New Challenge: Movin' On Up

A pack of feral cows chewed their cuds for .0043 seconds to convert this handFull Tilt No-Limit Hold'em $0.01/$0.02 - 5 playersSB: $4.26 BB: $2.15 UTG: $2.00 (Hero)CO: $2.82 Button: $2.69 Preflop: ($0.03) Hero is UTG with (5 players)Hero raises to $0.08, CO folds, Button calls $0.08, 2 foldsFlop: ($0.19) (2 players)Hero bets $0.13, Button calls $0.13Turn: ($0.45) (2 players)Hero checks, Button bets $0.45, Hero foldsButton won $0.42(Rake: $0.03)This fold left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't check the turn with the intention of folding but the pot-sized bet is sooo ugly.

Why is the PSB ugly? This is what fishes LOVE to do with air when they sense weakness. If he had Kx, he would've bet smaller to keep you in.I'm 99% sure you folded the best hand here.

oh no, a guy shoved in 80bb and we have AK. The only question here is if we snap call or super snap call.

That spot is nowhere near as automatic as you make it out to be. I think I call too, but it's not remotely close to a snap.

I can see this being a fold. It would be a "we are so excited that we run down the street trying to high five neighbors but forget to hit time bank and come back to our hand being mucked, fold" but fold none the less.

AK is he nuts at 6max imo.

If you are folding here it is much better not to 3bet. I mean I hate money as much as the next man but 3b/folding AK for 80bb at 6m is just suicide. Particularly at 2nl.

I don't think we play the same 2nl. I don't even think you ever play 2nl.

The stakes don't matter in this context. You folded the best hand. And no, I don't play 2NL. Never have never will.

You were right to check the flop. But you have to follow that up and c/c the turn, even though I know it sucks when you hold KK. There's just not much you get value from. As played c/c the river is fine only because he bet so small. If it's close to pot I think I fold because there are literally zero draws that missed.

[Ninja Ace 1]

So I'm so frustrated with how I'm running (and tilting) on FT that I moved to Stars. Are I a fish?

[trystero 0]

No one believes in the FTP Riggedness more than I do but...I wouldn't actually change sites. At our limits there's no reason to do so. Still, you're a massive multitabler, so you should be able to get enough value from PStar's VIP program to compensate for the loss of RB.

Checking flop is good, but I don't agree that there isn't value here. QQ/99 is going to have a hard time folding after we checked the flop. Betting half pot on the turn and one third to half pot on the river should get some crying calls from those hands.

3-bet a little bigger imo, then what SH said

I would agree with this if villain didn't open from the BTN. QQ-99 is just such a small part of his range here that I think the c/c turn is better to let him fire one shell with his air. If turn checks through, then obviously we bet the river.

We don't know whether he'll fire a bullet at this pot or not. And if he decides to double barrel with air we're going to be guessing at the river whether to call or not.Check calling isn't bad by any means since there aren't any bad river cards for us if he checks behind. But without knowing his bluffing tendencies I'd prefer to just bet and get value from the hands I know he'll put in money with.

Eh... maybe... I'd have to stay committed to stars and only stars... looks like you don't start getting real VIP payoffs until you get SuperNova
