    Default Couple Folds from Tonight's Spew-a-thon

    Ran pretty terribly tonight for the first time in a while. Plz just tell me if these folds seem overly weak.

    Hand 1 :


    Villain is pretty solid 21/7. He knows I've pushed him off some pots.


    - satchmo sitting in seat 1 with $338.30
    - Gramm86 sitting in seat 2 with $552.92
    - VILLAIN sitting in seat 3 with $318.60
    - HERO sitting in seat 4 with $768.85
    - TenGrand sitting in seat 5 with $62.50
    - gchads sitting in seat 6 with $172.50 [Dealer]

    satchmo posted the small blind - $1.50
    Gramm86 posted the big blind - $3.00
    ** Dealing card to HERO: Queen of Clubs, King of Hearts
    VILLAIN called - $3.00
    HERO raised - $14.00
    TenGrand folded
    gchads folded
    satchmo called - $14.00

    satchmo folded
    VILLAIN raised - $76.00
    HERO folded


    Hand 2 :

    Is it even worth a blocking bet here? I felt like a puss. Villain is 40/20 but it was either a 10 or some busted draw (jq/kq). Not many hands with him not sure if he likes to bet with position on later streets.

    Hand 3 : Villain is laggtard-ish 43/18. Prob should have 4-bet preflop.

    Hand 4 :

    This is just an epilogue. Made me want to shoot myself a little bit... Don't think you can make a great argument for calling though. Maybe should have lead flop... but would rather keep pot small vs relatively tight villain.

    Hand 1: I call the min-raise in position to see if he's just playing back. He may just check down after you call. But since half your outs may be tainted, it might not be worth proceeding.

    I think all other hands are good folds even the short stacks one.

    genitruc,

    Hand 1: Good fold, this connects with a lot of hands this type of play will limp UTG with.

    Hand 2: Even though its a minraise I hate preflop because you'll be OOP with a close to terrible hand. I think a block bet on the river for around $20 is fine. But I c/f these spots a lot as well myself.

    hand 3: NH, even though he's a lagtard this is just a terrible flop for you.

    hand 4: Preflop, I dont like unless you know villian is raising his button very often. Postflop is fine, checking is better, because it will give you a lot information because you relative position on the preflop raiser, and leading will fold out his wiffed hands and make him call/raise with better hands most of the time.
