hmm I don't think you beat much. he could have AK or a spade draw like QJss, AJss, AQss, but those we cannot say for definite. In position I think people are less likely to semi bluff draws, you see it more from check raises. KQ, QQ are very likely. I got that you're about 25% against this range - QQ,AKs,AsQs,AsJs,KQs,KsJs,JTs,AKo,KQo,JTo. Not sure what exact pot odds are but we probs need more that 25% and like I said the spade draws are not defo.
I raise to 50c preflop and closer to 80% flop in these spots. of I forgot about 33 that is also possible making it even worse for you.
Good fold; the wheel draw just got there and villain's line looks like they either have showdown value or a draw. Their river c/r is also huge but still leaves a small amount behind, which is a strong line and a betsizing tell imo.
H1 Im not too familiar with heads up dynamics but I imagibe KQo plays better as a 3bet pre.
Don't lead flop. He will cbet this board a lot.
Dont lead turn.
H2. Either flat his lead to trap, or raise bigger.
On turn u have to raise this a lot bigger. He's making a blocker bet by bettig 4 into 20. Raise this.
Hey guys, my first 500 hands of 6max , 2NL zoom. I have a lot of hands, where im lost, obviously. I have read one book so far, will add more, but need to get some practice too. Oh these first days ...
#1 - Should have taken a stable line c/c ? PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
H1 - Flat flop
H2 - c/r flop is an option,river db is fine rest is spew
H3 - Fold preflop.
Thanks for your input
#2 - why is river reraise spew? my opinion is his line is more illogical, i rep way more.
River b/f seems kind of exploitable, but when i reraise him i should be pretty nutted and they know that.
No need to limp it. Regarding your thought process of keeping villain in the hand, do you really wanna see a flop with only 2bbs in the pot , and the flop comes down 7 3 2 rainbow.
Just raise it.
As played im betting river. He never has you beat and its unlikely he bluffs again
Just a quick check to see that this play is ok. Not quite sure what to do after his shove. Perhaps I should have called his flop bet instead of reraising?
Don't trust your heart with decisions involving money, your mind seems to know better.
I'd fold QQ here too until we have reads on how crazy they are.
"...and paying off with bottom pair/weak kicker... " I don't think you draw bad conclusions from this but I'll state the obvious that just because he does this postflop doesn't mean he get it in pre with a weak range. If anything, his range will be even stronger pre since he likes calling with weak hands. (edit. but this might not be true anyway, just hypothesizing(?))

Yeah pretty much chaulked it up as you wrote. And I figured I would hopefully gain additional insight if it gets to showdown.
