"Who's as bad?" Pt. 2

[Keilah]

HAND 5

Villain 23/6/4. Is it terrible that I refused to raise? I couldn't think of any hands on the turn that would call that I was ahead of, and I wanted to let him continue to bluff if that was his plan. Other thoughts?

I generally raise the flop on hand 5... is this bad? I feel like "I raised PF, so I'm raising you because I already said I'm strong"

the advantage is if he does call I'm making manly bets and shoving by the river
the disadvantage is that worse folds a lot
maybe it's an NL10 mindset :/

Hand 6 I'm folding simply because we're deep and if he's betting THIS board he has a piece or it's a 100% bluff
so your hand has been reduced to a bluff catcher since he generally wouldn't try to value bet one pair hands like that

Hand 7 you get paid off by worse if he's as bad as you think
Hand 8 I don't know if I can fold this, but we're deciding whether we want to stack

[badgers]

1- yep
2- fold
3- how terrible? maybe check back river if he's not really terrible.
4- rambo? I don't know what he's doing but i call because I don't like to fold the top of my range to aggro players esp. if they only have half a stack.

hand 8: if you decide to call his c/r, you have to shove on the turn.
I usually fold on the flop if i dont want to felt TPTK.
