Type of Game a) Online
                    b) Cash


The Buy in $0.05 / $0.10


Number of Runners - 8 players

Your stack size - $15.34

Stack Sizes of relevant opposition - Elis $10.51 ; Cruuzer $9.75


In the hand concerned your position at the table and that of relevant opposition - I'm in BB, Elis is in seat 6, Cruuzer is on the button.

What is your image? I'm seeing 18% of flops. I've been reraised off a couple of hands preflop when I've made small raises in late position, but early position raises have been respected. My profit is coming from one nice hand where I made up the BB into a multiway pot from SB, flopped 2 pair, and bet every street, but villain folded on the river, so I didn't show.

What is the image of the opponents concerned? Is there any history? Any reads? Elis has reraised me once or twice, Cruuzer has been quiet and solid.

For online hands are there any tracking software stats available for your opponent(s)? Nope.

What is the situation? Describe as fully as you can? I've been trying to grind at micro stakes to free up my balance, but it's not working so I'm trying slightly higher stakes (in my world 5cents/10cents is HUGE compared with 2cents/4cents) with mixed results to date. Because I'm grinding I'm playing limited hands, and positionally. Tonight I've played very TAG, c-betting virtually every time I've led the betting preflop.

What questions do you want answered? -
I wasn't surprised to see Elis' raise, but Cruuzer has been quiet, so I'm pretty sure I know he has got something reasonable/normal, but he's on the button, so I'm not totally convinced.
Hence the raise. I'm expecting Elis to drop out, and leave me HU with Cruuzer.
But after a 5-bet and a 6-bet, I assumed at least one of them had AA, and we're probably talking about AA vs KK.
So I reluctantly folded.

My question/s.

At these stakes am I overthinking the hand? Is my re-re-raise even a good idea? Is the fold reasonable? What should my line of thought been? How would a half decent player play it?

Hi,

I'm currently a 10nl reg with over 200k hands at this stake. (I am now a decent winning reg at these stakes)



I think the 4bt size is fine, possibly a little small (i probably make it 2.80) but in my experience 6/6 times people have small 5bt pre have ALL been AA.

This is an easy fold to the original raise/5bt, but now we have a small 6bt behind its an absolute no brainer.



Nice hand, wp.  Tongue

Cheers

I find it tough playing a few hundred hands with 3 tables open, to get to 200k hands would take me forever and then some.... 

I thought about the fold for a while, so it wasn't an impulse fold, but my logic was exactly the same as yours.

I just started doubting myself when BOTH players turned over AK.

Just needed to check that this was just a one off - sanity is the same, even at micro stakes.

Thanks for your input.
