    Default 2 25NL hands

    Played alexos in some 25NL (so he obv. knew what he was doing at least). He had a tight calling range OOP pre and am pretty sure he was calling 3bets tightly on the button. Are these horrible?

    1.
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

    Button ($64.05)
    Hero ($25)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
    Button raises to $1, Hero raises to $3, Button calls $2.

    Flop: ($6) , , (2 players)
    Hero bets $4, Button calls $4.

    Turn: ($14) (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $8, Hero raises to $18


    2.
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($50.65)
    Hero ($25)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, A.
    Hero raises to $1, BB calls $0.75.

    Flop: ($2) A, 2, 3 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $1.5, BB calls $1.50.

    Turn: ($5) 7 (2 players)
    BB bets $3, Hero calls $3.

    River: ($11) 7 (2 players)
    BB bets $8, Hero calls $8.

    Should I be raising turn or river in this hand?


    EDIT: Here are my reasonings of each hands:
    1. Flop is great for me. He probably has overs and thinks I whiffed. By checking the turn, I think he bets here a lot, having air in his range a ton.

    2. I obviously beat most aces but he could have a two-pair or set on flop. I can see an argument on turn because I have the nut flush draw plus a very strong hand as it is. Then on the river, I beat all the two-pairs on the flop, which also might equal a raise.

    1 - i'd probably just lead turn, but once you check and he bets 8 idk what else you can really do.

    2 - omg raise turn

    Well u have zero FE in hand 1 and you're getting the right price to call....ehh, fuck it I'm ALL IN, I wish you had like $10 more behind cuz I don't think he can fold anything getting like 4:1 now.

    Hand 2, I first looked and didn't see you had NFD, raise turn, call a push.

    Also, this is horrible for your BR if you're playing Alexos HU at your normal stakes, you trying to burn money?

    No, trust me the BR is fine playing him. I would never do this with an unknown.

    Hey I told you my exact cards (no suits) and you lied about yours...and I still crushed

    And you guys are taking what I am saying wrong, I meant no one was going to take any decent amount (for me) from the other. We played together in 6max and everyone just left, so we played for a little.

    There are several viable lines on hand 1, I kind of like yours.

    Hand 2 is fine. I probably like it better than raising the turn against a good player (this was Alexos right?)

    Call me dumb but I'm taking into consideration that kmind is far and away a good player and given what I suspect his game to be we can't get it in on the turn for value.

    The key point in hand 2 is what the hell am I leading turn with...

    I see good things in c/c then c/c (non improved), but i like raising the turn vs most 25nl
