Running at 30/26 obviously creates many more tough spots and requires decent reading at times.

Either slow down a little and think your hands through better, or temporarily drop about 5 off your stats (25/21), to avoid as many tough decisions.

hey cts,

In hand 3, do you often get called by TT-QQ when openpushing river? Cuz I think youre right, ppl are definitely inclined to make those calls against aggressive players.

Gregg, yeah it seems like its a combination of running bad, making stupid bluffs and having really bad timing. I'll experiment a little and see what happens

1, I can't find the fold without a solid read that the dude is very passive normaly
2, ? reraise a UTG raiser with A6 in the blind, and take a totaly unbelivable line the rest of the hand, meh this sux.
3, I bet or check-call turn and think its >>> check-raise, this hand I valuebet river and let him pay of with KQ KJ or whatever
4, lol hate it, donks love to minraise with strong hands and he isnt folding weak made hands cause he is a donk, this is extremly spewy without a read on him that says minraise=nothing

Hand 4 really ain't so bad but you don't have to re-raise nearly as much as you did

Does anyone else fold Hand 2 preflop? I feel like you're dominated too often by an UTG raise from a TAG, and you're OOP. If the villian was the button I can see the re-raise, but I wouldn't even bother playing this hand here. And I play like 28/22.

Also, is calling the flop raise correct in Hand 4?

Hand1: meh, I guess you can't fold it. If deeper I'd probably just call turn
Hand2: It looks like you're bluffing. Why would you ever c/r this flop w/ JJ+/Qx ?? Turn/river didn't change anything either so your hand looks like what it is.
Hand3: Probably bet/push riv.
Hand4: 3bet a little less imo, like 144 or 133 or something. Obviously not every time but some of the time.

Hand 1: Standard
Hand 2: Eww, I'd lead flop, if I CRed and it failed I give up, if you want to continue bluffing shove turn > shove river
Hand 3: Bet/shove turn, failing that shove river.
Hand 4: Meh hard to tell, I usually want a read on what a minraise means before I do this, but its not horrible or anything.

Actually like Parlay said in hand 4 raise less, I make it 150 if I pull this but you can get away with as little as 125 probably.

Hand 3 is definitely not standard, I just thought that betting this turn would fold out all the hands I beat. On the river he instapushed, and I called. Spew?

weird... i would check turn here alot since WA/WB and when we are WA, unless ur image is terrible, they are folding turn bet, but calling river VB... im not sure on the shove call cause i doubt i'd ever check this river.. odd spot...
