Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5901646, member: 397965"] First of all I love the fact, that you have decided to work seriously on your game, and also that you start with cash games. This is also, what I did back in the day. Around 20k hands at 2NL, and then I moved to 5NL. These days I mostly play tournaments, but I have around half a million cash game hands under my belt. On to the hand: Preflop I think, K9o is a mandatory open from BTN, and I like the 3BB size as well. Flop You flopped second pair good kicker, and there are merits to both C-betting and checking back. Its fine to simply mix it up to get experience with, what tends to work best in your player pool and with your personal play style. Turn One of the advantages of betting the flop is, that usually you wont be facing a turn bet, and this allow you to get to the river for the price of just one bet. If you bet again, you will begin to value own yourself, so for me this is a clear check back. River It is a little thin to bet for value, but my main objection here is your sizing. If you bet here, you are basically trying to get called by a worse two pair, so you need to give those hands a price, they are willing to call. I would bet around half pot, but against some opponents I would also check back and take a cheap showdown. Anyways when you get check-raised, its rarely going to be a bluff in the micros. If the guy had a busted draw and wanted to bluff, he would usually lead out, since you checked back the turn. So you can comfortably fold here and move on to the next hand. This is usually going to be exactly, what it looks like: A jack or even AJ for the nuts. [/QUOTE]
