I bet so small in this last hand for pot control, wanted to keep it small cause he could have AT+.

Raise flop hand 1 and get it in. Bet more on turn hand 2 to charge draws/get value from weaker hands.

Raise the first flop to about $5... There is a flush and a straightdraw and you have an overpair.

The second one you could check turn for pot control with just one pair, but you're OOP and there are draws, so I like. I'd bet a bit more on the river. If he's calling $2 he's probably also calling $3.

Yes, but we are already pricing out draws (as long as we don't get crazy when a club comes off) and we don't want to scare away weaker hands...

onz3145 · #6 08-02-2007, 02:28 PM

any weaker ace is calling 2-3, as is any draw at this level. Fwiw I think checking turn is rly bad here since its v unlikely youre beat and theres no reason to give free cards.

AZplaya · #7 08-02-2007, 02:31 PM

Hand 1 - raise the flop, if you decide to call and re-evaluate, then you gotta fold to the turn push.

Hand 2 - I don't hate this line, good pot control, got to a cheap showdown. Charging draws is important but so is controlling pot size with a marginal hand.

you guys really think that a 26 vpip guy calls a raise with Ax?

Well, hand one he showed AT, hand two villain had a horribly played AK.

Thanks for youre help!
