alleythecat: poker is all luck
courtiebee: yes


Thanks to everyone who replied to my other thread, it was all very helpful. Here’s another batch of hands that I’m not particularly sure about. Again, please assume no reads unless stated otherwise; still trying to figure out how to get those (and what to look for).

3) Only thing that I can mention about the villain is that he was 48/20 over only 25 hands. What the heck do I do on the turn? I called because I had no idea what to do. After the flop, I was lost.

5) What is someone typically reraising with preflop? What am I playing to hit once I cold call? What does someone push with on this flop?
