    CO (t1590)
    Button (t1490)
    SB (t1460)
    Hero (BB) (t1500)
    UTG (t1460)
    UTG+1 (t1500)
    MP1 (t1500)
    MP2 (t1500)
    MP3 (t1500)

    Hero's M: 50.00

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, J
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls t20, 3 folds, CO calls t20, Button calls t20, 1 fold, Hero bets t80, UTG+1 calls t60, CO calls t60, Button calls t60

    Flop: (t330) J, Q, 10 (4 players)
    Hero bets t180, UTG+1 raises to t1420 (All-In), 2 folds, Hero calls t1240 (All-In)

    Turn: (t3170) 3 (2 players, 2 all-in)

    River: (t3170) 7 (2 players, 2 all-in)

    Total pot: t3170

    Results:
    Hero had J, J (three of a kind, Jacks).
    UTG+1 had 9, K (straight, King high).
    Outcome: UTG+1 won t3170

    Can i ever fold?
    No.

    I would have probably made it 120-140 preflop because of the limpers but when villain shoved on that flop it's a snapcall.
    There are a lot of pair + straight draw, pair + flushdraw, 2 pair hands you could be ahead of, and even though you are behind you still have decent equity against his actual hand (35%) and that doesn't take into account the equity you have against his range.

    I don't use pokerstove so maybe somebody can work that out.

    Don't second guess yourself here, it's just a bad beat.

      You know more than me so fair enough.
      At a higher level I wouldnt do It but I think its +++ev to be doing this in a .50c sng. No one is going to adjust and your going to get called light alot.

          12 big blinds with Ax suited, is this within my shoving range for UTG or am I waiting for a better spot and position

          Also second question, in early levels level 1 and 2, when I pick up a premium hand QQ+ AQs+ what should I be raising, I feel standard 3x is too little as villains see 60 as a small number, should I be raising to more around the 5x or 100 chip mark?

              I would have called one all in here but I try not to get involved in a three way pot with AJ, normally should i call here or was I right in folding

                  Question 1 - its a fold for me. Id rather be shoving ATC in late position than shoving 12bb's UTG with AXs. 12bb with no antes is actually loads so dont panic just try and pick a good spot

                  Question 2 - with premium hands bet as much as you think they will call. If they are calling 15x opens then make it 15x etc

                      If you're gonna play KJ suited UTG, you should be raising, rather than limping. By limping, you really have no idea where you are in the hand and you kinda have to hit the flop. Also, if you raise you have a chance to take down the blinds uncontested. Generally open limping is pretty bad in any situation.

                        Ya in last couple of days I have found open shoving with QQ+ and AQs+ has been hugely profitable in early stages with calls coming from Axo any pair and any two broadway cards sometimes even as low as J9 K9 Q9

                          Open limping from anywhere is generally bad. Raise it or fold it.

                          I've been following your log and one of the main things I've noticed is your bet sizing.

                          Your bets on each street are generally very small which means your losing value with your good hands and allowing draws to get there for cheap as chips.

                          Don't be scared

                          "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you." - Yoda

                          There's a tonne of literature on the web regarding this topic so just get stuck in.

                          Good luck with it

                                            Journey into the $1.50 turbos led to a horrible downswing where i was about to drop back to the 50c, until a well needed amazing upswing

                                            I think the $1.50s definitely have a jump in standard, my guess is I might be missing out on fish who only have 50c left in their account which isnt enough to play cash and take a stab at them, the $1.50s may contain more regs, I'm thinkin maybe playing the $1 regular speed games I'll have a think about it. Not much volume planned over the weekend some of us unlucky folk have to work the weekend.

If you're gonna be raising hands like Q 10 regularly, you're gonna have to fold to 3 bets & shoves a lot so by making it less you save a bit more on the times you fold.

                                                                              Comment

Taking shots as a reward for successful hard work is one thing taking shots to try and claw back some losses is a different keetle of fish.

I'm entering the odd one after a win or two in the 45s. Definitely feel I'm somewhat beating these and posting in this thread definitely helps me stay on track.

                                                                                                              888 is very soft. I have profited well on it. I also find its great because I could start up a new a/c on a new site so noone would know who I am.

                                                                                                              I find it benefits especially when you post on here.

                                                                                                              Do you have skype? Would be cool to chat as you have about the same bankroll as me etc.
