Do you pay attention to your opponents or do you use the force to make difficult decisions?

Hand 1: Heavily read dependent.
Hand 2: Standard.
Hand 3: Standard.
Hand 4: I'd love to raise that turn, but I think with money that deep you pretty much have to play it like that.

Fnord, why is a raise on the turn not the ideal play in hand 4? The bet from villain (depending on reads off reads) is rarely a flush ... shouldn't we play for stacks here on the turn?

[gametight]

In hand one, I only have about 150 hands logged with villain. Hes running at 35/14/1.02. I havent seen anything to out of the ordinary since we've played.

[Miffed22001]

1. The guy doesnt know how to play so ill pay him off. I dont like this, but i cant think of a better way to play. He shows up with QJ?

2. Nh,

3. I hceck this flop as its easy to call down and you only improve with a king anyway.

4. dargsghsghsg. Are we good enough to raise the turn as fnord says. Only problem is he might not chase it down then.

[gametight]

Hand 1 hes got KK.

[mxiu]

Hand 1 hes got KK.

That was exactly what I put him on. The hand is heavily read dependent. QJ doesn't play it like that. The push on the river screams that he has TPTK beat. KK-AA actually fit.

[Deanglow]

You have to fold hand 1 without reads. This screams QJ/KK/AA/55 dying for a call.
Hand 2 is standard
With half-stacks, I play hand 3 like this most of the time.
Hand 4 is fine.

[Miffed22001]

Hand 1 hes got KK.

i missed we werent the aggressor preflop here. Yeah you need to fold turn to his action

[gametight]

Ive got a couple more hands from tonight...

Im a little lost on the turn... is this ok?

Thanks for the input too, I think this is really helping my game

[Miffed22001]

5. is not a fold IMO.
6. Is a fold, you dont beat anything but AK and he raises 4% of hands. Eugh i think its a spew.
7. you think he has tp or a draw? Otherwise id stick this in 75% of the time as a rule versus this guy/stack

[gingerwizard]

Hand1:
I like to 3-bet this on the button.
Flop is fine
Turn raise sucks. I like a flat call because it's cheap, but a raise is fine if you raise enough. pot is $39 and he has to call $15 more? wtf?
As played fold river without reads.

Hand 2:
Preflop good
Flop seems good. I played this exact hand and ran into AA on monday though!

Hand 3:
Seems fine against short stack. If he has a Q spiking a K on river would be your best bet,

Hand 4:
Preflop good
Pot the flop.
You need some reads for the turn here.

Not sure I like this because he folds a lot of hands we beat. Checking behind and calling the river may make more when he doesnt have the flush

[gingerwizard]

wait a minute. Which hand has the rock and which has the Lagg? My suggestions are not right if the rock has 3-bet your QQ pre. Thought it was the lagg.

[Vi-Zer0Skill]

One thing i noticed looking at the HH's is that in many of these hands you aren't raising enough on the flop.
