Fold #1
Call turn Hand #2 - Shoving sucks - Your not going to be called by anything other than hands that beat you.
I'd probably just C/C #3
Hand #4 - Raise Flop.

My thought process throughout this hand:
Preflop: Standard raise, okay cool a nit called
Flop: Standard CBet, okay, nit called, either floating me, has pocket 7s+, or pocket 5s(I hope not)
Turn: Awesome, made the boat, standard double barrel. Okay he called, he either has pocket 7s or quads (I hope not).
River: Triple Barrel. Ok, I get raised all in. He either has 7s, or quads.
Aftermath: Poker is dumb

Regards to hand 4. I keep reading different opinions. For example if I raise the flop I just fold out hands like ace rag that I can get more value from? What's correct?

Raising - Villian bet $0.2 in a $1.20 Pot.

You get VALUE by raising.

Do you really think that someone donk-betting 1/6 pot will fold to your raise if he has Ace-rag? This is actually the point where you should get value, because 20 cents is not enough value on the flop. If he bet closer to the pot-size, then you can try to make a case for calling to make more value on later streets.

He is obviously quite a bad player, he will not fold worse hands to your flop raise. He will also make it known to you when he has your TPTK beat.

Ugh I always have a decent day in 2nl and the next day i run terrible and lose the money i won the day before i hate 2nl its so hard to get passed. These hands payed tribute to the 4$ i ended up losing today but if i win one of these im break even, ugh.

this one i probly shouldnt have called the all in but he was something like 72/19 with a 100% Cbet so i went for it and made the right call. Obviously he had K10spades and just runner runner like no other. I hate to get mad about these hands but its happening too much and if i would win half of them i would be at 5nl already. there is NO way around 2nl its so frustrating.

Glad someone don't. I go on tilt and flip out when I get bad beat. Not talking about a 60-40 or a 70-30. I had flopped a set and guy caught runner runner for quads.

Exo, Baluga does not apply in a) 100bb eff 3bet pots and b) when the bottom card pairs, blocking two combos of bottom set and counterfeiting top two against your overpair. Yeah, you get stacked some percent of the time, but you're up against AQ/QJ a nontrivial amount and are getting awesome pot odds.

Ok, I'm kinda new here. I'll try to build a bankroll from the ground. I have $50 on FT and I play NL2. Right now I'm recovering from downswing, sometimes it's little bit crazy. Too swingy for me and the feeling is like... meh. Wanna move up asap (at least NL10). I'll mix it up with ocassional mtt's. I'm still trying to improve myself, still learning, so hopefuly I'll have some results.
