I am trying to play the beginner strategy with possible adjustments if I think that's legit.
Preflop: Fold in beginner strategy. I wonder if 3bet AQs vs BU is ok since BU steal range is wide?
The rest of the hand plays for itself I think since it's standard to cbet flop and bet turn with a made hand (top pair+).
Also, since I am new with NL beginner strategy and PokerStrategy SideKick I would appreciate if someone could answer 2 extra questions:
1. At my poker room the maximum buyin at NL2 is only 50 bb. I know that the beginner strategy is designed for 100 bb buyin. Do you think it's ok to play the beginner strategy with 50 bb at NL2 or should I move up to NL5 and play with 100 bb? I would actually prefer to play NL2 since I'm new to NL and need to learn from the beginning.
2. I have installed PokerStrategy SideKick but my hands are not being tracked. Do I need to configure it somehow to make it work or should it work automatically?
