Sanity check. Have to call river right?

Fold if you can put the guy on quad 4s 100% of the time I guess. Is this some sort of trick?

I should not have posted this, just felt tilted after villain flips over 87 for the better full house.


I'll post a better hand

guy had tried stealing a lot. Bet fold turn instead of my retardo line? How do you play it?

Any reads on UTG?

seriously though, in hand 1 are we ever calling to scoop the whole pot? I almost wanted to fold, I know that sounds criminal

I don't think you're pretty much ever scooping hand 1. Maybe I'd feel slightly better if 87 wasn't in is PF range.

hand 1 is fine.
in 2, 3 bet a little bigger since were oop, and yeah b/f seems good.

hand 1 is a spot where i sometimes make a nitty fold
in hand 2 i actually like ur line cause i think hes pretty much betting his whole range when you check there and i want to get the money in now before a 4th diamond hits and im oop with an awkward amount of money left. bet/fold is awfulllll, youre ahead almost every time

With AA, 3bet more out of position and I am bet/calling the turn.
