    Default 2 hands from 25NL and 6max leaks

    My 2nd week in 25NL.What i have made over the weekend,was lost over the weekend.Started off with set over set and small pots after small pots.But i wont give up.Variance and bad play.Starting to pick my spots for c-betting and decreasing my lost.But i still
    have a problem on playing broadways hand in position and my play on the turn and river.Evaluating opponent ranges on the flop is the thing i really need to improve.

    1 hand from today and yesterday(didnt have much time to look over):

    Hand 1
    First hand with villain.Looking on this hand ,should i do a c/f instead of a block bet on the river?

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    So in the first hand you're block betting to keep him from bluffing with 67, 78, right?
    I think you have to call a raise with as little as he has left, and block betting smaller invites a bluff imo.
    I'd try to get the most value out of 9x hands and draws (I probably would have bet more on the turn to make it an easy river shove)

    Hand2: I'm not very afraid of a T on the turn after he calls a 3-bet preflop.
    If you're going into check-call mode when the board gets a little scary I think you're loosing value from decent one-pair hands that you beat and still pay them off when they beat you.

    I'm not incredibly qualified to give advice... just my take on it.
    The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.

    getting my swell on
    1) make the turn bigger and shove the river. and still shove the river as played.

    2) this is an okay line.
