Appreciate it.<br /><br />Yeah, bet/folding is definitely an area I need to improve (there are so many areas....)<br /><br />The QQ hand early was like my second or third hand at the table, and I didn't have much of clue of how the table was playing--or how the person who raised was playing. A few more orbits under my belt at that table and I would have much more inclined to three-bet.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-24043715772562117592016-05-07T09:21:29.577-07:002016-05-07T09:21:29.577-07:00The discipline to b/f is key to getting more value...The discipline to b/f is key to getting more value. You should be happy you went for it and just think about what you beat when raised. Fiddling with chips is neither here nor there compared to fundamental strong play; focus on your true strat for long term best results. Raise (and get used to 3betting) the QQ from the big blind; that's getting more value too.

You sometimes see raises to $2 or $3. But it gets wacky too....sometimes you see opening raises to $15 or $20.<br /><br />In a regular Vegas 1/2 game, you see raises anywhere $7 to $15, maybe $20 or $25 in extreme cases. But I guess $8-$12 is the center of the bell curve.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-48339470345216995772016-05-06T19:39:52.915-07:002016-05-06T19:39:52.915-07:00Enjoyed reading the session summary.

Most bets I see pre/flop are $10,$12,$15 but you are facing $8 or less a lot.

Also don'...Don't get too down on yourself. Also don't be discouraged by the "value bet" on the river. Here's a consideration though. When I talk about value betting rivers, I've seen the problem you usually have is when you're in position and you check through rivers rather than like above, when you're out of position and betting. My point to you usually is when you're getting checked to on a scary board, your opponent is MOST OF THE TIME (like a HUGE amount of the time!!!) trying to get to showdown cheap and has not nutted on you. That's why when you check a river through on a 3 flush or 4 straight or whatever board, you can usually bet a small value bet that will get looked up where you'll be the winner. At any rate, you missed a read and got your stack bruised up a bit. You're playing 1/1 so take a very cheap lesson from it - check / call what looks like a stone nuts or bet / fold. Pay closer attention and watch for the chip fiddling. Be aware of player actions and tells.The Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.com
