Hello again,

I'm wondering if there is a better course of action here?

Push on the river everytime?

Thanks

Hello,

Preflop is fine.
Is minraising standard for you from BU? Would you minraise with AA here?

Betting the flop is fine.
When he raises calling is good. I think our hand is too strong to fold against one raise.

We make the boat on the turn so calling is fine too.

I think it's better to just call the river.
I don't actually see any worse hands calling here, and we might value bet ourselves against QJ/77 here.

Best,
Plamen

Thanks, next time i'll call.

Yeah minraise is standard for me here, i would also minraise AA
since i don't change betsizes preflop based on my hand strength

Preflop betsizes for me are:
SB: 2,5 BB
BTN: 2 BB
CO: 2,5 BB
MP: 3 BB
UTG: 3 BB

If there are limper(s) i raise 3 BB + 1 BB per limper.

I used to always raise 3 BB (Even though pokerstrategy recommends 4
the standard on pokerstars seem to be 3)
But i've been told varying betsizes based on position is profitable because
you lose less when steals don't work, and 3 bets against BTN become less
effective.

If there is something off about this (mathwize) i would very much
like to know, as i one day want to be a mathbased player.

I like to hear your feedback on this anyway so let me have it :)

Yeah, this is perfectly fine.

I think betting smaller is good and I bet smaller myself as well.

I think that if we open 50%+ on the button minraising is fine, and I usually make it 3bb on the CO but if you open like 30% there then 2.5bb is good.

Of course, when we have some information about the players we can start adjusting our sizings according to this information but against unknowns I think this is fine.
