I just suck -- KQ hand

Results 1 to 6 of 6
  1. #1

    Default I just suck -- KQ hand

    Villain is a total turd burglar: 67/24/4 after only 30+ hands. I have seen him min-raise already, but he hasn't shown down.

    HAND #1
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($52.90)
    CO ($49.25)
    Button ($64.55)
    SB ($18.80)
    BB ($49.20)
    UTG ($79.40)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with 3, 3.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $2, Button calls $2, 2 folds.

    Flop: ($4.75) 7, T, 7 (3 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    Turn: ($4.75) 3 (3 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    River: ($4.75) 5 (3 players)
    Hero bets $1, Button raises to $6, Hero raises to $17.5, Button raises to $29, Hero calls $11.50.

    Final Pot: $62.75

    I know I should bet the turn, but I was waiting for him to bluff at the pot so I could CR him. He is a poor somewhat aggressive player.


    HAND #2 - Same villain
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($75.65)
    SB ($49.90)
    BB ($36.30)
    UTG ($10.30)
    MP ($31.30)
    CO ($86.50)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, Q.
    UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero raises to $2.5, BB calls $2, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($5.50) Q, T, 6 (3 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $4.5, BB raises to $9, Hero calls $4.50.

    Turn: ($23.50) 8 (3 players)
    BB bets $7, Hero calls $7.

    River: ($37.50) J (3 players)
    BB bets $17.8 (All-In), Hero ???

    hand 2: Raise this turn. I don't like the 8h, it puts a FD and SD on the board and makes for a hard decision on the river depending on the card. As played I call the river bet simply because he's a dummy, but I'm not surprised to see QT or QJ flipped over as well as T2o.

    Hand #2- Therein lies the problem. The villain is so loose I don't know where I am in the hand. I am trying to control the pot here, but I don't want him catching some funky 2 pair or straight. I don't like raising the turn. Hell I was happy he only put $7 in on the turn b/c it felt weak, and I thought I was ahead.

    You're more than likely ahead on the turn, the fact that he only bet 1/3 of the pot says he's weak, so push. I understand the pot control but he's an idiot...TPTK is normally good here, plus he doesn't seem smart enough to bet weak hoping you'd push him AI.

    My guess is he would have folded to any further aggression on the turn, when you just called it he insta-decided you were weak and that he would push any river card.

    You have to call the river just because he's an idiot. But I wouldn't be surprised if he stumbled into 2-pair on the river with the J. Pushing the turn is best, but I'm not getting away from this hand anywhere against this villian.

    hand 1 - super easy bet on the turn, get that pot built. River, your lead bet sucks. It looks like you got paid because he has a good hand, not because you tricked him.

    hand 2 - I like push or fold on turn. Since you don't know what he min-raises with I probably fold. If he's $25 shorty easy push on flop.

    I realize Hand #1 sux as played. I guess the question is do you just call the last raise or try to get it all in with bottom boat? Did I miss value against a Lagtard?
