Hand 1: I want to get more money in on the turn. Betting into him looks less threatening than a checkraise all-in so that's what I'd do.

Hand 2: Again, my goal is to stack someone, and I think the easiest way is to just bet right out on the flop and take it from there. It pumps the pot in the least threatening way possible.

You know villain is aggressive and has "I don't believe you syndrome". The most money should be able to be made by betting.

[deaders]

Hand 2 bet bet bet.

Hand 1 bet turn, pot river.

[ajmargarine]

Is their some logic to your not shoveling more money in the middle with these hands?

[A S U]

No logic, new to NL. I'm a limidonk. Just looking for advice on how to play these hands better.

[testaaja]

I raise the turn in hand 1. because I don't want him to draw cheaply to his big club flush.

In hand 2 I bet out on turn, something like $3 and hope he raises and reraisseeee! Definitely bet out on turn.

[Bigmoney]

Its difficult to come by hands that break stacks. Just bet them hard.

[ajmargarine]

Lead the flop in Hand 1. You are the BB here so you can have 32 for all they know. It'll disguise your hand for when the flush does hit. As played, you can lead the turn, but that's pretty transparent. But hey, given flop line, what else you got? If I check there, I c/r and hope he don't believe me, giving me two chances (turn and river) to get more money in, instead of just the one more op that you had.

Hand 2 I just bet, bet, bet. They won't believe you anyways, cuz no one bets their flopped near-nuts at SSNL. They try to get tricky with them because other donks get aggro and pay them off sometimes. The good players pwn the slowplaying, poor players in these spots because they understand WA/WB and pot control.
