Some NL4 hands from small session - Going back to basics advice.

The_Don90

Starting to get my NL4 grind back on. And needed to pop out in half an hour so decided a small session to get back into gear would be ok. Some hands from that session.

Lot of hands sorry. Just basic questions.

Dudeskin8

1. Probably call fold is ok though.

2. AQ OOP I might be more inclined to just flat pre, 3bet size tho is good. I'd personlly cbet smaller against just one villain.

3. Perfect imo.

4. Defo bet that dry flop IP, as played fold river imo.

5. Defo IP against one villain cbet is usually 100% for me, good post flop shutting down.

6. Perfect again, not even a ful BI to call and he can have a LOT worse.

7. Raise more pre imo - 24p. Flop good no way you're bluffing past 3 players lol Turn good fold.

8BI starting. Up to 8.5BIs. Was going to start with 10BI but done the DTD and another tourny during the day yesterday and no cashes.

Hand 5 im in full agreement with. Didnt think i needed to post it but thought id add it into the thread.

lynx3ffect

first time i ever seen a post from u and u actually look like ur improving....finally ! :P

1. bet turn

4. always c-bet that flop

5. never cbetting

rest i prob play the same

Not a bad selection of starting hands, two AQs, a KK, AK, AJ and 77 in the space of 30 mins.

I'm surprised you're only up 1/2 a BI from a 30 minute session with these hands. I'd assume there wouldn't have been too many other hands you played, not at 4NL??

The DTD is a good bunch of MTT's to play with a small BR but I would advise you just stick solely to cash for a little while before you start taking bits out to play MTT's.

grantorino

1- Fold river
2 - I dont always 3bet, I also prob cbet less, but its fine
3 - nice hand and nice coolering
4 - depends on villain whether I cbet or not, if I did would intend to barrell the turn a lot. River is a call
5 - c/f as standard, think you can cbet it sometimes though
6 - nh
7- raise bigger pre, postflop is fine

AK v KK was worth just over half a buy in so that hurt my profit abit but really the above hands and a few more which where about as standrad as raise pre and all fold lol
