Cant believe this.. now i am DOWN at NL2...so i have losses!!

look at this damn graph!?!!?

This is a troll right?

Stop playing bad.

can't follow you... this really happened...

Hand 1: raising the river is spew. Even if didn't hit the T he probably would've called as you don't represent anything.

Hand 2: I don't know what you expect but you are AT BEST flipping. AK is mostly a drawing hand.

Hand 3: I'd personally fold pre but sure whatever. Fold the flop. Reraising turn is receipe for disaster.

Variance is real. Swings don't happen all the time but they do happen.

Good luck

H1: V line seems strong, b-c-b. Fold OTR
H2: Variance without further reads
H3: Fold pre. Do not raise that turn.

AK was the only hand that wasnt terrible.

thanks guys... but sorry why don't raising the turn with 2 pair?

This is nl2 so they always have a hand.They all are nits.
So , don t go allin in hand 1
Just call preflop 3bet with AK(seriousely, but only at nl2) in hand 2
and don t go allin on the turn with 83 in hand 3.

sry bad english

raisefold that 83

Why? Can anybody explain?

did you ask why you should raisefold 83 on the turn?

Bottom 2 pair is not the nutted hand you think it is

LOL, only 1800 hands. Play 50k+

H1. Too spewy
H2. I tend to respect a shove from SB even with AK but is ok the call.
H3. Too lose open 83s from SB.

If you want to bluff, bluff the turn with AQ.

4-bet smaller with AK (20-22bb kind of range) because you want to at least give the perception that you can bluff here, so picking a sizing for which you can't really fold anything to a jam makes you face up. 100bb deep, it's fine to lose a stack in these positions every time. It's effectively a neutral spot though since when the hands are reversed you'll be stacking them.

I dislike min-raising BvB. When you get 3-bet on the turn, villain's range is pretty strong and everything he raises for value is better than A3 (it's essentially, A8/A3/J8 and maybe some AJ if he doesn't 3-bet enough pre). Jamming 83 into that range is folding out any bluffs he might have and getting stacked vs. everything else.

You played all the hands perfectly, I suggest moving up to atleast 25 nl, there you will crush since there are no donks like these.

H2 OK.
H1 you have more bluff opportunities than raise river AI. Flop can be raise, turn can be bet, river is not great place for bluff.
H3 meh, bottom 2p not bad BvB but I would only call his 3b.

Hand 1 Don't bluff raise someone that bets into you OTR. It's usually not a bluff
Hand 2 is standard. On average when calling off in this spot, your equity will converge close to 40%.
Hand 3. Don't open 83s in SB and if you do, at least open to 3-4X. MR like this OOP is the definition of bad play imo. Don't do it.

1 - river raise is really spewy, and we're not repping much with the shove. call vs. fold on river is kinda close but I would lean toward fold

2 - 4-bet size PF is really large but might be okay at 2NL. folding to the 5-bet is okay since who has 5-bet bluffing ranges at 2NL; not folding is okay because you have AK and they only have to have AK/QQ in their range a small amount of the time for us to have enough equity. should lean toward not folding in general imo.

3 - raise PF is a little loose (edit: and small). i c/r a little larger on the turn as played and fold to a 3-bet

+1 Move up to where they will respect your raises

cmon guys..here is my next session and this happens in the first 5 minutes:

i mean - how can this be?

against this my biggest pot won was 0.25.

The most losses i have now with aces after 2,000 hands!!! How is this even possible?

What did i do wrong. This is just super sick!?

You got all-in when you were behind. Stop doing that. You realize you're running good, right? Look at that EV line!!!

yeah you're very funny man

Hint for 2NL: If someone raises you, fold.

You can't fold this hands

upd AK is suited so maybe you can call 4bet at nl2 here
