Cool - It worked. I love your HH converter here on FTR.

This was the first hand I played of the day on LiveAce.

Value town? Bet more on flop and turn.

Villain was really hesitant to get into big pots (with the ~100 hands I did have on him). I didn't want to scare him off.

There's really no good reason not to try and get all the money in vs a fish when you're playing with ~65BB stacks.

Also stop posting results if you want feedback. If you don't want feedback then post in wins & fails.

I didn't mind receiving feedback on this one.

You shouldn't mind receiving feedback on any hand you post if you're interested in getting better. If that's the case then don't post results as it biases the responses you get, and stop your HH at the spot you're interested in getting feedback on.

Dude - I don't mind getting feedback. I really don't understand what gave you that perception.

Doesn't look like it to me. He just called a raise with 56o, called flop with oesd on flush draw board (not too bad a call with the price you gave him) and then calls off on river when he beats bluffs only. He seems quite loose. And besides, you want him to fold flop because you have ace high, it's turn and river where we don't want him going anywhere.

Also the HH is messed up somwhere, because UTG is calling your raise without having yet put any money in... thus his position or action is wrong.

Thanks for the reply on the hand...

I've been having issues converting the hand histories from LiveAce poker. I think it's a combination of me being new to posting them and the software itself also being new. I'll figure it out sooner than later.

As far as flop, turn, river: What you're saying makes sense to me. I don't have a made hand so I want him to fold the flop and then the turn and river are where I want to extract max value. I understand.
