$100NL - 2nd pair party

Full ring donk goes 6max.

#1
Unkown villian, he seems not very good tho. I think his range is polarized to QT or missed diamonds, less likely are 77/KJ. How does your decision change, when you we saw him limp calling QQ before?

I agree.
The trouble with hand 2 is that with a set you would have 3bet flop most often so your basically saying: I have a good hand (e.g. AA) and I can fold to a push on turn.

Is hand 1 standard, or just best against this particular villain?
I usually check behind turn and call most rivers / bet myself when checked to.

Are we c/cing up to a PSB on the turn in hand 2?

I think checking back in hand 1 loses too much value vs JT/QJ/QT/J9/diamonds.


And in hand 2 u guys suggest b/3b flop?

No, in hand 2 they are saying, from villain's POV, your range includes a bunch of good hands but not GREAT hands due to flop line because if you had a monster you'd 3bet that board. As played on flop you should just check turn because your range now consists of good hands that cannot call a push. If you think you are good on flop then just 3bet, if not, call and check turn. That's just how I interpret it at least.
