7.

[donkbee]

7.

itching to look at a 7th hand? more hands in a thread is directly correlated to less replies, usually. 6 is def pushing it! thanks for taking the time.

Hand 2: How tempted were you to raise?

Is party 100NL really this good?!

Hand 2: How tempted were you to raise?

sooooooooo tempted (I actually did raise, lol)

Is party 100NL really this good?!

it's a lot better than PS ... although that's not saying THAT much.

[Genitruc]

Hand 1 : I like to flat call flop, turn and bet river when checked to, sometimes fold river when villain makes a big bet

Hand 2 : Raising big is fine, just don't expect it to work more than maybe 60-70% of the time ; you'll get called sometimes by random shit that might put you on tilt tough... In a bubble raising here is usually +ev imo.

Hand 3 : This is very close and depends a lot on the flow of the match. An aggro player will be bluffing here quite a bit.

Hand 4 : I usually call here "just to see it" but it doesn't really matter what you do. The range for this play is huge. Jx, A/K bare spade draws, fluses and sets. It actually might be slightly -ev to call but it's close. Having the Q of spades would make a significant difference here.

Hand 5 : Villain's like looks a lot like Q10. Thinking villains might fear J9 here from you if you've been raising limpers a lot.

I'm torn about value-betting the river when checked to ; I think I v bet a good % of the time.

Hand 6 : eww. I usually take this line with a Kx hand and get called down light...

[sauce123]

hand 1: raise more on the flop cause as played all you do is better define ur hand while giving villain odds to call with any 2 he (or she) bet with.

turn is a call, river is a call.

hand 2: betting or checking flop is equally fine imo. Turn is hard to raise as u dont rep anything and u probably get called by AK AQ. River is tough to raise kind of and as played i would call to see his cards.

Hand 3: turn is a check... as played muck em say unnhhh

Hand 4: Insta calls

Hand 5: seems fine... the problem is that fold/raise/call can all be correct depending on opponent.

Hand 6: seems bad to me. Preflop is bad without some reads of some kind... essentially if you arent tuned in to metagame/ ur image/ what everyone else is doing preflop is spew. As played, again, you turn ur hand into a bluff and it looks like a bluff so I think its bad usually as you get called by 88+ imo.

[donkbee]

thank you both

[meeloche]

1) probably call but its close
2) I'd either raise or fold
3) fold
4) Its really close your 50/50 against most of the hands in this spot spade draw or pair plus spade draw. But your crushed by any set or flush. If i had the queen of spades i'd insta call. In this spot i think i put him on a draw and call and flip a coin for his stack.
5) Fine as played
6) I don't mind the play preflop if you have a tightish read on the oponents but with no reads i need better than A5 for this play. As played the turn bet really looks like a bluff and your probably gonna get called down pretty light. If he calls your reraise preflop hes not folding to your turn overbet.

GO CANUCKS!!!!
