    tl;dr

    inbefore someone asks for reads or stats

    no but in all seriousness, a lot of the time your bet sizing is pretty awful. Like in the last hand theres so many Aces and flush draws in his range that he is going to be calling a lot more than half pot.

    First, thanks to both of you, definitly given me some insight and I see where ya'll are coming from (and here I was hoping that I'd finally gotten bet sizing down, lol). But one of the things that I'm hitting a block is: One of you is telling me my bet sizing is awful because draws will still be calling, but the other person says we want these worse hands to call and not to make the bet too big because then we only get the better hands to call....... see where I'm a little confused here? lol.

    Could someone please clear that up for my dense head.

    Also: I knew someone would ding me about not having stats on villian lol. I was two tabling (I know I know.... not supposed to... but when I only 1-table, I get ADD and start browsing the internet.... 2 tables keep me focused on just poker) and so I was clicking my hand history button and just copy pasting. Didn't have time to write down villian stats and my version of poker tracker doesn't have "mark hand for later review" (using an old version... will be upgrading when i can drop 90 bucks).

    Once again, thanks so much for the break down JKDS.

    EDIT:

    I added my stats and graph to the bottom of my first post. Care to give any input on that? Maybe I need to raise my PFR or what not? Thanks!

    "Looking at my old posts, I realize how much of a DONK I was. Time to change that and TRULY learn how to play poker. No more ego. No more pride. Just me, my cards, and the great knowledge bestowed upon me by FTR."
