there is no god

if your roll is still enough for NL5, keep playing as best as you can

if your roll is below your BR management amount for NL5, move back to NL2 and grind it back up

That's it really, keep playing as well as you can with BR management and determination or quit.

There is a God.
Maybe he just doesn't like you.
Or maybe his name is Lee Jones.

hand 1 - c/r it up on the flop like 3-4x
hand 2 - cbet heavier, I'd bet at least 1.50, rest is pretty standard if you don't want to become too nitty
hand 3 - if you called because you had notes/reads, nice call
hand 4 - 3bet at least 3.5x (I go 4x if I'm oop) I think flatting the 4bet is a pretty bad idea, you don't really want a multiway pot with AKo either so just shove it or fold (but you guys are kinda deep stacked too so it may be fine there). It makes things hard though, and I don't think you have enough experience to play it well deepstacked post flop in multiway 4bet pots so just keep it simple preflop.


and try not to get sloppy with reloading, you never know when you'll get dealt AA/KK

pretty much everything kimseong said is correct.

I refuse to believe that God has anything to do with people winning or losing at nl5.
Pretty sure even God couldn't make a solid player lose.
Furthermore, I think these hands were all misplayed, except the AA which is sorta ok (preflop is good, etc. not much left on flop to play for, but I might c-bet slightly more).
You should enjoy people calling with crap as that is how you win. You posted 4 hands where you lose over 5k+ hand sample.

Never slowplay anything there. When you flop a set, you can go POT, POT, ALL-IN and stack their bottompair or w/e. Overbetting is also great tool. I tried out some nl5 last month and whenever I got something like AA pf, I just open shoved and got 2+ calls like every time.

I'm pretty sure the other guys think there is a god lol

i see you everytime at my tables, didnt know you were datho.
