Hi, recently starting trying to improve my poker game making it into more than me playing rec.
Feel there might be some leaks in my game.
Losing more money in the bigger hands tbh
ie (just going to show some hand examples from today )
Hero has 5 3 s in the BB
Villain (button) Raises 0.05 (zoom micro stakes 0.01/0.02)
SB calls, hero (BB) calls
Flop: 2 3 A
Villain bets 0.07, SB Folds, Hero calls
Turn: 4
Villain bets 0.12, I raise to 0.33, he tanks and calls, putting him on a ace x or a weak pocket pair
River: 5
I assume this is a fairly safe river, he has not much behind and so I jam, and he calls with K6.
Hero has J10 diamonds,
UTG raises to 0.05, UTG+1 (hero) calls, MP (villain) calls, SB calls
Flop: 8D9S8C - I've got an open ender in this spot, backdoor flush -
Utg checks, hero checks, MP jams 0.70 ,
Bit unsure what MP is jamming with apart from maybe top pair or 9,9 trying to maybe get someone out a hand like mine
I tank, and call. and lose. He had (q9 of clubs)
Should I have folded in this position considering I only had 10 outs on the flop (not including the backdoor diamonds)
Hero has KK
UTG (hero) raises to 0.06
Button calls
Flop: 4 5 8
Button Bets 0.11
Hero calls
Turn: 2
hero bets 0.12 and button raises to 0.40
When am reraised I tank a little, and reevaluate here, Im thinking really the only hand am losing to is A3 so...
Hero calls
River: 8
I check, villain bets just over 1$ into the pot. I reraise all in ( really dont like this play cos am losing to quite a few hands)
I think in this spot I probably overplayed the kings especially on the river cos at flop button could of been holding A,8 suited, weak aces, such as A,4 A,5, A3, was also thinking potentially a weaker hand like mine 7,7 9,9.
Hero here as AsKs
UTG+1 raises 0.06 MP raises to 0.15, villain (button) reraises 0.42
MP has about (0.75 in stack left)
BB me shoves all in
Utg+1 folds, Mp calls with q5 suited (Diam), Villain calls with jj
Dont think this is the worst play I made out of all of these. Was thinking I want to stack MP and am probably beating villain who could be trying to do the same with a similar hand or maybe 10,10 or J,J. Unlikely that he has the A or K as my AK blocks that.
Anyways the board runs out and JJ wins.
Am probably not talking right with everything here just tryna say what I was thinking in the hand. Am still learning but finding it quite tough on these zoom microstake tables. Would be good to here how you might of played these hands differently, or just any help with microstake NLHE play to be getting to a point of a winning player.
OR should I start playing MTT , would this be more profitable/easier. I find I play tournaments and can get in the money, but just end up losing to flips, or losing a lot of my stack when blinds increase forcing me to shove.
Thanks
