No specific reads on my opponent other than that he was somewhat worse than the average player at the limit (i. e. pretty awful). When I was thinking the hand through right after it had happened, I thought I should've raised the river, but now I tend to think that raising on the flop would've even be better.

Yes. You have to be more agressive. This stuff was all pretty weak/tight. Look, your whole purpose in NL is to isolate the weak players and get their stack in the middle. This is a chance right here. I'm going to go ahead and guess that not many NL5'ers are strong, quality players. Isolate and make a plan to take the whole thing. Don't be weak/tight.


Thanks for the advice.

I was going to write that mono- or duosyllabic answers don't help me a whole lot when I saw the edit.

The reason that I'm very careful/timid or whatever you wanna call it with hands like overpairs and TPGK is probably that I lost quite a lot of money by overplaying those hands in the last number of days (losing mostly not by way of bad beats but because I ran into sets/trips or two pairs with TPTK or overpairs and couldn't get away). I'm probably hypercorrecting now and not pushing those hands as hard as I should. Even though I'm beating the limit comfortably, many big hands (AK-AJ, KK until tonight) still lose money. Sample size is only 2,1k hands however, so maybe I just haven't had my share of profitable situations with them yet.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that my preflop raises are too small. In the KK hand I got called by 98o, for example, which might not have happened with a bigger preflop raise.


3xBB + 1xbb per limper is way too small for these limits. 2100 is nothing, don't worry about it :)
