Message: [QUOTE="crazycitizen, post: 5901625, member: 128597"] Firstly, I'm glad to hear you are willing to put your ego aside and start to properly work at the game :) Forewarning: I will be overly critical. This is because you said you wanted to improve so I am trying to be as helpful as possible. But I will be blunt and not give much explanation as I think it's better for you this way. 1. If you are a losing player I would personally not be opening K9os from the button. Later on you can but first I would work on your fundamentals, K9os will simply get you into tricky spots. Hands like 9Tsuited are easier to play than K9os for example. 2. Your open-raise size is a bit oldschool. 2.5BB is better, not 3BB. 3. The flop is ok for your hand/range but there are a lot of draws out there. You can delay your cbet here for the turn. Or if villain leads turn you can decide what you want to do. The problem with betting this flop is villain will call it a lot and you do not gain much info, you are also doing fine to get to showdown. 4. Betting flop doesn't really give you much protection on this board. 5. You check the turn, and you probably would check most turns, putting you in an awkward position. You look weak. This is the problem with your line, checking flop and cbetting turn on this board is much stronger. You could also go large (150% pot) on turn, as you will push your opponent into a really tough decision, where they will often only continue with sets, made straights, 2pairs and some QX. 6. Never bet a river with 4 to a gut-shot straight on board, with any hand that's not a straight. Villain simply cannot call your bet without a straight, and he can never bluff you if you bet. 7. If you want to check-call at least villain can be bluffing. But at these stakes, people don't bluff enough on these super wet boards. 8. Your hand is not a good bluff-catch on a crazy wet river when you have already bet, players will not re-raise you on the river with a bluff on 2NL. Hope that helps, Remember it is only my perspective and I will never be 100% correct ^^ [/QUOTE]
