Couple hands 50nl

Results 1 to 3 of 3
  1. #1

    Default Couple hands 50nl

    Early on in match, no history with villain. He hasn't been super agro and I haven't seen him get out of line. The hands are in the order they happened with same villain, both are early on in match within first 35 hands.

    Hand #1 I really played this bad, my thinking after was I should have 4 bet flop or led the turn. I think he realized my line made no sense hence the raise, please give me a better line for this hand.

    Hand 1 I just ship it in so quick because everyone is F.O.S. on paired boards but you actually have a hand!! Hard to estimate your equity but coupled with some FE you're in a good spot to just 3bet the flop to like $20 and shove the turn a lot.

    Hand 2 is why HU play is high variance, I call here. I wouldn't think he would just over-bet shove a ten here so I'm weighting it towards draws/air especially with previous history.

    I pretty much agree with all of this.

    Anybody else?
