hand 1 - why donk the flop? if I did and he raised, I would just check/call the turn and then bet the river.

hand 2 - i have no idea why people play the flop like you did here. on the river, are you hoping he folds a pair??? surely that isn't a value bet.

Do You generally 3bet in BB if you suspect steal?
Not sure what you mean by spew?

I have always trouble to decide what to do in missed flop. So bet this time, check/fold would be to weak? What's the difference in turn or river bet in this hand? Why wait to river?

hand2
Yes I know I played it badly just couldn't for some reason fold those cards [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Always, if I think my hand is significantly better than most of SB's raising range. You must make him pay when he tries to steal from you with an inferior hand or you allow him a big advantage.

[/ QUOTE ]
To flow or gush forth. In poker: to spend a lot of chips when we are likely behind and/or it is not warrented by our holding in relation to the board and the other players holdings.

To get him fold and to see if he likes his hand. Plan was to check/fold blank turn if raised on flop.
