SB - J7 offsuit - Folded to raise

$4.37 - 11.39pm

K8 offsuit - called 4c, 6 2 5 with 4 others in pot, Folded to large bet.
A8 suited (spades) - called 4c - raised to 16c, I call with 3 others, 2 spades on flop, need just 1 more

2 Js 5s 10 2 didnt get the other spade I needed. Someone wins pot with pair of 5s

J8 offsuit - folded
BB -K8 offsuit - checked, folded then to larger raise.

$4.09 - 11.44pm

SB - KA offsuit - raised to 16c - 3 callers, K 5 4 - bet 8c, 3 callers, turn is 8 no flush draw on the
board, bet 25c - raised to 75c, I call, turn comes a 7.... I check, someone bets a dollar....

I fold... someone shows 8A, someone shows 10 4....... I folded the best hand!! GRR

down to $3.10 why didnt I call?

23 diamonds, 9d A 6d, turn is a 2.... I call another bet, river is a 4.... Should of folded early there...??

$2.58, that KA hand is really annoying me now.....

BB - JK suited - Looks like a decent holding, someone has raised to 64c, I push all in for $1.90 more, he calls
He shows JQ and I take the pot home, netting $4.93.

SB - 6J offsuit - Folded

Q9 offsuit - Folded to raise, was going to fold anyways.
J3 offsuit - Folded
75 offsuit - Folded

$4.91 - 11.54pm

AJ offsuit raised 8c - 4 callers, Q 2 10, someone bets out 64c...... I fold.

23 spades - called 4c, multiway pot - Folded to raise of 16c, theres quite a lot of action on this hand preflop.
Flop comes 9s 4h 5h, turn comes 10d, river is 6h, pot size is now $9.05, someone wins with JA of hearts.

BB - T2 offsuit - Folded to raise
SB - T2 offsuit - Folded to raise - LOL same hand twice in a row!

66 - called 20c in late position, flop comes 4 7 3, multiway pot now I fold to a 64c bet.

Turn comes 5, which would of given me the straight, river comes 6.....!!
3 spades on board - Someone shows 2 spades for flush

35 suited - folded to raise
JA offsuit - raised 25c - 2 callers - reraised to just over a dollar, I call.... 4 players in, flop comes 7 7 K, I fold to a 64c bet.

$3.24 now... Guessing that wasnt such a good call, guy ends up winning the pot with 44.

J2 offsuit - Folded

$3.24 - 12.08am


Still going now, just thought Id post this up....

Didn't go through all of them, but the reraise allin with JK is not going to be a winner for you in the long run. Your a coinflip to pairs and in bad shape against most possible hands. You got lucky with one of the few hands you had beat.

Also multiway pot or not K8o is not really playable, you also seem to favour Axo more than might be safe in the long run.

Nothing too nasty there though I think you are probably playing too many hands.

I know the JK was a risk, but against quite a loose player I needed to take some sort of risk... K8 and anything with Aces I do indeed need to sort out.... Folding to that large bet has annoyed me but I was so scared of the 6, what could I do....

... Yes I think I have been playing too many hands lately, main reason for my losses recently, I aim to tighten that up quite soon.

Your flop bet is way too weak. 8c into a pot of over 50c is keeping everyone in. A bigger bet relative to the pot would allow you to take the pot down earlier or cause the drawing hands to make a mistake by calling. Your weak bet allowed the others to scare you off later.

I guess I should be betting half of the pot in this case if not more this would scare people off....

-------------

Just up to $7.88 now... Had A7 from the BB, flop comes A75, someone bets 25c I raise them 50c and get 4 callers, that same guy bets 32c before I raise him to 1.34, everyone folds and he calls.

He shows Top pair with weak kicker, I show 2 pair.... I checked the river....

7 A 5 10 J - No really scary flush draws or anything present.

Should I have bet out or would he just have folded?

On the plus side though, if you're capable of laying down the odd winning hand it shows you've got the mentality to make a success of this most superb of games

You do NOT need to take risks like that in a cash game, it was a terrible play.

Also 42s and A5o belong in the muck.

Indeed it was - Now up to $9.24 I think my patience is finally paying off.

Tightening up much more now, trying not to force things since I do have at least another hour or so to play tonight. My table image has improved but I dont think that counts for much when playing a cash game, since people come and go all the time.

A5o is muckable immediately. 24s has some value in multiway pots.

very little. sucks for trips and two pair. very little for straight value. any flushes will be THE worst.

I don't think it is worth playing in a cash game, especially for a noob.
