1. should generally be raising whenever you open a pot
on flop you should probably just flat his bet, but if you want to raise it has to be bigger.
2. whenever there's any limpers pre you should raise with good hands like AK, the general rule is 4bb+1bb per limper, generally want to err on the bigger side when you're out of position (and when you get called usually stab any raggy flops even if you don't hit).
3. some people minraise the button with a wide range as part of a viable strategy, but at micro stakes it really costs you a lot of value, go 3 or 4x+. i think flatting flop and turn is fine, on river he's giving you good odds and the flush missed so i would click call, he could be random button-clicking with lower pairs also.
4. c/r flop, i would probably make it like 1.6-1.8 or so and bet pot or close to pot on turn and river. it's rarely correct to slowplay at microstakes unless you have the board crippled (ie KK on KK2r). |

One of the best pieces of advice given to me about the micro's was that when you flop a big hand (like a set on this board) your plan should be about how to get all the money in, In hand 4 you both have very deep stacks in a small 2-way pot. 3 streets of betting isn't going to get close to all of it in so you're going to need to start raising, especially since he's only betting half-pot. You are also out of position which means you could easily lose a street of value (like you did on the turn) by not raising earlier.
Given his line he probably would have folded to your check-raise but you can't be results-oriented like that in poker. Our friend pokraight around here stands as a shining example to that. |

Thanks a lot for your advices guys, really appreciate it!
My thought process was that by limping them and hidding my big hand, I could try to make them bet more in the pot, etc. when flop/turn/river come but now I realize this is definitely not a good way to profit and I just end up wasting my hand.
I will definitely start posting more hands. This help me a lot and it's much better than just watching videos IMO. |

I'm teaching my gf to play poker. She calls raises all the time to lead turns and I have no idea why she does it.
You need basics and theres guides all over the internet. These hands showcase that you don't know much about the game and asking questions on these particular hands wont yield you much results. Go read the basics. Then trickier stuff, the good people at lp can help you. |

Hand 1
>Call
>If villain cbets a lot, you could raise flop (as you did, but.. more than minraise), float flop and do stuff later streets since you have position. There are a lot of options.
>But the villain probably sucks so if he pairs his ace, he may never go away. Playing ABC is fine.
Hand 2
>Fold
>Your hand has no equity here, and even if you get to pair an ace or king on turn, it's vulnerable on that board. You are also out of position.
>The board is so wet that the guy is probably not fucking around when he raises there.
>The move you pulled off is decent if villain raises cbet too much and if you have blockers to what the villain is repping (with showdown value). But uh.. yeh, that board.. he has it.
Hand 3
>Call
>Villain probably has it, but you beat any 9s and under that he may have spazzed with. Flush missed. And you are getting too much pot odds. Call and note.
Hand 4
>This is fine.
>The villain probably just cbet and gave up. He just doesn't have anything here. |

hand 1:
a) don't limp
b) calling in position and making him play turns is better
hand 2
a) raise preflop, to .50
b) prob cbet flop .60
hand 3
a) open to .40 (u prob should always open 4-5x bb considering people will tend to be more passive)
b) call flop is fine, call turn is fine, call river is fine. take a note
hand 4
a) i dont mind flatting flop since it's relatively dry anyway. hands that call a c/r will most liekly 2-barrel turn as well. i also dont thinmk he's going to randomly shove air on the flop either. so i think i would look to c/r turn. as played i think leading the river is fine at this limit to try and get called by a Qx, although at higher limits i still think i would go for a c/r on river |

hand 1:
- I don't like flatting when I'm the first to go. If I've got a playable hand like you have here I'd probably open it to about .30 to get things started off rather than limping and calling a raise.
- I don't like the reraise on the flop because you don't really want to see another diamond which takes away 2 of your optimal outs. I'd rather just flat and go from there on the turn. You don't want to commit too much on draws unless for some reason you know your going to get their whole stack. After the 3bet on the flop, your definitely owned by this guy's hand.
hand 2:
- AK is way to strong not to open up with a raise here preflop.
- As played, I have no idea why you would be betting and calling raises here when you have very little you can draw that will help you.
hand 3:
- I would make the initial raise a little bigger.
- Calling flop doesn't seem bad. Turn you can decide based on any reads you have. If you want to call turn you are going to have to call that river given the low bet because the 7 doesn't change anything really. If he shows up with a king, note that he likes to bet three streets out of position with at least top pair.
hand 4:
- check/raise flop is fine. check/call check/raise turn is probably fine too. Your line given villian checked turn is fine although I'd bet river bigger. He probably had nothing. Whenever you decide to raise, make your next bet very large and try to maximize as much as you can earn.

As a VERY general rule of thumb which will help you ALOT - wheneever you have a big hand at the micros - PLAY IT HUGE, either bet pot every street, or CR huge and 3 barrel all in by the river 100% of the time - when you have a weak hand or draw, play try to improve with the draw as cheap as possible, and witht he marginal hand like AK unimproved, try not to put in any money, keep the pots small
if you do that you'll crush micros preety hard |
