    Default Tough spots, 400nl and 600nl

    Have been playing on a site which doesnt support holdem manager.. the players are spewey and stationy and will sometimes make moves but not so many.

    The player in this hand seemed a bit better than the others but no where close to 400NL standards. FTR doesnt support there hand histories either. Some asian site.

    100bb effective stacks. I have AKhh UTG and open to 16. CO calls. Pot 36.

    Flop Kd 8c 7d.

    I bet 28 and get called. Pot 90

    Turn Kd 8c 7d Jh.

    I was torn between c/c'ing, b/f'ing and b/c'ing. Dont really like b/fing equity and I think i might have to call it off given the price i would be getting. There is the off chance that he could raise me with a combo draw that picked up some additional equity which i would be crushing. Dont really like not betting my hand for value either coz i could get called by worse and there are a lot of awful rivers which i would have to c/f on if he were to check through.

    Whats the best line here with about $350 behind?

    The player in this hand was doing all sorts of wierd stuff. Had been playing with him for a long while and i had seen him do some crazay overbet shoves and overbets when checked to as the PFR. We were 4 handed at this point in time. My general opinion of him was of an aggro spewtard.


    600NL 4 handed. 100b effective

    BTN raises to 24 i flat with JJ in the SB. HU to the flop. pot 52.

    Flop 6s 7s Jd.

    I check and he bets pot. I c/r to 150 and he calls. Pot 350

    Turn 6s 7s Jd Ts.

    With a little more than one pot sized bet whats the best line.



    These two really stuck with me. Thanks in advance.

    Hand 1
    -I think its fine to b/f 70ish on this turn. I don't expect him to raise combo draws that often, and much more often with KJ/straights than with combo draws.

    Hand 2
    -I would definitely 3bet JJ vs a huge spewtard
    -as played, would help to know if we had Js in our hand? If we do, then I'm leaning more towards c/cing. Regardless I'm not folding vs him, especially when this type of player is likely to put another raise in with a FD on the flop.
