I'm finding it hard to believe I can keep going on this run. My last 7 sng's I've bubbled 6 times and I can't remember the last time I won a proper pot in a cash game. I can't win a coinflip and in the latest one I was huge chipleader before my A10 was beaten by A3 then next hand my AJ ran into the monster that is A10. Cue a few rounds of 94o, 72o etc before the inevitable loss on a coinflip.

So I go into a 50NL game and first hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($24.05)
SB ($42.10)
Hero ($50)
UTG ($11.30)
UTG+1 ($49.25)
MP1 ($47.50)
MP2 ($15)
MP3 ($28.75)
CO ($49.25)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A.
4 folds, MP3 calls $0.50, 3 folds, Hero raises to $1.5, MP3 calls $1.

Flop: ($3.25) 2, 5, 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $2, MP3 calls $2.

Turn: ($7.25) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $4, MP3 calls $4.

River: ($15.25) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 checks.

Final Pot: $15.25

Results in white below:
Hero has Kh Ad (high card, ace).
MP3 has Kc 5c (one pair, fives).
Outcome: MP3 wins $15.25.

I know i should raise more pf but still, wtf is he doing?
Fuck this, i'm taking a break...

As you've already said, raise more PF. But you still could have won this hand with some aggression. Bet $2.5 to $3 on the flop, bet $6-$7 on the turn and then push the river.

Doberman: "but Sarge, isn't poker gambling and just luck?"
Sgt. Bilko:" not the way I play it"

From what I saw afterwards, he wouldn't have folded the river, he called everything and was getting quite a bit of abuse from the table, wish i knew that before.

I know i didn't play it great, just tilting from my sng fun recently!

I realise that we're obviously not dealing with a professional here but you can even get the donks to lay these hands down with a significant amount of aggression. You tried to push the idiot off of his marginal holding but you didnt commit to it. You made a fairly weak bet on the flop and turn and then just gave up on the river.

I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure he would lay it down or anything but it doesn't look like he's going to lay it down without a significant amount of pressure. Either go big or go home. Bet the pot (or close to it) on the flop turn and river or don't bet at all.

Yeah the turn bet was way too weak.

I'm not sure there's any and which call the flop bet then fold for 1/2 pot on that turn card.

I wouldn't limp with K5 but if I did I am not sure I play any differently to villain, except mayb bluff the spade on the river.

why the hell do you want him to fold?
