Stack sizes matter and i also believe suitedness matters. Basically with big offsuit connectors your getting REVERSE IMPLIED ODDS. Essentially when you make the best hand (like one pair) you will not get paid off and when you make the second best hand (pair of queens or kings against aces) you will not be able to find out if your hand is good without putting more money in the pot. I usually just avoid these situations.Listen to Nicoson and fold.....(unless the circumstances are right.....position, huge stacks, suitedness, donkey opponent who stacks off with one pair)

Ive been playing a couple hundred hands of micro limits a day lately and here are my thoughts:ITS MICROSTAKES!!!!! People make horrendous plays all the time. Because he is an unknown i tend to assume he is bad, since i believe that over half the players at 10 no limit SUCK.The range against an unknown includes any eight, 57,99,66. Ran that on poker stove and you have 66 % equity!Call and if he flips over the nuts make a note on him and include what his overbets mean so that you don't make the mistake again.Also include your stack size if i have around fifty bigblinds this is a snap call. If im deeper i probably think about it a little bit and then call.Summary... Microstakes = donks unless otherwise notedAm i off with my thinking?

Ok, well so far i learned i was definately overestimating my equity and the strength of my hand.....unless i was playing cribbage. Anyway lesson learned as i donked of a stack to the villians two pair. Need to quit playing while tired.

(3 players)BB checks, Hero bets $1.25, Button folds, BB raises to $5.25, Hero calls $4.Ok so how does everyone play these things. I know ive heard alot of people like to felt combo draws, but i just feel like im going to consistently be behind in these situations where over pairs dont really make up a large part of the villains range. I feel like calling was probably the worst thing i should have done...it was probably a push fold. Anyway i need some help playing these sorts of hands so please enlighten me to how you go about these. -
Thanks for all the replys, i got some good stuff. Mtdesmoines post reminded me that i need to think about specific hands in the ranges and probably play a little less emotionally. Anyways i felt like kings were good and figured i might get a call from a worse hand and shoved. Villain shows A8 of diamonds. The only thing i think justifies this play is the absolute donkness of microlimits. Against a player that i had a note on as bein solid i think this would be much more tricky.edit: More specifically i think the fact that all of the over pairs of this donk are calling me is what really caused the push

I really did not think he had a four and i thought a combo draw or another overpair were his range. With this information should we shove? Im pretty sure i am ahead of his range and i would not put it beyond this player to make a bad call. Anyway i just wanted some feedback because i am about to play a 300 BB pot with just an overpair.edit was made to hand history -

When it got to the turn i did not know what to do. The pot was growing large and i only had one pair. In retrospect i think bet/folding is probably better than checking the turn but then again thats committing an awful lot of money just to fold imo. Any help would be appreciated -
I found this website very helpful. www.beatnolimit.comAlso sheiky, did Tien end up writing an article about post flop play.

IMO this is based on how big of fish are the other players at the table plus the three bettors range. If you have seen the callers call reraises with really marginal hands (KJ, Axs actually might not be uncommon here for some of the bad players at this level (im currently grinding my bankroll at .05 .1) im more likely to repop. Also the second thing im worrying about is the three bettors range. If hes a guy that will three bet you with 88 + and AJ + I definately repop. If the four bet comes i think its time to lay it down.that said with 8 hands you probably dont have any of these reads

I have taken my initial deposit of 60 up to 300 on ultimate bet. I completed my bonus and was looking to capitalize on the bonuses of other sites. Is the standard procedure to get an epassporte account and use it for deposits and withdrawals? Also, what sites should i hit for bonuses?

i did end up pushing. One thing that influenced this was i could tell he had been the table captain before i came. On the called bluff i took about a fourth of his stack. Ive noticed when this happens to some low stakes players they seem to take it personally and will really try to bully you (basically a form of tilt).anyway i pushed, he called and flipped over pocket nines. He ended up hitting a runner runner straight and immediately leaving the table. even though i felt like puking i finally felt good about makin the right decision in a borderline situation.

just wondering what you guys thought about this. Played five .05 .10 tables at a time this weekend and i saw my $/hour really sky rocket. Plus i am trying to build a bankroll and move up limits so it was nice to see my bankroll grow so quickly. The only thing is i played more like a robot because i could really get no reads while playing that many tables. Because of this i found myself paying people off where i probably would have made a fold if i was only playing one table. My question is am i cheating my self out of some learning? How did yall build your bankrolls and become succesful at the higher limits? What should my strategy be?

Turn (board: Jh 4h Qh 9c):Smelly hobo pushed all in with an amount about equal to the pot (sorry lost the last part of this hand history)Was my failure to reraise preflop a bad play? I have found it profitable to smooth call when i think im going to be in position heads up and let maniacs (he c betted and bluffed alot) do my betting. I find they will easily stack off with an over pair or top pair top kicker or some sort of combo draw. Is this worth the risk of my opponent flopping two pair?plus, do i call on the turn now getting two to one? i believe his range was flush draw, top pair, overpair, two pair (i dont think he has the flush because he has always slowplayed his huge hands)this is my first post, any help would be appreciated

I feel that AK is much stronger at micro limits just cause so many people will stack off with terrible hands.I really dont like this spot because i feel like folding is weak/tight and calling is donkeyish. I would like to know what you guys thought process in these sort of spots are. At microstakes mine is 1. Is he loose,tight, station, or nit 2. what is my image or is he even thinkin about that 3. Pot odds, how often i need to be ahead to win 4. hand rangestalk to me
