What do you think of these? Standard? Villians in both hands had VP$IPs > 30.

2nd one is OK. First one, why not raise PF? Why push that flop? What makes you so sure your A or K if it hits will be good? I like a check/raise, but not a c/r all in.

First one, why not raise PF?

The PF raiser was a very tight raiser. I tend not to reraise them PF. Maybe it would've been good here for isolation.

Why push that flop? What makes you so sure your A or K if it hits will be good?

The guy that bet the flop was not the guy that raised PF. If he has AJ I'm only behind like 54/46. I'm ahead of non-dominating one pairs. A set is also possible I guess, but I don't know whether he'd overbet the pot with one. I figured when you throw in a bit of FE, this becomes +EV.

I like a check/raise, but not a c/r all in.

Effective stacks postflop are $70. He bet $15. It seemed to me that a smaller c/r would be silly.

i like it.

I don't like the first one. I like your logic preflop but post flop that's too much. Maybe if you had a pair with the flush draw... The second I like. For all the same reasons Freechus9 already stated. Love playing the aggressive draws though.

A guy with over 30 vpip potted a flop with 5 people involved.. he isn't folding.

I don't think it is played that bad, however. Any other reads on him? Is he ususally passive or aggressive? Just saying >30 vpip isn't giving too much info besides they see too many flops. Some fish know to bet their hands.

[Rockymv]

His postflop aggression factor was 2.6, which is very high for someone as loose as he is.

In any case, my thinking is probably skewed by the results of this hand. Turns out he had 33.
