Same story tired of the monotony of LHE.


1st hand is sort of a general theory question. Do you bet your set on a non threatening flop. Does it look suspiciuos if you check.

Not quite sure about this one. Is the biggest mistake the pre flop call. Getting good odds with an ok multi way hand

Hand one I am always betting, yeah they probably fold but that's OK because most times I'll have whiffed this flop.

Hand 2, fold preflop, but once it comes back I'm calling. Edit, did not realize villain didn't have 100BB. Makes calling even worse

cant see the action in Hand 1, converter messed up. Remember to check your posts before you hit the submit button.

Hand 2: I think this is fine.

i agree.. i might raise hand 2 pf, but with all that action i'd call the raise after limping.

Hand 1 - check the flop or bet small...unless you fire out a c-bet 100% of the time, then your check will look suss. This is one of the reasons i like checking behind occasionally in position when i miss, for hands like these. it all depends on your action in previous hands

Hand 2 - i dont like the implied odds we're getting from this 1/2 stack

why raise hand 2 pf?
beavens
05-11-2006, 12:33 PM
because i love raising suited 1 gappers with decent position

is this really all that profitable? or are you just doing it to mix up your game and keep your opponents guessing

Hand 1 just bet the flop with your normal cb. Remember, by default most villains put you on AK. You need villain to have a good 2nd best to take his stack and it's doubtful a free card will help him.

Hand 2 - I hate suited one gappers in raised pots, but the way the action went, I can't really say that you played it bad.

when they hit, they hit hard, and i can take down the pot on the flop regardless of what the cards are the majority of the time with a cbet.

anyway, back to hand 1, you can rule out AA, KK, QQ, JJ(maybe). Therefore, there is no immediate danger to your monster hand going into the turn. I say let him see a free one hoping he hits his overcards or underset. I don't see the point of betting
