Thats good point, sir, thx! But i dont see why we should raise OTT vs bluff. Shouldnt we call and let him bluff us? Cause OTT our opponents range is its mostly air\value. So we can comfortably call and make decision OTR. There will be a lot of cards on river, when opponent will bluff us. So we will win a lot more then if we raise OTT vs bluffs. Is my logic wrong somewhere?

Cant say that i am an expert, and i would love to see other people arguing with me, but i still want to post my opinion:

  1. Its better to increase sizing preflop in this situation, even with this opponent`s open sizing. Especially in low limits.
  2. OTF its obviously a bet, but i think its better to bet larger here, cause a lot of people will float this flop with any broadway cards. If oponent raises the flop, i think its really strong hand and its a fold. The only draw raising - is straight draw and you hardblock it. So its bet\fold.
  3. Turn\river are played correctly, imo. You cant really fold to this sizing and i you dont really have value raise on both turn and river. Basically your bluffcatching here, and there are a lot of people in micro limits, who will bluff with small sizings.

I know its not my topic, but i still would apreciate, if someone tells me, if i am either wrong or right, cause i am on the learning path right now. GL

Hand History | Foien posted in NLHE: NL5 Questions
Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) BN: $11.07
SB: $4.85
BB: $5.00
UTG: $5.00
MP: $5.00 (Hero)
CO: $7.48
First of all: i opened, cause in SB sits rec player with nice fold to Cbet Flop and realy high VPIP (like 50 for 200 hands). In CO reg, but he is more on a weakish side (low 3bet pre, high fold to Cbet, low Cbet flop), but i dont have a lot of hands on him. BU = nit, BB = reg.
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is MP with K 9
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.15, CO calls $0.15, 3 folds
Flop ($0.37) J 3 9
Hero bets $0.17, CO raises to $0.64, Hero calls $0.47
At this point comes first question. My thoughts on Cbet were: 1. My range is pretty ok on this flop. 2. His range on this flop mostly draws or weak pairs.

When he raises: He should have a lot of draws, tiny bit of sets (33 sometimes, may be 99) and air. It could be sometime weak jacks, buti didnt think he plays this way. Cause i block his value i thought its ok to call here
Turn ($1.65) J 3 9 7
Hero checks, CO bets $1.00, Hero calls $1.00
Here i am not sure if its ok to call, but i guess he continues with all missed draws (TQ, KQ, FD, sometimes AQ) and onlin T8 gets there, witch should be a lot of combos in hes preflop calls
River ($3.65) J 3 9 7 3
Hero checks, CO bets $2.00, Hero calls $2.00
And here i thought its not a blank, but a card for me to bluff catch. All draws , except T8 missed, i block 9fulls and river brings another blocker to his value range.
Final Pot MP wins and shows two pair, Nines and Threes.
CO lost and shows a pair of Threes.
MP wins $7.33
Rake is $0.32

Hello,i am mostly new to poker and thats my first topic. Rly want to get better , cause right now my poker experience feels like i know a few things, but cant crush micros still (for past months i was up and down for 100 BI twice on NL 10). Now i want to learn more, so i took a step back to NL5 and also started PLO.

Couldnt find any good converter for hands. And RIU itself doesnt allow me to post HH. Would appreciate help with hand converting tool (FullTilt room)

Full Tilt Zoom Hand #170804030138: Hold'em No Limit ($0.02/$0.05)
BTN: ($5.39 in chips)
SB: ($5 in chips)
BB: ($6.94 in chips)
UTG: HERO ($5 in chips)
MP: ($5.43 in chips)
CU: ($6.50 in chips)
* HOLE CARDS
Dealt to rbenall [Ah Qs]
HERO: raises $0.10 to $0.15
MP: calls $0.15
CO: folds
BTN: folds
SB: calls $0.13
BB: folds
FLOP [7h Tc Ad]
SB: checks
HERO: checks
MP: bets $0.30
SB: calls $0.30
HERO: calls $0.30
TURN [7h Tc Ad] [8h]
SB: checks
HERO: checks
MP: bets $0.70
SB: folds
HERO: calls $0.70
RIVER * [7h Tc Ad 8h] [Ts]
HERO: checks
MP: bets $1.40
HERO: folds
Uncalled bet ($1.40) returned to MP
MP collected $2.68 from pot
MP: doesn't show hand

MP feels like regular over 250 hands (26\23) and SB is mostly anknown (50 hands 31\10)
I dont understand how to play in this situations. I feel like i lost too much on river hero calls, thats the reason i played river this way. The are a lot of bluffs on river and even some value hands that we beat. But still this sizing is more like a value sizing and i dont think he would bet AJ or worse hand like this.
