I mean really did I? If we didn't get it all in on the flop, I probably would have folded the river.

1. Why do you only have 70 BB?
2. Is this only posted because its a RF?
3. Next time tell hud stats/reads on villians or its completely pointless.
4. I bet flop.

I have a bankroll of 6 dollars I am trying to build from a starting of 1 dollar. Lol I said I would fold river. Obviously because it's a royal. Sorry for abusing it. Next tiem it will be serious. Well he re-raised me preflop. And we had a caller, I should have probably just flatted letting the other guy in, but the diamond would have killed my action potentially, so I just shipped it to make sure I get paid. I check-raised because I wanted to let him commit himself. I had every intention of getting it all in on that flop.

I get the river comment was a joke. Btw at a BR of $6 i recomend double or nothing sngs, and since i started with $0 myself, i can comiserate. Pre action is good, and you are willing to get it in on this flop for sure, but you need to understand why this is a profitable flop. Sure you are fine with getting it in because you have outs regardless, but i think you should lead this flop as a semi bluff. If your opponent has a measly holding like JcTc you are only 53% to win. Big drawing hands are profitable because of the fold equity you get as well as having equity if you do end up getting it in.

I'm not commenting on the hand yet. However, do you think a villain who min-squeezed preflop is going to fold a JT if you donk this flop? I get you are saying you have fold equity if you donk. However, let's say his 3betting range is incredibly strong (QQ+, AK), then he obviously isn't folding QQ-AA to a donk lead on this flop. If he has AK, he might fold, but at 2nl, probably not. However, say we check and he bets QQ+, AK. He is still not folding QQ-AA; however, facing a c/r he is much more likely to fold AK.

Now let's say his 3betting range doesn't emit absolute strength, and that he can do it with alot of crap. He's still not folding Top pair + to a donk lead. He will fold all of his air hands; however, you are well ahead of all of his air hands (QT, KQ, T8, 66} etc. And the one's you aren't ahead of but are still weak are still likely to fold to a check/raise.

I'm not saying which is better, a c/r or b/3b. But I will say you have fold equity whichever route you go unless his range is incredibly strong. And if it's incredibly strong, you don't have fold equity no matter your line.

It was like a min-raise I was def priced in to call. I could just give it up on any flop I miss. I am not folding my hand for such a small raise. I didn't want to get it all in preflop with only AQs, while it is a strong hand and all, it still could be behind. I'd rather take a flop and play it from there. I can play better post-flop then pretty much any of the 2nl'ers I've ran into so far. Btw, my bankroll has grew to like 22 dollars. I entered a tournament for like 2.20, I occasionally do a large MTT with the big prize pools. Not my bread and butter as I do not usually fair the greatest in them. Playing it right now, fuck luck, hopefully my skill level will prevail.

Not sure about the flop shove....you had almost zero fold equity vs his 3betting range...In a regular pot I think its fine but not at 2nl in a 3bet pot, unless he's a maniac fish.
I suppose it was your only way to win a good sized pot though.....a 3rd diamond would have shut everything down and there was a good chunk of money in the middle.

I was thinking more along the lines of like 33 dollar tourneys, jkjk. 5nl grindage
