dunno why you think your opponent played this hand badly enough to be in the no money everyones solid thread when you played it atrociously and demostrates why you need to concentrate on the basics before you even start thinking about more advanced play.


preflop you have an UTG limper , why are you limping behind and even letting the BB play the hand.If you raise and isolate the limper the BB out of position with 72o IS folding . UTG is not fully stacked and is limping UTG he either has aces and/or hes a fish. If you raise and he reraises he has Aces and you fold.Otherwise he likely folds you take down the blinds and the dead money from the limper and move on.

If UTG calls and checks that flop ,cbet 2/3 pot and he will be folding like he did in the hand cos he missed the flop, if he check raises you he likely has a better Ace than you so you fold.

as you played it you are on the button and limp , you have a massively wide range here, he checks the flop and you bet pot. You've been talking about how you bluff does he think you are just cbetting air here since unlikely to have an Ace else you would have raised pre.On the turn you only bet 1/3 pot . You talk about seeing great spots to bluff raise yet you give him a great opportunity to do it to you.He called your cbet so you have to include lots of Ax in his range and what Aces do you beat?You are saying that you are scared of the ace.

and straight draws and flush draws at 2nl is probably calling such a weak bet if not raising you. Checking behind on the river is about he only thing you did right when flush and straight draws got there and better aces have you beaten.

The way to beat 2nl is to play tight an agressively in position,and value betting.The way to spew money is by limping and letting poor players hit big hands cheaply and then donating them money.

So pull your EGO in admit you suck preflop , watch the videos i linked you to earlier in this thread that you have totally ignored and try and sort out your preflop play , then try and sort out your post flop play then keep doing it and build your bankroll , then when you know what you are doing after 20k hands showing a consistent winrate start and look at ways to improve your winrate.

Huh, wonder if one post can be made a sticky? More people that are trying to learn the game (me included) should read this.
