am i betting pre too hard on these hands? all three hands occurred at the same table back to back to back. i thought for for sure someone would get sick of the "bullying" and call me down, but nada. i couldn't even get the shortstack to shove on hand #2.

Don't limp KK.

In the last hand, don't just limp with kk. You raised twice in a row at this point so you will likely get a call if you raise again.

sorry, posted hands in reverse. last was first, first last. i don't usually limp kings but it was a fairly passive table. i tried switching things up by raising kings afterwards. still no action.

On a passive table, you want to raise kings because people will call you with weaker hands.

If table is tight, then you just have to widen up your stealing range, and add more speculative hands, not toppair cvalue hands in your oppening range.

But if there is no fish at the table you better leave this table for another one.

Either way, it's a bad idea to limp premium hands at 2nl because your missing tons of value. Don't try to play tricky poker, stick to abc and you'll do fine.

u r betting for value from draws and TP, checking it only lets them hit their draw if they are passive.

I'm pretty sure it's against the rules for unl games to fold around to the BB.
