thoughts on these hands
 

hand 1 is from the stars 50 rebuy, villain has been opening a lot of pots but not getting too crazy postflop. i popped him once with qq and he called and check/folded the flop.

i asked 3 good players about this hand and got 3 different answers so i thought it would be a good one to post.

hands 2-4 are all early in the full tilt 50 freezeout, no reads.

1. call
2. raise 1050
3. allin
4. i probably just call the river; i think you could get JT to fold to the raise, but AJ wont.

Agree with all, you aren't gonna get called by a whole lot on the river of #4 that you beat, of course everything that beats you is calling.

#1 I think anything but calling is pretty bad personally

#2 gotta re-raise

#3 This is a spot where if you're behind oh well, but you have to get the chips in now if you're ahead so shove because turns can bring all sorts of bad things

Re: thoughts on these hands
 

1)hand one u should fold preflop. too many players to act behind u and do a squeeze
2)probably just call as you'll have position. squeeze isn't bad here either but I don't know how I'd react to a rejam from original raiser so calling seems like best option
3)I can't see folding here. This guy called in small blind and while it's conceivable he did so w/ something like a,4 or 4,5s most times he has a 7 here or a pocket pair lower than you. If he had a 4, he'd be more likely to slow play and allow u to catch up. i'd rejam here and be happy about it.
4)fold preflop. I don't understand ur river raise at all. was that for value? definitely just call. Ur only beating a pair of nines here and he would probably fold it to ur raise there.

Re: thoughts on these hands
 

ur not worried about rejam w/ hand 2? would u call it?

Re: thoughts on these hands
 

1 flat
2 allin
3 allin
4 call

if any of the people that already put money into the pot jam i obv call. if someone cold 4 bet jams after all this action, i guess i could consider folding ... but still probably woudlnt.

4. Is river for value?

Re: thoughts on these hands
 

hand 4 is for value. if you check the bet sizing i made it 640 preflop and by the river he's only betting 480. doesn't it seem like he would bet more with Kx or QT? i was pretty sure he had a jack or 9 and if i can successfully narrow him down to that then i'm only behind one hand with JQ. is this a reach?
