Hi all,

just startet to play NL2 some weeks ago, I'm therefore playing very basic strategy.
Have some hands here and I'd be very happy for some feedback about my play to improve :)

Hand 1

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $6.91 (345.5 bb)
BB: $2.18 (109 bb)
UTG: $3.29 (164.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $2.08 (104 bb)
CO: $7.01 (350.5 bb)
BTN: $2 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K♥: A♣:
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.06, CO raises to $0.18, 3 folds, Hero raises to $0.42, CO calls $0.24

Standart raise, we get a 3-bet and we 4-bet - shuld we simply go all-in here? Anyway he calls....

Flop: ($0.87) 9♥: 2♣: T♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.52, CO calls $0.52

We are OOP but I decided to go for a conti-bet. Whats your opinion on that? The pot is already pretty big so the conti bet is also a big one....Looking at the flop again I thik that most of the hands call here ... overcards, overpairs, straight draws...should we simply check/call? or check/fold?

Turn: ($1.91) 2♠: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

we didnt improve the hand so we check/fold..

River: ($1.91) 6♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

same as on turn...

pretty expensive play here. How could I play better here or was it fine like that?

Results:

Spoiler

$1.91 pot ($0.07 rake)
Final Board: 9♥: 2♣: T♥: 2♠: 6♣:
Hero showed K♥: A♣: and lost (-$0.94 net)
CO showed J♥: J♣: and won $1.84 ($0.90 net)

HAND 2

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): $2.01 (100.5 bb)
BB: $2.10 (105 bb)
UTG: $9.39 (469.5 bb)
MP: $1.99 (99.5 bb)
CO: $2.12 (106 bb)
BTN: $2.10 (105 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7♠: 7♥:
UTG raises to $0.06, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.05, BB calls $0.04

we cann call according to call 20 rule for set-value

Flop: ($0.18) 4♥: 4♠: 4♣: (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG bets $0.08, Hero calls $0.08, BB calls $0.08

strange flop we hit full house but actually I was pretty unsure how to play this hand. UTG does conti-bet. I call here as we have a good hand. Should we fold? or maybe raise?

Turn: ($0.42) T♦: (3 players)
Hero?

Now this is a bad card for us, every 10 makes a better full house, A10, K10, 10 10 could be possible hands for UTG raiser.....what to do here? Check? Bet?

Turn: ($0.42) T♦: (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG bets $0.40, 2 folds

So I decided to check and UTG did a pot-size bet...that appears strong to me and I fold.

Results:

Spoiler

$0.42 pot ($0.01 rake)
Final Board: 4♥: 4♠: 4♣: T♦:
Hero mucked 7♠: 7♥: and lost (-$0.14 net)
BB mucked and lost (-$0.14 net)
UTG mucked and won $0.41 ($0.27 net)

HAND 3

In this Hand I'd like to know if I could have made more money:

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $2.18 (109 bb)
BB: $2.33 (116.5 bb)
UTG: $3.27 (163.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $2.10 (105 bb)
CO: $3.32 (166 bb)
BTN: $2 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K♣: K♠:
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.06, CO calls $0.06, BTN calls $0.06, 2 folds

Nice Hand with KK, I raise and get 2 calls

Flop: ($0.21) J♥: T♥: T♣: (3 players)
Hero bets $0.15, CO folds, BTN raises to $0.65, Hero raises to $2.04 and is all-in, BTN folds

very wet board, I decide to bet for hand protection.
we get a re-raise - as he did not raise pre.flop I think I'm ahead with KK, only a T beats us. As the Pot is already pretty big I decide to push all in. He folds....would a call make more sense here and hope to get more value on further streets?

Results:

Spoiler

$1.51 pot ($0.05 rake)
Final Board: J♥: T♥: T♣:
Hero mucked K♣: K♠: and won $1.46 ($0.75 net)
CO mucked and lost (-$0.06 net)
BTN mucked and lost (-$0.71 net)

HAND 4

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $1.53 (76.5 bb)
BB: $1.76 (88 bb)
UTG: $2.04 (102 bb)
MP: $5.45 (272.5 bb)
Hero (CO): $2.82 (141 bb)
BTN: $6.26 (313 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J♥: K♠:
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.05, BTN calls $0.05, 2 folds

Standard raise

Flop: ($0.13) K♥: Q♣: 9♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.09, BTN calls $0.09

We hit top pair and conti-bet

Turn: ($0.31) J♦: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.23, BTN calls $0.23

We hit 2 Pair, but also straights could be possible now. Should we go on betting here or simply check/call or even check/fold because of possible straights?
I decided to bet.

