    Default Couple 6-Max Hands (100NL)

    I'm following Sauce's Guide to Beating 6-Max NL Post-UIGEA, which is tight preflop with a lot of 3-betting (Stats show me running 15/14 after 3k hands). I'm trying to follow the postflop guidelines and have a few spots that I want to see if I am following the correct lines:

    Hand 1: Villain is 35/6/1 over 125 hands.

    Hero ($104)
    UTG ($96.40)
    MP ($79.85)
    CO ($218.45)
    Button ($167.20)
    SB ($125)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with T, T.
    1 fold, MP calls $1, 3 folds, Hero raises to $5, MP calls $4.

    Flop: ($10.50) 6, 7, 5 (2 players)
    Hero bets $8, MP calls $8.

    Turn: ($26.50) 3 (2 players)
    Hero bets $18...

    Is this correct...double barrel since I have better than top pair? If villain calls, fire again on a blank river / scare card that doesn't match the board? Fold turn to a raise/all in?


    Hand 2: Villain is 16/13/3 over 297 hands. His turn lead got my head spinning, and then when the river comes out...well, just see for yourself.

    Button ($89.95)
    SB ($49.35)
    BB ($101)
    UTG ($35.25)
    MP ($100)
    Hero ($107.15)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with , .
    UTG calls $1, 1 fold, Hero raises to $5, 2 folds, BB calls $4, UTG folds.

    Flop: ($11.50) , , (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $8, BB calls $8.

    Turn: ($27.50) (2 players)
    BB bets $15, Hero calls $15.

    River: ($57.50) (2 players)
    BB bets $29, Hero ... ?

    He bets half pot, and my two pair beats hardly anything now. Should I have not called the turn, or is there a better line?
    Just trying to implement the ideas behind this style correctly
    Save your stories 'cuz they're all the same..

    1 looks fine.

    I raise the turn in hand 2 and see what happens. He's repping a hand like JT/67, but I don't think he has better than our 2 pair.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    hand 1: this is fine. if villain pushes over your turn bet i might fold, but i fire a 3rd barrell on a blank river.

    hand 2: i take this line with a set quite often on a non scary flop, and you basically beat nothing here. fold.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.
