Few hands from a $24+2

[timmay28]

MP3 raises a fair amount of hands, and SB is very loose

-----------------------


CO raises often, and I figured that Button called with a very wide range. Here, I decide to make the isolation play for pot odds. Good or bad? And if it works, what do you typically say to the inevitable "OMG WTF YOU DONK WTF WAS THAT"

On the river I decide to make a blocking bet. The SB and CO are passive.

[b-komplex]

Hand 1 is good.

Hand 2 is really close, too lazy to do math and that but I think I like it.

Hand 3 that river bet makes no sense.

Hand 4 meh I think you can raise and fold to a reraise.

[Pants Optional]

hand 1 im not a big fan of, but it may not be too bad

hand 2 is too risky for my liking

hand 3, dont bet please, your hand has showdown value, and you dont need to make a blocking bet against passive players

hand 4 looks ok

kom, you cant raise/fold with only 11 bb
