Plumbers Needed - Inquire within
Just need some analysis of my NL Ring play. I'm a tourney player but must hit the cash games to clear my bonuses so I'd like to up my skill level while doing so. Please help.
Sorry about the HHs, Bison just doesn't seem to work with APs lame HHs at all.

Could I have folded when he came alive on the river? I know, I know fold preflop.
I appreciate any insight you NL ring gamers can give me. Peace
Re: Plumbers Needed - Inquire within
Hand 1) Online poker is not rigged. The turn brings a tough decision though. There were 4 players to the flop, and 3 to the turn after your fairly large flop bet. I think this is a situation where you have to check/fold or check/call to small bets.
Hand 2) AQ is usually the worst hand I'll raise UTG in a full ring game. There was 1 caller to your preflop raise, throw out a continuation bet on the flop. Checking the flop and betting small on the turn worked here, but it usually won't.
Hand 3) I'd play this similar to heads up, keep in mind though there were 8 folds in front of you, meaning there is probably a slightly higher then normal chance your opponent has high cards, and he has position on you. I think I'd bet the turn as well.
Hand 4) Fold preflop.
Hand 5) Limp preflop with 44 and call any 'normal' preflop raise. Play for the set and look to get out of the hand if it doesn't hit.
Hand 6) Fold preflop.
Hand 7) 5 way action on the flop with 2 overcards to your TT. Check/fold here.
Hand 8) I would bet the flop with an overpair here. The board is 338, 2 suited with one opponent. TT is usually the best hand here.
Hand 9) Well played. Obviously you have to be aware of the 3-suited flop and someone slowplaying a made flush. I think its pretty clear that ACEOFSPADES was holding Qh. :D
Hand 10) Fold preflop. It's hard to play LAgg when limping in to a 4 way flop. Regaurdless, you flopped trips with your 94o and you have to play it agressively. Get the 66 type hands out. :(

Yep. So would you just go into check/fold after they both called my flop bet?

Yeah, I see your point. Not enough people in to make this hand worth much $ long term.

Yeah, I'm still figuring out what size bets people will call with weaker hands. I just hate being called down to the river just to find that I was beat the whole time.

Yes. I realized this afterward. "Lagg it up" and limp? I forgot the "agg" in lagg means aggressive. Derrrr.

Very good point. I couldn't get it HU because I didn't know how much to raise being the very 1st hand. Gotta take it down on the flop or let it go.

I think you're right. I could've probably made more $ off of him. He ended up quadding up by calling a flop allin with something like 78s and destacking his opps by rivering his flush.

Much better line here. I could've built it up there and really made some money. I was pretty surprised that he called my river bet without a set or better.

I don't really agree here. I'm in the CO with folds behind, and with a 3xbb PFR I'm pretty sure I'm going to take down the blinds or only get called by Ax or a loose player with a worse hand. It did work out perfectly in this situation I admit, but it seems like this hand would be easy to get away from if I don't hit.

I know. Weak/dumb. I forgot the meaning of Lagg when I posted this :oops:
TYVM for the replies guys. When I’m playing NL cash games I’m a lot more nervous/conservative/unsure than I am when I’ve got $5-10 on the line in tourney play. I really appreciate you taking the time to analyze my plays here. Peace.

You are OTB holding KTo with an early position limper. Reads definately help here. The limper likely has a small PP or a marginal hand that has you dominated, ie. KJ, KQ, AT, etc. I personally fold here, but you have position and if you are confident in your post-flop skills, I don't necessarily think a raise is a bad play here.
