    Default Coolers or spew/bad play at 10nl?

    *** SUMMARY ***
    Board: [As] [6c] [3d] [2c] [7h]

    The main mistake here is probably not re-raising the flop. In hindsight this seems a bad play. Semi-blufing draws is quite common (though I had no reads that he did this) and 45 is the only draw on the board. The only other hand with which he would have raised is Ax but if he had that he probably would have raised this PF. He could have had 36 but that is unlikely.

    This guy's range is obviously very wide. Although the J was a scare card on the turn it could have easily improved his hand to a lesser 2-pair than mine given his range i.e J8, J9 or given him a multi-draw/draw-pair combination which he was happy to semi-bluff. As it turned he made his very large draw.

    This situation has cropped up quite a lot where there is a 3 of one type on the card on the board and I have an overpair. I am worried on the flop but the turn reassures me slightly because I know that is statistically less likely that he can have a 6. I have seen people with stats like elucio show down with lower PPs, a card to pair the board i.e a 2 or 4 here; or even just A high.


    Can I get away from any of these hands? Thanks

    hand 1 raise the flop, hand 2 fine, hand 3 id check behind turn for pot control as hes either way behind drawing to 2 outs or has u drawing dead, id then reeval on the river tho id never fold unless he like overbet shoved or sumthing.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    Hand one don't complete. either raise the buttons limp or fold. Calling the raise on the flop is fine, raising is fine. I probably call again on the turn but I'm not used to playing limped pots so I'm not sure.

    Hand two fold preflop. I know he is crazy loose but his raising range is actually tighter than averageand A 9 os has horrible reverse implied odds. On the river I would prefer giving missed draws a chance to bluff it off.

    Hand 3 is a cooler. He isn't folding any pocket pair there so definitely bet bet shove. I mean quads, wtf?

    1. Tough spot because when your reraised hard here, i find you got to have top 2p here minimum. I was expecting him to flip A6. He got lucky here but it's a possible fold here... Yesterday i had some donk shove in when i had a similar hand and i called and we ended up splitting but in hindsight i fold next time unless i'm up against a maniac.

    2. I have made this mistake as well. Hes not shoving here with just 2p... pot odds be damned on the river, he has it, got to fold. Lost to many pots here to the exact same situation.

    3. Another tough spot, it's 50/50 here.. Make cases for both calling and folding. A lot of people also just smooth call kings and aces at these levels to. I dunno if i could get away from this hand either. He did raise i guess which means now means your gambling on him having it or not...

    Why are we raising turn if we don't want to stack off? I think raising the turn is a mistake.

    The mistake here is preflop. I also don't like leading the river. Calling or folding the river is pretty trivial imo.

    There is no case to be made for folding.

    I think you're over-rating the value of your 2 pr hands on later streets. A wise man once told me that with 2 pr you've got to get your money in early and make them really pay to play, because by the turn or the river you're often beat, especially if any potential draws come in. I bet more on the flop in both, check the river in hand 2, and fold to both shoves (although I'm weak tight).

    The QQ hand is just a cooler. Unlucky there.
