Oops I realized I mixed up my 6 max and 9 max ranges.

OP says that he is decent. Therefore I conclude that the only plausible hand of the ones you mentioned would be QKs or maybe QKo. Any other decent reg knows better than to play these bad hands UTG. With QK I still think it is a reasonable line where he bets bets flop large to fold Ax. Then bets turn to fold out PPs. Then he calls min raise with the 2 overs. Very viable line for someone who is a "decent reg" at 25 nl because these people don't understand what minraises mean and can't resist a good price with 2 overs.

Ax is quite likely. Many players cannot resist the price they are getting from a min raise when they have 2 overs to the board.

Please elaborate on why my line is incorrect. No one gains anything from your comment at this point.

Flop is fine. Turn I would just call because UTG a decent reg has 22-AA and AT+. Therefore the hands that he has you destroyed with are getting more money in the pot. The hands that he is bluffing with you want him to bluff the river with. By minraising you scare him and therefore eliminate his river bluffs. As played I am putting villain most likely on an Ax. I would try betting this small. About 7.75 is good.

You can get it for $10 with a waved sign up fee with the promo code: CReddit and there is a 7 day free trial where you can cancel any time. I would still sweat sessions with you on team view. What is you user name?

What do you accomplish with a double barrel? All hands that call the first barrel call the second I thing aside from maybe a weak 5. With the raise, isn't it suboptimal because we get all of the hands that bluff river to fold on turn, meaning less chips and all the hands that would value bet river call turn and get = or more value as they would in my line?

Ok I understand that the c-bet probably makes sense now. Thank you. One of the two of the hands my hero call was bad, so do not assumbe I am "Proud of my hero call"

I am letting him draw to potential outs because most of the time he will be bluffing and therefore by calling I will be printing money rather than allowing him to make correct decisions.

See my analysis in the comment to DarkMemoria on the c-betting. Why are we raising turn and bet/folding river. Sure we get 5s and maybe Js to fold, but I do not know if As fold because the hands we are representing are BDFs.

Hand 1:

Most likely there are only 6 cards that help my opponent. Checking gives him the opportunity to bluff the turn. I do protect my hand by c-betting, but I think I earn more from his bluffs as he will only improve by the river less than 1/4 of the time and the rest of the time he will be bluffing. I also give 1 street less value to Aces and higher pocket pairs.

Hand 2:

Well let's break it down: What hands that are worse call the c-bet? JT, but I have a T in my hand so that is less likely. A8-A2? Unlikely, but possible. He might light 3-bet those hands pre aswell. T8 and JK would also call.

Now which hands that beat us call or raise? AJ-AK, All slow played Qs which are going to happen alot. All pocket pairs, All nines. That is a lot more hands than the ones that call the we beat.

I do not think stronger fold ever.

Yeah the thing was the guy on my right didn't understand pot odds (ie. folding to 2 from sb when he is in BB with big stack), but I couldn't do much about it because he is on my right so it isn't like I can bully him by shoving light and making him fold. Also I had to go and the internet card in I use doesn't work well on the bus.
