    Hero ???

    I have no idea what I am doing or what to do. I think he would 4bet me pre with QQ+. When he calls on the flop, what does he have? Chasing a FD? Overplaying 77/88/99? Does he have me dominated with JJ? Seems the most likely hand. Should I b/f this turn or c/c c/f?

    Bet for value. I think you're giving fish too much credit. Yes, he will overplay those mid-pair hands you've mentioned, he'll overplay overcards, he'll overplay 65/67 and some random other hands as well.

    It's always good practice to put villain on a range but vs. a fish all logic is thrown out of the window. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't "overthink" a fish's range.

    bet again for value.
    his stats indicate he's a calling station even though 30 hands is nothing really.
    He's gonna call with a lot worse than JJ preflop OTB.

    He has 1.5 pot left in his stack. I think he would of raised you on the flop with better hand.

    Bet pot or push. If you check and he goes all in would you still call? I think I would.

    Bet for value ~.60c. The flop calling range id give this guy here is {AJ AQ AK 77-99 possibly KQ JQ of hearts as well a small % of the time} I think this guy stacks off pre with JJ+ most guys do at 2nl from what i can remember, haven't played 2nl in a while so correct me if i'm wrong but generally the chips tend to go in preflop with JJ+.

    So bet for value i can see this guy calling 3 streets most of the time with a second best hand, and if he raises break down the previous action of the hand and adjust his range then form a decision on the best line to take, also take into account his ability, image and if theirs any unique dynamic between you and the villain i.e is he constantly trying to get into pots with you and play back at you etc.

    Don't level yourself into thinking a guy is messing with you when he really isn't though just because you have a decent strength hand on a dry board which you don't want to fold, which is what i used to do a lot thankfully rarely ever now.

    As already stated, bet for value. There's little or no reason to see monsters under the bed. If his actual holding has you beat, so be it. You seem to be well ahead of his range, so play against that range, not against just the portion you're trailing.

    Cobra,

    hey, i know this is off subject, but i thought i might ask ya about this. Again I apologize for going off subject, but I do feel it is relevant.

    Cobra, since Full Tilt has opened up are you able to move your Roll over to there?
    Me being a yankee i'm not sure, but i know you can do the opposite now, Tilt-to-stars....

    The reason I ask is because you may greatly benefit from switching sites. I'm sure FT is a buzz a bit right now because it just re-surfaced , but in general i think the player base will be smaller. It seems a lot of the time you only have a very small sample on a player.

    The only thing I don't know is if there is 2nl on tilt, but you seem like you'd do just fine at 5nl.

    Hey i could be way out of line, but i don't think so. I can tell you try and use your tracking stats as best you can, but w/ small samples its really hard to trust the data.

    no idea what to do
    We have an overpair on a paired board and a passive fish as a villain. How many choices can there be?

    Bet for value slash protection - button is almost always floating or getting in a mess with 77-99 on this board.

    Bet for value because I think he shoves preflop with anything better than 1010 after you raise.

    if you haven't made a deposit before on FTP then don't do so until you can deposit enough to max out the first deposit bonus

    If you're not excited to bet here, then you picked a bad target for your pre-flop 3-bet.
