2 tough folds

[fjuanl]

1)Opp is pretty aggressive but has only shown down good hands. I was thinking about checking behind on the river but I convinced myself to not be weak tight and made a pointless bet.

Hand 1 use position and bet turn?
I really dont think you can fold the river there, there is no way villian checks a full house there. He might have a six i guess, but does he really check that there too?
In short, Does he expect you to bet 100% of hte time when he checks to you on the river?????

Hand 2
I tend to fold that preflop but wateverrrrrr. Not having position blows tho.
Bet flop IMO

[fjuanl]

i decided to fold hand 1 because i didnt think it was worth that much of my stack to see if i was either...

a) splitting the pot
b) losing to full house/flush

i think most of the time its just some agrro donk being an idiot with an ace but is it really worth 300 chips at 10/20 lvl to find out?


am i the only one who thinks betting the river is terrible? its pretty clear he doesnt have an overpair...which means the only hands I actually take the WHOLE pot are Kx hands, which he clearly isnt going to call with.

[TLR]

Hand#1: I would bet the flop after it is checked to me, if not the flop I would bet the turn.

I would not bet the river here, since you are only called/raised by hands that tie or beat you.

Hand#2: I bet the flop, I think as played i am folding to his push

[bruinblue]

hand 1 you gotta call... what hands does he raise PF that youre now not beating? mayyyybee 66/ some other set but thats about it... if hes really an aggressive player theres no way he checks down with a set anyway. maybe AKd but if he has the nut flush, more power to him. youre probably splitting 85% of the time.

hand 2
as played, you must c-bet flop. pretty ragged, probably didnt hit anyone. i pitch it pf because you dont want to face that kind of decision on the flop/turn. no way i call the push though... reeks of A3 soooooted (or something to that effect involving you drawing near dead)

[FlyingSaucy]

Hand 1 - I call the river. A huge part of his range has an Ace, whereas only a small part of the range has a 6, two diamonds, or the boat. Especially because I don't thinnk he'd check the river if he made the 6 high straight, flush or boat.

Hand 2 - I think you played it well. I don't like betting oop on that flop without a pocket pair. The turn hit, you raise, BB reraises, I think that's a pretty good indication that you're beat. some sort of crappy hand with a 3 in it or possibly even pocket 9. BB could be also pulling a move on you here with AT as well. I still think the fold is good though.

Hand 1) Does anyone like a reraise preflop? I hate calling a raise hu with AK..

You have to call the river btw, the action makes it very unlikely you're beat.

Hand 2) nh.

Calling with AK in position seems fine to be
If he were OOP he might want to put the impetus into his hands tho.

3)opp something like 30/7 through 20-30 hands, no hands have been shown down yet

3)
fold or raise preflop
i usually fold, but if ur gonna play it be strong, use position and wat not.
Fold flop.

4)
1k preflop
bet turn then if ur not gonna bet the flop. (any turn)

[TLR]

Hand#3: Raise preflop, I would push his reraise and fully expect to see an A high flush draw

Hand#4: Bet the turn, fold the river, he probably made his hand, very likely a str8

[alreturnslol]

1st hand. Well played all around.

2. Real tough spot, you need to fold pf in order to aviod situations like this.
As played, I dunno very tough spot. I think an argument can be made for both pushing and calling. Unless you have a read that your opponent is solid I lean towards pushing in a 16$.
