Hand 1: This is a set 60% of the time, a flush draw 10% of the time, and two pair 30% of the time, imo.
Hand 2: 3-bet flop. Push turn. |

Re: tough spots: easy folds or instacalls?
Hand 1 is a fold. I'm learning, although slowly, that minraises of c-bets mean, "I can beat ace-high!" Shoving against c-bets means, "I don't care what you have. I win."
Hand 2--please stop playing sets like a calling station. Honestly, the flop call is fine. It's a dry board, and we'll get more money this way. On the turn, though, we need to start assuming he has an ace. Push. |

hand 1: easy fold without lots of info on opponent.... for example, i know he open limps ak and kq--- he is shove happy
hand 2: c/r turn or bet it harder..... |

1. Difficult to fold it in the middle of the hand, but yeah, you're likely beat. Unless you've seen him shove marginal hands like this -- say, AK or KQ -- this would be a very bad call.
2. Plz raise turn. Please shove over him on river. |

Re: tough spots: easy folds or instacalls?
BTW--you did not raise NEARLY enough PF.
Remember, 4BB+1BB for every limper. 4 limpers=8BB=$4.00. Plus, if you're in the blinds, I like to add an additional 2BB just because we're going to be so OOP for the rest of the hand. I make it 5 to go preflop. |

Adding in a whopping 2 BB just because you're in the blinds = not very wise.

My BIGGEST pet peeve with this place lately is that there's rarely an explanation for sweeping generalizations, and nobody learns a damn thing. Why wouldn't it be a good idea to reduce implied odds when we'll be OOP for the rest of the hand? Seems extremely logical. |
