    probably.. yeah.. but you'll need to edit out some villains names first!!! 

    I are mr bruff.

    (Ryanc7) Go back to basics. If your going to bluff every single time oppo shows the slightest bit of weakness you become pretty easy to play against. 33 = perfect spot to flat turn in my opinion don't know table dynamics but its pretty clear he's trying to get to showdown cheap no need to spew off. Flat less 3 bets - do you flat evey 3 bet as long as you have position? K8 is not a hand I like to flat against 3 bets particularly against lambert - not - no offence - but his 3 bet range crushes all Kx as pop he will only 3 bet u wig about 8 hands lol. If u had 45 I would honor u but K8 is never good. Try to have pre flop control more, maintain aggression, call less, don't spew 3 streets against stations, play a strategy game and play less tables until you understand how to play it. Watch gripsed videos on YouTube. His low limit game is excellent.

    On the second hand you have to think about your range as the pre-flop raiser and what you would do with the strong hands in that range. You also have to think about a pre-flop caller's range generally, as well as this player's range for then leading out on this flop:

    As the pre-flop raiser there will be fewer two-spade hands in your perceived range than in the caller's range. So when he donks into you on the flop and you flat, you're not really repping a flush draw - Not only are they a small portion of your range but you'd also be likely to raise a donk-bet with them. When you flat, it doesn't make sense for that draw. When you flat it looks like a made hand. i.e. a pair. (Reads on your opponent might mean that you would flat with a draw but when you're trying to rep that draw later in the hand, you need your opponent to be aware that you would flat the flop against them. You also need them to be able to fold their hand with that read in mind)

    Now when you raise the turn it looks weird. This line makes little sense for a pair because you wouldn't raise when the draw comes in, you don't have that many flush draws in your pre-flop range and you didn't play the flop like you had one. So it doesn't make alot of sense for you to have that flush. You wouldn't be waiting for the flush draw to come in before raising some raggy 6 and you wouldn't raise an 8 at all.

    Now the board double-pairs on the river and you suddenly want to rep an 8 or 6? Would you value bet here with a flush given the opponent's line? It looks like you're changing your mind all over the place.

    To be fair you probably get this through if your opponent doesn't have JJ. Considering the way this hand played, this guy is probably just a bad guy to try to bluff.

    I'm not going to chastise you for playing a wide range of hands, in position. I'd agree that K8 isn't a good hand to call 3-bets with, especially if the 3-better has a tight range, but generally your game will benefit more from being a bit flairy and teaching yourself what you can get away with.

    I will say that you don't need to turn value hands into bluffs as often as you seem to. You can just play marginal value hands as bluff catchers if you think oppo has a wide range. That's likely to be more profitable then trying to push them off a fairly narrow range. If oppo has a narrow range, don't play marginal hands. Play big hands and big drawing hands and be happy to give up when your equity is poor.

    Love how people still think I'm a nit!

    You should have seen what I 5bet jammed pre with Evil Pingu with earlier :)

    Hand 2 if your gonna bluff then bet it like a man. I wouldn't fold anything that's ahead of 33 vs those sizings.

    Hand 3 is joke bad vs a reg totally overplayed. Call the 3bet and give yourself some options. He gave you a very nice price.

    FWIW, the reason I went smaller with my flop 3bet is cos I think Doh will 4bet ship any hands with decent equity including TP hands here cos he doesn't like to give up on a hand, if there's a way he can win it, and I think if I go much bigger I'll put him off doing it.

    Is this not maybe a case of you giving your opponents too much credit in some cases?

    Dohhhhhhh just likes to advertise that he does this sort of thing so next time you call, he will have the nuts imo

    1 fold turn
    2 fold flop
    3 wp he played it worse, I prefer a c/c on flop but w/e
    4 check turn you rep a bluff with a weak pair. 
    5 I don't think is terrible by any means, though I doubt they often fold Ax, just fold river 
    6 don't lead the turn. have a reason for betting your hand, 3bet on turn is godawful.

    basically his saying loosen up a little

    Think I'm playing too many hands, not folding to 3bets enough, floating flops too much, bluffing turns and rivers too much and not folding on any post flop street anywhere near often enough.

    Shud be easy enough to fix :/

    ty all.

    Then fold till you have sets

    congrats you'd fit in with the nl50/100 regs so well..

    though you forgot to mention to telegraph your hands postflop and play as robotically and consistantly terribly as possible.

    Maybe somewhere between this approach and my current one Donald. 

    Will keep searching :)
