Posting the hand history in a way that I cant see all the numbers tilts me far more than people outdrawing my set when I give them odds to do it
bet at least 3/4 pot prob more on flop and turn. I go broke as well
I cant see names and pot/stack sizes at same time, which makes it awkward to read. Just dont copy the hh number and its easier see the hand
Maybe its my thinking that gets me into trouble
You had 80 million callers pre flop, charge then on the flop they seem like happy customers
Infact overbet the pot and make em all pay ahahahahahaha evil laugh thingy
Also you may think o I'll let em catch up, they will not catch up they will outdraw you and you will feel like a complete twonk
<terrible analogy/>
But min raising ANY hand pre is just awful bud. We raise to build pot and isolate. The min bet UTG practically brings in every "nice looking" hand, which in turn brings in the blinds. If you playing 7's this way, intending to fold to any scary flop you may as well flat, opting to call a moderate raise looking to set mine. But if you are going to raise you need to make it around 70 there, at least giving yourself the opportuninty to pick up the pot pre or on the flop against maybe 1/2 customers. If you min bet there and take the flop multi way, there is no such thing as a dry board..
If your going to play it, play it with pressure rather than initiating a limpfest, where you give everyone the chance to see the flop. If you raise bigger pre you isolate your hand and are going to find it easier to put your (fewer) customers on a particular range, rather than groping in the dark.
Also, someone makes it 125 pre, your likely calling. So considor the chips your willing to min bet call raise with, then dont worry so much about check folding flop, as you'd be willing to commit far more than the 40 pre if raised in any case.

As for how to play monster hands on the flop, I am very much with DOHHHHHHH on this one. Small bets basically just give folks reasons to chase. If the opponent doesn't have an A on an A-7-x board against our 7-7, simply put we're going to struggle to win a monster pot.
If you watch someone like LOLUFOLD, he bets aggressively with his top pair, set and air ranges. It means when he hits a hand it's always going to earn him the maximum while giving him a great chance of winning with his bluffs too.
