AI decisions: Cowboys and Ladies 400 & 600nl

[mixchange]

Second hand at table. I played the first calling a raise, then folded to a flop bet.

I don't necessarily like the way I played the hand (I meant to raise to $36 or $40 PF), I should have made the decision on the flop to push instead of calling his push on the turn where he could hit yahtzee and I don't get any FE... that is, if we want FE? Who thinks we're ahead, who thinks behind? Really only a set beats me vs. his range, and I'd be surprised if he's playing it this fast, so I go for it.

Button has to have AK, KK or AA here right? I haven't been 3 betting light so I'd think he had to have a strong hand to make this kind of serious raise. I nit-folded. Who pushes?

I think both hands are fine.

Unless you think there's a possibility that button can do this enough with air or jj/10s , it's a pretty clear fold.

Do you reraise really light from the blinds? If not, you definitely need to make it at least 44 with that KK hand. Easy shove on the flop.

fine but ive two points:

PFR more with KK, why so small?? given you raised so small opp will have alot more hands in his range IMO than normal so your postflop play is fine.

why arent you a full stack on both tables in my 2nd point

[sauce123]

raise more when u raise

1st hand- shove flop

2nd hand- seems fine

Goat, I'm not full stacked prolly cuz I just lost a hand, thats not much to be down in either, $16 and $32 thats like a PF raise and a bet

Like I said, I regretted not raising a bit more with the kings, but I don't think I'd go passed $40, hand gets too obvious around $48 and most ppl fold. Sometimes I also rush too much and as a result dont get everthing exactly how I want.

I was interested to see if anyone was gonna get aggro with the queens, but if sauce and mass are folding then I dont see anyone pushing it ;p
