^larger pre, bet turn

Villain is 23/23 over a small sample, but seems competent. CO is 60/9 fish over large sample. Is this line OK?

^ seems good to me

Villain in this hand is 30/20 after about 30 hands. Would default be to just check river until we have more hands?

Third or fourth orbit at the table, second time this dude has open limped the SB. He folded the first time when I raised pre. Villain is like 40/8 so far.

This look ok; other than maybe betting a touch more on the flop? I feel bad folding such a big hand, but I don't really know how to interpret that bet size other than for value, especially from this villain.

With villains stack size I'll usually just 4bet ship here, unless you have some specific read. As played I think c/f is fine.

$.24 on the flop, call turn

vrs fish, given turn(he probably bets ax), snap fold? i kinda thought wtf, i wanted to bet river, but couldnt think of a size that i could bet fold, so probably should have jammed byself, ftw

This is villain's 2nd hand at the table.

fold flop

Villain is an unknown who sat down 3 hands and didn't get involved in the blinds. River a check/fold? My thought is that at this point he has a ton of pairs in his range and I doubt the average 4NL villain is capable of folding a boat.

Is the second barrel +EV vs. an unknown here?

Hero ???

I think pre is fine (I assume OP always open 3x from utg). Agree that the turn is a bet.

think I'm giving up on the turn and river. there's no way he's folding any overpair on this runout.

Why are you calling the turn when what appears to be a passive fish suddenly overbet donked out on the turn? Against a 40/8 fish (absent post-flop reads), I fold here. This is usually 2-pair or better.



P.S.
Thanks.

^I think he's going to c/r his sets (and pretty much only 33 and 66 b/c he limp-called) most of the time here, as passive fish tend to do. since there are so few value hands he could have here outside of sets his overbet donk range becomes more draw/TPGK heavy. I think it's worth a call to see what he does on the river at least.

You don't think the fact that he limped preflop and c/r the flop so big would suggest he's a fish and he's 1) bluffing or 2) overplaying some hand like, A9, TT-QQ or a draw? Also, we're beat by so few hands...

MP is a huge 55/22 fish who does goofy stuff like donking for 2x pot on a regular basis. SB is a TAG, seems good, I expect that he's a decent hand reader.




My feeling is shoving > calling > folding, especially since I think SB will fold QQ-AA here sometimes. But it's one of those spots where whatever I do often ends up feeling like the wrong choice. Is shoving still best if we think SB calls QQ+ 100% of the time? Should I fold pre?

Hey guys,
Im playing poker for 2month now and the first month was pretty good,
i played 888 poker and made 60$ with 8$ starting money.
After that i switched to pokerstars. Some days ago i had 100$

But now iam facing an incredible downswing, im just 7$ in winnings now and thats why:

today i played 1k hands and the first 900 were pretty good i made my 6$ but at the last 20 hands this happened:
