PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 8 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $3.61 (181 bb)
UTG+1: $2.17 (109 bb)
MP: $1.54 (77 bb)
MP+1 (Hero): $2.54 (127 bb)
CO: $1.00 (50 bb)
BU: $2.31 (116 bb)
SB: $1.68 (84 bb)
BB: $1.98 (99 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.05) Hero is MP+1 with 9 A
3 players fold, Hero raises to $0.12, 1 fold, BTN calls $0.12, SB calls $0.11, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.40) A 9 6 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.25, 2 players fold

I always find it though to play monotone boards. Not that it would matter that much in this case because neither of them showed interest in the hand. However, I think my bet sizing was a bit large 25-35% would be better or X/C. On the other hand I don't want to let them see a free card in case someone has a spade in their hand.

Hello, why open for 6bb preflop?
Cbet on flop is ok, button can check too and see free turn card (for example fourth spade). With top two I bet here at least
half a pot.

Your bet size should be even bigger vs 2 opponents. No check/calls, no tricky play. Only fishes play that way. You are on a big hand and you want to build a pot till the river

Hello

I think the same, pf or a 3bb is fine.

Flop Cbet at 66% of the pot is ok, true that they can raise us from semibluff but we still have implicit to call in search of a full house, depending on the size of the raise.

Hmm apparently something went wrong exporting this hand. There was one limper that doesn't show and that's why I made that larger then standard bet size. With no limpers I usually go with a 3x bet open. My original TXT-file shows 2 big blinds posted instead of a big blind and a call I guess thats why it doesn't show. Don't know how that happened maybe some glitch I'm using HM2.

Could be. HM2 doesn't get updated anymore. With the limper in this hand 5x seems big enough and flop play seems standard.

Cheers,

Hello,

Now yes, the ROL is ok. I also had some problems with HM2 and that's why I'm trying HM3, when the free trial sells out I'll try PT4 and then decide which one to stay with, both are worth the same.
I do NOT want to distort the hand.

Yeah well I purchased a lifetime license for HM2 which just have to do for now. I can't afford the expense for the upgrade yet and I also really hate the fact that they come with a yearly subscription fee which makes it more exclusive.

That's indeed tricky that they have a yearly subscription. It's with other software the case as well. That makes it more expensive for everyone.

All good, maybe only lower preflop bet.
