Troubling hands of the day. (50NL)
I am resolving to try to post at least a couple hands a day because I've come to the realization that I am the worst poker player in the world, and I've lost money for 2 months straight now.
Anyhow, here's todays losing hands... Hand #1 Villain Unknown, only 7 hands.

1-3 fine, 4 if you dont get it in PF it goes in on the flop, fine.

Re: Troubling hands of the day. (50NL)
1. Your hand is not strong enough to raise on the river. Top pair is not that great in NL. You should just call the river.
2. No problem. Sometimes you go broke with AA 3. No problem there. 4. You might want to have notes on ppl i.e. what they reraise with. Typically in low stakes, ppl only reraise with QQ, KK, AA. So know your opponent. |

Re: Troubling hands of the day. (50NL)
Hand 2-4 I would have played the same (I do call shortstacks all-in with queens, because you have to get in in on the flop most of the time anyway.)
Hand 1 I check the turn for pot-control and call the river up to a potbet. Just variance, you'll get over it. |

Re: Troubling hands of the day. (50NL)
guys the only interesting hand here is 4, where we could get it in PF or on the flop since we can't get away from QQ here. Hand one look at stack sizes, villain has $5 left on the river, pushing it in is fine. So is betting the turn.

This guy was drawing, as they most often are, I'm just supposed to give him a freecard in order to manage the pot? What if the board had an obvious flushdraw? Same thing? |

[/ QUOTE ] You would check this turn for pot control if you each had fat stacks. you dont, so it's fine to bet this since we dont mind going all-in w/ TP Q kicker here vs a 50 BB stack or whatever he has. |
