wtf i can't play cash anymore.. 60 BI down to 40 BI for 2NL..

I put in $50 on stars, and thanks to the milestone hand I got more capital to work with.. I was just trying to improve my game until I want to move up in stakes.

I have been very cautious picking my hands and I just have faced endless stream of bad luck

I need some advice. I really want to get better at the game but I just kept losing it is very frustrating.

this hand is absurd. just check back and pot control turn. i dont mind betting but river is competely pointless, the only better hands that will fold are KT/AT and QQ-AA. You can make a thin value bet on the river but shoving accomplishes very little. no worse hands are going to call and you're rarely getting better hands to fold

i got a bit thrown off by his turn check. didn't take into account that he could have 2 clubs. He did take a long time tanking turn though. the bad streaks of luck didn't help here either..

betturn for value, river ur hand shrivelsalot, although u can thin value bet.

bet around .45, since u can have missed many hands, then fold to a shove. you can call a shove from a spazzy russian or whatever, but in general.

I prefer a bet on turn at nl2. It's decent vs regs at NL10 actually they play face up mostly bet all fds but not NL2

not sure what u're doing on the river
you block Tx that you are targeting with that, no J is folding at NL2 I assume

For stats
1)Cbet less flop, less OOP on turn, more on the turn IP
2) 3bet more all positions
3) open way more buttons, more cut offs
4) cold call less

actually if you raise so little huge cbet% is good I guess, fucking Barry Greenstein style
thats why your redline goes up

the river shove:

lets see so if he has a worse hand, checkback and shove are the same to us (assuming he never calls with worse), so we discount those situations
what matters is what he does with better hands; he'd have to fold over 67% (?) of the time for it to be profitable, since we are overbetting 2x pot
we win $0.8 two-thirds of the time and lose $1.6 one-third of the time.
then we try to define his river range, find the hands that beat us, and guess how often he's folding those... which is very player dependent

most of the time i just checkback river figuring i'm likely good and theres little value in betting
