    Default two frustrating hands from last night..

    one.. i dont remember villain. this was a later position raise, but i still found myself oop. do we still feel best here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP2 ($32.50)
    Hero ($24.75)
    CO ($34.35)
    Button ($53.90)
    SB ($28.15)
    BB ($27.75)
    UTG ($27.45)
    UTG+1 ($26.25)
    MP1 ($24.65)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J, A.
    4 folds, Hero raises to $1, CO calls $1, 3 folds.

    Flop: ($2.10) T, 4, A (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.75, CO raises to $4.5, Hero ??


    two...this one really sucked. i usually will stack of on flops in 3bet pots when villain looks to be raising with position...and the flop comes drawy. but, is this horrible at 25NL? with the minraise, this could be a lot. i gotta admit KQ jumped into my mind, but so did naked Q's, sets, flush draws, and i am good against most of those, especially the straight draws since i hold two K's. is this standard reaction to the minraise? or do we pray for cheap showdown and dump to completed draws? or, if we put him on a draw, is it best to call the minraise and hammer the turn if a blank comes?

    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    hand 1: fold, too dangerous to stack off with TPGK this deep.

    hand 2: Flop aggression, please. if this guy is very aggressive on heavy drawy flop, i will get in my stack ASAP. Otherwise, fold might be a good choice if other options are all bad. One thing i just noticed is if you flat call on flop, you probably commit yourself to the pot( half effective stack in).

    #1 is so hard wothout reads. depending on what I know about him I´d insta fold or shove over. Vs unknown I´d go muck

    #2 hmm. this is a push or fold flop. after asking pokerstove its closer than I thought first, we have 44% vs 99-QQ, AcKc, KQ, QJ. Our equity drops to 32% if QJ is not in his range. After his minraise there´s about 14 in the middle, he has 10 left, laying us 2.4:1 on a shove. Worst case is the 99-QQ, AcKc, KQ range, where we´re 2:1 behind. Get it in.
