4) Villain's stats are 43/22. I called in the SB because the table had been loose with calls and I thought more people might come along ... dunno if that makes the call any good though, haha. Anyway, line check?

5) So what's standard preflop? Whatever you do PF obviously dictates what you do post flop. And I'm assuming that if you just call PF, you gotta just fold to the c bet on the flop. Other lines?

Now if I say that the villain is 26/3/2 over 200 hands, that must change things. He rarely raises, so he must have some monster pair to reraise me the way he did. Should I have just folded this PF?

Hero ...


7) He’s 48/16/2 over 80 hands. He min raises stuff like suited aces PF and will bet missed flops. I didn't bet the river because I didn't know how I would feel about a raise. Is that okay?

good
i call, he bet small and board is kinda harmless
push
awesome
fine
check and see what happens
id probably raise river after seeing him make that retarded bet

:heart:

1) can't really imagine playing it any other way, maybe calling turn to trap but that's FPS on that board, shoving is probably best.

2) I probably call this turn but i make a lot of loose calls like that. depends a lot on the opponent in question but fwiw, villain's line seems innocent enough if he's a typical player that you shouldn't just assume you're beat.

3) meh, I like shoving pre or 4-betting and calling a shove. gotta call sometimes too though for balance. as played can't really go wrong here, i'd probably shove b/c I put my stack in more than most, but there's nothing wrong with calling. again, balance, figure out a way to work it into YOUR game taking into account how this guy is playing. Doing something gay like min-raising is another option.

cliff notes: you can't mess this up; don't do the same thing every time

4) hard to analyze this one, depends a lot on what kind of range you put him on and what kind of range you think he'll call a shove with. ie. if the 2 barrel means that he has a king or better nearly every time and you don't think this 43vpip idiot will ever fold a king, this is bad. if he's very aggressive but wont put his stack in without the nuts, it is splendid.

cliff notes: putting your stack in as a semi-bluff on the turn is balla, keep it up

5) first impression was GROSS, and how do you NOT 4-bet this pre? after learning of said player's nittiness, i think this is fine.

6) i don't mind a raise pre sometimes but completing is probably the more generally accepted play. easy shove on the turn, he's got like 20 back in a pot of 50+.

7) your line seems oh-so-weak but given stacks I don't hate it. This seems like a v. good spot to lead the flop, puts the button in a very tough spot and you in a very good spot, also great for metagame and getting action on your sets/combo draws.

cliff notes: i mention combo draws because it's fun to go all-in with a draw and suckout

Nice hands...

Hand 2: After reading it for the 2nd time, I think it's a good fold. What would you ever beat that bets that turn?

Hand 3: Gabe, will AA, KK really call a push?

Hand 4: sweeeet

Hand 7: I like calling the river 7 too. I want a showdown and I don't see any worse hands calling a raise on that board.

yea people call with AA KK there almost always and stuff like JcJ

There's another guy in the pot though? Instashove for sure if it were only the shorty.

Thanks again for all your comments, guys.
