A few hands from 10nl.

Well, tonight was my first serious foray into online cash mostly being a SNG player up to this point. I'm posting some HHs from tonight. I imagine the cases are pretty standard, but I'm probably too new to judge. My biggest problem tonight seemed to be not folding strong preflop hands post-flop after falling behind, and not getting value when I was ahead. Anyway, we all start somewhere.

Also, I'm not sure if putting in the VPIP/PFR stats for villains in these hands matters much. I can include specifics if anyone asks and/or wouldn't mind responses that basically say "X is good if stats A, otherwise Y if stats B". In general, these all come from tables with a lot of 50/3 and 25/7 types with one or so 25/20. I was playing around 20/18.

Too many hands, but I'll chime in
1) I fold the turn, not much we beat that will raise this turn
2) Perhaps reraise a little more pre, but other than that standard
3) Standard
4) I prolly fold or shove flop, depending on stats
5) Looks ok, but I might c/c rather than block the river
6) Check flop
7) WP
8) Bet flop, as played raise turn
9) Fine, but I cbet and bet turn more like 2/3rds

lead flop in hand 3

1) i'd like to 4 bet him pf here and take it there, otherwise you're in limbo for the rest of the hand. they often take a 4 bet pf to literally mean aces
4)i like the way you play hand 4-poor players at this level dont usually play good hands like he did; checking the turn here often induces that kind of push-semi bluff...but risks giving a free card (maybe a small bet? get him to come ott)

8)defo bet the flop with all them draws and loose callers out there
9)make bets a little bigger
