Have huge problems with NL2
You should move up in stakes to where they respect your raises. Seriously, post some hands. Its hard to say why you suck without examples of you sucking.

little help with 1/2 live spot
Don't really mind playing SCs in this spot if u think u have a postflop edge, but i'd rather they were larger. I'd also prefer a larger bet on the flop, maybe 30. As played you have to call, and see his 66 or 75, both of which are consistent with the action and within the range of a "tight" player esp. At 1/2.

wtf Hellmuth hand @ WSOP $50K
Prob A. After the turn action Phil likely figures Seiver for a straight draw, flush draw, or underpair. The draws didn't get there, and Seiver would prob show down A or K high (FD) and bet counterfeited underpairs and busted straight draws or lower FDs (as well as an 8 or 9). Phil figures more busted draws/unders left than 8s or 9s....; )

wtf Hellmuth hand @ WSOP $50K
phil didn't float, he led both flop and turn then checked river. Seiver floated two streets and then bet when checked to. also IMO OOP we can infer phil was the preflop aggressor, or that the pot was limped(unlikely)

cash hand $0.10-$0.25
can't believe Graps took it so easy on you...; ) Here's my .02.. no you didn't.(play it right) no it isn't.(just ul) Even three handed the KTs is prob a fold once the BB min three bets you, unless(maybe) he's done it a whole lot. Even then, what are you trying to flop' Stack to pot ratio isn't good enough to get in with top pair, and he prob wont give you odds to draw to a flush if two diamonds come. When he checks the flop after three betting you pre, it screams here comes the check raise. Also, your "top pair" is only tens and on a suited board. This is not a hand you want to play a big ...

Micro cash, playing sets out of position deep
I like flatting and betting out. I think the flop hit enuff of his range( giving him a 3bet range of something like...A9s+, broadway, 22+. 56s+) that we bet for value and hope for the raise...which we got. Then gettin it in is fine, as the times he has a "big" hand (which mite be KJ to a tilter) he's going for it and will more than compensate for those raise/fold air hands. Besides, once the flush(and str8) hits the turn, you may lose action/balls. I think this is pretty standard, unless you've seen him habitually fire away with weak hands or get it in with air.

Re:$2/4 6 max--Good River Fold?
What are you afraid of on flop' AA KK QQ TT QT' On the flop Cheettt can have KK 6 ways,AA/TT/44 3 ways each, QQ 1 way, QT 12 ways.(28 combos) He can also have 66-99,JJ,KJ KQ AJ,AK, AT 9T J9 JT.....thats 139 combos, some I prob missed, some less or more likely than others. vtpp123 prob has the lower end of this or worse. I like bet out or c/r flop. Your hand rates to be the best vs. these 2, but together they have a lot of outs. Try and get rid of one/both of them early, or at least help to define their hands. I might also call and donkbet small on turn, but not routinely. Otherwise as played ...

He's gonna reraise a 2bet and 2 cold callers pretty much every time.(And when he doesn't it'll usually cost him). The second group kills you. Lotsa cards in that last group, and I'm sure I didn't get em all. You can try and eliminate a few with your 2.5 orbit read, if you like, but remember its 50nl. ...

Re:help me fix this leak plz
meh I don't necessarily care if you call the rr or not pre. On the flop his PSB lays you 2-1 (without the implied $3.54 left in his stack) and you're ~ a 3/2 (1.5/1) dog,so call. In a tourney, your shove might garner a fold from someone not ready to die, but in a (micro) cash game someone who rr pre and leads out w/ a PSB is not folding to your shove anyway. He's usually just telling you he likes his hand and will be happy to get it in. This probably means TP or better (but may mean TT or KTo or JT @ this level). He will be just as happy to get it in when your flush hits. Well ...

Re:Horrible spot, $20NL 6-max
I think he should have the case 7,99,A9, or a pocket pair. Has he limped with strong hands' If not, discount AA,KK,QQ,JJ. vs. A7,67,78,57,79,99,A9,TT,88,66-22 we are ~57-42 dog, just under a "coin flip". Take out 66-22 and its 80-20.(4-1) The pot is laying us nearly 4 (3.9) to 1. If I can feel good about this range, I call.Since he has "limped every pot for god knows how long" I probably can add in the lower pocket pairs and find a call.

Re:10 NL MIcro stakes what to do with AK
hmm... I also want a bigger raise preflop, especially with 100bb stacks. I like .45-.55. It discourages (sometimes, @ this level) multiway action, and if you do get action it helps create a favorable stack-to-pot ratio, which makes for easier postflop commitment decisions. As played, if you aren't committed against this opponent w/ TPTK, why are you calling his flop raise' And if you are committed (and IMO you should be with these stacks vs his range) then you played it perfectly, now call his all in. I don't necessarily mind shipping it over the top on the flop, but you may fold ...

Re:check or bet top set in this spot (6-max 25nl)
" But I like to bet out 1/2 the pot or maybe just under here(considering his small stack)." Just seems too small to me. My normal bet is def. 2/3 to full pot sized. I think vs his range you get more equity putting more in on the flop. I think the same hands call/raise both bets, so bet more while you've got the nuts. Even w/AK(for example) my cbets are usually around this size. I also think an overbet looks weaker than 1/2 pot or smaller..more hands may call and fold the turn w/ smaller bet, but the times AK/AQ/TT (or worse) and bluffs push over the top on flop leads to more ...

Re:check or bet top set in this spot (6-max 25nl)
How aggressive is he postflop' If you think he'll see a check as weakness and will put his stack in on the next 2 streets to "push you off" then maybe try a check. Usually I bet here, close to a PSB, which will mean the rest of his stack goes in on the turn. The $1 on the flop may seem a little trappy to the villain, only 1/2 pot, = to preflop raise. To incite a reraise if I think opponent is capable of a reraise bluff, I probably slightly overbet the pot to seem I'm trying to buy it and try to get him to push right here. There aren't many hands I can see that will call ...

Re:$20NL 6-max hand - w/results
just my opinions.... A case can be made for flatting or repopping pre. Before you reraise to 7.20 pre, I think you need a more complete plan other than "If he reships on me, I'm going to fold."(though I agree with this line) If I were to reraise pre (and get flatted), it would be with the intent to get it in as fast as possible on a favorable flop (which this is). With only $16 and change into a 14.50 pot allin on flop is ok, so is $8-$9 on flop and the rest on turn.If I flatted pre, I would prob still be trying to get it in on this flop/turn. (hee haw). The exception would be ...
