Default What do you think of my bet sizing



First couple hands just want to see about my bet sizing

and last couple hands are the hands I played really bad.
These 3 hands are the only hands in my session that I lost more money than $2 with because I continued when I shouldnt have. The rest are like $1.50 from standard raise and cbets overall session went awesome +4BI

Hand 1: everything looks pretty good there; did villain have a history of donking weak hands/draws? or do you just usually raise donkbets in this spot?

Hand 2: I would consider raising the flop to try and maximize profits against an overpair or something like AJ. You run the risk of scaring away 77-1010, but you probably won't make much more than a bet off these hands anyways. As played, raise the turn much more, probably to at least 4.5. This makes the river less than a PSB in villain's stack, and he'll probably be forced to call with Jx or an overpair. As I said before, you'll scare off lesser PP's, but your goal should be to stack him when you flop a concealed hand such as this.

Hand 3: raise more on the flop donk, probably to at least 1.10.

Hand 4: bet sizing is fine, not sure if I like the double barrel though

Hand 5: practice what you preach; no need for fancy plays at 10nl...they'll give you their money eventually!

Hand 1: Im not really sure about the open UTG+1 with QJo, but wotever. As played i think it is fine.
Hand 2: Unless you have reads on this player cold calling with 46s for 4BB isnt the greatest play. Why are we min raising the turn? Lets try and get his stack in by the river.
Hand 3: Standard cooler. Raise more on the flop though, stop with the min raises!
Hand 4: I give up after we are called imo.
Hand 5: I think we shud raise the flop bet a bit more to like 1.2 or so. But as played just fold the turn.

hand 1: well done
hand 2: like your call pf cause u both are little bit deep, mix in such calls can be high profit
min raising turn? think half potish or bit bigger would be better to commit him for river bet. And on river I like to shove on such spots gives u some % of bluffing move.

hadn 3: wowawiwa that there are 2 mistakes right on flop! min raising a quarter pot bet on such a draw heavy board?? than button does u a great favour by 4 betting big and u just call? remember to be willing to go broke with an overpair at these limits!!

hand 4: check fold the turn, c-bets are only "bluffs" we want to make at the mikro stacks, but as u 2 barrel on the turn and he again just calls u have to fire the river as well i think.
but standart here Id guess, c-bet than c/f turn.

hand 5: again let the hand go after he calls your 3b on flop!

Hand 1: Looks good.

2: The flat call preflop seems a bit iffy but I don't mind it too much. Post flop I think a slightly bigger raise on the turn would be good to set yourself up for slightly less than a PSB shove on the river and get the remainder of his stack.

3: Raise more on flop

4: i don't think a double barrell is that bad, depends on his stats I guess.

5: Think you can 3 bet this bvb but since you've got position I guess the flat is ok. Make your bluff raise bigger and I'd shutdown if called.

First hand looks good to me.

Second hand I'm not a huge fan of the call pre-flop, I'd prefer to 3bet or fold... but you're deep enough that I don't mind it. Your turn raise was also way too small, make it bigger in order to set up a river shove. He can't really put a lot of 6's in your range, so it's likely he's going to pay you off a lot of the time.

Third hand... meh, I prefer a raise of only 3x pre-flop from the CO, but not a big deal. Your flop raise was way too small given the board texture. I'd make it more like $1.50. Obviously it's nice that the btn shoves, but a lot of the time you're just giving great odds to the sb's likely draw.

4th hand... don't double barrel the turn.

5th hand... I like a 3bet preflop a lot more than a call, but w/e. The flop raise was just too small, and the turn was not a good one to double barrel (although I do like the bet size). When the board texture doesn't change at all on the turn it's generally not a good time to double barrel, especially at micro-stakes where people are usually loose-passive and like to go to showdown.

I like to make my 3bets a little bigger and with overpair I almost never just call on micro stakes. If you feel you're beat you can just fold, otherwise raise.

The most weird/wrong play IMO was that raise to $0.7 in hand 3 imho. Only hands they can have and beat you are made sets. Instead of that $0.7 I would have raised about $1.5 on draw heavy board like that.

PS. I know that sometimes someone shortstacked shows 76 in that, but that's just a cooler and HIGHLY UNLIKELY. You have the best hand, so get as much money in as you can and don't give them the odds to call with their draws.
