Five Hands I Had Trouble With

Must Warn Others · #1 05-26-2007, 04:54 AM

1.) Villain is a multitabling regular, but not especially good. I'm not using a hud but he is probably 20-30vp pf and raises all of his holdings first to act. No other reads.

2.) No Reads. Villain used a fair amount of timebank before he shoved river. What is the optimal play on each street?

3.) No reads, but he took some time before calling flop. I kind of felt like he had a set and was going for an overcall, but that might be seeing monsters underneath the bed.

5.) Villain is nationz once again. I checked behind flop because he played extremely straightforward to my c-bets. I wanted to get some value out of my hand. However, by the river I am fairly certain that my hand is not good and think that it is not a bad spot to turn it into a bluff. Bad spot?
