The only thing wrong is not having a full buyin in front of you. Other than that, his flop c/min-raising range is wide enough to call. Keep it up.

Looks fine to me. If he likes that flop he should make a proper raise, and if he likes the turn he should bet like he means it. If anything, the table should be berating him for playing it so badly* - and respecting your c-bets a little more in future. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif



* thankfully, they don't know how badly he played it

Do you always rebuy if you lose a little? I usually only rebuy if I get down to ~$10.(assuming $25 max buy in). Should I be rebuying if I get below 25? I see it makes sense when you get a hand like this.

Reload preflop. Preflop is OK, better if you were full stacked. Calling the flop minraise is basically going to be -EV long term. He's got an ace (or set) most of the time. He's not folding. You're just going to end up folding to his turn bet alot. Or worse yet, it'll be a diamond sucking you in for another bet.

reload every chance you get. if i have a full stack and i get thorugh the blinds and lose them both i reload. its money left on the table when you have a big hand and villain has a full stack

i reload if i get below $22 or $23... reloading every time you lose a blind is a pain in the ass when multitabling.

Reload PF. Good hand otherwise, though flop can be a fold most times.

Flop is the only iffy part, but it is close. You should know better than to be worried about what the normal micro players think of poker strategy.

I fold to flop minraise most of the time but the rest is fine. And liek everyone said, reload. You want to play a hand like 98s for stacks. might as well be full stacks.
