    1. J10 in hughly in range at this level - once re-raised on flop I would call & try to get to river cheaply as I think Oppo range is polarised to J10, 98 AJ or (if loose) kj. If River bet is hugh will consider folding.

    2. Cooler.

    3. Would fold to shove, not because of overpair but looks like small set to me. What is 1010 beating that he would shove with?

    4. Same as above really - what is A10 beating? A9 normally gets me in spots like this but I would probably only call with AK. Lots of players playing Rag Aces at this level so have to be scared of 2 pair combos as well as AK,AQ,AJ. At highter stakes I think you can discount the A6etc hands but not here, I think you will lose more often than win with Top pair medium kicker here.

    My 2p's worth - probably worth discounting completely!

    Looks like your getting coolered/unlucky alot. Dont think theres much you can do in any of these hands i would have played them the same.

    i cant see much wrong in any of your plays here m8 i would of played pretty much same way like above post just getting coolers we all get days like that just hate em 1 of those days m8 just keep at it u will come good your a solid player :)

    hand1 -  mehhhh call and re-eval turn. most ppl who minraise flop w/ tp will slowdown so you can fold to big turn bet probably.

    h2 wp

    h3  why lead the flop? waht do you hink a guy is jamming almost 100bbs on the flop with?

    h4 pretty standard tbh
  • edited December 2011
    1 ok I think

    2 fold pre, postflop obv fine

    3 I prob check flop but dont hate lead. Fold to raise

    4 Id often check back flop, as played I think its prob a  fold without a good read
  • edited December 2011

    should have got away from last 2 unless you had a read he may be at it

    Did you have a read on the guy in 1st 2 hands - I guess not but would make note

    Cooler m8, grits your s~~t but as you know thats poker!

    Hand 1 is unlucky.

    Hand 2 is a fold pre at this level, beautifully illustrated by your example.

    Hand 3 is tricky. I think i play it like you do mostly but his betting shows good strength. I'd need reads to fold at NL4 but dont mind either way. I'm not looking to get 100xbb in with 10,10 very often but if i do then this could be somewhere near optimal at this level.

    Hand 4, i like to check back to control the pot on the flop, if i am outkicked then i want to lose the minimum and take a round of betting out. Dunno if that loses value at NL4 or not. Once he check raises i may even fold but again a little unlucky.
