  2. #2
    hand 1: because of stack to pot ratio, calling this turn was pretty bad. just push it if you're going to call.

    hand 2: i'd just check/call the river.

    hand 3: raise the flop.
  3. #3
    Hand 1:
    Preflop: Standard.
    Flop: Bet a little more on the flop, like $1.00.
    Turn: I shove all in over his raise here.
    River: You probably just got sucked out on, i get my money in here on the turn. If he actually has a straight or something, meh and reload.

    Hand 2:
    Preflop: If your going to raise this out of the sb with all these limpers, you should at least follow the standard rule of 4bb + 1bb per limper. That would make your raise .7 at the least. These stakes everyone likes to call, plus your position Sucks. So i probably raise it to .8, maybe higher if im raising here.
    Flop: Standard bet, you can see how being OOP sucks. Even though he min raises you here, what is your plan for the turn if he bets again? You only have top pair with a decent kicker, i probably give this up here to the min raise as played.
    Turn: Standard as played.
    River: You definitely should Not go all in here. If you don't think he has the flush check/call. Otherwise a conservative check/fold to a big amount is fine.

    Hand 3:
    Preflop: Standard
    Flop: Standard at this level imo, you could raise here, but you could easily be behind and be raising into some calling stations.
    Turn: No need to bet here, your still on a drawing hand and likely behind, plus if anyone hit that king, your not getting them out of the pot. Take the free card and check behind and hope for a club/9/10.
    River: As played, it looks fine.

    Any other Questions lemme know, ill be glad to help.

    I don't really understand what you're saying- I should have open pushed the turn or just pushed over his raise instead of calling? I figured there was a good chance I was behind on the turn after his raise (KJ, KQ, set) but perhaps I had an ounce of FE if a flush completed on the river, so I called. Bad logic I guess.

    I agree his raise puts me in a very awkward situation, it's either all or nothing, but are you advocating just open pushing the turn given my hand and the pot:stack.

    i meant push over his raise.
  7. #7
    hand 4: i put it another big 3bet on the flop for reasons like the card that fell on the turn. with a certain read, this turn is a fold....you do have the ass end of the straight.

    hand 5: do it on the flop.

    hand 6: need reads. these are pretty tough spots, and usually folding here isn't bad. i really don't get your open push on the turn.

    I don't really get this. Villain isn't raising here with such small stacks with a draw - he'd just push and rely on his outs + fold equity. He's got a decent made hand, one which we may be behind but with such small stacks we're pot committed whatever happens. So I'm fine with calling here - as OP says there is a chance he could hit his "flush" on the river, and if not, then it's all going in regardless.
