Had a good session one tabling 10/NL. But still cant help thinking that i lucked on a few hands. I ended up a buy in front witha sense os cautious satisfaction. There where a few hands i thought i played pretty well but i still need some feed back as to what i did right and what i couldve done better.
My stats for the session as follows:
VPIP PFR AF WSDW%
24 8 6 86

Now this first hand I had a pretty good read on this guy as being pretty aggresive, he was stealing a few blinds and cbetting with ugly flops. Ive been grilled before for slow playing pocket AA but i want your opinions of bet sizing. (ill take the flak for the slow play )

This next one i need an idea about the Turn. Probably should have pushed, i was a little worried when the Club came out. I won the pot but was it the right play?

in hand 1 you missed a lot of value. i doubt that he is folding TP here very often. raise the flop more, or raise the turn, or raise the river, or do all three. I think you could have taken a stack on this hand, and it seems like a shame that you didn't.

in hand 2 if you are playing 55 against a stack that is this short, you had better be willing to play if you don't hit a set. you don't have the implied odds to set hunt, so you have to be able to play this hand for its pair value to be profitable here. against a button raise, I would probably attempt to check-raise any flop AI, or put enough in to put him AI pf, if you decide to play the hand.

run a ratio closer to 100%/75% in terms of vpip/pfr.

ex...20/15...10/7...40/30.

however, the looser your vpip, the more post flop skills you had better possess if you want to be a winner.

running 24/8 you are NOT raising enough of your range to disguise your premium holdings...hence, you are easy to avoid when you want to play big pots, and easy to exploit when you only limp with crap.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

tbh, when people tell you do not ever slow play at donk stakes they mean it. obv you can beat donk stakes with avoiding this advice, but i think you're win rate will drastically improve by never slow playing.
