200NL, I'm the preflop raiser, facing flop aggression

    Default 200NL, I'm the preflop raiser, facing flop aggression

    hand 1:
    -I haven't been getting too out of line, running at like 22/15, but definitely raising most buttons
    -SB was 22/19/12 over only 100 hands, and was betting a lot, so his flop lead didn't mean much to me
    -UTG+1 was new to the table at the time of this hand, so no real reads
    -what is the best play on the flop here, flat call to keep it mulitiway or raise since I was the preflop raiser?

    Hand 1, yes I'd call, you're getting direct odds. UTG+1 isn't going anywhere, so raising just builds a pot without a hand.

    Hand 2, I don't really know about the flop call. Someone better then me should comment on it. I think you're ahead here very often with the cold calls preflop. Someone having a 9 (SB?) is very possible though, so I don't mind the call.
    I would fold the river, especially with button to act.

    edit: Possible instead of impossible...tiny difference

    1) Call is fine, raise is fine..what sucks is that this flop hits their range bigtime...so maybe call, but then again when u have AA you usually raise this flop. Soooo, depends who you play against? Against crypto donks both options are fine imo

    2)I wanna know CC% of SB. Its gotta be pretty high anyways, and chances are he might have a 9...but I'm pretty much calling that river anyways though, since it's a smallish bet and there are quite a few hands we beat (55-88).

    hand 1 call
    hand 2 fold
    looks like a value bet, I put button on mid pocket pair 77,88 or 10,10
    but sb surely has a 9. And he's betting out of position into 2 people.

    A lot of people are saying to call hand 1. Should I be more or less likely to raise hand 1 if the board is K56, instead of 356, and the action before me is the same?

    How so? You thinks 7s and 8s are good?
    Hero is getting 24:56 - ~3:2 express. He is 5:1 against hitting the turn.

    Now, you want to argue he has the implied odds to call... maybe - plus he might have air, or A6, or 44. But in no way does he have odds to chase here.

    Hand 1 you're calling $24 to make a $104 pot. That's not direct odds (without overcards as outs) but they're pretty good. And you have 2 streets, 2 opponents, and position on your side to make up the slack. You are also drawing to the nuts.

    Without a read on UTG+1 you can't know if raising here is +EV. If you are always going to get called or reraised here a raise is no good.

    It's 24:80 (1:3,33) actually as UTG+1 called already. You're right, hero doen't get direct odds as he should get 1:4.9.
    There can't be an argue about a call when implied odds are taking into account though.

    1st one is +EV as long as you dont fold

    2nd one is so close it probably doesnt matter

    hand 1 raising or calling are both fun. I'd be more prone to call since it looks like ppl are here with mid PP's /OESD so you're very likely to get huge action when you hit

    hand 2 I kind of like a fold after the overcall.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
