Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

I was playing NL last night and lost a good bit of money. I think my pre-flop play is decent(15/3.4) but post-flop I think I am too tied to overpairs or second best hands (post-flop aggression of 3.75). While only 180 hands in this session, I think these stats are representative of my game. Love to get insight on how I should play these hands and get away when possible. Thanks!

First things first- buy in for the max.

Re: Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

Unfortunately, I already had..and lost part of my original stack. The hands are not necessarily in order from last night.

Re: Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

I push the turn in hand 1.

Re: Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

then rebuy to keep yourself at full stack

Re: Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

Do oyu rebuy everytime you lose more than 10%? 25%? of your original stack? How do you think about it?

Re: Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

10% or less of my stack.

Basically, any time I lose a pot.

Re: Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

Maybe not all-in, but my first thought when I reviewed the hand today was that I should bet more on the turn...his small bet into me on the turn just confused me I guess. Can you get away from this on the river?

Re: Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

I rebuy when 5% of my stack is gone - some people here rebuy everytime they pay a blind....

Re: Hand Review: Need Help Post-Flop!
 

hand 1: push turn. this is a classic turn blocking bet from a donk to try to complete his flush. look for these retarded minbets to ALWAYS be draws. punish these donks - push turn. however, as played, still call river because this is often a missed flush draw.

hand 2: you were shortstacked so this was bound to happen. if you're new to NL though, learn the 5/10 rule and you'll understand why SB's PF call was incorrect.

i tend to rebuy a little compulsively, especially if more than 1/3 the table has more than the buyin.

hand 3: again, this is different because a player in the hand is a shortstack. i sometimes check the flop here expecting UTG+2 to bet, UTG to call and i can then push. i can't imagine a shortstack checking behind there with any of the holdings he might have so this might at least get you some extra dead money.

versus someone with a real stack, i might let this go. though you've underrepresented your hand, if he were to come over the top of you on that flop, he's not doing it with whiffed overs most of the time - and that's about all you beat. if you think he is, 3bet all in or c/r all in on the turn if you're afraid of giving a free card. really this is just a trouble spot though with much of a stack and a mediocre overpair.
