Noob questions

They dip into your MGR since rakeback is a courtesy being offered to you, so they feel they might as well collect back on it whenever they can, such as when you get free shit from them through the store, like books and apparel. FTP keeps a rolling balance of your MGR, so even if you spent 100k points 3 years ago and start playing again, they will deduct it from your rakeback.

As for those hands you posted, getting minraised on the flop at micro stakes is almost always death (they're trying to milk the pot) so you should be snap folding everything but TPGK+. And dont double barrel paired boards. 33 on a 886K board still looks good to a fish.

I was pretty certain my hand was good in hand 1. Villain's a fish, and he minraises all sorts of shit. And folding to minraises all the time is very exploitable. I have a hand with a good showdown value, and if he had any better Kx, it's likely that he would've 3betted it preflop. So that leaves draws and sets, and sets are hard to make. When the board pairs up on turn, I know that he doesn't have quads or some weird 2pair combo on flop, so it skews more towards him having draws. Anyway, I'm not too upset about the call. But I do feel kind of stupid for getting thin value raped.

The second hand, villain's like a 17/7 nit or something. I simply figured that he can't have much on that flop, so I cbet out small because I believed that he would fold all air. When he calls, I figured, "well, okay, he could have like A high and might be floating, two barrel should fold like random two overcards and bullshit", so I fired again. The river came a K, which is going to be a card that I'll be barreling all my range had I barreled the two streets before (and plus, draws from flop and turn had missed). So again I fired. But villain's actually a winning player, and knew that the river card is something I'll fire almost always..so he called with A high.

Oh and also, in hand 1, there are very few hands that I would believe villain can bet for value on river. But little did I know that villain can bet KT for value on river -_-;

What hands? like 1010?

Villains range in Hand1 is a lot more than just TP. For starters most people dont 3bet KJ and KQ preflop, so he can still have those which may decide to raise this kind of flop when they hit. But he can also have 88 and 33. If you put him on a draw then why are you just flatting his raise, especially 3 handed? You want to let him set the price and get there on his terms? Anyway I'm telling you fish always minraise postflop for value. KT is pretty thin but clearly it was value to him, and K9 just aint ever gonna cut it. Even if he doesnt have it, the other cold caller might. K9 will not win showdowns in 3way pots on the river, period. And folding to minraises postflop is not exploitable at these stakes, since these are braindead morons minraising KT, like they're ever gonna exploit you for anything. Next time have AK and let him "exploit you" with his minraises.

In hand2, yea nits will fold air, but if you put him on air then he's probably drawing to 6 outs at best to beat you on the turn. He'll check the turn if he never hits, at which point you can safely delay your cbet and take it from him. But since 50% of range are pocket pairs, he's never folding ANY of them on this flop, so you're just guessing what he has rather than waiting to find out. You might even hit a 9 and get some value out of him anyway if he's stubborn with an underpair.

Okay, you keep folding to those minraises with hands with decent SD value then
