Comments please.... this is way to hard to lay down.

fold preflop

[lorinda]

Preflop:

Raise or fold. There is no need to give the blinds a free flop here on the occasions you are ahead. Folding might be better, but I won't put off a $5 player from getting a bit aggro.

Flop:

Seems fine. There is no indication you are in trouble.

Turn/River:

Only you will know the true answer to this, and I don't care what you actually post the answer is, just be honest with yourself.

If you are making those silly bets to try to keep it cheap to get to showdown and see how you've done, then it's not too bad (although the 350 maybe should be even less) However if you're making them because you don't really know what to do, or because you think you are in front, then it's terrible.

I'd raise preflop. I think you made this hand much more expensive than it had to be. I'd raise to 600 preflop. I think it'd give me a better idea of how to play that flop.

I don't like the flop bet, it's nearly half your stack. I'd bet less or push. I'd think AA & AK/Q are more likely to be limped than kings and queens, so that's what I'd expect to be up against if he has a better hand. I'd probally bet around 600 on that flop. If only randy calls again, I'd probally check the turn (probally horrible) to see how much he bets or checks and take it from there.

This is a $5 though so I'd probally just push the flop and watched that AJ outdraw me.

I really do not like a raise preflop here for 1/4 your stack when you have no intention of calling a re-raise. I fold preflop, and I don't think it's close.

Well the first place you messed up was in your subject, as you apparently can't spell "steaming".

PS Fold pre flop

[11t]

Firstly, I dislike limping utg+1 generally speaking with KQos and I hate doing it in this position. You are at 12xbb and KQ is one of those hands that looks good and you want to see a flop but you don't feel comfortable raising because there are so many left to act behind you and you really cannot call a raise.

Preflop is a fold/raise situation since entering any pot at this point is going to probably cost you your stack to play. I think with KQ here folding is probably much more +EV than playing it.

Secondly, you saw a decent, but draw heavy flop, and proceeded to bet the pot. This was half of your remaining stack. Since you are only at 11xbb you in an awkward position where you want to protect your hand but you are basically committed to the pot if you bet. I would just open push the flop.

Thirdly, when the worse card in the deck hit putting both a flush and 1-card straight on the board you proceeded to bet LESS than you did on the flop. You have the king of hearts and a boat draw for re-draws. PUSH.

Lastly, min-betting the river is ridiculous.
