I knew the river didn't help me because I didn't improve against anything but bottom two. Villain is passive, so I think I'm behind quite a bit here, but I also split a lot and beat some three pair hands.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($25.95)
Hero (BB) ($32.05)
UTG ($6.40)
UTG+1 ($6.15)
MP1 ($5.25)
MP2 ($5.45)
MP3 ($44.55)
CO ($34.35)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, A
3 folds, MP3 calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.15, UTG checks

Flop: ($1) A, 4, K (4 players)
Hero bets $0.75, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.75, 1 fold

Turn: ($2.50) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $2, Hero calls $2

River: ($6.50) A (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $4, Hero calls $4

Total pot: $14.50 | Rake: $0.70

Villain is loose, so his range is incredibly wide. Am I ahead on the turn, though? I'm folding river to a bet because he wouldn't have the balls to pull a two street bluff.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP1 ($2.85)
Hero (MP2) ($25.70)
CO ($33.15)
Button ($22.15)
SB ($5.05)
BB ($38.95)
UTG ($14.50)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 2, 2
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.85, 1 fold, Button calls $0.85, 2 folds

Flop: ($2.05) 8, 5, 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $1.25, Button calls $1.25

Turn: ($4.55) 9 (3 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $2.50, Hero calls $2.50

River: ($9.55) 8 (3 players)
Hero checks, Button checks

Total pot: $9.55 | Rake: $0.45

hand 1: Fold pre. Weak aces jst suck OOP...as u have jst found out.
hey.. wat the, it says ur in BB, but u call a .15c complete. ? HH mistake methinks.

hand 2: loose in wat way? is he a calling station, or does he bet with crap? I just let it go on the turn. You have a pair of 2's after the flop so pretty much Every card is a scare card for u, and u can't take away pots from this guy when good scare cards hit.

yeah I put him on a very tight range in hand 2 because he called my raise preflop, but being loose preflop he could have XYs or XYo ∀|X-Y| < 2

hand 1 - As stated fold pre-flop. Playiong weak off suit aces seems like a leak of yours because you try to justify staying in the hand when an ace hits. I have made a lot of money off of thinking like this.

Hand 2 - If villain really is that loose then this flop his a good bit of his range. I am ok with pre and on the flop, but you need to let go of the hand on the turn when he calls your bet on the flop as the only thing you beat is air.
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

kmind is on a distinguished road
 1. Fold preflop.
2. Fold c/f turn. Your hand is most likely fucked as it is and he's going to always have semi decent equity.

1) What do you put him on after calling your flop bet?
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

flush draw, straight draw, ace, set, basically a huge range of hands that either had me beat on the flop or didn't improve (I only outdrew K4 or K9)
