Hand 4 - Same Villain as hands 2 and 3. By now we know he is 50/0 and probably 7 or 8 on aggression. He seems to decide someone does or doesn't have it and plays accordingly for the rest of the hand.

Hand 1: I raise the flop big. Probably to 5. And I fold to a push. Two pair is a hand that you want to win without a showdown.

Hand 2: Just call the turn minraise. He has a straight likely and you are drawing to 10 outs. When you miss on the river, don't fold to a bet or anything, just don't do anything to make the pot any bigger with a likely 2nd best hand.

Hand 3: I raise to 1.25 preflop. Turn raise isn't too bad, but I would probably just fold to the bet. Call the silly turn bet and draw to your 2 outer. If a seven doesn't come on the river then you are done with this hand.

Hand 4: Great raise preflop. Most new players play AA/KK weakly preflop in hopes that everyone won't fold. Flop is good. Thats a tough fold on the turn, but I think I can find it if I have a read on UTG. If he has the typical nutcamper stats, then I can fold that turn figuring he has 77. You need pokertracker and pokerace hud or gametime to have this information.

Hand 5: Buy in for full always. I raise to 1.25 preflop. Just call the minraise on the flop. You aren't necessarily beat, he probably just has a jack, but maybe not.

Hand 6: This is ok I think. Since UTG is short stacked you have to play it like this I think. I think he has QT or KT. J9 doesn't seem possible, unless he's a donk who calls big bets with gutshots. 44 maybe but you hafta pay this off.

H1: I folded. I seem to go broke with these hands a lot and on the 1st hand a lot. I like you're line to try and take it down right there.

H2: He had A4 and won with straight. I can't seem to take my foot off the gas in this spot. Based on the board, I should have noticed there weren't many second best hands he could be playing this way. Pot control would have been a good idea.

H3: I folded to river push.

H4: Villain has Th Jc for a pair of Jacks. I've got Poker Tracker and HUD. He is 50/0 and super aggro after flop, which definitely changed the way I played it.

H5: I felt like he was just playing back at me on this one for the previous hands. His stats were like 32/10. I don't know how often this is a good idea but it felt like a good play at the time, despite the result. He had KQo and hit a K on river to win.

H6: When he raised me on the turn when the 10 hit, I considered AJ but I didn't think he would call the flop bet with a gut shot. Yeah, right. He had AJ.

Thanks Renton.
