    Yoyo

    I know I have a lot of holes in my game so I hope someone will help me out and teach me a thing or two. My main concern is what do you do in early positions when your dealt lets say K J s and the blinds are still low at 15/30 ?

    i looked at a couple

    Game 1
    Hand 2 (AKs)
    ship it preflop, ship it on the flop for sure. it worked out for you but you have so much equity on the flop you have to just get it in so he can't get away from a scare card. In general when you have a 1/4 PSB left in your stack, you know you did something wrong.

    Hand 3 (KK)
    Reraise much bigger, you're out of position, make it about 600 to go and hopefully induce a shove over.

    Hand 4, 6, 8 (suited A-rag) I think you're burning too many chips in spots like these.

    Hand 7 (AQs): Raise 375 preflop instead of 450

    Hand 9 (QJo): If big stack was very passive ok, but I wouldn't mess around at all with the bubble like this. Thinking big stacks will put you all in with ATC and you pretty much have to fold everything.

    Hand 10 (A2s): Just bet the flop instead of C-R.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    I thought the AKs hand (#2) was kind of interesting. I was surprised at first baudib wanted you to ship it. Then I ran it through the stove. Even if we say villain can only have a set or an overpair (which is really conservative) you still have 43% equity. With 625 in the pot already, you only need 39% equity to get it all in here. Then obviously if we start adding top pair hands and lesser flush draws you're in even better shape.

    Thanks you for your answears guys


    About tha A X suited hands how should I play them instead ?
    Because so far I've tried to limp in sometimes and see the flop cheaply hoping for a flush draw and I rarely play them even if I hit the A because of the kicker trouble. Sometimes I raise with them trying to pick up the blinds and if not I still have an ok hand depending on the flop. So should I fold it more often ?

    About hand 9 that was a bit of a gamble but if I remember right he didnt play to many hands waiting for us to bust out.

    with hand 4,6,8 your on the BTN so i don't think raising is bad when the blinds are as high as they are. you should never be limping when you get to this stage
