    ok not sure if this hand has to do with this but here we go

    main villain is 15/6, in my notes i have Chaser written down
    mp is loose and passive and will also pay me off if he catches even a piece of the flop

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP3 ($1.81)
    CO ($3.01)
    Button ($5.85)
    SB ($10.13)
    BB ($5.14)
    UTG ($1.82)
    Hero (UTG+1) ($4.08)
    MP1 ($3.86)
    MP2 ($3.32)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 7, 7
    1 fold, Hero bets $0.17, MP1 calls $0.17, 2 folds, CO calls $0.17, 3 folds

    instead of trying to highlight the hammer bet i wanted to highlight getting 3 streets of value at the micros. I have the MP with a pretty wide range here 22+a2s+k9+,jt,qj,aq+,a5+ and some sc's and suited one and two gappers. so basically wide as shit.....as for the co, i give him a range of 22+, aq+,ajs+,kq,jts,qj havent seen him 3b yet so idk if aa kk are something he would do that with or if he would just smooth them but i think its safe to take them out of his range (but leave in ak as ive seen him smooth with it before).

    Flop: ($0.58) 7, 3, J (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.35, 1 fold, CO calls $0.35

    after the flop, i obviously am stoked cause i hit my set, the rest of the board is pretty harmless, aside from the FD. with 2 people and a FD on the board odds are someone has one, so i have to bet high and high enough that if mp calls then co still does not have the odds to call profitably. Which i do not think i did. I think i was too concerned about getting action on a fairly dry board. If mp had called, co would be risking .35 to win 1.35, really good odds, so i definitely messed that up. When mp calls i think his range becomes 33,jj, qq, ajs,ahkh,ahqh,khqh,jhth,and qhjh, enough combos to definitely gain some value from.

    Turn: ($1.28) 10 (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.85, CO calls $0.85

    this would maybe be a bad card if the MP was still in the hand but this 10 does not help co's range whatsoever, so i throw in a 2/3 psb, probably should have gone for more but i wanted to set up a nice river bet for the rest of his stack, probably should have tried to get it all in here on the turn because he is not going to give me action with many missed flush draws and if it is a flush on the river i dont have to fold as i would still be beating 12 (qq, 33, ajs) combos of hands and losing to 8 (all the heart draws and jj)

    River: ($2.98) Q (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.68, CO calls $1.64 (All-In)

    Harmless river, ahkh got back door straight on me but thats only one combo that was still in his range. I should have thrown out less of a bet, or maybe just checked hoping to induce his busted draw bluff. i got lucky and he hit his queen on the end and was willing to stack off with tp.

    Total pot: $6.26 | Rake: $0.41



    its funny because this is a hand that while i was playing it i thought i played correctly and did a good job of maximizing value, whereas really there were some things i definitely did wrong and bet sizing and pot control were big parts of it.

    cant wait for next sectoin
