DOHHHHHHH

I would deffo have check/min raised the river. Range merging ftw.

what is range merging?

Dudeskin8

I'd raise bigger pre at least 7x.

Post flop looks ok, not sure on river after someone bets then a call, only beating Ace high or J guess it's ok though.

im raising more pre flop without question. QQ doesnt play well 4 handed and you want to thin that field down to one or take it right there. KK4 board comes, im betting to find out where i am, probably 1/2 pot size.

agreed with OCD man

I might be wrong here but I'm pretty sure it's about changing up your play and not always making the same bets with the same ranges

Like if sometimes you're gonna min-raise pre with AA, then sometimes you need to min-raise pre with 89s as well.

Or if you always min raise the river with the absolute nuts, then sometimes you need to min-raise the river with top 2 pair. Otherwise you''ll become very readable if someone good plays against you for a long time

Correct if I'm wrong someone.

hand is well played, raise bigger pre, I might make turn bigger also
