    1) Against a 6/6/2.2 ? Yeah I'd fold. But if you play it, for god's sake please reraise somewhere to see where u r at. But you are way beat here.
    2) Both are ok, but i try to suck more people with hands like these with the whole table and their mothers seeing the flop.
    3) Bet $10.
    4) Pretty much OK i think. Not overly happy about it.
    5) Hmm yeah get the money in. c/r turn, lead river, any which way. I am felting this.

    1) Your call pre sucks horribly. Fold this every time.
    2) You should do whatever you can to get as much money in the pot as fast as you can.
    3) I prefer rope-a-dope, it's not as if we're gonna give a shit if the river clubs; we're still putting all the money in.
    4) Ach, flip a coin?
    5) Meh.. Can't see what else you can do really.

    Hate this advice. Reraising somewhere to find out where you're at folds everything you beat.

    1) 3bet or fold preflop. Fold's probably better here. As played fold turn. As played I lead river, but I never get there.
    2) You have the nuts, so raise.
    3) Yea whatever, make a committing bet or shove, don't think it really matters. Make it more than 8 though.
    4) Seems alright.
    5) Lead turn plz. k thx.

    Yes you are right, why reraise to $4.5 on the flop when you get the exact same information by calling $12.5 on three streets.

    I hate C/R flop too. Not that calling down 3 streets here is good either :P

    I never advocated calling off - I just said that reraising to find out where you're at is burning money. Having said that, burning money is favourable compared to strapping wads of your savings to a timebomb, unfortunately neither is optimal if you're in the business of accumulation.

    1. raise/fold, I think others got this.
    2. first, 3-bet pre, then raise the flop... the amount depends on a few factors, including your image. After the 3.75, we have like $20 behind in an $11 pot. So just find a way to get it in now. If you reraise to like 9, we still have a little money behind and can check back the turn if we're worried.
    3. I reraise this sometimes pre, the guy is laggy and we have position. After the flop the reraise is almost a min-raise, we can get more in here. After that the turn and river are easier.
    4. I like it, but my raises pre and on the flop are slightly larger.
    5. This is awfully passive. I don't want get into check/call mode here until the river club. We're not super-strong, so trapping is a tough sell for me.

    Punctuation is your friend.

    we wont be c/ring a 6/6/2 all that often. It's not worth it to do anything to 'mix up your play' at 25nl, so if we c/r, its for value or because of FE. I don't think this kind of player is betting air here, so it's not worth it to try to c/r anything here.

    Thanks for the input guys, was much appreciated. I think I played them all ok aprt from 1 and possibly 5.

    1. They had AK
    2. I called and shipped a diamond turn, villain had KK
    3. I roped the dope and they shoved with KT
    4. I called and was vs flush draw that held up, I think his range is more along FD than 9x or beter
    5. They had 55 LOL. I shouda c/r turn , probably got most value though IMO as it turned out.

    Hand one is a fold preflop. On the flop it's a call, dump on the turn. A nitty player isn't double barreling.

    Hand two I'm raising this flop every time. The thing about calling is that you are going to have way less equity on the turn if unimproved and your probably not going to get much money in the pot if you make your draw on the turn anyway.

    Hand 3 given his stack size any bet over half the pot is basically a shove, I have no idea what the optimal bet is here.

    hand 4 I don't like putting all the money in the pot, but I wouldn't fold to a bet either. I think the only hand you beat that calls here is the A 5 of diamonds, and they have a ton of equity against you anyway.


    Hand 5 is good I think. You can raise the turn, but all you can do on the river is call.

    6) Man, I'm so torn between flatting the turn and shoving. I'd hate to see a club on riv but I'd hate to get shown the "inevitable" flush on the turn.
    7) At first I was like LOL FISTPUMP WTF but then I saw stacks.. I see this play a lot with 2pr, but I think he's got bullshit enough for you to call.
