Some recent hands, let me know how you think I played them.

1: I have a hard time folding 4c6c in the BB to a min raise. Maybe that's the problem right there. The raise on the turn seems not so good to me perhaps. Opp was new but over 20 hands was 31/6/2

2: Button is a TAG reg, CO is a 18/7/3 loose preflop but aggressive after. I felt that bet/folding river was the best play but check calling is perhaps better?

I think I played this poorly but I'm honestly not sure what exactly to do on the flop and turn.

3: Kind of a weird spot. Over a few hands opp was running 27/23, I had 3 bet him last hand and he folded, so I figured he would be calling me with a loose range. That said, on the turn I feel like not that many worse hands are calling me, but with the two flush on the board I think this is my only play.

4: Against the CO from hand 2 above, 18/7/3. I figured c/c on the river allows some worse hands to bet.

Hand 1: Flop is the time to go apeshit.
Hand 2: Bet flop methinks
Hand 3: Not bad, tho maybe I prefer betting smaller on the turn, idk?
Hand 4: Not bad, but I prefer betting 35 on river - Kx type hands will check behind often here.

Hand 1: C/raise flop or lead on flop are both viable options. As played on flop i think i lead turn since u dont want to give him the opportunity to check it through. As played on turn i guess u have to stick the rest in on river and hope he calls with TP.

Hand 2: Bet flop and stick it in if the aggro raises u. As played i like the bet/fold on river.

Hand 3: Nh, but bet more on flop so u have appx a psb on turn.

Hand 4:Nh, but i think betting river is better than checking, since he seems passive and i think he checks behind > valuebets with KK or herocalls with QQ/JJ

[cjs55]

One reason I didn't want to bet in hand 4 on the river is that I wanted to be able to fold to a push, but I didn't want that small bet to inspire a bluff raise.

Of course, I ended up having to pay a full pot size bet to see if my aces were good instead of less had i bet/folded. But sometimes he's bluffing there so I think that equals out. I was just worried about a bluff raise against a smallish value bet on the river. Maybe that's just not a legit fear and people rarely actually do that.

[Andypandy]

If u think he's thigh enough not to raise AK pf i like a bigger betsizing so u can push on river. If he plays postflop fit or fold and does only setmine it makes the hand iffy, his betsizing on river says set or straight/bluff imo, don't think he bets that hard with Kx or pp.

Hand 1: Flop play is fine. Shove river for value.
Hand 2: Bet this flop please
Hand 3: Bigger flop bet makes the turn shove less awkward
Hand 4: This is so it depends. I would just c/r the rest in on the river.

One reason I didn't want to bet in hand 4 on the river is that I wanted to be able to fold to a push.

Don't fold the nuts to a push.

Turn is ok?

And I don't understand why you would shove the river at all. What hands is he calling with that I beat? AQ is the only one I can think of and even that is unlikely given my huge ass turn raise. You'd never guess what he checked behind, btw.

Don't fold the nuts to a push.

I understand that it's pretty hard for him to have a set here, but considering he is an 18/7 it's possible he would slowplay it that stupidly. I don't see much of a reason he would think he could take me off my hand with a busted draw if I bet the river, and there's no reason for him to raise a hand with value.

That said I guess if a small value bet on the river inspired a stupid bluff, that would be solid and thus I should bet/call river. And I guess a c/r would be good because he would be pot committed with a worse hand?

This time the guy had a pretty sick but semi-understandable holding. I'm very glad I just called this time, but maybe it was the wrong play in the long run?

[cjs55]

don't think he bets that hard with Kx or pp.

No doubt, and the bet size actually seriously bothered me. It was strange enough of a line that I think I had to at least call, but why he bet so much in that spot was really troubling to me. If I was semibluffing through the hand a smaller bluff gets the job done, if I was purely bluffing a smaller bluff gets the job done, but if I have solid value I'm probably going to call here. It weirded me out, and I was indeed behind on the river.

[cjs55]

Going through hand 2...

If I bet the flop and get raised, do I go all in on the flop?

If I bet the flop and get called, do I bet again on the turn? If I get raised on the turn, it seems like a really shitty spot.
