    Guys,

    Villain was quite new to the table. Do you think this is often a set affraid of the draw?
    Do you just call or raise?

    jimbo_jimmy ???

    First hand. Can you call the river? (Asking now the question I think this has to be a call as only a 6 will beat us).
    Do you bet on the turn?

    Hand 3:

    Texas Hold'em $0.15-$0.25 NL (real money), hand #457,212,990

    Opps was LAG. My image was tight. This seemed like a strong draw on the flop. Can you call the river?

    Hand 4:

    Texas Hold'em $0.15-$0.25 NL (real money), hand #457,110,121
    Table Fribourg, 1 Jan 1900 9:12 PM ET

    Seat 10: Aquitas1984 ($31.95 in chips)

    misled2 posts blind ($0.15), moulbeux posts blind ($0.25).

    PRE-FLOP
    Doc2000 folds,

    Eski4 folds,
    kmima calls $1,

    FLOP [board cards AD,QH,10C ] (pot: $3.15)
    moulbeux checks,
    jimbo_jimmy bets $2.50,
    kmima calls $2.50,
    moulbeux calls $2.50.

    TURN [board cards AD,QH,10C,3H ] (pot: $10.65)
    moulbeux checks,
    jimbo_jimmy checks,
    kmima checks.

    RIVER [board cards AD,QH,10C,3H,4H ] (pot: $10.65)
    moulbeux bets $8,
    jimbo_jimmy ????

    Entered table not long ago, so not reads yet. Opps will think I was c-betting JJ-TT on the flop most often.
    the fact the kmima is still left to act we are most often behind, no?

    Hand 5:

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP3 ($33.85)
    CO ($25)
    Button ($17.20)
    SB ($27.80)
    BB ($30.25)
    UTG ($27.60)
    Hero ($22.60)
    MP1 ($26.50)
    MP2 ($3.75)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K, A.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, MP3 calls $1, 4 folds.

    Flop: ($2.35) 6, J, A (2 players)
    Hero bets $2, MP3 calls $2.

    Turn: ($6.35) 3 (2 players)
    Hero bets $5, MP3 raises to $30.85, Hero ???.

    My stats were like (15/8/2). Table was quite tight. Opp had played very few hands (his stats were 27/3/2)
    Can you put him on a set? it's true that raising 3xBB my turn bet would put me almost all-in ...

    hand 1. is push/fold. if we call we have half of our effective stack committed so if we're going to play we want to make sure draws pay. looks like a fold though.

    hand 2. is really player dependent the whole way. you can check the turn vs some, bet vs players who call light. also on the river, will this player slowplay a set and then shove on this board? its a fold vs a good player.

    hand 3. raise this gay blocking bet. we often have the best hand, but we're folding out hands we beat with a raise. that is a very scared bet.

    hand 4. fold. its a very strong bet, he isnt vbetting a weak ace this strong. all you beat is a missed straight.

    hand 5. fold, hes taking a very strong line and there are no draws. you can also c/c turn, c/f river unimproved.

    if you break these hands down in to individual posts it would be easier to respond to.

    Drinking your milkshake.
    1) JJ - Push over. Opp could be have a set, or just a lower overpair or a flush draw. Out of position and with the pot bloated I think we have to stack off here.

    2) KK - I raise more pre, and I bet/fold on the turn, as played I call his push getting about 2-1 pot odds, although I smell 76 here.

    3) AA- Against a LAG and in position I like to call his check raise then push over his probable turn bet. When the flush hits and he checks I'm not sure what to do lol. Probably bet $10 and call a push. As played, river is a super easy call.

    4) AK - Played fine but I fold the river since the opp bet into two people he's probably on some sort of gay slowplay.

    5) AK - Standard fold for me against tight boring players. Turn raises mean business and you have the 'obvious' hand.

    i know i hate stacking off with ONE PAIR. good hands, i just dont have enough NL table time to give you solis ansers. I do agree the opp in hand 5 missed a draw

    Hand 1: Fold
    Hand 2: Fold
    Hand 3: Call
    Hand 4: Fold
    Hand 5: Fold

    I am a nit by the way.
    The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing with or, more particularly, with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips.

    1. Push. This isnt often a set here, but youll see one enough. This game is bad enough for this to be any two cards.

    2. You got a free showdown on a horrible board. Take it
    The sick bit is i might call...

    3. Call, price is too good for you not to at these games.

    4. Ugly spot. The only hand you really beat is a crap ace, some donk with a KQ draw/pair or AJ. I think its a fold, but only because of the price, but you dont really beat much...

    5. Easiest fold ever on stars.

    I guess I still have to learn something, but why's that board so horrible? There are no flushs possible and the only thing that bet us is a 6. Can villain have that often enough?
