Hey Y'all

I have been studying poker for around 2 months now as i was a losing player for years.

I have been reading peoples posts and blogs and thought i would write my own so i could put my thought process out there and get some feedback and ideas if not i get to rant a bit and it saves the missus from hearing any of it as she hates poker, but i hate her shitty tv programs so i guess we both put up with it...(especially 16 and pregnant- so shit :)

I have recently finished busting my ass at $nl10 and have just started on nl25...my roll is currently $1k after winning $35 today in 200 hands.

My thoughts on the limit so far is that players tend to be a little tighter and more aggro pre-flop (3 betting, 4 betting, shoving etc)

I have found it easier to apply ranges to players and situations.

I am really trying to practice the range part of my game as it is clearly so important.

I will start by posting a couple of hands that i had trouble with and see if it makes sense to any of you?

$25 USD NL Texas Hold'em - Wednesday, December 28, 10:10:59 EST 2011

player is a 26/19 agg factor 5 ( i had 3 bet him a few times and just won a pot. he was raising in the region of 30% of his range on the button so rather than 3 bet again i thought i would flat and let him bluff a bit

Seat 6: VictimBlom BTN ( $26.36 USD )
Seat 2: HERO BB( $63.72 USD )

Hero dealt 99

VictimBlom raises [$0.75 USD]
hero calls [$0.65 USD]

KonVoy folds
** Dealing Flop ** [ 4h, Ac, 3d ]
hero checks
VictimBlom bets [$1.25 USD]

hero raises [$2.75 USD]
VictimBlom calls [$1.50 USD]
** Dealing Turn ** [ Jh ]
hero bets [$1.75 USD]
VictimBlom raises [$3.50 USD]

Hero folds

VictimBlom wins $11.97 USD

do you think i was too weak and he could be folding? picked up a flush draw? or had the hand. his aggression factor on the turn is sml in comparison to the flop so i let the hand go but afterwards i thought i should have gone along for the ride as he has a lot of air and draws he would bet and he did call my check raise on the flop?

this kind of hand happens a lot and im not sure what line to take if i go against 3 betting for balance?

I thought worst case i got sucked out on with jj as aa kk he would have 4 bet pre and he was tight so i didnt think he would call the 3 bet PF with 22, maybe 99 but unlikely OOP and jj was def in the range.

Anyways answer underneath. thoughts? would you play it different? or is it just a lol and get on with another hand and play it the same?

EnTrDoFLeiNi shows [ 2d, 2h ]four of a kind, Twos.
