a couple hands from 100 NL session

[will641]

i am trying to work on my betting right now, particularly on strange boards like ones where a two pair or set is likely to have hit, so i will be posting a lot of hands like that, even if the answer may be obv. i am on a big big downswing and think the only way to get back is to start with the basics.

hand 1: villain is a fish, 60/20.

both hands seem played fine to me.

Yeah I play both the same. Sucks when fish actually have hands though.

[Silly String]

First one is fine, but the second I would probably consider a flop b/f without a solid read on villain.

2nd hand is kindof iffy, it'd be good to know if he raises with tp type hands. In all honestly though, I can't see anything else other than shoving.

Bet smaller on river in first one. You want him to call with his 56 or 23, and a huge station folds those to overbet shoves often.

I like hand two. Fish will size raises stupid like that with crap.

[IowaSkinsFan]

yep both are good

Bet smaller on river in first one.

his stack is only about $26 on river.

[Numbr2intheWorld]

hand 1 is probably more like 50 bucks if you haven't showed a bluff or a raised draw or something yet.
