2 Questions I need help with

[ConvictKeeper]

I need some help with 2 questions I am struggling with. I would appreciate any feedback that can provide some guidance. I play micro and low stakes No-Limit Hold’em cash games.

#1. Quitting
I don’t know how to phrase this so I will just put it out there. When is a good time to quit a session? I tend to get up a ½ to full buy-in just to hand some back. If I lose a big hand, I can get it to even or show a small profit after a little while, but it seems like I will lose a hand that strips some profit away. I tend to play short sessions, (45 minutes to 1 hour) and wonder if I should set a target amount. It seems over the course of a longer session I get myself into a tight spot and seem to lose some profit. Is my thinking flawed regarding a target or could there be some validity to it.

#2 Reads
I have seen some trouble with reading my looser opponents. It seems I have a hard time with the player who plays either 60/13/1 to 34/28/7. I have a hard time putting them on hands. The loose/passive plays anything and to the river and the super LAG raises anything to the river. I tend to get stuck when I raise 99 from the button and get called or re-raised by the super LAG and the flop is 372. I tend to C-bet for value, and POW re-raise or the calling station is stuck to me. I guess the premium pairs are good against them both, but those damn middle pairs and draws. I tend to play the smaller pocket pairs (22-88) for sets, but the 99-JJ hands? How good are those hands against those types of player ranges?

#2 -

The hand you describe doesn't happens very often but I think thats why one should 4-bet a guy who is playing 34/28.

As Zmej already posted, position is what matters when playing against these guys. I was losing a lot of money to these kind of players. After some inputs from my coach, I realized that I was sitting at their right too often. If you join the waitlist on a table with high average pot and/or high players per flop % you will seat at these guys right's much more often than it should be expected.

If you are playing FR it is not that bad at all because there is a field to act but at 6-max you are under the gun on every hand and your bankroll is at risk.

I would say that you have a table selection problem. Why play OOP against these guys ? There are so many of them. Just find a seat with good relative position.

Leave the table when :

1 - You don't like your position.
2- You are tired, hungry or someone is demanding your attention and you can't get rid off easily.

Sit out for a break after 55 minutes or after being hit by a bad beat.
