<I would have raised this, but It was one of my first hands if not my first, and I din't know if any of these guys were donks who call draws w/o any odds.

>Ok. Basic stuff, Right bet sizing etc.? And, what do you do on this river?
Total pot: $2.24 | Rake: $0.10

bet .12c on the flop, overbet the pot again on the turn. It's microstakes you're getting called with 3-flushes, A high and 3-to a straight. It's like 7-stud, only NL.
As played: crying call on the river. I'm not raising.
As played you can easily make it 70c on the turn.

The reason to overbet here is so you can shove on the river. The only thing that would slow me down on any street is if the board pairs (and you don't make a full-house obviously) or if another heart comes on the turn with multiple callers.

Also keep repeating: "deuce of hearts! come on! you can do it! put it out there!"

Gotcha. I've wondered about utilizing the overbet. It would probably even out a few more hands where i get sucked out by some no odds calling depositer.


EDIT: Any thoughts on Mr. Uberstack?

bet bigger and raise bigger, at least potsize on flop and even more on turn, check/call or fold the river, up to you.

What's the max buy-in? 5$?

That's not so uncommon. When I run good I get there too - at 2c/4c mind you, but if you bet size correctly then you can do it at 2NL too.
Mostly it's someone who knows how to play like a maniac. You set it up by raising mercilessly with junk... get the hero syndrome going, and when they open up their range against you you should tighten up a little and you can stack them with 2nd pair. Needs a lot of buy ins behind though... can go off in the opposite direction, but I still do it every now and then.
It's really nice if you can cash out with 8 times the max buy in after a couple of hours.

Settecba.... how could I check/call? And why would I fold to a pussy bet?

lol...sorry, forgot opps bet, then call the river, and fold if MP2 raises big

Pot or over-bet the flop.
Shove the turn when donked into.

at least pot your flop and turn bets
and as played just call river
