Arghhhhhh, this is so obnoxious, this is what has been happening to me all week. I preflop raise the same thing everytime pretty much unless it's a really loose table to disguise what I have.

Here is what has been happening, 1 of 2 things:
1) I'll hit something, bet to give people bad odds and they fold and I don't get anything.
2) I'll hit something, bet to give people bad odds, they call me to the river and always make their flush/straight.

Who plays QTo to a 4x bb raise?

I should have folded to his reraise on the turn, yes. I told myself to fold, but it's so, so, so easy to click the call button. Discipline.

Button ($2.10)
SB ($1.53)
BB ($4.98)
Hero ($1.92)
UTG+1 ($0.61)
MP1 ($1.95)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, J.
Hero raises to $0.08, UTG+1 calls $0.08, 3 folds, CO calls $0.08, Button calls $0.08, 2 folds.

Flop: ($0.35) 9, J, 6 (4 players)
Hero bets $0.2, UTG+1 folds, CO calls $0.20, Button folds.

Turn: ($0.75) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.52, CO raises to $1.04, Hero calls $0.52.

River: ($2.83) 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.6 (All-In), CO calls $0.60.

Final Pot: $4.03
Main Pot: $4.03, between CO and Hero. > Pot won by CO ($4.03).

Results in white below:

Once someone in micro decides they are going to call, they're calling all the way. if you have something like TP good kicker, consider a 4/5 pot sized bet. It still gives ruinous odds to everything but a straight flush draw, but won't destroy you're stack. save the super huge bets for sets or better. it's just less frustrating that way.
