Dude in the top left corner looks ruggedly handsome..........

Looks like he could find his way around a webber or two.......or could he...????

Only if he stops cooking these

On a serious note I would like some feedback on this hand. My poker is all over the shop at the moment and I am really trying to get back on track.

Ok so here is the history on this hand. Blinds 150/300 and I wake up with pocket kings. I have about 16 bb and am on the button. I raise 4x the blind as we had 2 limpers. Hit my king on the flop and I continuation bet to which the guy folds. Continuation bet is about 2/3 pot which is my average. Now my reasoning is that I try and keep my continuation bets the same regardless of whether I have hit. Is this a warped way of thinking? Would like some honest feedback here.

**side note Pat had pocket aces here and did not get back to the computer in time to call which I suppose was my bad luck
***Further side note I won the tournament but more through good luck than good play.

If pat had of been paying attention, he would have got his aces smashed and hopefully eliminated, instead of him jamming my BB with K8 off, and me not taking the jams anymore and calling with my A5 off.

I probably would have made the money. Crazy Irishman!

Flopping a set is good play.

Yes but is betting a flopped set on a dry board good play? It is something that I do regularly for the reasons previously stated and think it may be a part of my game that I need to look at. I know it costs me money at times but at others I think that no one puts me on the set and I get called by people virtually drawing dead and manage to make money.

Mix it up. Bet, flat call any bet, reraise.

I am currently finding that the optimum line (in the general sense) for micro stakes is to bet flop, check or check/call turn and then fire out on river.

It seems to work about 60% of the time to get some passive nit, or loose agg to spew.

I would jam pre with 2 limpers and only 16bb.

It takes me a while to get it I am old It took me an hour to work out how to load the screen shot. Glad my kids could not read that post and my reply as I would never hear the end of it. Have a strange feeling my local TC will though and I may cop a little ribbing.
