    Default Some lines to check

    My name is UnbelieveableJeff and through 75k hands of 25NL I am running at 0.2 BB/100. Introductions over, lets get to some hands. Any advice appreciated
    Sorry about the lack of pictures in the converted hands btw. I'm not allowed to use them till I have 10 posts apparently

    Hand 1: AA vs 16/5/0.5. Seems standard to me. Is it?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) -

    UTG+1 ($9.75)
    MP1 ($23.75)
    MP2 ($27.40)
    MP3 ($29.80)
    CO ($5)
    Button ($25.15)
    SB ($5.45)
    BB ($25.25)
    Hero (UTG) ($26.35)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with Ac, Ad
    Hero bets $1, 3 folds, MP3 calls $1, 4 folds

    Flop: ($2.35) 3c, 7d, 7s (2 players)
    Hero bets $2, MP3 calls $2

    Turn: ($6.35) Jh (2 players)
    Hero bets $6, MP3 calls $6

    River: ($18.35) 9s (2 players)
    Hero bets $17.35 (All-In), MP3 calls $17.35

    Total pot: $53.05 | Rake: $2.60


    Hand 2: Villain is 15/12/1.5. How is my line and what do I do on river as played?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) -

    Button ($52.90)
    SB ($5.10)
    BB ($12.25)
    UTG ($24.15)
    UTG+1 ($25)
    Hero (MP1) ($25.60)
    MP2 ($21.35)
    CO ($3.95)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Ac, Kd
    2 folds, Hero bets $1, 2 folds, Button calls $1, 2 folds

    Flop: ($2.35) 2c, Ah, Ks (2 players)
    Hero bets $2, Button calls $2

    Turn: ($6.35) Qc (2 players)
    Hero bets $5, Button calls $5

    River: ($16.35) Jc (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $8, Hero........


    Hand 3: Villain seems a standard shortstacky type player. Am I meant to be playing AJs like this?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed) -

    SB ($5.20)
    Hero (BB) ($25)
    UTG ($21)
    MP1 ($25)
    MP2 ($4.30)
    CO ($10)
    Button ($25)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with As, Js
    2 folds, MP2 calls $0.25, CO (poster) checks, 2 folds, Hero bets $1.50, 1 fold, CO (poster) calls $1.25

    Flop: ($3.35) 8c, 10h, Jc (2 players)
    Hero bets $3, CO raises to $8.50 (All-In), Hero calls $5.50

    Turn: ($20.35) 9c (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($20.35) 6c (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Total pot: $20.35 | Rake: $1

    I think that'll do for now. Any advice would be great!

    Not Giving In
    Drunk but
    1. Bet turn and river smaller I THINK. I know you don't get his stack but seems like his full pot calling range might be a tad too tight for comfort
    2. Call
    3. Yeah

    hand 1 I bet half pot on these flops because I have air most of the time
    because this guy is passive you can basically choose how much money you're putting in in this hand
    hand 2 you can call or fold, it depends on what your read on his bet sizing is but because of his bet sizing tend to lean towards calling because we only need to win 25% of the time so in absence of reads you should be calling
    hand 3 snapcall

    I don't know, these hands seem like the hands you lost, not the hands you misplayed

    I won two of them

    Thanks for your advice guys. I just don't feel confident in my postflop game at all. Haven't for some time. Is there some more generalised postflop material out there you can link me to for me to check out?

    hand 1 i dont like a shove, i like a smaller bet size on the river. against a fish id shove, but villain's stats are slightly more competent. his calling range for such an aggressive/strong line is much tighter than if we toned down the bet size just a tad

    Hand 1: Super duper standard, he's calling with a bunch of shit that loses and not as much shit that wins
    Hand 2: Call, flush draw missed and you're getting 3:1
    Hand 3: What the hell is a standard short-stack that's like the worst fucking read ever, but you flopped tptk 20bb deep so go for it
