    Default Some hands 200NL

    Villain is loose and a little new to the table. I 3-bet him last hand and he has probably seen me rr once or twice before that.

    UTG ($132.75)
    Hero ($358.30)
    Button ($227.15)
    SB ($295)
    BB ($200)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with A, Q.
    UTG raises to $7, Hero raises to $22, 3 folds, UTG raises to $139.75 (All-In), Hero calls $110.75.

    Flop: ($268.50) K, K, J (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: ($196) A (2 players)
    MP checks, [color=#CC3333]Hero ??????????????

    Villain in this hand is a standard TAGG, hasn't stood out as paticularly aggro, tricky, or passive. He checked behind the turn very quickly.

    i've been 3-betting a lot. And i don't know why i c/c the flop it just felt like a fine play at the time.

    Hand 1). I think that a 4bet push preflop is usually K-K+. So i prefer a fold, but given your notes a call probably isn't terrible.

    *Edit: Hand 3). I think if you don't want to check/raise the flop you should bet/fold the turn. I think you can definitely rep a set by leading this turn after check/calling the flop.

    EDIT: lol VZS you threw me off

    Hand 1: Hate it, even in flow people are too much of pussy's, you'd probably se a smaller reraise if it was a bluff.

    Hand 2: I have no idea what to do here, the Ace was essentially meaningless. Idk I prob bet because I feel like i have to call a river bet because of the flush draw bluffing.

    Hand 3: His hand range was polarized when he bet the flop so no don't bet, he's not going to fold JJ-KK or a T anyways.

    Hand 1 Don't think AQ is 42% or better vs his pushing range
    Hand 2 Look for a cheap showdown. You're ahead of a combo draw but you could be behind sets, or you just got taken over by Axc.
    Hand 3 Push and hope that he folds KK-JJ

    I think in hand 3 that flop is really only a c/f or a c/r. Besides the fact that we are OOP, our pair of 7's has little actual value with two more streets to go.

    I don't think a bluff makes much sense in the last hand.
    Hand 1 is nice

    I think an A is a pretty safe card on the turn in hand 2 since A-high combo draws will usually just get it in on the flop.


    If you think villain is a thinker then all that really makes sense is you slowplaying a set on the flop in hand 3 so I wouldn't bluff the river.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Hand 1: You should probably fold. In order to make this call you have to assume there's a good chance he's heavily overplaying something, which you have no reason to believe.

    Hand 2: Clear push. He doesn't have much money left, and I see no reason to give him credit for a better hand.

    Hand 3: A check-push value bluff seems better than check-calling. I can't see him calling without a set or slow-played K-K or A-A (which even together don't seem all that likely). If he calls with one pair you have outs.

    bleh i don't hate a check/push in hand 3 if you think he vbets light (doubtful).
