so i've been playing a bit since the start of the new year (though not as much as i'd hoped to) and although i'm struggling at times i think i'm doing alright for someone who just started taking this seriously. my biggest leak so far though has been me folding too much to aggression, typically when i cbet and people call/raise and bet me on the turn. as a result, my non-showdown graph is atrocious -- it's basically a line sloping down. i'm thinking maybe i should tighten up my range and pick better spots to bet/play back (although i also have a hard time identifying when i should play back -- when i have, i end up losing on showdown or folding on later streets), or perhaps i'm giving people too much credit for hands?

one situation that i have a LOT of trouble with is when i raise pf and end up flopping second pair, or i raise/3b pf with TT-QQ and an ace or a king comes on the flop. i'm thinking i misplay these a lot, and i end up getting into spots like these:

another spot involves me raising pf with something like AK or KQs (broadways, overcards etc), missing the flop, and then not knowing how to continue if i cbet, get called, and a blank comes on the turn. i know these are pretty broad questions but any guidance is good i suppose.

actually i think i just need to quit playing like a pussy.

also been laying off the hon lately, seems like every time i play tmm with a group of 5 we run into 18/1900+ dudes who force us to play tryhard when all i want to do is chill out and have an ez game ;p

hand 1 fine

hand 2 your flop raise is a bluff right? you want him to fold so when the turn comes and he bets again it doesnt really matter that you have 2nd pair. you might as well have air, so this is a fold. playing this way is fine i think, just note that he lead/calls on boards like these.

if not, you can just call his 1bb flop bet and see what happens, try to get to showdown which is fine too since you have ok showdown value.

hand 3 fold. terrible board and you have no equity. just curse the deck and move on.

Everything joLin said. Cbetting hand 1 is the easiest way to play it even though you hate to see the ace. I see a lot of players c/c-ing JJ-KK on Axx boards and just getting into tough spots.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.Last edit: 10/01/2011 10:13

i think u played them all fine... hand 2 flop reraise he still calls with many draws and if he donks many times its a good play, i see no leaks here this are just hands that hate the flops and u have to fold.
