5NL: Looking for leaks, etc
Description:
My first video for Pokertrikz. I wanted to make this video to find out what my leaks are, and if anyone has any constructive criticism please let me know. A lot of people assume micros is easy but for some of us we are trying to improve while running into a wall. I know I'm not a good player now but am willing to put the time and effort to become one. I am currently in a break even stretch and can't really figure out what's going on. Thanks for watching!

I also play on full tilt i just play NL2 i dont have the roll yet to move up to NL5, i play a lot like you. but i agree with the other persons that have commentet on the A9 on the Axx board, if you dont want to play it when you hit you top pair, then you should have folded pre flop. and as H_H_H says, punish those limpers they often just fold and you get a nice little pot, and maby it keeps them from limping in the future because they know that you will raise them.

Guest #2: If I bet here and miss, what can we do, B/F or C/F? I get into this spot a lot and usually keep betting out but get called, and miss. AKo is near nuts at 5nl but yeah that spot I'm not looking to go 3 way. In terms of table selection, how do I best choose tables for max profit? I usually pick tables with full stacks, and at most 1 or 2 shortstacker if I can't help it. H_H_H: I will take these comments to mind. I haven't been too active in limped pots and just check it down, but a bet might earn me more profit.

I quit watching after you folded the A9 on the Axx flop. Very weak play. I also recommend attacking the limped pots more. If villian limps and you check your BB and get the flop HU, just donk for 2 BBs on good board textures. Its auto-profit against most villians.

Most of the video was pretty standard. I agree with the guy below saying you shouldn't have folded A9 on an Axx flop. At least call the flop and if fires again big on the turn then you can decide if you want to fold or not. With your royal flush draw hand you probably could have bet out the turn after the PFRer checked both flop and turn, you'd take it down a lot of the time. Also good fold with the AK hand, you would have won but it was the right move, you dont want AK against two opponents AIPF. I'm not sure how many hands you've played, it may just be variance and you could just be running bad and getting coolered like you did a few times in this video, you might not be selecting the right tables either. One piece of advice though I can give, learn how to fold in the micros. If a passive fish suddenly check raises you, on the flop and turn and you hold an over pair or TPTK, you've got to learn to give it away, even at 5nl. Also from some of your thoughts I think you may 3bet non premiums too often. I think if you're playing 5nl, all you need to do is 3bet AKo, AKs and JJ+, that's where you're going to get most of your value from.

That's the thing here Guest, I am playing this board by cbetting, and checking to showdown but whenever I get donked for full pot it's hard to determine what he's got, and usually I am outkicked.
