Flop bets with 99 and TT

[Danh Bai]

Hand 1

After his re-raise I'm thinking he had middle pair, so would i have gotten the rest of his money by just smooth calling? I shoved because of the flush / str8 draw draws

Hand 2

What do you put this guy on? I was putting the button on AK/AQ, but what about the minraise donk? I didn't know what to put him on, but if he was trying to tell me he had a J, I wasn't buying it. 2 hearts, maybe, but this donk didn't even strike me as smart enough to semi-bluff. How would you play this?

Hand 1-well played

Hand 2-ill call the donk flop bet,and see what he does on the turn.the turn card is a bad one,which causes us to check,and evaluate his turn bet.these donks at 3.40 uses all kinds of shit betting.

1 fine

2 fold pre flop, call flop.

as played turn bet is really weird, what can he have called a flop raise with that you beat? If you think for some reason he was bluff calling, you now take the play away from him. If he wants to let you show down cheap take him up on it.

Hand 1 - I limp behind rather than raising and play for set value. As played it's fine - there are a LOT of cards you would not want to see on the turn. I am actually surprised opp folded here.

Hand 2 - fold preflop after the 3-bet, as played I agree with the others, call the flop bet and check the turn to see what he does rather than leading. I do not understand your bet sizing on the turn, what does your 1/4 pot bet achieve? If you are betting, you should just stick it AI.

hand 1 converter messed up, I thought BU limped but must have been UTG (?), limp seems good esp in context of hand 2, set or forget until you get some more hands under your belt.

hand 1 i limp behind with 99 raise AQ+1010+ as a default but that could change depending on what i know about UTG limper.
the flop is all good
hand 2- i fold pre since we are not closing the action. c/call flop...
don't like the turn... i would be c/folding here a lot although i can see my self getting value towned if he wants to continue to bet 100.

[Danh Bai]

I don't really get why you guys would fold TT preflop? Wouldn't you call a raise for set value not to mention if you're up against AK/AQ.

As it turned out, the guy had paired his three. I don't know why these donks can't let go of bottom pair, unreal...

[DetroitHusling101]

because we don't close the action...
utg might 4bet....
that's my reason at least.

Hand1: Fine
Hand2: I would call preflop but play it carefully, on the flop I would not reraise it, I would call and try to get to a cheap showdown
