He told me to pump up my cbets to 2/3rd. And it has been very easy after that. Most of the times cbets gets folds even if I have no equity at all.
And don't try to mix up your cbet sizing depending on the board texture & hand strength. It makes you exploitable.
Like if you bet low on a wet board & bet big on a dry board, a good player will notice these things and will use them against you.

Back with another session. Found some fish so far. Was pretty easy to get some money from them, as I only got unlucky once so far.
Bankroll from 27.43 to 30.04
Some hands.
Hand 1: Do you guys sometimes call 3bets here? ATo seemed bad. BTN seemed like a decent player, SB not so much (even before this hand)
Hand 2: This was weird. I guess I had a hunch.
Hand 3: I hesitated during this hand. I called the flop because I figured I could bluff him if he checked the turn, also the cbet seemed quite weak. But then I got scared and didn't. It seems like he's representing AK. Not sure though. Is calling the 3bet ok in this spot?
Hand 4: How do we optimally play the river? Try to trap with a check? Was the overbet ok? Or do we simply valuebet? I don't really know how to play these spots.
Hand 5: Should I Fold the turn? Or call the river? I feel like it's one or the other. But probaly fold earlier.

Hand 3: I hesitated during this hand. I called the flop because I figured I could bluff him if he checked the turn, also the cbet seemed quite weak. But then I got scared and didn't. It seems like he's representing AK. Not sure though. Is calling the 3bet ok in this spot?

1. ATo
try playing around with equilab and put in various 3bet % as one range and then put individual hands in as another player and start to get an idea of what sort of hands you need to still have decent equity against each 3bet range
i.e in this situation its ATo vs 8%

Equity Win Tie
MP2 65.22% 62.79% 2.44% { 88+, ATs+, KTs+, QJs, AJo+ }
MP3 34.78% 32.34% 2.44% { ATo }
once you've done that start and think why the hand fares well/poorly against that particular range. In this cas you will be up against a lot of AK AQ AJ type hands that have you crushed if you hit your ace together with overpairs to your bottom card. effectively giving you 3 outs to your Ace and when you hit it , you are going to hate life and not want to get into a big pot.
hand 2 raise flop bigger and fold to the reraise on the monotone board.
hand 3 fold to the squeeze, fold flop
hand 4 3bet or fold pre , not likely to hit the flop often enough and going to be out of position so will likely have to fold to a cbet. As played on river you are only likely to get called up to ~40% of pot. only a T is calling , and flushes likely fold.

I mix up my c-bets from 45% to 2/3,,,you would`t believe how many folds i get with 45%.I find nothing a villian hates more then being `fished` along,,,but when to do it takes experience and yes,i can see it being exploited.

I definitely do in tourneys. I'm speaking cash games. And 2/3 the flop cbets.
For one you aren't getting enough value if you cbet lower & second you are giving the V a very cheap price to float through & catch a draw.
In tourneys it's different though cause of the stack sizes.
Hand 4 - As Keith said, 3bet or fold. One thing John has said to me is make a habit of 3betting or folding instead of flatting in the SB. It makes so much sense cause of the positional disadvantage. I flat sometimes against early positions with pockets but it doesn't go well. But I flat under-repping my hand like AK against early positions & it works out. Your range in SB should be very tight at some spots, but could make it a bit wide 3betting against BTN & CO. But don't let them notice this. It's a bit easier in zoom.
Hand 5 is similar. Very tough spot. Depends on the V I guess. A place where V could bluff you with any two cards with some aggression.

