I am new to cash as I decided tonight after building my bankroll through SnG's to give NL4 a chance. This was in fact the second hand I played after sitting down at the table. Just looking for advice based on how i played the hand in terms of bet sizing and anything else that could help me improve.

    Pre flop needs to be bigger.
    Flop needs to be bigger.
    Turn needs to be bigger...

    you get the picture lol.

    Let me know if you want explanations why.

    Pre flop at least 28-30 p

    Then usually 60-70% on flop

    Same on turn OR all -in

    Depending how deep ure stack is

    Normally with AA, I'd be raising it to about 28-32p but with a min-raise and 2 callers before you, the pot is already 30p so I'd raise to around 48p. Then as Debs say, bet about 60-70% of pot on the flop, then all in on the turn.8

    Yup your sizing is not big enough atm. you need to get maxium value from big starting hands.

    Preflop i would defo make it at least double what you made it, and you need to be betting more on the later streets.

    good luck in improving your game and enjoy nl4.
