Which ones did I win? 4 x $400NL hands

[Dan Bitel]

Not sure if I should post this in SSNL or MSNL, but decided to post it here and see how it goes. These are 4 hands I played in teh last few days. Some I won, Some I lost. I want you to tell me what ones I won and why. And also tell me what lines you like, and how I could/should play them differently.

Hand 2:

Villain here is CeroAngelo. Not really seen too much of him, so don't know if he's a reg or not. His stats are 28/17/3 and again, not really much history. I thin maybe 1 or 2 3bets as you'd expect, but pretty standard stuff

Hand 1 - Win against an Axd hand, there's so many draws and none of them hit, I'd be inclined to say you won.

Hand 2 - Lose to AT or 44, I don't think you're losing to a better ace, but AT plays this the same way.

Hand 3 - Lose to JT (possibly hearts?), difference between this and the other hand you posted about him is that this time he is leading river.. kinda scary for a station.


Hand 4 - Win against some random bluff or split against a smaller ace. I dunno, seems pretty standard.

[tannenj]

1. you won. he'd 3bet pre with AK. KQ is possible i guess. he'd raise flop with a set or two pair.

2. you won. again, AQ and AK reraise pre. AT and 44 are possible, meh.

3. you lost. he rivered a flush or a straight.

4. you lost. guys like this can show up with a better ace here.

[True]

might lose, definitely lose, probably lose but might win, probably lose but might win.

[Panthro]

1) won, picked off a bluff from diamonds(he'd probably raise the flop?) or some random trash.

2) you won, sik call.

3) lost. Played fine. Cooler. Although if he's a fish, AK/KQ is a definate possiblilty.

4) you lost. I call turn and fold river FWIW.

[Novles]

I think it's more important to say why the call is good in each hand, so that's what I'll try to do.

Hand 1: blind battle, huge range, missed draws, I'd expect a small vb with a king when all the draws missed, etc. I like the line, I'd bet a bet more on the flop, but that's because I'll bet closer to the $26-$28 with everything in this spot. I expect to be good around 50%, so obv the call is good.

Hand 2: hmm tougher, could go either way, but looks like you're only losing to AQ/AT, maybe 44. Have you seen him overbet before? Flip a coin if not.

Hand 3: His range is soo huge, you can't fold, but I'd raise more on the flop since we are multiway, we are slightly deeper than 100bb, and fish has already shown that he'll b/c the flop.

Hand 4: I'd expect to be good not much more than 1 out of 4 at most, so call if you feel like calling, fold if you feel like folding, I think it's close either way. Line looks good.

i enjoy the just calling down some of the hands, giving them the opportunity to bluff. I think hand 1 we picked off a bluff