Hand 3:
Don't float with a vague plan to bluff turn if checked to. We have BDFD on the flop, and that's about all. Fold pre.
You should generally avoid bluffing with very little chance of improving. We don't stone bluff often, without a fantastic read. And bluffing at $2 NL is gonna be pretty tough. These people prob don't fold. That's why they play $2 NL, that's why the game is so easy to beat, because people call way too much with shitty hands and they are crushed. If you are gonna bluff, do it with an OESD on rainbow board, a NFD, on non paired board, or two overs BDFD.
We need something to fall back on, if called. And wet boards aren't good boards to attack, unless we have tons of outs like OESD+FD. The same goes for floating. However, if we call this 3b pre (we shouldn't), we should be hoping to flop 2p or NFD, or a wheel. Not flop an ace and wonder if it's good.
The point of a hand like Ad-3d is to make a 5 card poker hand, flush, straight, boat. All of those are pretty tough to make with this particular hand, flush is probably the easiest. However, if played passive, we prob don't get paid much from a flush, cause people worry about flushes so much. Just fold pre here. Calling pre torching money. Floating flop on paired board with one over and BDFD torching money. Don't do that.
I am only trying to help. Beginners and players who make alot of mistakes, call too much pre, and the take their hands to far after the flop.
And trying to float on 10-10-3r is and example of this. These are leaks. It all starts with one bad decision pre, then another bad decision on the flop, and then it just gets away from us.
What are we really going to flop with A-3s? A flush or FD. Even hitting A-3-X is still vulnerable.
If you are gonna call 3b with spec hands, make them PP to setmine, or SCs with 20 or 30 to 1 implied odds.
Setmine 10 to 1 min.
SCs 20 to 1 min
SGs 30 to 1 min implied odds.
We are dominated so often with Ad-3d, and we should be folding pre as played. Poker is a tough game. We can't be playing passive and giving chips away.
You'd be better off raising flop, than calling. But this is $2 NL. These people aren't wizards 3b you light pre. They probably aren't squeezing either. Most likely they have a good hand.
One of the things I believe are important (maybe most important) at micros and low stakes live games is not paying people off. We can not give money away. We can not call 3b with A-3s. Calling is bad. The call of UTG open is loose. The call of the 3b is just lighting money on fire man.
The hands we should be calling here are basically PPs (if we have like 10 to 1 implied odds, i prefer 15x back for setmine). Anything else, even SCs, should be reserved for deep stacks, and frankly, I don't think you are ready for postflop navigation in tricky spots with SCs and gappers just yet.
Generally, we should be the ones applying the pressure, not reacting to it. If we are calling, calling, we can't win unless we show down a winning hand. If you aren't the aggressor, things can get out of hand quick.
So, my advice to you would be stop calling and playing passive. This doesn't mean go around 3b people all the time either.
An example would be, I am opening A-Jo most times, from EP on. I play live. People are loose. But, if someone else opens, I am not calling pre with A-Jo. It changes things. People at $2 NL are going to be pretty passive. They may open light, and some of them spew, but most of the time, they open hands that are really good. This means to call or 3b them, you gotta have a really good hand, or a hand that can flop huge, and be disguised, like a set.
If we know some dude is out of line, maybe we 3b him with AJo, but until you get some experience with post flop play, and hand reading, keep it simple. Raise good hands. Have better hands to call or 3b someone else's open.
Hand 1: A-10o.
No. Fold. Well played. We are not calling here. Just let it go. It's fine to open CO with this, but we gotta have some flop-abitlity to call it off and go 3w. A-10o doesn't flop well, and it will probably get you into trouble, without having the initiative.
Hand 2: A-K on monotone board.
We raise pre, that's standard.
Flop, I don't really mind the raise, but once he clicks it back on this flop, fold dude. We don't have a spade. He is literally telling you he has you beat, and we can't take the heat. We can't improve here, without runner runner. Fold flop, after he 3b you. Don't pay them off, ever.
Hand 4: Q-Jo.
I like the hand until the river. Call pre is ok, LP open. If you ever think it's a tight player opening though, fold pre. If he is opening light in LP, like we think they may, we can defend here. Like flop. Like your lead on the turn.
Edit.... I did read the suggestion to 3b or fold pre. I wouldn't mind a 3b here if it were suited. If I had to choose 3b or fold here, I just fold TBH. However, calling in SB is kinda bad, and in hindsight I like the advice Keith gave also.
River, yes, check. WTF can he have? We gotta give him some rope to try and make a mistake. We check, and raise. He isn't going to call. He doesn't have anything. But he may stab if we check.
Hand 5: 7-7.
Fold flop. We are OOP, and there is over card. It may be exploitable, but fold. We have very slim chsnce of improving, we are OOP, and we just can't call 3 times, so why even call once?
Once again, $2 NL. You tried to hit a set. Just give up. On to the next hand. You don't need to win every pot.

in essence this is why Rational refuses to post his graphs , he is trying to bluff too much against people who dont fold so his red line zooms when he wins small pots and blue lines tank when he loses bigger pots because they call with any part of the board.

Thanks for all this advice guys! I'm learning and improving every day! Hopefully the green line will follow!
Does anyone have any comment on my two hands before last post? The one where I lose a lot. Would you guys fold earlier?
Thinking about the set of 2 vs set of 3. He almost only could have that given how he played. I just couldnt let go. What do you guys think?
The flop nut flush: kinda the same. Couldbt let go even on a really dangerous board.

fold to the 3bet pre ,you don't have enough hands on him to infer thats he's 3betting you light. with more hands you and thinking he's 3betting light you could 4 bet him , but highly likely to be a mistake at 2nl as unlikely to get enough fold equity .
when he raises turn just shove , result is just a cooler
just call his reraise 45 has you beat along with oversets, he could reraise river with Ax hitting two pair which is all you'll get value from. The reraise will only get called by better.

Another session. I already feel way more confident in some spots. I have learned not to call/chase. I stopped bluffing almost entirely postflop, because too many people call anyways. And it shows in the graphs (although it's a small sample size).
Bankroll from 30.04 to 34.80$
Some difficult hands:
Hand 1
Hand 2: Do you check in this position to try to let him stab? Or do you just make the pot as big as possible by raising?
Hand 3 - 4: I have a preflop question: Do you sometimes 3bet these? I think I'm missing spots to 3-bet (7% for now).
Hand 5: theoretical. I have AJs UTG, I open raise, all folds, but SB 3bets. Do we call or fold here? Let's say the SB is a decent player (has a VPIP/PFR of 20/15 with 3bet% of 10 if you want some stats)
Hand 6: No idea. A couple of hands before he bluffed me off a hand I'd won (so he told me, he played like he had a set of 5 on the turn, I had 88. He said he had 22 afterwards). So maybe he had nothing again. But it seemed like a dangerous board.
Here's a graph. .png files are low resolution. Can you guys still read it? or doesn't it really matter as long as you can see the trend?

