    Default a spew and a question

    Hand #1 is me hoping to shame myself into stopping spewing so goddamned much again. Id been really laggy on this table and so I got into the "omg hez makinz a movz" bullshit and spewed. Such a dumb call.

    Hand #2 is a line check. Turn push ok? Just a wee bit over PSB. But I could obv take the check and just wait to hit. But I have chronic spewism and I dunno.

    hand 1: welcome to the club. when is the overbet all in on the river actually a bluff?

    hand 2: i'm torn between pushing and checking.

    hand 3: i like how you played this.

    a little town called none of your goddamn business
    hand one would be fine if there weren't 3 to a flush out
    hand two is standard
    hand three is fine too imo, you could also checkraise the flop.

    hey euph, is hand 2 themadrusian also? Betting the turn and taking the free card are so player dependent. I'll sometimes make a smaller value looking bet when I'm semi-bluffing the draw to like 42 here. Probably meh, but the value looking bet sells my story and he knows we're not folding so he's less inclined to look you up with a pair.

    Hand #1 I fold turn. If you give this guy no credit a turn call is fine, but you definately have to fold that river shove. Every card in the world that should scare a hand you beat showed up and he's still playing hard.

    Hand #2 is totally fine. I check if I know the villain will pay me off anyway if my draw completes, but against most I play it the way you did.

    Hand #3 is fine against this guy.

    1) probably spewy

    2) fine/optimal pick bet size which prices u in and looks scariest but u get looked up a lot here

    3) seems fine but against most players this is so rarely a bluff
    I got more flava than fruitstripe gum
