I used to play WoW "seriously" for a little over a year, but I just mess around online now.

Also enjoyed poker from the day I found it and will likely be playing on merge in the near future.

Best of luck.

Also, I have to laugh at myself every time I look at your last graph. Makes me realize how foolish I was taking a 5 buy-in shot at 10NL.
i thought when he checked the turn his range was mostly weighted towards air so betting smaller or bigger accomplishes same thing for when he has a hand and when he doesnt have a hand

on a side note i became a full blown degen today, chasing losses GOGOGOGO 10.5 hrs lmao apparently i got some 1000 minute sessions and 800 minute wtf? dont remember that

also, the headsup hand i think the call is bad looking back at it cause all his semi bluffs are guna double barrel and his semi bluffing range will be ahead of me if i hit my backdoor draw and he will probably still call with 2 pair and flushes so floating was probably poor decision there

or 1 hand rather ;p this is vrs an unknown dont know anything about him other than he bought in full, i really should have bet the turn in this hand i feel like im way too passive sometimes and i was folding to al ot of 3 bets in other hands today but this is just another example that im too passive sometimes gutshot to nuts + 1 over should definitely double barrel or tripple barrel here

was thinking about betting flop bigger so i could shove turn too or somthing like that or flop/turn smaller so i dont give him good price to call a river shove

Merge, $0.10/$0.25 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #17213081

Hero (SB): $38.67 (154.7 bb)
BB: $27.96 (111.8 bb)
MP: $17.68 (70.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q A
MP folds, CO raises to $0.65, BTN calls $0.65, Hero raises to $3.10, BB folds, CO calls $2.45, BTN folds

Flop: ($7.10) T K 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $3.55, CO calls $3.55

Turn: ($14.20) 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $18.70 and is all-in, Hero folds

this hand probably doesnt look like a lot but i think its a sticking point for me i need to defend 3 bets a bit more and be making these plays now ill definitely post some more tomorrow since im at 575 again going to try another shot

With the AQ hand I feel like your squeeze sizing is what caused you so much trouble in that hand. You built the pot up so fast you couldn't double barrel without committing yourself. Turn wasn't the best spot in the world to barrel anyways as villain is likely to call. Just my 2 cents...

This thread makes me want to play some Starcraft. I got my hands on a copy ~6 months ago when I sold a sword in D3 for $65. Still haven't really gotten around to playing it though haha. Maybe it would help keep my PVP skills sharp when I don't feel like playing poker.

yeah my opinion changes like 5 times after i post the hand cause i talk to a bunch of people about it haha i think the pre sizing is fine though what would u make it? also its good to do some other things to get ur mind off of poker ull drain urself out otherwise

size for squeeze for me is normally $2.75 doing it that size would have made the flop $1.05 less and made ur bet size more believable.

at NL25 you need to start making your lines believable regs are going to start floating ALOT IP specially if your making 1/2 pot bets on the flop and when they see this sort of play its going to happen more and more and make ur life miserable and kill your Cbet success in the future because they will note that your 1 and done if you miss

almost his whole range is going to be calling the flop, and nearly that whole same range is betting turn if checked to and folding turn to a 2nd barrel, on top that u do have an over card and the straight draw. I would deff keep aggression on in this spot for at least a turn bet.

----------------

Personally I would flat AQ in this spot, not a big of playing AQ oop specially in a spot where your 3bet looks at its weakest seems its a squeeze and vs co/btn range. your hardly ever taking it down with a cbet when u miss the flop which will be quite often.

AQ is normally only good for 2 streets of value anyway, if u did hit TPTK check call flop check call turn and get value from a huge range (people will double barrel alot more often in NL25) and if the turn goes check then u can lead rvr and any pair will call thinking your taking a stab.

im not sure if its right but that line makes things much more easy to play and u get value from a very wide range of hands

Nice $400 score with the Equalizer man. Pretty sick how you much you have built your bankroll in a little over a month.

Was wondering why I was running into you at 4NL. Makes sense now haha.

nice hopefully i can move up from just being a grinder i think i play too many tables atm. i have this thing where i start with 2 then if i lose a buyin i instantly open 2 more which it doesnt matter for me short term but it cuts into my learning when i play 4-6 so im going to consciously try to fix it
