$25NL - Do you not go broke with any of these?

[kbinder]

Hand 1: I go broke with this every time. Just look at it as overhead. Given deeper stacks and a tight opponent, I will reconsider.

Hand 2: Not to be picky, but I raise a bit more preflop, either 1.25 or 1.5. I fold to the flop 3-bet.

Hand 3: Here you defintely have to raise more preflop. You do not want to play KQ in a 3 or 4 handed pot.

Hand 4: Did SB bet a PSB on the flop? You have to raise here.

H1 - fold to a min-raise pf. Draws and TPNK OOP in a rrz'd pot suck. Going broke is standard on the turn though - even with full stacks.

H2 - make it a pot size flop rrz so you know you can get away from a 3-bet. Your min-raise gives him odds to draw. Calling his 3-bet here also means the pot will be so big that you are playing for stacks. I would fold.

H3 - Cut out this min-raising crap. Raise to $12 or just call. Min raising shows that your hand is good and you want more money, which lets weaker hands get away. If you raise properly, they can't tell if you're bluffing the make them fold or not, as well as building a much bigger pot. And on this board, I would just call the flop. The board isn't draw heavy, so no need to push out weaker hands by defining your hand.

H4 - Rrz of fold pf unless you know ur opponents very well.


But yea, going broke on all these is standard (except H2 - fold flop 3-bet).
