Final pot: 10.5BB


No general reads. Not like I understand those damn numbers anyway. Obviously I should folded at one point because I lost but when. Should I have folded AQ with this many people in the pot? I guess I could have raise to cut the number of pre-flop people in half. Should have folded on the flop becuase it didn't hit? I guess I thought my odds were fine. Since I am a loser in limit I shouldn't have thought that. Then when the ace hit and I raise, should I have just folded on the river.

I don't know what I am doing in micro/low limits. Losing over $150 in over 21 hours of $1/$2 and .50/$1 n July just proves it

I think you're going to bias the results with your thread title and some of your text. Raise preflop. On the flop, you have two overs, two BDSDs, and a BDFD. All together, you probably have enough to call getting 9:1. After that, I think you played the hand fine. But in limit, you play a lot of hands fine and still lose them.

PFR in CO with AQ.

Then you will probably be checked to on the flop, and you can decide whether to C-bet based on the number of villains, and their stats.

As the hand played, I would do the same thing, and be thankful that the villain didnt raise anywhere cuz I would probably have paid off at least another big bet.

Oh, and whiny posts about how much money you have lost, and how bad your results are, are probably more likely destined for BBV rather than good Poker Analysis.

I just read some of your other posts and you complain in nearly all of them. You need to stop being so results oriented. Also, if you're a loser at limit, maybe stick to NL.

your stack management skills need some work.

overall dude, you are way too results oriented.

your thinking is wrong. raising the turn says you think your hand is good. the river changes nothing.

Maybe you should read a book.

Raise PF for value mainly, not just to cut out people.

Flop peel is fine with your BD draws.

I would consider calling the turn. If you raise SB will fold alot of hands he'd call for 1 bet, and you want them to call without odds, especially if he has a worse heart that would've folded for 2 bets.

Having said that raising the turn is fine and "standard".

Raise it preflop, makes it a lot easier to play. Flop call is o.k. with overcards and BD draws. If villain is passive he might just call and check with 2 low hearts, I have seen that. But your play looks fine to me.
