    Default Some NL10 hands

    This standard? I feel like every time I put it in pre w/QQ I'm behind or flipping. There were no reads here, 3rd hand or so on the table.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    BB ($12.85)
    UTG ($11.60)
    UTG+1 ($8.55)
    MP1 ($10.55)
    MP2 ($21.65)
    CO ($2.05)
    Button ($3.90)
    Hero (SB) ($9.90)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, Q
    UTG calls $0.10, 1 fold, MP1 raises to $0.50, 3 folds, Hero raises to $1.50, 2 folds, MP1 raises to $10.55 (All-In), Hero calls $8.40 (All-In)

    Flop: ($20) A, 10, 8 (2 players, 2 all-in)

    Turn: ($20) 2 (2 players, 2 all-in)

    River: ($20) 5 (2 players, 2 all-in)

    Total pot: $20 | Rake: $1

    I guess the river bet meant he meant business, but I did a terrible job of putting him on a range since I can only beat TPGK I realize now. What's his range?

    MP1 ($10.55)
    MP2 ($10)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with K, A
    2 folds, MP1 calls $0.10, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.50, 2 folds, BB calls $0.40, 1 fold

    Flop: ($1.15) 8, J, 7 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks

    River: ($2.95) 2 (2 players)
    BB bets $2, Hero calls $2

    Total pot: $6.95 | Rake: $0.30

    How was this? Should I C/R more on the flop? Bet less on the turn? Play it completely differently?

    Hand 1 - Without a read I could see this being a fold but it is pretty close. I certainly don't think you made a huge mistake by calling, especially at the micro stakes where this could be a small pp just as often as it a big hand.

    Hand 2 - this is fine. You have a good enough hand to call here but it certainly isn't big enough to build a huge pot with.

    Hand 3 - Raise pre-flop. As played flop and turn are fine.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    hand1- what gator said.

    hand 2- Your mostly ahead here, apart from if he called with A7 or A8, but generally its just someone with like A10. I call this all day, not a stack playing situation though.

    hand3- With so many limping, punish the shit out of them pf, and also with 5 people seeing the flop isn't it a good idea just to lead sraight out? You've got a huge draw. I haven't began looking into check-raising situations so I might be well off?

    anyhow, theres my 2cents.

    I check raised for the same reason as what occured in the hand, I wanted someone to lead out, others to call and me get them to call more with my big draw. I suppose it's risky and leading out $.45 or so there might have had a better result, but I'm not sure and I don't C/R enough anyways.

    Thanks for the replies.

    sorry but this is not right

    Sry but for a full buy in? and not to mention no reads and you dont have that much invested? fold fold fold. I rarely see people shove for 100 BBs at 10 NL
    with less than AK, QQ is a serious fold unless i know the guys crazy.

    Assuming you've read the guides and strategies on this site, you should have a huge edge against people, let the QQ go, wait for a better situation.

    but hero's QQ is ahead of AK. . . i agree its a fold though. without reads I dont think you can be sure he gets it in without AA/KK and maybe QQ. fwiw at 10NL, AK rarely gets all in pre flop, in my unreasonably long experience down there anyway.

    Hand 1: I can't see the villain shoving Js or Qs; I am probably folding. I can't remember a time with QQs in this situation that I haven't run into As, Ks, or AK.

    Hand 2: I like raising the turn to see where you are at, but I might be incorrect. As played, it think you are fine. If they slowplayed a straight, its their own loss for slowplaying at 10NL.

    Hand 3: I would lead the flop. If you hit the flush, a lesser flush is probably going to pay you off, and if you hit a Q or an A you are probably getting some callers as well. The turn looks fine IMO.

    They way you played the last hand I think another c/r is in order. From the flop betting I would be putting them on draws, and of course draws are gonna fold out with a large turn bet. especially after they bet the flop you have a good chance of letting them get more money into the pot for you. And even

    careful. seeing where you are at usually shouldn't be your main reason for betting/raising.
