Tonight I played at a charitable. The first hand was ace 5 and I bet 10 and got a few callers. Flop was ace 5 7 with two spades out there and I bet 15 and got raised. I reraised to 60 and got called by two. On the turn i bet 50 and got two callers. Then the river came with a king of spades-I folded my 2 pair, and the guy in the middle folded a straight. villain was likely just faking a spade.
A bit later there was alot of money in th pot and I had kk. Same villain went allin with flush, straight draws on the board- I called and made the money back.
Later I had 88, I bet 15 and got a few callers. Flop comes 8 10 10. I slow played it a bit thinking I had the nuts, turn comes ?, River comes 10 and suddenly my 30 dollar bets are no good and I get reraised? I tanked a bit b4 folding my full house, the other guy was kind enough to show his quad 10s. in the end I made about 12 bucks tonight= better than losing 400.
The A5 hand fold pre. Google Baluga Whale Theorem. It's not an exact match but it's close to that situation. 888101010 hand is a puke check/fold on that river. You have a tiny amount of showdown value but a worse hand is not calling so leading the river is pretty bad.

I left and came back and it took awhile but I went allin with qq vs an AJ with a jack on the board. Turn jack, river ace.
I think I was allin good both of those hands but shiyt happens...?
QQ is standard. I have no idea what the relative stack sizes are or what the preflop action was in the AJh hand but open shoving the flop is pretty bad. Just bet 3/4 pot on flop and try and see a free river if possible. (i have no idea if you were in position)

All night my 10 dollar bets were shutting things down with no callers so I bet 7- got 5 callers. Flop came 467 I bet 20 and got a call, I bet the turn 40, and the river 45 and he went allin. The guy had hit a straight on the flop with 3-5 off. Some people gave me a hard time for betting thm so weak preflop, but I didnt think anyone would call a 10 dollar bet, and then with the flop I thought my aces were good so I bet more. That guy who flopped a straight ran lucky after that, he did stuff like call at showdown with a pair of 3s so I think he was lucky but he made around 500 before I left 20 dollars down on the night.
Looks like you learned a valuable lesson here with Aces. Since you're new I recommend sticking with a standard preflop raise size (10$ sounds about right the way you describe the game) all the time to avoid giving any bet sizing tells away. You need to thin the herd down to 1 caller preflop. Maybe 2 is ok but 5 is realllly horrible. That flop is awful for aces 6 way but I'd bet 2/3 pot on the flop then fold if I get pressure back on any street. As played, check/fold turn and check/fold river. If the board pairs maybe try and squeeze some value on the river, but other than that youre ****ed.

Hes gotten taken down a few notches by people playing ridiculous hands- his are even worse. I couldve made alot with an ace queen suited, I folded preflop after the villain bet 15 and another went allin for around 60. villain wound up winning with a 9 high card. It wouldve been tough for me to see showdown because hed put me allin and my cards never hit. Then I hit another ace q heads up vs him, I slowplayed the queen high flop too much and he just checked till the river and he bet like 5 and I raised and he folded. And I hit a set of aces on a flop and two people folded to my ten dollar bet... So far im up $30 and im at home with apache, the room is like 3 minutes away today so Ill be back with report part 2.
AQs is an easy fold preflop unless both players are drunk AND stupid.

I hit a q on the flop and bet around 20 got called by an older reg who is usually a nit but mixes it up a bit but its predictable. Then I hit a ace for 2 pair, went allin and this guy had a set of 6s. Of course the ahole gave his 2 cents, hes been calling players fish and stuff all night which tells me hes no fisherman just a dumbass witha big bankroll who likes running over people.
It came down to 5 handed play and I left, Ill try back there soon but im not playing on that short table where th other players have more experience than me.
Standard cooler.
Sounds like a great room overall. Disclaimer: I only play poker 3-4 times/yr these days. If you are serious about improving your play start posting in the live low stakes NL forum. Read up on hand history posting format before you do though, or you'll likely be trolled out.
