yea, I know this is a very tilty and frustrating post, but I have to get it out of my system.

Though I probably did make some mistakes in these instances.

hand 1 get it in on flop. board is drawy

hand 2 fold pre. SC's OOP are hard to play

hand 3 nh

hand 4 nh

A couple things I do not like

Hand 1- continuation bet-sizing on draw-heavy board textures needs to be bigger, as does the turn raise size. On the turn you forced him to call only $11 to win about $29. On this type of board texture I'm fine with stacking off on the flop in aggressive games. However, at 25nl FR it gets much harrier as people are inclined to play their draws much more passively leaving his flop raising range at 77/66/67. One thing to look into is if you have seen him minraise a board like this before and if he showed up with a draw or with a made hand.

Hand 2- PF is fine, although I'd probably fold. I don't mind a flop lead or a c/r or a c/c lead turn line. Turn looks good, river sizing as well. If he has like QJs/KQs it's just another reason not to play sc's oop.

Hand 3- I'm not folding here and I'm raising PF now and then (to like $1.50). BTN is obviously not that strong limping behind a poster.

Hand 4- 3bet PF a decent % of the time, flatting is obv. fine. Raising the flop appears to be fine but I'm not sure it's the best way to play the hand. River is a close spot as at 25nl FR he probably cannot valuebet KK/AA/AQ here so it looks like a fold.

Much thanks.

Hand 1: I realized how small that raise was. I'm using a hotkeys program (tableninja) and I just hit "R" without thinking.
