Wow, I'm sorry but that is way too many hands for me to go through all of them and discuss your play. Perhaps you might want to pick a hand or two that you were particularly confused on, or that you weren't sure you made the right move.

[ainarm]

Ok down to 5 hands that I am not sure about. One that I am pretty sure was just crappy play but the others not sure about.Thanks.

Hand 1: Mista2kool overbets the pot, and you call with an open-ended straight draw. You're not getting the right pot odds to make this call. You need better than 2:1 to even think about calling. Hand 2: Not too sure. I think your pre-flop bet is a bit weak, and your post-flop bet is a bit strong considering you missed the flop entirely. When he calls your quarter, you have to be a bit worried.Hand 3: Not bad. Without calculating the pot odds, I'd guess the call was correct on the flop, and close on the turn. Your odds with 6 outs (2 tens, and 4 nines) was somewhere around 3.5:1 and 7:1 on the flop and turn respectively.Hand 4: No hand, no draw after the flop. The fold is correct. I would maybe have re-raised pre-flop though. You had position and decent cards. With a pre-flop raise, you MIGHT have been able to buy the pot on the flop.Hand 5: No hand, no draw. Good fold.I'm no pro, so if I've made errors, I'd love to be corrected. Rog

mista2kool712 shows Ad Th. mista2kool712 has Ad Th Tc Ks 8c: a pair of tens. ainarm mucks cards. (ainarm has Jd Qd.) I wouldn't have called from such an early position with that hand, its not strong enough. Nothing wrong with your play after that though.Pre-flop: llen calls. Seven_Tw0 folds. achap folds. llamaman folds. MMiikkee raises to $.04. Vampette folds. novus calls. rivagirl folds. mista2kool712 folds. ainarm re-raises to $.06. llen calls. MMiikkee calls. novus calls.I think you have to re-raise more than just 1BB. I'd raise another .06-.10 at this point. Flop (board: Qh 4d 5h): ainarm bets $.25. llen calls. MMiikkee folds. novus folds.This isn't a bad bet at this point, its about pot size. You might want to have bet a little more to really make people think about that flush draw, but that's fine. Turn (board: Qh 4d 5h Ks): ainarm checks. llen bets $.02. ainarm raises to $.04. llen calls. You definitely have to raise more than that. You've got a very good hand, and both the bet and your raise are very small compared to the pot.River (board: Qh 4d 5h Ks 9h): ainarm checks. llen checks. Not a bad play slowing down there, it certainly seemed he was chasing the flush. Showdown: ainarm shows As Ah. ainarm has As Ah Qh Ks 9h: a pair of aces. llen shows 5d 5s. llen has 5d 5s Qh 5h Ks: three fives.Unlucky that he hit a set there. He may very well fold if you raise more before the flop (although at these micro-limits I doubt it, people rarely fold pocket pairs but raising more is still the correct play). Basically he was drawing to two outs and he happened to hit one.Flop (board: Qs Jc Td): ainarm checks. Seven_Tw0 checks. achap bets $.02. Vampette folds. piesnake calls. ainarm calls. Seven_Tw0 folds. Nothing wrong before the flop, you got to see it cheaply with your T-8 of hearts. Just fold to the bet here though ... you've got bottom pair, a small kicker, and its a coordinated board. On top of that, you don't even have a backdoor flush draw. Think about it, what are you hoping to come on the turn or river? Certainly not a 9, because then you almost certainly will be beat by a higher straight. Pretty much you're hoping to hit another 10, and that could easily be beat by a straight even if you do hit one of those 2 10's remaining (if you aren't drawing dead already).Turn (board: Qs Jc Td 6s): ainarm checks. achap bets $.02. piesnake calls. ainarm calls. Fold. Same reasons as I mentioned on the flop bet.River (board: Qs Jc Td 6s Ah): ainarm checks. achap bets $.23. piesnake folds. ainarm folds. achap is returned $.23 (uncalled).

KQo is only a decent hand in an unraised pot. Way too often you will be dominated or behind.[/b]Flop (board: 8d 3d 9s): axtellcw bets $.02. Seven_Tw0 calls. achap calls. MMiikkee calls.

Seven_Tw0 folds. rivagirl folds. ainarm folds. axtellcw is returned $.09 (uncalled). Yep, no reason to stay in now.

I think everyone is in agreement that you should have reraised much more (to around .12) with the Aces. Also, you should have folded the 810 on the flop. Generally a pair and a straight draw is nice, but not here, even though it is the minimum bet. Your str8 draw is almost certainly counterfeit because it will give someone a better straight if they hold a king. Likewise, an 8 may or may not give you the best hand, as someone could already have two pair, or it could make someone a str8. If you have A10 this is a different story, as you dont have to worry about making the ass end of a straight, and you have a couple more outs to work with.
