Re: Need Help? Ask me

Hi, I'm new on 2+2. Could anyone tell me how to post hands to analize, please? I guess it needs to be converted somehow but how? I imagine I should copy hand from f.ex. holdem manager or from hand history Poker stars folder, paste it on some kind converter and then copy to forum with new thread. Am I right? thanks

I understand this is the place for beginner questions, so here's two very basic ones:
What records should be kept to improve your game? Also, how are hand records kept?

Re: Need Help? Ask me

Why is this not stickied?

OK now my question. What are the key differences between NLHE cash and NLHE tournaments or SNG. If I am somewhat successful at tournaments what do I need to do to adjust to be good at cash games as well?

There is nothing scarier than HelloKitty IMHO.

Re: Need Help? Ask me

If your in a hand and you know you have the nuts/best hand. Do you auto shove all in or raise a certain amount? If so how much do you raise?

You shouldn't really be auto-anything. (Maybe auto-fold 72o UTG, but as with most things in poker, it depends.)
When you have the best hand, you want to bet the largest amount that you think will be called. Sometimes it's a shove, sometimes, it's a third of the pot. It depends on the range you put villain on (e.g. if you think he has the nut flush, he'll probably call a big bet when you rivered a boat), and whether he's a pay off wizard.

Well at 2NL, many of the other players are so bad, that they WILL call a shove, even if they have a weak one pair hand. (Or worse. Mr Beer said that he once shoved with quads and got called by jack high, and I've had similar results too). Just be aware of who else is in the hand, and ask yourself if he is likely to have a good hand, that will probably call a pot size bet, but not an overbet.
e.g. If a reg bets 3/4 pot on the flop, half pot on turn and river with AK on K54J2 and you rivered a flush, then you obviously want to raise, but shoving just screams "I have a flush, so you should fold your one pair". You don't want villain to fold. You want to set a price that gets paid, giving you some value for your monster. If the board is much more connected, so you think villain has at least a straight, then he's likely to call a bigger bet.
