1) How does a pot size bet look weak? Is there a bet pot button at your site? Seems like 77/88/99/TT/JJ/78/89/9T/TJ/56 would all bet out pretty big here and a shorty isnt folding any of them. You might not even manage to fold out A9 here.

We are also pretty far behind his calling range. Probably around 25%. Thats not great when you consider his folding range is a tiny fraction of what he leads with.


2) This is pretty bad. You are going to have very little equity when called and you are probably on a loose table. It might be barely +EV in a vacuum but it certainly wont be when people start to realise you are opening any 2 cards (and they will realise). Pure bluffing is rarely profitable at low stakes, and starting out in a dry pot at a loose table planning on bluffing a hand isn't the way to beat this level. Take a hand with some showdown value instead like a KT sort of hand.

3) Raise more preflop (40c or so). The rest is standard. More money comes from the PFR + cbet + making a hand than comes from taking down the blinds.

4) Fine, although i probably only make it about $1.50

5) I probably just bet out. I want to build a medium pot against single pairs because I dont think they will stack off in a huge pot. A huge pot is going to be me Vs someone with a better 3. A c/r blows off most worse hands unless he happens to have slowplayed AA horribly.

You are FPSing alot. Bet your good hands and fold your bad ones.
