Default Re: A couple semi-thin river VBs

Quick post didn't read carefully but..

1st hand:
A8,A6 will raise flop or turn more often
A4, will raise turn or river more often
A2, river

AK,AQ will reraise preflop more often.

So it becomes, A3,A5,A7,A8,A9,AT,AJ(discounted as well as AQ/AK) v your AT for value or losing some of them to a check behind versus draws and their tendency to bluff. Sometimes he will have AX of hearts too.

In otherwords is he the type to defend his blind with any ace, or more often with a draw or suited aces. If he seems to be a defender I'd tag him with the first 1 at first, if not the second more so.

For both cases bet more on the turn, for the first bet the river, and for the later check.

2nd hand is fine.
