lol

Am I just getting it in bad on showdowns? Any idea how I can improve this in a general sense? Fold more?



Here's some other stats



I'm kind of bummed to see I'm made most of my money in FR. Are my 6 max stats ok? I feel like I'm doing pretty well in 6max, but maybe I should FR if it's more profitable.

So I was playing heads up against a friend today for a couple hours. I am a college student without very much cash, and I only had 3 bucks on me anyways, so we decided to play with 100 chips, 1/2 blinds, winner takes 3 bucks. So, I won 3 dollars, went out with another friend, came back and decided to play the original friend HU again for another 2 dollars, but in a cash game format instead of winner takes all.

Point is, I was doing very well most of the night, and walked away with a profit (lol), but there was a hand that bugged me alot and I just want some opinions.

The hand played out something like this....


---------------
HERO in dealer position dealt AcKd raises 5 cents to 6 cents
Villain calls 4 cents
POT: 12 cents

Flop: 5h3sQs

Villain checks
Hero bets 10 cents
Villain calls 10 cents
POT: 32 cents

Turn: 8c

Villain checks
Hero bets 25 cents
Villain calls 25 cents
POT: 82 cents

River: 7d

Villain bets 80 cents
Hero: ?????????? Folds
Villain shows JhTh (Jack high)
---------------------------------------------------

Granted, the hand could have been a bit different than that, but that was pretty much the gist of it. During the hand I felt like he was calling me out of tilt, but I still began to get scared that he had something, anything on the board (as I only had AK high) and out of tilt would call any reraise on the river, even with bottom pair. Villian was pretty tight and seemed to bet pot sized when he had a made hand.

I felt like a pocket pair was possible, and since he had called down 2 streets that maybe he had a set or something, but at the same time, I felt like he could just be holding air. I guess my greatest fear was that he just happened to hit a pair on flop or turn and decided to stick with it regardless of my aggression.

Am I ever good calling river here? Should I ever raise river here? Is this just read dependent, do I need to grow some balls and call? Or is that a leak/spew 95% of the time? I had an aggressive, probably looseish image. I just want to continue improving my game, and this hand really made me wonder if I could have played it better.

In the back of my head, I was thinking call? raise? call? raise? call? raise? and I ended up deciding that both were too risky even though I felt strongly about having the best hand.

So like I said, am I ever good here with Ace King kicker when called down two streets and bet into on river? Are there people here who would have called against someone they are trying hard to prove their ability to? (ie not some random ass player online who you'll never see again.) This guy is kind of older and kicked my butt when I first started playing poker, so I'm looking to play a great game and stomp him, so I don't want to turn over AK high and have him be like "LOL SPEW WTF?"

I know this is probably a dumb thing to post because it is probably situation dependent and read dependent, but that's why I put it in a blog :D. Thanks for any advice guys

Man today was kinda frustrating. Played about 600 hands and this one hand killed everything. Did I play it ok? I went from a 15 dollar profit session to -3... even though I ended 2 dollars up, it's still gay. lol. Poker

I'll post more stat pics and stuff, but I tightened up and played 11/8.5 today... so yeah. Trying to be less of a station, even if it makes me a nit.

Thanks for any advice guys

Hey LP what's up. Even though this is my first blog and like 2nd time posting on this site, I don't feel too newb just because I've been posting on TL for a year. You may know me as a KTF fan or Flash fan.. and overall I love SC.

But as you all know, anyone who likes SC, gets into poker. It just happens.

I guess my question is, how is this for a start @ .5/.10NL? I know only 2300 hands is a really small sample size, but I find it hard to multitable right now more than 2 tables so it makes it hard to play many hands an hour.. so this is all I've got. I don't even have any example hands to post of my play, but I will try and start posting more often in the Low Stakes section so I can get some feedback and ideas.












Anyways, I am stupid because it looks like I broke the forum layout with the pics. I'm sorry! Please look and forgive a noob like me until I reupload later. Thanks in advance for any advice and again, sorry for not posting any specific hands. I'll grab some during my next session and ask for advice.
