Hello I have been ruNing bad at least I hope so because the alternative is ..... My confidence is at a very very low state
Villain is a new regular I first kind of noticed him 5 6 months ago and he's been reg ever since. I watched this guy in previous session rr shove all in on river heads up in huge pots 800 and show like KQ on KT 675 boards and get called and end up losing to AA, I seen a couple other hands similar to this ok anyways this is the hand I played with him . Prior to this we played a hand where he had 77 in ep and i had 68o in bb he raised in ep with about 1000 and I had KJs he raises to 30 everyone folds and I call. Flop comes J63 cc he bets out 60 I call then turn is Jc completing a possible flush he bets 75 I shove all in for another 400 he snap calls not calls but snapcalls of course I lose.. sooooo another hour later this hand happens.
I have KJs in bb and he has J7 in ep he raises to 30 everyone folds to me I call (ok yeah I should of folded here but you know a bit of our history )flop comes J93 dd he bets 60 I call turn comes 7c he bets I call river is a brick he shoves I call and lose what do you think it can't be worse than what I tjink

Ok, so this post is a bit of a mess. I'm not saying this to be mean, but if you play like you post, you have some issues in your game. Slow down, take a deep breath, and use paragraphs. Lay out your hand cleanly, in an easily visible format. If people have to search for your question and your hand, they will simply not bother. I might not have bothered either, but this bit caught my eye.

Given the history you described, you shouldn't fold here, you should raise! Now, the hand you should fold is 68o. This V's range is fairly loose preflop (think what would happen if you had KJ in the HH, you stack him right?), so when you have a hand that plays well against his range (KJ, not 68), you should raise. Think about that, and think about how you think about the game, and what part of how you think about the game has you making the above quote.

I really think you should stick to a fairly strong preflop range for now, and try raise or fold for a bit, while you get your feet wet. If you stick to top 15-20% of starting hands, you can be fairly confident that your range is well ahead of that of most of your Vs. Spend some time observing your opponents between hands that you play. For example, you have a wealth of info on this V. You know he opens loose, overvalues TP, and is pretty aggressive. All you need to know to beat him long term is right there!

GL at the tables!

This is good advice.

Not sure what stakes u r playing, but sounds like $2/$5 NL based on stacks. If it is, I'd recommend dropping to $1/$2 NL.

Ed Miller has written some good books, well worth the investment.

GL.

The good news is you are not running bad. You shouldn't be involved in this hand.

It's good news because you have a lot of room for improvement.
