No comments on this one (I open 100% of BTNs unless there is a shortstack or some 3 betting monkey reg. It's not the case here)

the entire hand could not e played worse

This hand is a disaster. Put the SB on a range for preflop and flop.

no bueno, what are u trying to rep 4 betting turn and this size?

Fold pre.

Fold pre.

+1 you have one of the toughest regs on the site and your opening 93o. Position can only compensate for so much equity disadvantage.

Against a really good player you might want to tighten up a little, or at least play hands like 76 suited, where at least you know whether or not on the flop you should barrel the turn....As for the hand I would just give up on the flop after I get called....Nothing good can come out of this hand if we just keep betting into this guy....In all honesty I don't think I would raise this hand on the button unless the blinds where really tight nits.....

To the average poker thinker, preflop is a vacuum, in which we can raise K2o on the button because our hand is stronger than the range of the blinds.
How about this: If preflop were a vacuum, it would be profitable to raise 100% of your
hands on the button. The dead money from when the blinds fold would easily compensate for
raising 72o. So, why don’t we raise 100% on the button? Oh that’s right… 72o is terrible
postflop. K2o isn’t too far behind.

Play tight, 83s or better.

Find the middle.

Preflop could be completely fine based on the blinds fold to steal.

I am adjusting my play at 25 NL zoom tables every day. I start out by opening 100% of the BTNs and most COs. Then when no one gives me trouble I started opening MP very wide as well and there were just 3 ppl insta mucked and a BB who tanked. The regs kinda catch up with my plan so I tighten up a bit. My opening range changes every day so right now I don't open the complete junk from BTN. For now

Maybe in this unique hand the villain folds on river to barrels on multiple streets but def -ev.
