Hand 1 do you pot bet cbet when you miss here? 5x open utg seems abit steep.

Hand 2 pre is finecheck/click raise into 2 opponants on a wet board is yuk raise more you are giving direct odds to anybody on a draw and only getting value from a kq or similar you need to raise alot bigger here in this spot. Fold river you are miles behind tbh i probably fold turn.

Hand 3 Need to work on raise sizing click raise is more often than not a bad play but i am happy getting all the money in on the flop here.

This thread should probably be moved to the clinic if you are looking for advice on these hands as you will get better responses there

LARSON7

Good luck

calcalfold

Thanks both,

Please do not move to clinic, Want to keep this as a running log in poker chat. like everybody else does

I appreciate bet sizes if hitting or missing a board needs to be worked on. I have developed bad habits in this respect at 4nl.

DOHHHHHHH

Hand 1) - Don't think we need to bomb pot on the flop. Also agree 5x as a standard open is too big, especially as we're starting to blind steal more often at 10nl, so if we're gonna be consistant with opening sizes (should be most of the time) then 5xing will make your steals too expensive.
4x and 3x from the button is fine.

I'd 3x all positions, but only recently changed that.

River looks the easiest shove ever. nh.

Hand 2) - Not sure about c/raising the flop. Alot depends on opponent, we can 3b/fold pre v alot of players who will call w/worse. Some I might even just fold pre to.

If he raises again otf we're drawing pretty thin. Just c/c. As played c/c most rivers depending on his bet size.

Hand 3) Can't call quick enough? Break the mouse!

Hand 4) Why limp? Easy open. Just call flop in position. As played now we've raised we have to go with it. He's not folding but I prefer just shoving anyway, he might do and we wanna get it in with max equity even if he doesn't. Flatting and bricking the turn is just grim.

Nice to see you having a go finally! GL with it!

ANY READS ON the VILLIANS ?

1) yeh only hnd ur got crushed are kq,k10 and lower. without reads hard to tell.

2)u need to check raise alot more to give urself to ways to win and alot of turn cards uwill hate.

3) ur by not means dead unless he has kqclub which is brutal in that spot.

4) simliar to 3 as in u willn't be dead if i had the top or his range in that spot.

grantorino

1 smaller everywhere, jam river

2 flat pre ok, you can 3b sometimes. Flat flop readless, if you do c/r make it bigger. Turn ugh, prob b/f. As played prob c/c river

3 raise pre, c/r flop, c/r turn, as played call when you are finished touching yourself with excitement

4 raise pre. I prob flat flop if you raise make it bigger and obv get it in

Your bet sizing looks poor

NColley

4x/5x pre is too big imo. I 3x all position except for the button which I min raise with my entire range.

great idea calc, as one of those who has found Nl10 tough going after NL4 I'll be following this with interest.  Good luck

walesboy

also think it is a good idea
once i am able to put more time into playing i hope to take the plunge as well. at least then the nagging i am getting about moving up will stop even if my br may drop )

calcalfold

Some great advice here, cheers

Oh, Larson, sorry I didnt reply at the tables. I have opted out of chat as dont have time.

LARSON7

lol nice1, if u ever get the time be sure to say hello:P

calcalfold

I actually cant dude, I went on to the live help when I joined Sky and asked somebody to remove my chat rights. I used to enter into pointless debates in the past. And I realised there is no point and it just distracts me from the game, so now I cant respond. best idea I ever had.

Might have another stab at 10nl a bit later tonight. Had a few pints earlier today so thought better of it.
