Two 2-4 hands I liked a lot.

[tom10167]

Live homegame, reasonably fishy, but both hands are against the two toughest players in the game.

First one
A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in BB
CO open limps(solid player)
SB calls
I raise both call
A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I bet CO calls SB folds
turn is an 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I bet CO calls
river is a T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I think and check, he bets I raise he calls.

I went for a CR on the river because I have an awesome table image and nobody gives me credit for anything.

2nd hand
two others limps and I limp
K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in CO, SB raises and it's 4 of us to flop
K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
everyone checks I bet SB calls oldtimer calls
turn is a 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (it might have been off suit not entirely sure)
SB bets out, oldtimer calls, I raise planning to fold to a 3bet, SB calls oldtimer calls
river is a 3 SB bets again oldtimer folds and I call

Raise river hand 2. A23x is certainly calling one more here. How can we really give him KK, QQ or 55 when we hold a 5 and a K? If he had the set he would reraise the turn if he was "tough". Easy raise to punish trips.

Yeah, that bothered me, I'm not an excellent hand reader in this game and I've seen that case card in my hand and on the board for someone's higher set more than a few times, coupled with my limited LO8 experience makes me leary of it more than I probably should be, you make a good point. He had AA and I think his other card was a 3.

Thanks.
