I'd like comments on both preflop and postflop plays. Im sure this is standard, but i dont really have a standard way of dealing w/ these situations.

BODE-ist ???

I raise OTB w/ a standard raising hand, and get repopped by the BB who is fairly solid (if there are solid players at $10nl). Villain runs about 25/15/1.5 and is a winner over 150 hands. whats my play preflop. Do i call this or is it an easy fold even in position. There arent alot of villains at this level that will repop you just because you are raising from LP, although i have noticed it more recently.


BODE-ist calls $0.65 standard w/ position?

this hand is obv. good enough to continue w/, but is it better to flat call, reraise to $3-3.50, or push? I have 12 clean outs, and i have to believe villain either hit the A or K, so my J and T outs are def. no good. Since i have about 50% equity it seems like a push would be best w/ the money already in the pot.

Preflop your getting 2-1 not bad but not great in a cash game with deep stakes i'll call here cause my implied odds. His reraise preflop out of position could be a good ace, thats a pretty aggresive move with a decent king, he could also have a med pair which is a spot that i like to reraise oop preflop. His flop bet could be a continuation bet or hes got something but he doesn't have a monster like KK or AA because at those stakes you'd have to think he would check that flop. I dont like a smooth call here cause what do you do if you miss the turn and he bets strong into you again? A big raise or a push would be my play in this spot, Theres a good chance you dont need to make your hand and you take the pot down right here.

I fold this preflop. Almost all of them 3bet a very tight range, so no point in calling unless u have a pp and odds for a set. As played, interesting is that he cbet 1/2 pot.. this is usually what people cbet in 3bet pots when they miss right? I'd call and try to take the pot away from him if he gives up on the turn. If not, just call again.. I truly think playing draws passively with position at 10NL is best. Just see if you hit.

i really dont like this. w/ a hand like SC's where you have a combo draw you kill your implied odds for a flush because even at the $10nl villains are scared of 3 to a flush on the board.

I fold pre-flop, you're way behind even a light 3-bet range. As played I'm flat-calling the flop b/c you're always behind here and don't have fold equity unless he has JJ/QQ. If he has AA/KK/AK you might still get his stack if a diamond hits.

It depends on the amount of people in the pot. If it's 1-2 others, I'll play a combo draw more aggressively. But what is so typical about 10NL is that most of the pots are big multiways. And bare flushdraws, what's the problem.. if you call with pot odds, you don't have to get their stack to make the play +EV. In this case it's HU, but a 3bet pot, meaning it's very realistic he has a big hand he's not parting with easily.

for the results oriented (myself included).
