Push with this Set?

Pretty much always yeah, I'm never open limping though that's my point.

If you mean calling a minbet postflop then you need to be careful, say the pot is 5bb and it's 1bb to you. You need to hit a 6 to win so need over 20-1 odds to breakeven. What makes you think you will get at least 14bb more out of the minbetter when you hit?

I don't know how long you've been playing or what level you play at, but you need to play tight aggressive from the get go otherwise you'll have so many bad habits that will be really hard to drop when you move up the levels.

The main point in this hand is that at these limits people will slowplay far too much and they will never build up to a bluff. They wont bluff much and when they do it is always straight out, no calling a bet and then bluff after a raise. BB is slowplaying a made straight here.

I like your play until the reraise at the turn (though your raise at the turn might be a bit small, make sure they do not have odds to go for a flush or straight that has not be completed yet), you are then beat 99.9999% of the time and I don't think you get sufficient odds to call hoping for a full house/quads as you have 10 outs once.

I will raise when first to act 100% of the time UNLESS I have medium (TT or less) pocket pairs.

Then I'll go in for the min and fold if I miss. Why raise, create a small pot and then miss. I'm not going to cbet because in NL10 you have players playing ANYTHING.

cbet's seem worthless to me. You put money in, everybody calls and now you are sitting there with a silly grin. Nobody ever folds to a cbet.

This approach to poker isn't going to get you very far.

You need to start thinking beyond the last 2000 hands you've played. Everybody doesn't call every time you c-bet. Maybe in the last 2000 hands it has happened a lot, but don't throw out the entire concept of c-betting just because it hasn't worked the past several times.

I'm not so sure. But if he was, that post should go down in the Guiness Book of World-class Levels.
