Hello,

So I played zoom today for the first time went pretty well, but one hand in specific I can't get out of my mind because i don't know if I played it like a donk or I played ir fairly well.

I have KcQh

So he opens up 2BB bet.
The next guy to him limps
It folds to me I reraise
He calls the other guy gets out of the way
FLOP Jh 3h 2c
He checks
I bet half pot
He calls
Turn 2c (at this point I am thinking of bluffing a flush draw so I think I should've bet there but i am not sure)
We both check to the river
River 7c (Here I am thinking So i got the K of clubs it's a good spot to bluff we have to have bluffs always or else we just lose in poker)
He pot bets
I tank and I jam
He insta calls (A2d)
Wins the pot of course

I don't know, maybe somone will help me out here and will tell me if I played it well there or I just misplayed badly. Also my first post so don't be mean D.

Hi,

As is common for beginners when they try to describe hands, you've apparently mis-remembered the action sequence. The image you uploaded...

... shows that villain was in the BB, so he didn't open pre-flop.

I suspect that there was another player that limped and you isolated in the cutoff, and the BB flatted with A2s.
You c-bet, he check-called. Turn checked through, villain led the river for pot, repping trips+, and you jammed on him.

While your king flush blocker is somewhat useful when making a bluff-shove like this (the ace of clubs would be better), your post-flop "story" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You'd probably only go bet-check-bet with a few combos of club-club hands. Many of your actual flushes would triple barrel.
More importantly, bet-size tells in the micros are generally very useful. If someone bombs the river, they usually have a strong hand, and they aren't going to fold to a raise.
You can beat these stakes by avoiding any fancy plays, and by betting your strong hands and checking and folding your weak ones. You do not "have to bluff always" if there's no other way to win the hand. With KQo, I'd just fold the river to the pot-sized bet. Jam with 77, 22, and nut flushes.

P.S. I find that BOOM is quite useful for "saving" interesting hands, if you don't have a tracker/database. I often click the BOOM button (the little red star in the chatbox or the replayer) after a pot that I want to look at again later. And you can post a Boom link in the forum so that other people can replay the hand.

Max....when posting hands in the future, do not include results. It will skew the answers you get. We are not a very disciplined group

In this hand, just post up to :
Villain pots the river.....what should I do?
