Top set vs AI on flush board
 

Vilain is 36/5/1 on 100 hands. He doesn't seem to be a good player but I haven't seen him spew his money around. What do you guys think? Is this a call or a fold? I used to call in these spots but after running really bad, I really need to fix my leaks.

Here, vilain is an unknown. Again, I wasn't sure if I should have called. Thanks

damn you run bad

1st hand i'm not so sure about, but i like how you played the 2nd hand

Re: Top set vs AI on flush board
 

Call turn in hand 1, 2pair, 1pair+nutFD, lower sets are all part of his range. Don't think a flush open pushes unless he's levelling u. Hand 2 is ok i guess.

Re: Top set vs AI on flush board
 

Btw, in hand 1, it is a blind battle but we don't have much history before that.

Re: Top set vs AI on flush board
 

hand 1 I call certainly. 2 is good.

Re: Top set vs AI on flush board
 

What's the difference between both hands really? Why do you fold hand 2 and not hand 1? Because of the min raise on turn?

Re: Top set vs AI on flush board
 

Get it in on both hands. You beat so much in his range. It's variance if they have the flush there.

Second hand I probably push turn because there ara lots of river cards that can kill the action if he has one of the hands you hope he has.
