I raised river b/c i was 95 percent certain he didn't have the king of clubs in his hand i thought he would check raise the turn if he had it that didn't work out lol

You should probably read other people's comments on other hands so you get an idea of how to actually play poker

thanks for the constructive criticism you guys never cease to amaze me

raise to 20 or 25c pre-flop, theyre still gonna call with trashy hands like KQ, AT, KJ etc. and youll stack them whenever they hit a piece on a dry board.

This board is just about as bad as it gets for your hand, and without the Kc id probably just give up on the flop.

When he bets the river you arent beating anything. He isnt betting 2 pair or a set - he either has the only off-suit king in which case you split, or he has a club which is much more likely. If you shove the only thing calling you is a better hand. He probably wont fold any club.

You over thought this, and over valued your own hand which was pretty worthless after the flop.

yea just raise much bigger preflop with your big hands, its exploitable but only if someone is paying attention and as a rule of thumb at these stakes no one is. Give up on the river, he is calling with any club because he has a flush.

Correct about making it bigger pre flop i usually make it at least to 19 ish in that spot if someone raised to 5. I grinded 1-2 cent on stars a few months back and now i'm grinding on UB the 1-2 game at ub is sooo tight it's ridicolous and i'm playing at a 9 handed table like literally 80 percent of the people that play there grind so it's a little different game. Thanks for something to useful to think about unlike the other posts i get which say pretty much say "you suck" that doesn't really help. I've been grinding 1-2 cent just for fun in my off time i go to school and work so i don't have much time but i've played about 20k some hands in the past month. I bought in just for 50 then played a 30 dollar tourney and some sit and go's and was down to 60 cents then decided i was just going to grind for fun now got it back up to 20ish and just basically hovering there playing hands for free thanks for the advice guys.

Forever fail

the 1c/2c games on UB (and any other network) are not full of nits, i can guarantee you of this.

and if you believe this, why did you play this hand the way you did?

thinking he would fold any non nut flush to my raise if he did have that

dont question his play bitch

you would probably bet with KcX on the flop
hes not going to flat the turn with a Xc and if he is, he isnt folding to a river shove.

You complain that people dont give you feedback on your hands and just tell you that you suck and then as soon as you get feedback, you try to defend horrible play.

no no no i appreciate all the feedback i wasn't trying to defend anything i was just simply explaining what i was thinking
