table has shown to be passive postflop.
I dont think it's necessary to go through every read I had on every specific villain at the table. It would be overwhelming and unproductive.

number of players at the table
9 handed.

I think I fold KTs from UTG+1. It's a pretty hand but it's just too easily dominated. MAYBE I limp along if I'm reasonably sure I'm going to get a 5+way limped or cheap pot, but even then, I'd rather do that from the HJ than UTG+1.
I don't mind my iso here. table was fairly passive preflop. If there was alot of 3betting going on I would reconsider.
My goal is to get position on the person limping UTG, rather than having it go multiway and be OOP.

As played, if you didn't flop the best hand you just got disgustingly unlucky, and it happens - that's poker.
I know my range and bet accordingly based on what I perceive my opponents ranges to be. I am not sure what you are alluding to here.
Quote:
betting the flop and semibluffing the turn are almost always fine as played.
Turn is close. In a headsup pot I would always be checking. However I am not too experienced with these multiway spots, so my instinctual response was to
protect my hand.
My haphazard plan was to bet turn and check any card that didn't improve my hand OTR

The only thing I would add is make sure you're thinking at least one move ahead - obviously you're going to bet there, but decide what you're going to do if either BB or UTG raises you BEFORE you put your betting chips in the middle (on BOTH streets - especially the turn - would either of these villains raise you with AJ?)
I was planning on calling a raise.

I don't know if this is what's happening to you, but early on I had the hardest *$#@&$ing time kissing my money goodbye when I was clearly beat.
This is not what is happening
Quote:
It can be really frustrating to put $50+ in the pot and then have to kiss it goodbye
i try to make the best decision possible based on my range. once I put money in the pot that money is no longer mine.
Quote:
Absent a solid read otherwise, if you assume 1/2 villains NEVER donk the river without a hand that can beat top pair you will be right far more often than you're wrong.
Quote:
one of the many things that separates good players from bad players is the ability to lay it down, cut losses and move on to the next hand rather than throw good money after bad.
are you saying you tend to fold in this spot, if you lack certain information and turn to player pool specific reads?
whats HTH mean?
