Hand # 1: Was the push RR on the flop spew? I had 99-TT in his range, but figured more likely was TPTK so figured to get money in before he hit is A or K.

Ultimate Bet

Blinds: $0.05./$0.10.

UTG: $2.54

MP2: $5.78
MP3: $4.69
CO: $1.04
Button: $10.09
SB: $4.94
Hero: $4.45

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is BB with Q Q
UTG calls, 4 folds, MP3 calls, 3 folds, 3 folds, Hero raises to $0.6, UTG calls, MP3 calls.

Flop: 9 T 3 ($1.85, 3 players)
Hero bets $1.3, UTG folds, MP3 raises to $2.6, Hero raises all-in $3.85, MP3 calls.

Turn: J ($9.55, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $9.55)


River: Q ($9.55, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $9.55)


Results:
Final pot: $9.55

Hand # 2: Villain 33/11/1.7. Should I have pushed over his raise?

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.10 BB (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP1 ($4.60)
MP2 ($9.57)
Hero ($5.90)

UTG ($3.18)

Flop: ($1.15) 2, A, T (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB raises to $2.5, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $3.15

Hand 3: I assumed a made flush on the river and C/F. I thought about betting out, but would have pretty much had to go all-in to make it meaningful. If he had the flush, I was just handing him chips... My usual Two pair vs. made flush dilemma...

 Hand 1. Pre-flop is perfect, and I like your flop lead - it's big enough to win the pot, small enough that someone may call with a losing hand, and small enough that you can get away from the hand if it looks dangerous. Think I'd be folding to the re-raise here - but it's close.

Hand 2. Well played. It's hard to laydown kings, but they are awfully compromised when an ace hits the board. I put villain on ten ten here though, cos your line also matches AK exactly and he's still prepared to dance

Hand 3. Well played. If you weren't so shortstacked I would suggest betting the river but, as you pointed out, the only meaningful bet you can make is all-in. Villain's line is exactly how I would be playing 55 (maybe 54s, but I fold pre-flop). If they made their flush then you did well, they were calling with bad odds.
don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

 I like how you played all of them. You can't fold QQ in hand 1

I would play hands 1 and 2 exactly the same way, bet sizing and everything. I'm not sure if that's correct or not, but take that for what you will.

Hand 3... I don't like checking the river. You're announcing that the flush card scares you and inviting him to steal the pot. As played, I would fold.

BTW, why aren't you playing with a full buy-in?

<SaltLick> are you seriously losing to a blind guy

playing any shorter than 75 buy-ins makes life difficult in many ways...

Okay, you're gonna love this logic, but hang with me...

I was done w/ $2NL and it's erratic behavior but didn't really wanna risk $10 a pop for my sometimes stupid all-in accidents. Unfortunately UB doesn't offer a $5NL... so I made my own... by buying half at $10NL.

Yeah, yeah, I know it doesn't work that way but it's the best I could do...

...and before you all remind of the reasons why this is dumb, I've started buying in full after 10K hands at the half buy-in. So my $5NL experiment is technically history...

Glad to hear it, sarbox. That's pretty ridiculous though, not offering 5NL. Jumping from 2NL to 10NL doesn't sound like much fun. If it were me, I would just take a risk and buy in full at 10NL somewhat underrolled.

Speaking of BR, your sig confuses me. Why are you playing 10NL with over $1,000?

It's about minimizing the cost of my education... I figure I'll move to $25NL when I can beat $10NL full stacked over 20K hands. I figure moving before that just means I'm paying more for my mistakes!

Hand 1 on the flop the pot is $1.85 and villains have only $1.94 and $4.09 left and you have an overpair. You can't fold.

Hand 2 you should check behind on the flop, you turned a hand with showdown value into a bluff. The only hands that fold to your bet were hands that you were beating anyway. See a turn and take it from there. Don't be afraid to lay down Kings with an ace on board.
Must get more aggressive - Tonight we dine in $25NL! rah rah rah! etc

Your discipline is admirable. Just don't start complaining about bad beats at 10nl 'cause there'll be many. Move up to 25nl when you're comfortable.
