10NL 6max, right line?

[philly and the phanatics]

i flat/3bet depending on the opponent but im never folding KT vs sb here unless hes an uber nit with like 10 or under steal percent.

some reads or stats on opponent would be nice

also cant believe nobody has said it yet, BUT BUY IN FULL why are you playing with 8.33 in your stack? wtf...

but readless you certainly do not want to raise KT here on the flop, by doing that you get him to fold everything you beat (7x, 88-QQ, any broadways hes going to barrell turn with) and theres like 0 K's that you beat other than maybe K9....against a wide range you are doing pretty well on this flop but against a K9+ 77 44 range you are obvioulsy doing shit. I guess you could probably throw in some random gutshots and lower pps and shit if this guy is a huge idiot, but you didnt post stats so we dont know


river is snap fold imo

pre is totally fine vs most poeple its BvB and we're IP. and yeah like everybody said without reads on opponent raising flop here there's basically no hands you beat that are calling a flop raise, so you're turning KT into a bluff here, and that's bad because it's a hand with significant showdown value. vs. a standard TAG here I would flat flop, probably check behind turn to keep pot small and call a river bet or bet if checked to looking for 2 streets of value from mid PP type hands as long as the board isn't super scary... you don't want to play this hand for stacks or get c/red, especially without reads. if you have reads that he's an idiot who's aggressive with anything then you could think about raising flop, in which case raise bigger more like 1.2 and then get it in on most turns and rivers.

Full buy in at the table is $10, which is what I started with. Only recently found out there's tables that let you buy in more than $5 at a time, ugh...

As far as stats go, I don't have any as I don't yet have any tracker program. Only real read is that he's stolen my blinds the last few orbits.

At showdown he had me beat with an 6-10 straight, he had an 8-10. Don't understand his play at all, but he got what he needed on the river. I guess I need to look more at my play and less at the results. Yet another thing to work on ;p Thanks again for the advice.

PokerTracker 3 has a 60 day free trial, and Holdem Manager has a 15 day free trial as well as promotional options you can do by signing up with specific sites poker that will allow you to get it free... having one of these programs and learning how to use it is the single most important thing you'll need to improve as a poker player.

Also when Philly says buy in full what he means is to keep your stack topped up at all times - most sites have an option you can set that will auto reload your stack if it falls below a certain amount. It's a good idea to never drop below 100 big blinds (or whatever amount you choose to initially buy in for, 100bb is standard) that way you can always get maximum value when you pick up a hand.
