Shove the turn.

Yeah your turn bet was so weak. Basically let him know you don't have the ace.

[ShoveOrFold]

I think raising pf with 49x the bb is a bad play. Yeah at this level people are going to call with much worse, but you are going to fold out so many hands that you could get value from. I think you need to do a better job at looking at stack sizes when you are betting. I would bet less on the flop, and then just shove the turn. Leaving him .06 is kind of pointless.

[shaunnz]

this was probebly a bad hand to post just because no matter wat i did he was calling down the hole way. with my $1 bet preflop i was 99.99% sure he was calling. as for the bet on the turn no matter wat i did he was calling and if i checked he checked i dont think he had every played before. so yea not how id play it with any1 else. but i used my $1.50 to bust him and ended up with like $14. ill post more usefull hands next time i was just angry.

[R8tme]

pretty much you are right, If he called preflop he won't fold even if he missed. That's just DONK-DONK level.
I would even say that it's the most difficult level.
For example, I had to play it yesterday and I lost 12 premiums pairs KK,AA,QQ in a row.
May be variance, but just you can't fold em.
Also this level is very difficult cause everyone limps premiums, like everyone has 50/1 stat

Open shove flop. Betting 2 is wierd cause villain only has 3. Pot is already 2. Just stick it in. It looks a lot like AK if we do. We get called by a wide range of hands that we own, like small pairs, Ax, sooted connector that hit a pair on the flop, etc. If you're going to raise 10x preflop, no reason to play it standard postflop. And you make it a mathematical losing play for villain to call with any standard draw since he's getting less than 2 to 1 on his flop call.

2NL is very winnable. Everbody puts you on AK. This is the level where people pay you off when you only raise AK,AA,KK,QQ,JJ and only bet when you have overpair or connect. Don't steal blinds. Don't raise limpers with TT and try to cb a Jack hi flop. Limp all small pairs and check-fold unless you have a set. Limp all Ax sooted and call one reasonable bet to make a flush. Limp behind limpers in position with top end straight makers like JT+. But don't spend money on raised pots with the Ax and JT hands because you can't draw cheaply. Simple. Just mind bogglingly boring. It's sort of like playing the very early stages of a Sit N Go where you play like a complete nit and just try to make big hands cheaply.
