Is limp calling here a huge leak?

Limping to setmine is ok, a big raise won't accomplish much as the BB demonstrated :-)

After BB raises and gets calls, you're getting 3,8:1 meaning that if you hit your set, you need to win at least five more bets for the call to be profitable. I think that's realistic.

So yes, limp calling is fine.

Someone please correct me if this logic is flawed.

1 is wrong. This is 2nl, nobody is going to be bluffing turns and rivers even close to a balanced frequency unless they are more or less a maniac. Villian doesn't have that much air he floats the flop with, some AsKx which could be enough to bluff a lot with but he definitely won't have an overly high amount of air. Also his sizing is basically a dead giveaway that he wants to gii with a strong hand, I seriously doubt people will do that with a bluff at 2nl. Also remember that it's easy to bet when you have the nuts, but players at 2nl will not always remember to bluff.

How much money per hour approximately does a regular make who four tables zoom 0.08/0.16$ 6max ?

4bb/100 at 4 tables would be around $6.40
not even worth calculating rakeback

I have question, how to know that i am beating limit? Because i saw another people stats and for example NL2 15k hands -2bb/100 -30usd and he is playing NL5 but he is not beating Nl2?

don't worry about what other people are doing. you don't have to beat one stake to play the next one.
If you can win 30+buy ins you're probably a winner

Is this fairly standard? Hadn't really been in a spot like this before, online anyway.

All players were very stationy and had multiple fish tendencies btw.

I know I absolutely Butchered this hand... Fold pre or call? Fold post I assume

hand 1 is good
hand 2 I feel like turning my hand into a bluff ott and shoving but it's a realy crap shoot if he's folding his value range. If any of his pp have a heart for sure not. As played it's fine.

Villain is a new player, played 3 hands in their first orbit hasn't raised yet.

(1) Q9o kinda sucks. Just fold and look at the next hand?

(2) My strength is limit HE. In limit, the PF call is a no-brainer in a blind battle, and my post-flop line on this board is going to be call the flop, raise/fold the turn, and (with initiative) bet/call the river. Should I follow a similar line here, or does raising the turn make the pot too damn big for second pair? Would a raise ever even get called by a worse hand?

(3) On the river the pot, and the bet I am facing, is awfully big for second pair. What business do I have calling? At the same time, if I fold on what is basically a brick (would A5 or 56 have led flop and turn?), what am I doing calling on the turn?

1) No, folding is ridiculously nitty
2) Raising the turn is bad
3) You called turn because you could've been ahead on the turn, you could've improved OTR and he could've checked or bet smaller. Now that you didn't improve and he bet big just fold. Bluff catch could be conceivable at HS but it's not going to make money at micros without reads.

Given the stakes, the lack of reads, the flop and turn action, and the board: what is the largest river bet you would call?

Results:

Hero calls 30 BB

SB shows K 8 (High Card, King)
(Pre 59%, Flop 13%, Turn 7%)
Hero shows Q 9 (One Pair, Nines)
(Pre 41%, Flop 87%, Turn 93%)
Hero wins 90.1 BB
Rake paid 3.3 BB

1.4 BB was deducted from the pot for the jackpot.

I'll take the money, but I feel kinda dirty.

I'd have a tough time folding if he bet like 12bb although it's probably not making money.
Make a thread if you want to ask a lot of questions and have a more detailed discussion.

When I have a strong hand, I don't know how to extract maximum value. Hand 1, should I shove? Although a shove and overbet is so small, I had a small feeling that a shove may get a fold which I didn't want. Villain typed to me "idiot" then called to find out the bad news so I think I could of jammed.







Karma, is that you?










This hand, I had no clue wtf I was doing. I just knew my range crushes his and I put him on 77-99 which has SDV but still wants to protect its hand and get value against overcards. I thought a river donk would be fishy/bluffy since the board is now a full house but I think shove was way too strong and I should have slowed down and made a pot sized bet like 110% of pot which looks more bluffy than a shove. Shove here is way too strong I guess

H3 you think psb ott is protection? Just check and let him own himself with bluffs and tt-jj.

H1 is probably good, he can find a fold if you jam.

H3, I would assume that TT-JJ would be 3betting me PF in this hand. Of course, IDK since he is an unknown but I can see pocket 77-99 not go for river value bets. I think if I bet river but something more reasonable, it would be called by 77-JJ almost a good chunk but this is such an usual spot because I rarely run into these kinds of boards with big overpairs

Villain is 24/13/0.0 over 285 hands. He flats the PFR then flats my squeeze but he has no 3 bet range so hard to know what he would have here.
