nice hand - i play it the same if i'm playing smart. probably i just bet the turn incorrectly if i'm multi-tabling.

why are you playing 0.5/1 though?

I like it but I'm not sure I can do it without a read. You're not raising PF with a lot of hands that have a 2 in em. If I'm B with a mid pocket pair or over cards I'm checking behind on the turn.

Tim,

hi welcome.

this looks like a very strong play; and one that probably works great up at the hi limits, like 2/4.
At micro; however, we have found it's best to just bet when you got it, and fold when you don't. No trickeryness.

Preflop is very ambitious.
This is pretty borderline to be coming in with KT off.
Unsuited Broadways don't play too well OOP, and you will be OOP against any non Blind that calls you. Good luck with an Ace flop, or a T, and you can be dominated.

let me give some advice and don't take it too hard.

Read:
1. Getting Started in Hold'em, by Ed Miller
2. Small Stakes Hold'em, by Miller, Malmuth and Sklansky.

Sklansky also wrote Theory of Poker.
It's for later, once you get the basics down.
There are a lot of sophisticated Mathematical concepts in TOP.
Do you like Math ? I do.

One more thing.
Only play .5/1 if you have at LEAST $300 in your Poker Bankroll.
You can move to $1/2 once you have $600.

Remember:
1. Read books
2. Post Hands.
3. K.I.S.S.
4 Bankroll Management

good luck.

At micro; however, we have found it's best to jsut bet when you got it, and fold when you don't. No trickeryness.

Strat post of the year. I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.

It's only really funny if you realize that tim has more than likely said most of the same things to Actuary at some point.
