I always feel like I don't know what to do when I open low pockets and get called preflop. Here is an example hand:
Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.
SB: $11.64 (116.4 bb)
BB: $15.75 (157.5 bb)
UTG: $10 (100 bb)
Hero (MP): $10 (100 bb)
CO: $12.92 (129.2 bb)
BTN: $10.62 (106.2 bb)
Preflop: Hero is MP with 2
2
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.30, CO folds, BTN calls $0.30, 2 folds
Flop: ($0.75) Q 4
T
(2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks
Turn: ($0.75) A (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.45, Hero folds
Results: $0.75 pot ($0.03 rake)
Final Board: Q 4 T A
Hero mucked 2 2 and lost (-$0.30 net)
BTN mucked and won $0.72 ($0.42 net)
Most of the time I miss the flop and I just end up check/folding every street, rarely getting to showdown. Is it fine to just give up after I miss the flop or should I be looking to bluff/bluffcatch sometimes? I usually don't cbet these hands oop, especially since there are few cards that will improve my hand.
