Message: [QUOTE="Bozovicdj, post: 5614941, member: 250145"] 1st hand: Pre flop is fine, I personally like to go a bit bigger when re-raising in micro stakes. Simply because I think that majority of the players there call re-raises lightly even OOP. Flop - smaller bet, no need to bet 70% of the pot. I don't see people calling with two overs such big bets, so smaller bets may keep them in the hand, but most of the time, you are likely to be called by draws and better hands anyways. Smaller bet then serves the same purpose as big bet, only now you have slightly more protection. Turn - same thing if you want to bet, bet smaller. River - IMO it is a fold unfortunately. Think about it, you re-raised pre, then bet big flop and bet big turn. You really said, on every street that you have a pocket pair, higher then a 9. You have JJ so you take away some straights like JT, but also, you don't have a Jh so you don't take away any flushes. It is very hard for opponent to check call two streets and then shove river without crushing you. The worst hand he can have is a pocket pair, in which case it is likely he has QQ+ and played them rather slow preflop. Second hand: Since you are the original raiser pre-flop, I would do a c-bet. TP+gut shot straight draw and one over card is pretty good. After the first player called you, every next player calling has a wider calling range cause he gets better pot odds, so it isn't unlikely that you are actually beating all of them on the flop. The way the hand is played, you need to fold. Yes, in micros, there will be people re-raising like that with AQ or two spades, which you currently beat on the flop, but I personally don't like to gamble my entire buy-in so early and recklessly, considering that you may also be beat. Keep in mind, you don't have a spade, so a hand like K8s has 45% chance to win against you, with 10% chance of a tie. That is not a hand you want to run into, even tho you currently have a better hand. [/QUOTE]
