coolers? these are the only big hands i have lost so far,

exact thought process I would have: "If he's at the top of his range, its a cooler."

didnt have much of a read on him
but the micros like to bluff a lot when ucheck

don't slow play.
Hand 1 raise flop.
Hand 2 bet flop.

Don't slowplay hand 1

you don't have to tell us this, most of us don't care what he had.

Bet,bet,raise,raise,bet,raise,etc.

Dont slowplay your top hands unless youve got quads.

you need to stop slowplaying. you're losing a lot of value by doing so

this is microstakes, no need to get fancy

i didn't actually read the hands at the time of this post. But you did this to yourself.

JQs in mp, is this a fold to a raise from utg+1?

i dont want to sound like an arse - but these questions you're asking/hands you're posting dont make it sound like you're an above average / very competent (however you described yourself) player.

if you want to progress as a player I think you need to realise you probably aren't as good as you think you are. gl.

i stated i BELIEVE im an above avg player

and im sure i made the right calls, but i just want to make sure

because if im not, then i want to learn

im putting any hand im NOT sure of up for discussion, i want to improve, i want to be better, in saying that

At 2nl DONT SLOWPLAY. Bet your hands for value, TRUST ME. I used to do the same thing you did. The thing is you won't make NEARLY as much slowplaying as you would just betting your set and and two pair. Don't think about playing a tricky game at the micros just for the simple fact that the players aren't paying attention. Hopefully this helps you out. After someone told me this a few times i finely got the picture :P. Good luck!
