Fish, it seems like from your posts that you're struggling with cash games. Have you considered moving to SNG's? Some people (myself included) can be pretty successful in SNG format but can't etch out a profit in cash games. I think you should at least give it a try. Maybe the next time you deposit you could devote it to SNG play instead of cash.

And yeah, I'd be folding too.

A little bit. I want to play NL cash games. I've played in the past where I did SNGs solely. Thing is I am low in the bankroll, not because of bad happenings when I played but I withdrew the majority of my bankroll when it became illegal to fund poker accounts. Left me with $50 on two sites, more like $40 and $20 now though.

It just hasn't clicked yet I guess, but I'd like to be able to play $1/$2 NL live one day.

I still playing 1 or 2 SNG 18 or 45 man tournaments a weekend. The $1.20 kind.

That's a good fold unless villains are all a bunch of maniacs at these limits. Even if they are you are still likely beaten.

He reraised preflop. He bet the flop with one over. Now there are two overs and he makes a large bet, close to pot size. Looks like he is trying to price out the club draws. Very unlikely he has a flush with the Ace and King on the Board, but it doesn't matter. You don't have a club and he at least has a higher pair than you. Looks like he had AK. Even if you had the Qc this is still a fold.

I think the hand is good enough for a 4 bet pre-flop. It depends on how the blinds are playing though. The min-raise from the SB may mean a big hand and it might be best to call.

Well we have position on the flop and we might be up against JJ or less here, maybe even AQ or an eaven weaker hand. I think the call is what I might do too.

Easy fold for me on the turn. AQ is now ahead and the bet suggests better than JJ here. JJ with a flush draw maybe but that is not much for any more investment to be good.
