Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $35.62
Hero: $25
Button: $9.85
SB: $23.15
BB: $35.83

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with 4 4
UTG raises to $0.75, Hero calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: A J 4 ($3.25, 4 players)
SB bets $2, UTG calls, Hero raises to $9...

Thoughts on raise size? I'm trying to figure out how to determine the perfect raise size for these situations.
PSU Class of 2011 weeeeeeee!

Your raise is just underpotsized, so it is fine. lots of cards on the turn will kill your hand so with a call I like the size of the raise.

I'd make it 7$ to fake some FE and push the turn. But this fine too. Make sure to push these flops once in a while.

Ive been potting just about every flop, c-bet or real hand, and yesterday I didnt get action on anything. Is this a bad idea? For instance, I had AA 12x last night in 2k hands, with 100% win, and less than a buyin in profit. Am I just betting too hard with potting flops?

<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.
