but I get raised often by worse aces and air b/c people often think I am cbeting, which I often do.

this does not happen often as you say. It happens rarely, especially from 71 vpips. Most of them are passive.

The worrisome thing is, so many people post preflop stats and ask postflop questions. This baffles me. Sure, the preflop stat helps us to realize he has a huge range, but tells us nothing about how to respond if he raises.

So are you saying that when raised we really have think we are WA, not marginally ahead at best, otherwise probably best to fold, especially readless as in this case

What post flop stats would you recommend that we make an extra effort to pay attention too and include in our posts?

I think we are WB [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

But yes, I really don't see him doing this with KJ or QJ. Although I'll admit there aren't that many hands he could have that he limp called from EP that beat us. TT, AA, AJ, ATs, JTs? I think he'd raise JJ and AK. He could have AQ, but that's fairly unlikely to, because he'll usually raise that up as well preflop and of course we have an A and a Q.

But, even with that limited range, I just don't think people get out of line on flops like this very often. If they do, fine. I don't mind folding this marginal spot, because this type of flop hits your isolation range so hard that if he's messing around he's just going to spew a tonne to you later.

Villain is a total donk. Tricky, too - no logic whatsoever. VPIP 55 over smallish sample. But numbers dont tell the truth here.

fold pf. flop fine. turn i'd call if you think he'll pay you off on the river if you hit. i wouldn't push unless you think he's capable of folding some of the time.

Definitely fold preflop. On the button I wouldn't hate a call.

I would also raise a smaller amount on the flop. mebbe $5. Since he's a donk and if he's folding to $8.5 he'll fold for $5.5.

not sure what position you're in, assuming utg, so I fold pf.

as played calling min bet on flop is ok I guess, anything more is an easy fold.

Def fold turn, if you hit a flush it may not be best, if you hit str8 you're in great shape, but I think villain's bet is pricing you out of calling... fold

I'm down 11BIs in two days and 3,5k hands. So far I've had one winning month after July. I spend a whole lot of time on this game. I even got expensive (for me) coaching. All the facts are saying "quit this game and move on to something you enjoy".

If I decide to take one more stab at this game, what would be the thing that could change me into a winning (well... more than 1ptbb/100) player? Some point me to the magic bullet ok thanks.

EDIT: lol im so naive

Pretty sucky. Sounds like the kind of guy who could have JT here. Maybe he even has air sometimes. Two overcard spades is about the worst hand he could have for you. You are about 50/50 against his made hands. I don't like calling. You can't fold. Even though you don't have much FE, you have to push IMO.
