Message: [QUOTE="Jamalex, post: 5901401, member: 441208"] [b]Yatahay Network - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players[/b] [i][url=http://www.pokertracker.com]Hand converted by PokerTracker 4[/url][/i] Hey everybody! Feel free to SKIP this paragraph, this has nothing to do with the hand for review.:) I'm mostly just saying this for myself but up until this moment in my life I have been a LOSING poker player. (As much as it pains me to admit:o) I can only imagine how much money I've lost playing this game I love to this point. I was struggling at low stakes for a couple months. (NL10 and NL25 mostly) More like a few years if we include live 1/2 and all those tournaments that I donated to the prize pool each Sunday. I kept blaming it on being unlucky, running bad, etc. when in reality, I was just not very good. A few months ago I decided to humble myself and realize I'm not as good at poker as I think. I've been studying tons of hours of poker and have really changed my game for the better, playing just here and there to practice what I'm learning. I decided in November I was going to start all over and work from the bottom at 2NL and do it right this time once the new year starts. So here's to a new year and a new me! Also if anyone has any advice for how often I should study vs play I'm all ears. I'm gonna start posting hands at least a few times a week for review. That being said I've already found some...:confused:interesting spots to say the least here in the microstakes during the two sessions I've played so far. UTG: 101.5 BB MP: 101 BB CO: 59.5 BB [b]Hero (BTN): 274.5 BB[/b] SB: 246 BB BB: 119.5 BB SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB [b]Pre Flop:[/b] [i](pot: 1.5 BB)[/i] [b]Hero[/b] has K:club: 9:spade: [i]fold[/i], [i]fold[/i], [i]fold[/i], [color=red][b]Hero[/b] raises to 3 BB[/color], [i]fold[/i], BB calls 2 BB [b]Flop:[/b] [i](6.5 BB, 2 players)[/i] 6:club: 9:heart: Q:club: BB checks, [color=red][b]Hero[/b] bets 4 BB[/color], BB calls 4 BB [b]Turn:[/b] [i](14.5 BB, 2 players)[/i] T:heart: BB checks, [b]Hero[/b] checks [b]River:[/b] [i](14.5 BB, 2 players)[/i] K:spade: BB checks, [color=red][b]Hero[/b] bets 14 BB[/color], [color=red]BB raises to 50 BB[/color], [i]fold[/i] BB wins 40.5 BB 1. Am I betting too thin for value on this river or is it a mandatory bet here? 2. Should I use this hand to bluff catch vs a raise in this spot? I feel it's hard for me to have any value hand that checks the turn and bombs river besides a Jx hand I bet flop and checked back turn with which is not many. I think just J10, J9 and maybe once in a while J6s. K10 is the only other hand I can think of that could take this line for value. Really thinking about this spot, if my opponent was competent at all he would be putting me in a tough spot with even my Jx because I can't have AJ and he could here, so he can raise any J here with no fear at all and check raise bluff a ton here. Guess this brings me back to question 1 again... 3. I like this hand as a c-bet BTN vs BB being middle pair good kicker on a wet flop with a number of different draws but no possible made flush/straights. I used to always check middle pairs back but I'm thinking I should c-bet some of them some of the time now. Is this ok to do? Thanks for reviewing this, most of the hands I post in the future will be much less lengthy I promise!:D [/QUOTE]
