25NL - 6 MAX: set vs possible straight ....

yeedog · #1 10-21-2006, 04:27 AM

Can I get some opinions on how you guys may play these hands?

hand #1:

Villian is fairly loose playing about 45% of his hands and calling raises quite easily. He isn't very aggressive at all with the min raise being his strongest weapon. He likes to chase his draws often....

Yes i screwed up my 3 bet on the flop. I wanted to raise 10, but put in 10 in the box instead of 15. So it now makes my turn bet a little harder as his stack is about the size of the pot.

Is an All-in on the turn an option? Can I really put him on the exact hand of QJ or maybe even worst QJ hearts thus needing a fold?

Hero???

Hand #2 - this was 5 hands after the above hand....

Villian is loose and passive. He doesn't really play back unless he has something good. He has called flop bets and folded on the turn many many times so I figured it was worth to fire out twice.

Do I really want to gamble on the river? I figure it is All in or nothing for me at this point but i could be wrong. Villian only has a pot sized stack left....

I will say that i got a bad feeling about the hand after the call on the turn. My gut was saying that i'm beat and to just check/fold...
