6 hands 1/2 help me out

Results 1 to 5 of 5
  1. #1

    Default 6 hands 1/2 help me out

    I'm playing my usual tight super aggro in all of these.

    Guy to my left is a LAGdonk, calling almost everything preflop. Makes huge bluffs and value bets and everything has worked for him so far. SB is another huge donk. These two love to play against each other (possible collusion??) What do you do on the turn (I'll post the rest later)?

    Hand 3
    Villain is a LAG, likes to minraise a lot preflop.He has huge tournament winnings (50k+) which leads me to believe he is just f'ing around at these stakes (or just sucks at cash). Hasn't really shown down much, not gotten into big pots. Also, I 3-bet him preflop twice (called both times) and pushed him out of the pot on the flop.

    Hand 6
    Assume no reads. Luckily some donk named Renton555 in Mp2 folded the flop. This hand is merely an exercise in reads and bet sizing. What do you put him on and what do you think he will call? Do you bet the river or check behind? If you bet, how much?

    #1 hehe, misread your reads at first. Any reads on BB? Betting will leave us commited to crai, I´m indifferent between betting and checking.

    #2 I´m lost in these spots

    #3 does he have Qxss/KQ/QJ often enough to make this a call?

    #4 fold

    #5 Probably AJ+, 67, KTss(?). Bet 80

    #1. I'd probably check here and call most any river if he decides to lead. There's a chance he tries to raise you off of your hand if he is very aggressive (which you do state he is LAG). Most of the time with any piece he'll lead into you on the river, which is an easy call versus an overaggressive opponent.

    If he checks the river to you, bet about half to 2/3 pot.

    2.) I'd expect to be against JJ+ here versus a tight player, and you have 10 outs to beat an overpair. Fold equity is nonexistant here, as he has 2/3 of his stack in the pot. When it gets back to you the pot is $132 and it's $51 to call. With 10 outs (4, black 8, 9) you're around 40% to hit and getting the odds to put it in, correct? (somebody check my math)

    By the way there is an outside chance you're up against a set, but I'm greatly discounting it because you said he's tight.

    3.) My gut says you're way behind here, because villain got appropriate odds to draw to any set preflop, and I've seen that passive flop - aggressive turn line all too many times. In my opinion you'd be calling to chop here at best, which means you should lay it down.

    4.) This one is an instafold for me because you have no image and villain raised into multiple villains.

    5.) That turn bet by villain is such a bummer. It doesn't "look" to me like he has a Q, but could have a 6, I guess? The problem is you didn't either bail or commit on the turn. You can't call $43 because you have put in more than 1/3 of your starting stack (PNL topic). You should have made your decision at the turn, and all signs really point to fold (because villain would probably reraise most pairs that you are ahead of preflop)

    6.) An unknown I would put on a flush draw (KQs-KJs) or Ax (AT-AQ). Check-call really screams flush draw to me, but unknowns could easily do this with Ax. I check the river and note whatever he calls down with, win or lose...if he catches up with 67 or the gutshot low pair draw so be it.

    Hand 1 According to your read I'd worry about BB more than MP2. Check and let MP2 bet. Fold if BB sticks around, CRAI if BB folds.

    Hand 2 I guess you could call. If you hit turn you get compensated for implied odds. If you don't you're priced in to call AI on turn.

    Hand 3 check TP behind turn against nondonks. As played fold

    Hand 4 fold

    Hand 5 Man I don't know. Read needed

    Hand 6 check behind -- you aren't calling a river check-raise.

    This is the rest of hand 1. Remember there is still a guy left to act after me.

    BBQsquirrel In hand 2, I don't think I can just call the flop. Every card that helps me is a scare hard for him, and could shut down action.
    In hand 3, we made what is likely the best hand he looks to be on a draw. Although checking for pot control is merited, why do you say "check TP behind turn against nondonks."
    Hand 6 Just because we aren't calling a river check-raise doesn't mean we shouldn't bet against a weaker ace or something like Ks10s

    Setzy in hand 1 you don't take into account the reads (there are two people I'm up against here)
