These three hands I feel like I could have brought in quite a bit more money, but I was too timid. Something I notice I do is, I check the river way too often when I end up having the best hand and when other people will probably call with a pretty good, but worse hand. Take a look.

i'm wondering why i didn't play the 2nd one more aggressively. 3rd, why didn't i push all-in? I almost thought he had AK for a minute.

1. I bet flop, what more do you want with an aggro 99? How will things improve? And am terrified of lots of set hunters on that board if I get raised.

2. Nice hand I play it the same, avoids tricky decisions if villan pushes.

3. I might get scared about kickers at some point in this hand and find a check, but clearly this was a mental table.

4. Bad luck these people are clearly poker gods.

i think i helped my stock at that table by raising with 2-7 offsuit three times and getting it folded around to me, which i ended up showing down.

this table was playing way too tight when i got there. and even after i consistently showed steals with very weak cards, they would still fold a majority of the time.

The PokerStars 50NL game is full of nits and you can beat it just by raising a lot in late position and making continuation bets. If you focus on finding tables with bad players to your right and nits to your left, you can devastate that game.
