i am starting this because is weird talking to myself around the house since i have no one at home to talk about poker and also i need a constant reminder that even tho learned a lot from you i am still not a poker player and i still do some really stupid mistakes.

gonna use this thread to post my every day losing hands and analyze them here and maybe some of you will help me with advices on what and where i am doing wrong . also i am gonna post hands where i was unsure to cbet , float flop or fire a second barrel on turn.

most hands will be stupid mistakes i made, i know that very well, still gonna post them so that i will have a constant reminder that i have to fold and that i am still a big donk.

i dont care about results, the only thing i am interested is if my play is ok, no matter i won or lost the hand.


for the beginning losing hands from yesterdays sess, was 3BI down at the end of it, w/o this hands would have been a very good sess:

#1
i have been at the table for about 15 hands, and seen him shove half of them. one time he got called by a short stack and seen him at SD with 44. i called his 3bet AI now cause AK vs 22+,AK ( teh range i gave him) has 43% equity. maybe was better to fold?

Turn: ($1.92) K (3 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $3.82 (All-In), 1 fold,

here was a deff fold, since he only shoves AK,JJ,33 (even tho was hard for me to put him on 33) and very rare AQss and QQ as a bluff... but i did call ... my mistake.

i call flop cause he would cbet all of his range here.

he's betting range here is 99,JJ,AKss,AQss,AJ,TT 24 combos. when i minraise i need him to fold 50% so AJ , TT are 16 combos and that would be enough.

folded cause there is nothing in his river range that i beat besides AKss, AQss which are just 2 combos.

UTG is a dumbass ATC limp/call pre, and postflop he calls to SD anything from a pair+ w/o reraising set, 2 pairs.

no one reraised flop, and with a FD on the flop and 3way, i discounted set combos from BUT range, and just gave him Jx,FDs
UTG already told you he just calls any pair+ and folds air... so my range for him is damn wide.

Turn: ($3.16) 7 (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $3.01, Button raises to $3.38 (All-In), UTG raises to $4.08 (All-In), Hero calls $1.07

on turn, i knew that that UTG will call with his entire range and BUT may call again on his FD and Jx, any bet i make would make them pot commited so i thought i psb myself since i was gonna call any river with the odds i was gonna get. about 12:1 if they were both AI on river.

was it wrong to discount set combos from BUT range on flop?
