88 and below I feel fine playing for set value. I might be missing out on value here, but until I feel confidant enough to play those really low pairs well, its a safer road.

Upper-middle pairs are still make no sense. With no overcards, I start value betting, but have no idea if I should be ready to felt with TT on a 459r board. Conversely, I hate folding to a minraise either on this flop or on a single over flop.

JJ is a total money-sink for me, at times I just want to throw it away PF. I am totally lost on a single-over board, and not going to feel good about felting an all-under board (although I'd prolly do it unless up against a serious tag)

Villain is out there. 45/10/2, completes every hand he is in the SB. Feel he could be on a draw, middle pair or who [censored] knows. I am clueless.

Minbet? I might actually be good here, lets look for a cheap showdown. CHECK RAISE FOR A FREE SHOWDORN OR JUST CALL?

Now I know I'm beat, but I am so damn curious to find out what he has at this point that I can tank a 1/2 PSB (Imaaaaa donkkkk)

i usually fold flop- he minraised you, but your hand is not very strong here.

turn and river should def. be folded.
