#3 - I just decided to throw this in here. Both villains are around 70vpip and fairly aggressive. I meant to 3bet the flop but almost timed out trying to size the bet, and had to just call to prevent folding. Then I wanted to stop a river bluff and charge draws a little bit with my turn min raise.

hand 1: i call this, you are getting great pot odds and he could be doing this with a lot that you beat.

hand 2: tough spot but i would probably call this against this tuype of player.

hand 3: i'd threebet the flop. as played, raise more on the turn (minraises suck)

[benny999]

Thanks for the feedback.

#1 If I call isn't it implied I am calling up to the remaining 28 in button stack, and risk scare cards hitting the river too? I was considering check/raising #1 because like you said, he could be doing this with lots I beat.

#2 I agree...maybe I should even have pushed the turn.

#3 I meant to 3bet flop, but as played doesn't too much of a raise (likely just a push with that pot and stacks) only get called by a better hand on that turn?

#1. yes, he is a shorty and you have an overpair. he could have a trey but that's unlikley given the preflop raise. the only thing you should be afraid of is overpairs and maybe some flushdraw or A7, something like that. i'd pay off most rivers i think, not sure if that's great though.

#3, yeah maybe. a call could be better here, because a minraise just makes the pot bigger without scaring anyone off or cutting any odds down.

1: bet more on flop, call his turn bet (man dont fold this overpair with those awesome pot odds).

2: Fold prf. You have a trashy hand, and even worse - you are OOP with a drawing hand, yuck.
If co is aggro enough to cbet when checked to, I like a c/r , because of your relative position.
The action is weird, he calls on the flop and raises the turn, kind screams monster, maybe either AA or AJ turning twopair. But I call turn because of his aggro tilty image.
River is meh. I call here if I have confidence in my read on him (that is a tilty aggro).

3: yeah 3-bet flop here with that drawy board. I dont get the turn minraise. I might just fold the turn here because of the flop and turn action from both opponents (SB could very well be trappy you on the turn with a c/r).

[benny999]

Thanks guys.

The more I think of it and these replies, the more I think I should just lead more in hand 1 and check/shove the turn. Either that or check fold the flop.

And #2, I really think if I was a little better post flop, calling is fine for pre flop in this situation (loose cannons ahead of me). I just probably should've called the river but guess folding isn't too bad since it really looks like he has me beat with this line.

In 3, they both folded to my min raise . Regardless though, I wish I would've fired the 3bet on the flop, or jsut called the turn...stupid timer on hollywood seems like 10 seconds though.

1) Def call turn and re-evaluate on river.

2) Shove turn all day, esp vs this guy.

3) Yeah, I'd 3-bet flop or fold. Calling really sucks here. Minraise on the turn is terrible. What do you hope to accomplish by doing this?
