I suck at poker. I need to move down from 25/50 for a while, and focus on 10/20. Here are some hands I am not sure if they are good or bad but I know some of them are bad. I will just post them and my thoughts on them:

Villain here is pretty bad. He can have K6/K7/K5/K4 for 2 pr, or air/OESD. I figure on the river I don't beat anything but the turn is close.

Looking back on this hand I committed too much here with one pair on a drawy board. I need to see what he does on the turn and most likely fold to more aggression.

Trampo is a good player here so I actually need to bet/call this river IMO. He can turn his hand into a bluff here, and it's kind of obvious I'm going for thin value with an ace.

Standard vs this guy he's not good. I could bet the flop here but IMO that would make my hand look strong to him in this situation.

So, I'm done with NL5000 for a while. Back to the 2k grind, as I need to accumulate funds and I need to keep focusing on my game more.

I have been thinking about some stuff and I have come to some interesting conclusions, so I am going to be doing some new stuff. One of the concepts I think I am going to start introducing is overbets, so stay tuned for more fun stuff.

In this hand I set up this overbet by betting things like 160 into pots of 60 for probably a total of 3 hands. I also bet 350 into a 200 pot at some point.
