#1 usually bet, sometimes check

#2 usually just fold flop to his raise without history

1) I bet again

2)I would fold.

TheDivineRod · #4 06-19-2007, 07:45 PM

8's are the most probable card to come on the flop.

True fact.

1) Bet again unless history indicates otherwise.
2) Probably fold to the flop c/r.

in hand two as i did the equity calcs i realized i was in trouble against this player. if only i could implant pokerstove in my head.

hand #1 if you bet ~32 or so and the river is a spade...check fold? what if its eight of spades? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

shpanko · #7 06-19-2007, 08:02 PM

bet/fold in the first one, the second just fold to the flop raise.

dmesey · #8 06-19-2007, 08:02 PM

#1 you could check/call to induce a bluff or just bet out to chase the draws away.
#2 I think you played it well except u might be able to fold on the flop.

sublime · #9 06-19-2007, 08:21 PM

im surprised i don't see many more check to induce suggestions in hand #1. being ion over 50% of the hands his AF is fairly high....no? i mean anything more than 1 is high there....right?

You can definately get value from worse hands in 1 as well as charge draws.

With the second hand, you know that hes almost always betting again on the turn so I would usually just fold the flop.
