Right, i've been playing tourneys for a couple of years and i've realised that the cash game players seem to learn more quickly so i've been playing a little cash recently. Tbh, i've got 12 days to finish my thesis (for my phd) so i haven't really played that much poker but i would be interested in your thoughts on a couple of low stakes hands.

Mateyboy did think for ages but i didn't think he could call with only a pair there, personally i thought it was a good bluff. Am i being a donk and just trying outrageous bluffs where there is no place for them?? I was a little afraid of moving in, should i have just bottled it and gone for it or strictly stood to a no set no bet situation. Pre-flop i felt i was behind, on the flop i was looking for a set and from then on i was on a bluff.

Ok, so i have finally gotten fed up and i have decided to raise every hand to $1 preflop (i have never enjoyed poker so much) unless there is significant action before me. I kid you not, i have raised about 30-40 hands to $1 preflop in a row and my stack has grown due to people constantly folding preflop. This time i have only raised to 75c to assume the betting lead and to build the pot should i get a nice flop. Surely i should get more value here, pls tell me how??? Ps. Mr brick has been calling a lot of my preflop raises cos he has position. He seems to fold when he misses though.
