dont particularly like pre, and I also dont like your betsizing
To the person who said they dislike pre, why do you dislike pre, folded to us on the button and we raise with suited gappers, nothing wrong i can see
I like the bet sizing in general but have some comments. Pot bet of the flop maybe a little big though. Turn could possibly be a little more, charging them to fill up.
River after the half pot bet on the turn what is your thinking? It seems to me your not fully confident in your straight on the turn so why the pot bet on the river, i guess your happy to stack if he shoves?
As for sizing, flop too big, turn too small, river looks a bit big given way hand played out, but you got paid so maybe you are right
The button is the most profitable seat in poker, simples.
I play low stakes cash, and i rekon raising any two is almost profitable here. 74s givess us options, if we dont take it down pre we can hit flushes and straights. Its onlu a suited double gapper. Its no different to say, J8s. These hands are actually probably even more profitable at these stakes than at the higher stakes because of the times we outflop our opponents and their not good enough to fold their middling pocket pair.
74s is different to J8s as the pairs it flops arent as strong. Obv we can flop flushes and straights, doesnt happen too often though, how good it is when we flop a draw depends heavily on opponent.
I can see situations to open 74s on btn, mainly against nits and guys who fold lots to cbets. I think the guys wo call light pre and call down with mediocre holdings are not the guys to do it against.
I dont think anyone in the right mind is seriously raising 74s because they think they have the best hand, but simply because they can rep something that beats their opponents hand therefore we take it down without showdown. On the occassions when they cant we can hit straights, flushes, 2 pair, trips etc.
If we can take pot without showdown great, if we can hit miracle flops great, it all depends how often it happens. Not often enough imo aginst the stationy types that inhabit microstakes cash tables. I would prefer opening K2 than small suited cards against these guys.
Now im not going to get caught up in this debate any more, unless someone else responds, simply because its clear we have a differance of opinion.
its still no excuse, good players such as him gain no benefit what so ever posting on micro threads, hes not here to make friends nor gain respect hes just here to get a few quid end of so when he gives free advice personally i would be making the most of it
having said all that i do admit your betting is so much better than before but going back to the hand you bet the pot on flop and a few said that wasn't great but i think vs bad players its good your setting up the turn were you can get so much more money in but then you waste the opportunity,
it might not sound much to you a couple of quid here and there but it makes a ton of difference at the end of the week/month/year whatever
think about the times were you get your whole stack in behind AA vs flopped set and coolers etc, when you do hit big hands you need to get the up most max from it (you need to win more than you lose obviously), sometimes you get paid and sometimes you don't but over the long run you will make more money, DO NOT be worried about losing your customer more so vs bad players just try and get as much as you can in the middle, vs better players you can think about balance more but still go for the max you think you can get
NO
What i stated is everytime its FOLDED to me. Simples. Theres a differance. If theirs a limper i likley fold.
Now im not getting involved in this anymore.
