<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $1200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ??? </font>



this one is only weird as there has just been some convo between us on the other table about his identity, so he knows i think he may be samo if that changes anything... have been cbetting a lot so he may also suspect pot control etc here.

re: the first hand, do you think samo is ever valueraising a worse hand? cause i dont

edit: I don't disagree that its a shove tho.

Re: 2 hands vs punketty, 10/20 Stars
 

if this is the first time you 3 bet, i lean towards folding hand #1.

hand #2 is close either way

Re: 2 hands vs punketty, 10/20 Stars
 

id call 1 fold 2

fwiw we discussed hand 1 afterwards and he thought it was pretty close...

Re: 2 hands vs punketty, 10/20 Stars
 

1. push
2. call

Re: 2 hands vs punketty, 10/20 Stars
 

push in hand one, he's got a draw here a lot.

hand two is pretty classic "you can't have that strong of a made hand" but i'd still probably fold

Re: 2 hands vs punketty, 10/20 Stars
 

Why can't he have anything big in Hand 2?

Re: 2 hands vs punketty, 10/20 Stars
 

push 1 as most of his range here is semibluffs (i think?), and fold 2, he's taking you to valuetown. the board being that drawy doesnt help, but if he was betting just to fold out missed draws he wouldnt have to bet so big.
