how do you guys feel about this call?
my reasons;
first off i usually fold this here, but i elected to call this time. no particular reason just wanted to see a flop. ok to the hand... i eliminated any posible four from villian's hand. On the turn i felt that the min R was weak so i raised it, Villian just Called. this led me to believe my sevens were good because i felt that most hands that beat me, either raise or fold here. a big assumption i know, but that was my feeling at the time and i'm learning to trust my instincts.


2nd hand....

My thinking at the time was that villian could have me out kicked or beaten with an overpair 99 or 10 10 , but in reveiwing this hand i think it is more likely that he was chasing, maybe the nut flush. Do you guys call this or fold?

3rd hand...

Call or fold? i am not sure what the correct play is here. i will have to buy sng power tools for the new year. Can somebody run the numbers on this for me?
there is no sb.

Hand 1
I flat call the turn. I kno i dont play the turn aggro enough so if this is really wrong, please correct me. Trik! HELP!

Hand 2
I dont bet the turn here. Again, this may be a leak, but for now im banking on the fact that the 2 didnt help him, so betting here wont accomplish much.

Hand 3
He should be pushing so many hands here
I call.

Hand 1 – If you think your 7’s were good, why does the 5 make a difference to your thinking? Do you think Opp could hold A3 here?

Hand 2 – Opp can’t have u outkicked if he holds another 8, since you split on a FH (2’s full of 8’s). 99 and TT have potential I guess, but wouldn’t they raise from the button in a situation like this?

Hand 3 – There is no SB right? So you are being asked to call off 310 to win 910 …… a little under 3:1? I think this is pretty automatic and just hope that Opp doesn’t hold a bigger pp than your Jack.
