    Default 3 25nl hands

    No reads again, just sat down. 1st hand I think is pretty butchered. Was hoping he had air (missed draw) or KQ though a lot of hands are in his range that beat me. Hand 2 I put villain on an overpair, should I have? Hand 3 just not sure what to do here.

    Hand #1: I raise flop to thin the field. As played I call turn/river.
    Hand #2: I think your flop raise is too big, and his push over is curious. I think I call absent a read. I think UTG raising range is probably 66+ here and we beat most of those.
    Hand #3: I think you are better off checking your BB option here. It is hard to play draws OOP and especially hard to get paid once you hit OOP. As played I think the river call is -EV, but I see some donkey stuff at Pstars 25NL.
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    You mean the turn call?

    Thanks for the help

    1)I dont really like how you played it. I mean I dont think 25nl players leads draws on all 3 streets and make it look like half pot value on river. You should probably raise the flop most of the time, and if u call turn you should probably call river also.

    2) well played, nh..dont ever fold this, and raising that big is fine too.

    3)check preflop...betting flop is fine, fold to a RR w/out a read. As played, i think c/r turn is better than b/calling.
    Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    1. I actually don't hate this. Without a read I fold the river though. Another good option is a smallish flop raise (like to $8) and shut down after that.

    2. Nice hand.

    3. Check the bb, your hand doesn't play great oop. If you do raise it, $1 will probably do the same as $1.50 (build the pot and give you the initiative). On the turn I probably c/c a reasonable bet or c/r if I have a read that this guy floats. As played, you're getting less than 3:1 on his push... without a read that he's capable of semibluffing here this is probably a fold.

    1. i definitley dont like the call there. you should raise...

    2. that hand was fine......

    3. like the idea of check raising instead of bet calling....
    I gotta get back to the money....
