Hero should autorebuy to 100BB ? Check if that option is available in the Lobby somewhere . Find a study group, study a lot ... get your ranges sorted, play in position a lot more.
If its allowed to use , buy Poker Tracking Software and save and analyze your play after ....
Play regular tables when you learning , 2 should be fine you can add 2 more when you get a grip of the game , dont play more than that.

great suggestions. but no resources listed. no study groups found yet. I doubt anyone wants to help someone like me who ends up punting in spots I should just be folding. (i have NO decent clue how to range my opponent) so how am i supposed to be winning ever....

help me...


also, nobody cares to help me with post flop play. idk what to do. i want to be at leasr a break-even or slight winning rec player but no one is able to help me understand post flop (just get general ideas but nothing concrete to help me understnad something like villian;s range)

C bet flop for 1/3 pot. As played with his sizing I fold on the flop and am definitely folding on the turn.

I dont play online anymore the games are too tough and nitty you will probably have to get a coach to win substantially or do significant studying on your own.

What are you thinking about on the turn? What hands are you beating?