Hand 5: theoretical. I have AJs UTG, I open raise, all folds, but SB 3bets. Do we call or fold here? Let's say the SB is a decent player (has a VPIP/PFR of 20/15 with 3bet% of 10 if you want some stats)
Hand 6: No idea. A couple of hands before he bluffed me off a hand I'd won (so he told me, he played like he had a set of 5 on the turn, I had 88. He said he had 22 afterwards). So maybe he had nothing again. But it seemed like a dangerous board.

Small update. I played some more and a fish (97/20) left the table with 300+ BB!!!
But fortunately, not before I got some money from him.
Bankroll today went up from 30.04 to 39.28
Not many interesting hands.
PT4 thinks I have made 7.75$ instead of 9.28$. I have posted this in another thread in the poker software subforum. I wonder how come. Has anyone noticed PT4 not recording everything? Or making calculation errors?

Hand 1:
V is polarized. He either has you, or he doesn't. Read based. He may check back all pairs under KK here, and he bluffs alot too. Missed FDs. It's just tough to play OOP, as you know..... if you feel icky about it, I guess fold. I may hero here sometimes, depends on what I think of V, what I've seen him do, how tight is he, is he passive generally, etc.
Hand 2:
I check here sometimes, probably most of the time if we have Ac in our hand. It depends again on what we think of V. What are his tendencies? We prob just bet though.... if he has a draw, or a jack, he may call, and we want that. But, if we have a read this guy always stabs, yeah check.
I'll have to look at the others later.... short on time ATM.
I'm curious to see what others say as well.

hand 1 - Check V's turn & river barrel stats. As bean said has it or doesn't.
hand 3 - looks fine
hand 4 - I'd stab flop to take it down as we can't improve out hand later
hand 5 - depends on player. Without notes I think I'd fold
hand 6 - looks like a value bet but V is a fish. so I'd call prob if I know him to be a bluffer
hand 3 - looks fine
hand 4 - I'd stab flop to take it down as we can't improve out hand later

Must respect the dynamic player always over the rigid one.I mix up my c-bets from 45% to 2/3,,,you would`t believe how many folds i get with 45%.I find nothing a villian hates more then being `fished` along,,,but when to do it takes experience and yes,i can see it being exploited.

Thanks for your responses.
Braveslice: thank you. It's encouraging to read that!
Have you guys taken a look at hands 3-4 regarding my 3bet question?
Ive been sitting around 5-10% 3bet. Only 3betting TT+, Aqo+ sometimes a bit wider in the SB vs CO or BTN.
Especially when im in position I tend to 3bet less. But im pretty sure I could 3bet a bit wider than. Just dont know where to draw the line. Any suggestions?

Played some more. Found a good spot to overbet, got called and payed! That was the first time I was confident in an overbet (I almost never do it).
Anyway. Some ups and downs, but more ups. Saw another fish leave with 280BB, which is good because it keeps them going
Anyway. Bankroll today went up from 30.04 to 41.21. Today was a good day. Time to get some sleep.
Here are 2 hands I might have mislplayed a bit
Hand 1: Fold turn or not?
Hand 2: Should I fold the turn? The guy was kinda fishy but I hadn't played many hands yet vs him.
Bonus hand from CCFR: I bubbled because of this

Played some more. Found a good spot to overbet, got called and payed! That was the first time I was confident in an overbet (I almost never do it).
Anyway. Some ups and downs, but more ups. Saw another fish leave with 280BB, which is good because it keeps them going
Anyway. Bankroll today went up from 30.04 to 41.21. Today was a good day. Time to get some sleep.
Here are 2 hands I might have mislplayed a bit

Hand 1:
This is a BTN open. I would rather 3b pre, than flat and go 3w. BTN open is likely light.
As played, C/R turn, and if called, prob bombing river. However, we shouldn't be just calling the flop here either. We have very little equity.
So yeah, 3b pre. As played (flatting pre), C/F flop. Next hand.
But since we called flop for some unknown reason, C/R turn. But this hand just got away from us. You are too passive. As I said, just 3b pre, and take control.
Hand 2:
I am not sure what I think of this hand. I like the raise pre. Like the raise OTF. Now, when guy C/R us on the turn, yeah this is somewhat common for you, calling.
If we call, we are going to showdown. This dude's line is super strong on the turn. Q-10 got there, and he can have FH and 9x a bunch. So we must find a fold to turn C/R. We have very little chance of improvement. A jack is like our only gin card. There are two of them left in the deck, best case scenario. Just fold this turn, and never think about the hand again. Next hand.
