Pokerstars $0.01/0.02 99/JJ

[corin]

I'm fairly new to these cash games on stars so I'm still not entirely sure what the strategy is. I see a lot of donks all over the place and I probably won't stay at these stakes for long, but I often find myself having tough decisions pre/post flop in hands where I hold mid/high PPs.

Where should I go for cash game strategy? I'm pretty up on Harrington tournament strategy, but I know it's not the sameas green zone play.

I wanted to ask for example whether these 2 hands were played correctly:

No it is not the same as green zone strategy .... but if you use green zone strategy, you will do allright

Just don't do half pot cbet ... go close to full pot instead.

Well I don't play this low so I don't know exactly how bad the players are but...

Hand 1 I'd usually check behind on the turn and call a smallish bet on the river. Though now that I see his small flop and turn bets, a flush draw does make sense...

Hand 2 I'd usually call just because the players are so bad and I feel like I see hands like A7 here alot. It seems like People like to call 3-bets preflop with bad hands and then push for more than the pot wen they hit their top pair.
