OK so I'm new to poker.. Been playing on and off for fun for a while but not for money or really using any strategy other than AA = good.... 7-2 not so good...
The last month I started playing for money and studying, reading books, watching videos, learning some strategy, developing my own ranges etc... I was loosing at first, then I started breaking even... Winning a bit, making a few mistakes, making a bit more.. Until loosing a big bet usually by having a good hand on the flop and trying to see it out and getting out drawn on the river...
I've started making a profit from most of my sessions now but I was opening a-k, a-q, k-q.. Hitting top pair on the flop with good kicker and trying to get value betting around 30%-50% pot hoping to get called and id make it to the river and get beat... I've started raising the flop at least the size of the pot or just over since I've made this change I'm getting people to fold and I'm making money...
What is correct?
I had another thread on here where I opened KK for 5Bb.. Bet the flop and turn for value and got beat by 88.. Where the river card was an 8... Betting bigger id have probably won this hand too...