River: ($0.77) 7♣: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.49, BTN calls $0.49

This card doesn't change anything so I decided again to bet....should I be more careful here regarding the drawy board? Or is betting on every street good here as we have a strong hand?

Results:

Spoiler

$1.75 pot ($0.06 rake)
Final Board: K♥: Q♣: 9♠: J♦: 7♣:
Hero showed J♥: K♠: and lost (-$0.86 net)
BTN showed Q♠: Q♦: and won $1.69 ($0.83 net)

LAST HAND 5

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): $2.35 (117.5 bb)
BB: $2.03 (101.5 bb)
UTG: $3.09 (154.5 bb)
MP: $2.17 (108.5 bb)
CO: $1.87 (93.5 bb)
BTN: $1.44 (72 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q♠: Q♣:
UTG raises to $0.06, MP folds, CO calls $0.06, BTN folds, Hero raises to $0.22, BB folds, UTG calls $0.16, CO folds

We standard 3-bet and hope to get all-in. We get 2 callers.

Flop: ($0.52) 8♠: 3♦: A♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.22, UTG calls $0.22

Don't like the A here, but I decided to conti-bet vs 2 players.....was that a smart move? I'mm not sure...anyway we get one caller.

Turn: ($0.96) J♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

as we didn't win the pot on flop and didn't improve the hand, we simply check/fold...villain checks behind.

River: ($0.96) J♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.31, UTG calls $0.31

another J on the river. I thought as villain didn't bet the turn, he hasn't got the A and we have the winning hand. To see a cheap Showdown, I bet pretty small. Again I don't know if that was a good move?

Thanks a lot in advance for going through my hands!!!! Hope to go on improving my play :)
Regards, Lacsap

Hi, firstly I have formal advice for you - when you post multiple hands, post one hand to one thread :) .

First hand: I am not sure about cbet here. Some players can overfold 3b/4b pots, some are stations and call everything. Hard to decide what range he can 3bet/call in this positions (on NL2). If he can slowplay PF QQ+, I prefer x/f here. You still can bet turn after his xback on flop. I think if he decide to check back on flop, we have a lot of fold equity on turn and we can take pot easily. If you decide to bet flop, you can bet smaller sizing. 1/2 of pot or less than 1/2p is enough on 4 bet pot.

Second hand: I prefer donk bet here. You are in 3way pot, which means you need more protection, especially on this board. Every 8+ card can potentially kill your hand. Which means 60% of possible cards can degrade your hand OR kill action (you cant continue with betting). Weak players can call with overcards, so you can bet 2/3 for value and protection here. As played, good fold on turn I think.

Third hand: Again not clear spot for me but I think 3bet on flop is kinda overplay. I dont know how we can beat from his calling range. Maybe some draws but he has a lot of equity with this hands. Depends on Jx hands play. Can he overplay Jx hands here? Does he play draws aggressively? I prefer call his raise and consider next action by turn card. On bad cards (like hearts, Q or 9) I would consider fold.

Fourth hand: Flop good. Turn you still can bet but with lower sizing. He can call with some Kx hands or two pairs but you go even with his range. You can continue only on good cards (full house) but on this card it is clear check/fold for me. I dont think he calls you with worse hand and also you cant call against his bet ( zero bluffs and bets only str8).

Fifth hand: On the flop, just check. No reason to bet on Axx board with QQ. If he bets, you can call once. You can call flop and turn if you know he is overagro (especially on 3bet pots or after you check). But against a lot of players at NL2, I think you can just fold on second barel, players are too passive.

Hi. I'm sitting here on my mobile.... Too much scrolling here :) so only 1 hand, hand 1.

That's not a board to c-bet. you bet. Villain 3 bets and you call. You already told villain you're not that strong. You totally missed the flop too. I would check fold.
