Can't access the converter at flopturnriver, as our corporate Websense has listed the site as having Malicious code !? Can anyone recommend another converter?

Anyway, I am on my first ever 5BI downswing and it has really started to affect my play. I'm taking a short time away from the tables and looking at the hands that have caused me the most grief. Any advice would be appreciated.

Only been at the table a few orbits, but it is filled with donkeys. Villian seems to be a typical donkey with stats at 63/3/1.

Im in MP with AA.

Pre-flop 1 limper (UTG - main villian), I raise to $0.40 and get 1 caller on the button and the limper calls.

Flop -> Kh Js Qc
Pot $1.25

OK that is a terrible board as it hits so many hands hard but I lead out for a near pot sized bet, $1, hoping for a TP / draw hand to call and 2p or better to raise.

Button folds and villian calls.

Turn -> 6c

Villian only has a pot sized bet left ($2.20)

Hero ?

You committed on the flop against a villain with that size of a stack, easy push.

Fair enough.

I bet that much as, at 10NL, almost any Ace and any King would call to the river and I wanted to charge them if they were going to outdraw me. Would it have been any different if I bet less or checked? or is it just a cooler I should live with?

Vs a 6x/x player just get it in every time, the amount of times they stack off with any T J Q K will easily offset the amount of times they crack your AA

OK, so at these stakes if the I see the villain will only have a PSB left for turn action, I just shove the flop.

But Button was still in the hand at that point, and OP didn't tell us that player's stack size.

Yeah, we need this hand converted or better explained.

Thanks for the responses guys.

I had the same line of reasoning, so I put him all-in on the turn and he flipped over A-10 for a flopped straight.

This downswing has tilted me more than I thought possible and now I have noticed that I'm questioning and second guessing what should be easy straight forward decisions (results based thinking imo).

Thank the poker gods for FCP otherwise I would have probably put my monitor through the window by now.

Button had 100bb's. I left his detail out, as he folded flop - but I see your point, buttons presence affects the play on the flop.

Can anyone recommend another converter?
