Why do you only have $11? You're not going to win much when you get a big hand (and that's the whole point of playing) when you're underfunded.

Looks pretty standard to me. No conceivable draws on the flop unless you're against maniacs who call a raise with 45. I'd probably bet nearly the pot on the flop but since you only have $10 and the pot is $6 a push might be better since you're going to get your stack in anyway. If you take down a $6 pot, fine. If they call and chase, fine.

When i play 10.25 nl i usually just buy in for the 10 buy in i know i should buy in for the 25$ but i have been working on changing my game lately since i went on a losing streak and i have been trying to fix some leaks. So the lower buy in kinda stops me from losing as much against those crazy fish that play there.

There's nothing wrong with playing 40x the bb, it just plays faster and you don't really have to think about the river much.

I agree with Bradley on this one. You might as well push on the flop. With a pot size bet your all in on the turn anyway.... might as well get it all in the middle early. You got a good flop for your hand and your not going to fold so put the test on the others.
