This confused me, he previously always c-bet 100% of the time. Why would he check here? Would you check behind? Or would you take a stab?

This was my biggest loss of the day, did I play this right? I am guessing I did, and it was just a standard cooler.

I always have a tough spot playing 99, 1010, and JJ on all low boards against aggression. I don't know what to do T.T

99 i would stab at the pot, something like .75-.85
77, don't ever check your sets at 10nl unless you have a set on a rainbow board that can't turn a straight either..
and your TT eh... the way you play'd it, so passively, i don't like it :-|

- if he cbets 100%, i would put him on an ace. i would probably check behind and look him up on 1 street, fold if he bets turn AND the river.

-hes getting more than 2:1 to call that raise. i'd say its ok to raise this slightly more. you could always lead this flop and possibly take it down, or 3bet him if he raises. as it turned out its just a cooler

-stats would really help for this one. his small turn bet, when he could have very reasonably put himself all in, is something you can note for the future. i think with stats/reads you could potentially get away from this on the flop or turn but u had great odds and you cant really fold that river

1) With no reads I would just check it down and get to showdown to see what he has + take notes for future situations like this. I don't mind a fold preflop either, especially if he's a nit shortstack. In general when tight players check these type of flops it's scarier then when they bet it.

2) Standard. I would only lead it at if the villain is the type of player who doesn't cbet often.

3) What are villain's stats? (I'm assuming you have HUD by now )

On the flop, c-betting is standard; when you get raised, most players here either have a draw or 2 pair/sets, I don't think many NL10 players raise TP/overpairs on this flop (and the only likely overpair is 99 unless you got reads villain slowplays JJ+ pre). Also, I think most donks on NL10 prefer to call down with draws rather than play them aggressively. If the villains stats indicate he's a strong TAG player who plays draws aggressively I wouldn't mind stacking off on this flop, or just flatting the flop and getting it on on a blank turn for lower variance. If the villain's stats indicate he's a multitabling nit then I would just fold it because I wouldn't expect those type of players to have suited connectors in their preflop calling range and a set if their most likely hand.

On the turn it's an easy fold, it completes all the draws and a backdoor T-high FD isn't worth chasing (you could already be drawing dead).

check behind on hand 1

hand 2 looks fine, maybe bet sizing culd be better

hand 3 shove turn

I don't like stabbing at the pot here, he isn't folding much of his range here. If he is the type to cbet 100% he prolly has a pretty good hand here since NL 10 donks don't pay attention to the fact that intelligent people like you will notice. Even if he does have KK JJ TT he still might not fold and you will have to fire multiple barrells to take it downnnnnn.

This is fine, it's a cooler. Raising more isn't that necessary imo since you are probably way ahead most of the time and this one of the few times where your small raise gave him the odds he needed.

This is a read based hand. Against a good player you can fold turn since you are rarely good here and you not sure if ur FD is good anyway. Against a bad player, um you could be good but i dunno. Like Yaffie said, i think you have to pitch it on flop or turn but not river.

Why not bet $1 on river hand 1? I think quite a bit less than half the hands that raise pf (even utg) at nl10 6max don't contain a Q, A, or two diamonds, and almost any other hand folds here to a bet. If he calls just check fold all streets. If he raises, fold.

^I meant on flop
