Not everyone is going to be a winner in poker all the time or over the long term. If you are still having fun playing, play whatever limits/losses are acceptable for you.Maybe that means playing with $20-50 at a time at the $0.01/$0.02 blinds games. Or start with $50 and play $1 tournaments. Tournaments are probably your best bet if you love poker, but are worried about losses. In tournaments you can't lose a lot due to tilting about bad beats (just your buyin), and hours of entertainment can be had for the price of one buyin.

Blind steal should not even be in your vocabulary while playing microstakes.

6x and a lower flush are probably the most likely hands here. Your call was fine.In hindsight I can't see too many hands that 2 players would be prepared to go all-in with here that I beat. -
I think he shows up here with KT quite often. He probably puts you on a good king and is betting for value.

BBFIDTS. +1Now to make this thread useful... Is there any way to choose which forum post links show up on the main page? I am so very tired of it being clogged up by bad beat forum posts (and posts that should be in there).

The only way this river check-raise is worth it is if both villains have a lot of history, and Hero has been known to check-raise bluff on the river. For the villain to value bet and then call a check raise on the end with AT-AQ, there has to be a fairly good chance that Hero has absolute air.The "normal" play is to check-call that river, since it's not like a flush is out of the question. Villain could well have a hand like Th9h through KhQh and if he does we are getting 3bet on the river a lot.

Just because of this great quote I will reply :)Hand one I can't overcall on the river unless I have a read. It is plausible that we are still winning and/or have a live flush draw on the turn, but it's a thin thin call. On the river 3way I doubt BB is betting anything we can beat, plus MP1's call should make this a routine fold.Hand two is fine until the river cold call. That was a gross card and UTG has a flush there very, very often.If the quote offended you that much, then you're definitely not the type of person whose opinion I ever valued in the first place. I am, personally, a bit disgusted by fundamentalist blind faith as it is. -
Any 2 suited cards doesn't mean he is only chasing a flush. He could have hit a one pair hand with his suited junk (such as T7 of spades).

Easy fold. What hands do you beat? Mostly one pair Ax hands. One pair Ax hands don't check behind that uber dangerous board and then raise strongly. The only legit hand you are currently beating is T9.
-
Spew. SB isn't going anywhere after over calling the turn and then getting getting over 5-1 on the river.
-
I don't 3bet that river given how it played out. He has JT or KJ/KT here very rarely. And 3betting opens you up to a cap (as you saw) when he holds AA/AK. The only time a 3bet gains is when he holds QQ (also makes sense with the action).

You still need to gambol in satellites. Your stack size doesn't give you the luxury to pass up opportunities like this.
-
BB shows 10 10 is my guess.

Blinds usually go up much quicker in the mid and late parts than they do in NL tournies. It may seem very slow at the start, but you will find yourself rather short on chips sooner than later if you catch a bad run of cards.

I smoothcall the flop with the nuts here. If we had a weak flush (ie 6h5h) we want to 3bet it to fold out hands with one medium heart, that might well call for 2 bets.

120 to win 640 = 5.3:1. He can show you pocket aces here and you still have to call.I've got pkt 8s UTG and the blinds are at 40/80 and I've got about 900 in chips. Villain(UTG+1) in question has about 320 left. I raise to 200 PF. Villain immediately goes all in. Folds to me. Standard to call this right? By very loose aggressive, I've seen this guy go all in with absolute garbage before and for no apparent reason other than to be reckless and put people to the test.I pretty much insta-called this. -
Lead or check-raise the turn. Our hand is still best nearly always, and our Q high flush redraw usually helps if we are behind somehow. Button has Tx here most of the time.

Call river.

Forcing people into making decisions on virtually every marginal hand is where most of the money comes from in limit. No folding endless hands and then rushing to push your money in when you hit that set or the nuts
-
You got 1/3 of your stack in with the best hand, then the rest in at about a 50/50. That's about as good as you can hope for.Villain's call preflop is pretty light, that is a very raggy hand. But heads up if he hits top pair or better he's golden (usually).
-
With two 10's in your hand only a maximum of 2 villains can also have the straight here. That means there's at least 2 people calling to try and outdraw you. I shovel here to make them pay to chase.

So very true.If you flat preflop, you have to stack off on this flop IMO..I'd prefer to do it in a way that lets CO at least try bluffing at the pot, so I would C/RAI
