    Default NL2 TT in the SB facing UTG raise and MP call

    No definite reads, but it is typical NL2 6max. UTG is 50/18 over 30 hands. MP is 62/8 over 10 hands. Wasn't sure whether 3-bet or cold-call PF was appropriate, but a fold just doesn't seem right. The rest of the hand is fairly standard, though my flop bet was a little too small.

    Your flop bet looks good to me. The whole hand looks pretty well played, actually. Being in the SB, I probably would have just called UTG's 3bb raise to set mine, but the way you played it, you were able to get a lot more money on the flop. There are a lot of flops that can make your TT look like hell oop, though, so it's a risky play.

    Oh, and what's the max buy-in? $2?

    This is Stars so max buy-in is $5. I have a very small bankroll (~$25) that I built from nothing using the 70FPP sats, $1 STTs, and $0.25-45mans. Once my roll gets bigger, I'll start buying in bigger until I can move on up to NL5.

    As far as the hand, you're right. I 3-bet because I had an idea what I'd do on the flop. I'd play fast if the flop was all undercards, b/f 1 overcard, and c/f 2+ overs. Of course, when the 3rd T flopped, I played the texture of the board (knowing they probably had a GSD at a minimum).

    hand is played well, given mp called the flop he almost certainly wont fold to a jam so you might as well stick it in there.

    Did you mean UTG? I bet 0.54, but MP only had 0.56. Since his raise was only 2 cents, my only options were call and fold. Otherwise, I would have shipped it instead of waiting for the turn.

    fold to that 2c raise imo. It shows strength.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
