Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6108532, member: 397965"] Preflop Maybe a 4BB open still work ok in very soft 2NL cash games, but if you are practicing with intentions to move up, I suggest, you change it to 3BB right away, and later when you get to 10NL maybe even to 2,5BB. Large open raises are very old school, they are not optimal, and when you eventually play against better opponents, it will be a problem, if you have gotten used to these sizes. Flop You do have a little something with two overs and backdoor draws, so you are not completely airballing. Even so I could go either way here and check or C-bet. In general you should do less C-betting when out of position, and this one is fairly marginal. If I C-bet, I would use a larger sizing. Do you expect him to fold anything, when you bet 30% of the pot, and he has position on you? And if he is not going to fold, then what does this bet accomplish? Turn You picked up an OESD, and for that reason I like the dubble barrel. I also like your sizing. River This is a tough one, because you improved to top pair, but it also brings in straight- and flushdraws. Against aggressive opponents I would often go for a check-call line here. But I feel, that in this particular situation, at 2NL and against a fish, thats the worst of your options. I think, if he has a hand, you beat, he is usually just going to check it back, so when you do face that jam, you are probably not good 1 out of 4 times, unless he is maniac type of fish. So as played with a check, I actually think, you can check-fold, even though its pretty tight and obviously suck to make top pair on the river and then fold it. I do lean towards going for a jam though. Yes sometimes you will value own yourself against a hand like the one, he had. But he can also call you with a lot of worse 1 pair hands and sometimes even A high, if he is on tilt. So I do think, jamming is going to show the highest long term EV, while check-calling is going to show the lowest. [/QUOTE]
