A little background, I've been playing poker for a little bit over a year now and I'm planning to take poker seriously and as a student, I treat poker as my side job. I will treat this thread as my daily report. I will be playing live poker (20/40 or 25/50 PHP which is equivalent to around 0.50/1.00USD) and online(0.05/0.10) regularly. I have no schedule yet but my goal each day is to play at least 1.5hrs a day of poker live or online.

Interesting Hands Today:

1)Should I have bet the river like 1/2-2/3 pot to get value from 99-QQ?

2) Finding the fold button on the river? I figured I can't beat any of the villain's Ax hands except if he was raising A9-A2. I could only beat bluffs on river. I was leaning on folding but I called just to see the villain's hole cards. What do you think?

5) Weird hand, Can I find a raise on the river? I think raising the river is too thin for value
