Micro Stakes Online NL Poker Forums

hey guys, iv been running super bad lately and have some doubt in my game, also tilt came into play in a couple of hands so im pretty unsure on how bad i played the hands, gonna post a couple of hands in different threads so you can check out the other once aswell, here we go :

PREFLOP
pretty easy call given the fact that villain is playing ck/f when he misses.

FLOP
he Cb so i think he have hit a decent % of the time, 7x 5x, flushdraws, straight draws, overpairs

TURN
he might barrel his draws, not sure though... 78 got there, but im not that sure thats in his preflop openeing range

RIVER
this is where im questioning what to do, he will call me with 9x, sometimes with 4x, maybe overpairs, but he can also still be cruching me with 66 88 75 76 78, probably a jam & call it a cooler when flips over the higher boat ?

Why are you showing results? That is destroying the discussion...
You just got unlucky because I think you played it fine. You could mix in some flop raises vs some villains but that's a total different topic..

hard to put 67s / 78s in his range opening from utg and the fact that theres exactly ONE combo of each since 3 suites are on the board.

as adriano said you could raise this flop. Especially since you said he x/f when misses, he's likely to have hit this flop or have an overpair that would stack off.

oh wow, i didnt even notice that.
thx for telling

problem is, even if he has 76x or 87x in his range, or even 7x in his range (if i understand the other posts in the thread), even if you stacked off on the flop, which you should have done, he was always going to call.

the correct play is to raise the flop, and shove when he reraises, or call when he ships.
and even if you lose, at least you can say your not the one that made the mistake, and you got your chips in miles ahead.

yea its a def raise on the flop, i even implied that myself by saying that im pretty sure he has something here, but for some raeson (i guess tilt & runbad) i decided to play the hand verry poor

agree with everything everyone said above...also take some time off poker, go get drunk or do some other hobbies you enjoy, hang out with some friends if your having doubts in your game for a couple days...if you keep playing the whole way of run bad is gonna stay in your head and affect your decisions in the game and make more mistakes in hands...sometimes you just gotta say F*CK YOU POKER.
