Weekends suck for me and limit, so I hit the $25 NL tables when I got home tonight. I am respectable at NL in person, but have a long history of sucking at NL online. How do these plays look?

UTG+1 ($10.6)

I felt like it was a good laydown, of course until I saw the flop. In a live game, I am able to read the other players better, and can tell if my JJ is good, when unimproved. I don’t like it here though. Am I just a weak-tight pansy?

Bet to little? No middle ground here.

Hand 1: Raise more, you want his stack.
Hand 2: HH is f'd up.
Hand 3: Fold pre-flop. Push on the river, he'll think you're bluffing an obvious scare card.
Hand 4: Money isn't deep enough to make that call. Good laydown.
Hand 5: Sometimes I just call in that spot intending to drop the hammer if anyone raises behind me.
Hand 6: Well played

Good laydown with the JJ. With JJ you have a 43% chance of winning over anyone with an overcard, and you are 7.5:1 for hitting your set. At least at think those are the right numbers. Anyway, good play.

KK: When someone raises from EP it can look scary for anyone paying attention. I sometimes call hoping for a raise. At least you prevented everyone from catching an A on the flop

Hand 1: raise a tad more on the flop, start swinging the hammer on the turn. River should be a follow-through AI. You can get paid off here easily.

Hand 2: Huh? AI on the flop is g00t.

Hand 3: I don't think you have the implied odds here to make this call.

Hand 4: You won!

Hand 5: Make that same raise in hand 4. Flop is difficult. Betting might yield good results but cutting your loses works well too.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.

Precisely.
