    Default One standard one not... 200NL

    Hand 1: No reads to report, just random multitabling. Is my river push horrible? I couldn't see a fold if I checked and saw a bet.

    1: Slow down on turn. I prefer a CHK/R here than a lead out. Too horrible card just hit.
    2: Raise pf. As played, I'd prefer a bigger river bet, say, $40.

    Hand one sucks I really don't know what I'd do here - He doesnt have much left but his line looks like a draw and they all hit. Tough spot. Does everyone bet this turn?

    Hand two, after two calls on the flop I'm tempted to just give up. We're behind so many hands on the turn.

    In 1 you arent folding the turn i dont think, the only problem with river is the only hands calling have you smoked, a lower set struggles to call river....

    2.
    meh, i probably play it the same and get raised on the river faaaaaar too much.

    1. I think turn bet is too big. I would adopt check-call on turn and hope for a paired river.
    I would check river and probably fold to any decent bet. There is a chance that villain has 2 pair or overpair and is also scared of board. I want this hand shown down cheaply.

    2. I play it same way. I think river bet is nice blocker
    pocket Jacks eh?

    1) I check-call beyond turn. You aren't folding out better hands
    As played I check-fold river. CO called two siginficant bets in horrible relative position -- either he's a donk or he is mighty strong

    2) I like the block-bet. I don't think I want to check-call a big bet from KJ/KT/QT/T9/88

    hand one i'd make a committing bet on the turn or check. I hate your half pot bet. Honestly im thinking the best play on the turn is to just bet call. You don't have any stats on the villains at all?

    hand two i'd probably jack it up preflop. As played, i think i just check the river and fold to a big bet, im pretty sure you aren't going to get bluffed here, and i don't think theres much value in betting.

    ppl usually fold pre, and when they call they fold on 88% of flops.

    I just reread this assuming I didn't respond.

    Hand 1: wtf is your turn bet, that is seriously horrible. Just put at least 3/4ths pot in, I probably just put pot in. As played you can c/f river, lol like someone at 200nl is going to bluff you out, and even if he was, wtf hand is he going to do it with?

    Hand 2: I think I actually like your line, but I bet like 35 on river.
