This guy is a huge douchebag... he keeps LRRing with garbage, bets out at random times, check raises a lot. 70/10/1

PS I am now offically at the 300BB downswing mark after playing 250 hands today.

I'd raise the flop. I used to call a lot here inteding to raise the turn and just had too many times when the flop bettor would check the turn anyway.

A few points:

Your play is OK, but the standard line is to raise the flop for good reason. You don't want to give BB correct odds to draw to a gutshot or middle pair. I'd call the river raise in disgust too.

300BB. Yeuck. I'd be 3/6ing it to get back in the winning frame of mind. That game is gold. Where else can a good player make $50/hr on a $2000 bankroll?

"douchebag"? Is this a joke, or do you hate someone for playing poker differently than you expect?

Just raise the flop and force the BB to pay 2 for the turn. Given your read I'd be forced to call the river too.

I'm raising the flop here.

Flop raise, turn raise. Meh. Either is OK. I wouldn't beat yourself up about this hand. You're just running bad.

I raise the flop too. Let people know its gonna cost them to play versus you and the rest fo the postflop gets simpler. It also takes away their odds to the strange draws they like to make.

When I am multitabling I at a level like 3/6 or 5/10 I liek to keep my decisions simple. I use to play a line more like the one you played but I feel like keeping it simpler doesn't give up much and does a lot more for keeping me in a positive frame of mind/not tilting etc. FWIW I call the river too.

i agree with raising the flop to knock out the bb. it also disguises your hand a little better and now you can raise the turn if the co 3bets.

OK, I'm sold. Flop raise is better.
