I hate AK (8-16 Ocean's 11)

[PokerJans]

Just some general situations from last night that I struggle with. Suits arent important in any of these hands.

1. Loser calls in EP, I raise, button calls, BB calls

QJ8 flop and its checks around to me. Bet?

2. Lady who seems only midly retarded raises, I three bet in MP and it clears around to her.

She check calls a Q72 flop and checks to me a 9 turn. Bet?


In general I feel like I either have the best hand or good equity in a lot of situations like this but sometimes it becomes a guessing game because many players at this level just call down aggression with even top pair. I struggle with knowing when to slow down basically because in situations like this I usually just keep on firing.

Thanks. Many more hands and questions to come in the future. I consider myself OK at limit but this game in Oceanside is like .50-1 online so I am kinda just jumping right into 8-16 this summer. BTW if anyone was there I was the angry lagtard in the 5 seat with the button down on.
