Besides preflop. I like flatting my whole range vs raise up front. No reads on villian cause no HUD, but this is Cake poker so he probably isn't very good

Cake Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $6.00 BB (10 handed)

MP2 ($195.42)
MP3 ($633.15)
CO ($689.95)
Button ($1116.55)
sethseth (SB) ($743.95)
BB ($1107)
UTG ($655.50)
UTG+1 ($685)
UTG+2 ($834.85)
MP1 ($570)

Preflop: sethseth is SB with A

, A

1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $21, 6 folds, sethseth calls $18, 1 fold

Flop: ($48) Q

, K

, 2

(2 players)
sethseth checks, UTG+1 bets $40, sethseth calls $40

Turn: ($128) 5

(2 players)
sethseth checks, UTG+1 bets $85, sethseth calls $85

River: ($298) 7

(2 players)
sethseth checks, UTG+1 bets $149, sethseth calls

Let's see. Hmm. Ok.
Good points to raise this would have been pre, flop, turn and/or river.

I thought about raising river, but I'm not sure its very good because I think his calling range is AK KK QQ 55 22 and kq but he probably doesn't raise that in EP much. there are only 6 combos of AK cause I have blockers. I also think my hand is underrepped but I don't get looked up by worse very often. Am I just thinking way nitty or what.

raising pre > raising flop > raising turn > raising river

I think you should really, really reconsider this tactic especially OOP since it's hard to put opponents on hand ranges if you don't raise + it's hard to extract value OOP so to neutralize a part of the effects of position, please start raising them.

raising would be pretty bad at any stage without history

Flatting preflop is a good strategy. I think you should def check raise the flop though.

I don't know why you assume you would only get called by a set or two pair on the river. Your liine in the hand actually wouldn't make sense if you raised the river, so you can get called down by a lot of weaker hands--under pairs and A/K, K/J.

lead flop

also having no hud is absolutely not an excuse for not having reads

Ugh please reraise this preflop but that said I agree with just about every other post in here. I think postflop calling down is fine but id prefer to get way more mobnies in preflop with the absolute nuts.

Preflop is ok occasionally I think.

I think this is a pretty bad board for raising postflop though so calling down is ok.
