blonde poker forum

I have been recently venturing into the world of cash. previously I played cash and saw it as a good chance to have a gamble. I have tried to change that attitude, and so far  it seems to be paying off. (playing on blonde and another site, small stakes - .25/.50, I have played for a total of about 20 hours and from an initial investment of $50, now have around $300).

anyway, I would be interested to hear opinions on these, im my opinion, very different hands. The first one I dont like the way I played it, although I did win the pot - basically played it like a tournament hand. is this a bad thing ?

Erm that is only one hand laz!

That is fine against a shortstack with 20bbs you should be way ahead of their range, nh.

Can I ask why you are only sitting with approx 35 bb's? To learn cash properly we should sit with the full buyin as it maximises our profits, if you are going to learn cash properly start sitting with the full buyin and topping up as necessary, unless you are learning a push/fold shortstack strategy then buyin for the minimum do some heavy maths work and piss everyone off.
