Hand 1 is an easy shove imo (gg if he has the case 9 or 33 but an aggressive player can just be recklessly pricing himself in here with a big overs + FD type hand)

Hand 2 is gross. dunno what I'd do or what to tell you

[griffey24]

Thanks for the reply genitruc. anyone else?

Does everyone raise with trip 9's there, or is flat calling to keep worse hands in a better play?

fold hand 2

[silu73]

Hand 1: Against a nit a fold but against a guy with those stats I might just shove

Hand 2: Fold and spew

[meeloche]

Hand 1: push and give him a pat on the back if hes got 33 or the case 9

Hand 2: Looks like a missed draw trying to make a play or a poorly played set im thinking a set and i probably fold its close though IMO

hand one -- puuuuuush and feel great about it


hand two -- puke in your mouth and fold



in hand two you could have checked/called (on the river), I do this sometimes with big one-pair hands...

[dsaxton]

Pretty much what everyone else said. Push hand one, and two is a cake fold.

[gabe]

on hand 2 i would have bet at least 70 on turn and then pushed the river

[benny999]

I'd cry/call hand 2. some fish like to min raise bluff rivers when you bet like that.
I agree with gabe on bet sizing though since he's soo bad or maybe c/c the river.

[griffey24]

Thanks for the replies guys.

Its good to hear that most of you push hand 1. I wasn't sure if I should be more worried about being outkicked. But yah, I pushed the turn and villain called with 33.

Hand 2: I have a veeeeeeeery hard time folding to these weird raises in weird spots by fish. Partly cause I am waay too curious to see just how the fish screwed me this time lol (huge leak yah) But he raised and I called and he had 34 for the rivered straight, blah.
