A Badly Played Session Review

[Sheiky 0]

I've been losing a lot in the past few days and have felt that my game sucks basicaly, so while i was playing today i copied and pasted a lot of hands i felt unsure about into notepad to later post here, there are a lot of hands and i know that Zach wants one hand per thread, but i feel that a lot of them aren't that interesting to merit their own thread so it's better served as being a series of HHs to look over.

You have to call. Top two is way ahead of his range of betting hands here.

Threebet the flop, don't worry about him having a straight, if he does, oh well. You have to be looking to get it in when you have KK on a 352 board

I don't think I would fold this. Once again, top two is usually way ahead here. It's fairly likely the donkshove is a combodraw or a worse two pair, rather than necessarily a straight.

This is fine.

[Acid_Knight 2]

Most of these hands are so weak tight that I will need a little time to compose myself before addressing them all.I can see why you're losing dude, most of these hands are played pretty poorly on multiple streets.

[Metternich 0]

Yay, someone else who plays $10 NL, now I don't have to look dumb trying to figure out the right answer for $25 NL games.1. Standard, I c/c river2. Call getting 3-13. I always take the lead postflop if I played aggressively preflop, not c-betting this is bad.4. Standard.5. I call river.6. Its an easy fold to donk bets at this limit8. Shovel that flop9. Standard10. Your line looks weak, plenty of things you beat play this way (FD etc). I call turn and call most rivers11. I might c-bet if I've been really tight, otherwise fine12. Standard.

[Acid_Knight 2]

1. Standard2. Bet/fold turn. Call river as played.3. Raise mroe preflop OOP. I c-bet a lot here. The flop looks bad to him too.4. BET THE FLOP!!! Fold as played.5. Call river. Raise more on the flop.6. This is ok.7. River bet is awful. C/C there and also lead the flop.8. Shove flop. Why are you not shoving the flop?9. This is ok.10. Bet more on the flop. Why are you folding the turn?11. This is ok. I would c-bet here frequently. The board is fairly dry.12. WTF are you doing checking the turn after catching the best card in the deck for your hand? I would call when that comes back to me.13. This is ok.

These hands are tilting me so hard. I started getting blurred vision once I read the K10 hand. If I'm consistently playing you I'll be trying to play most hands and will be double barrelling you tons.
