Hand 1:

Villian this hand was an unknown, i just sat a couple of hands ago and didn´t do anything fancy yet obv. How do you play it ? Is betting the flop a must or do you check those once in a while too ? Thought i disguise my hand well and get tripps to commit if i hit. Also comments on how you react to the AI would be nice [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Hand 2

Villian was a somewhat loose donk, capable of making some retarded bluffs postflop but very loose passive preflop. 41/3/3 or smth alike. I didn´t know much about his postflop play when this hand came up though, played him HU later.
So basicaly i think his handrange is KK here and nothing else because i did not reraise light at all at this table, just did it once with aces. This fold to nitty ?

Hand 3

Table was a total donkfest, no one folds to cbets ever and retarded minbet wars are going on in every 2nd hand. Thats why i thought it would be a good idea to come in cheap with AQ. Once i hit i only thought about getting $$ in the pot, and villian was pretty aggresive too, so checking the turn would let him commit with a weaker Q or whatever 2cards he got. Good ? reraise pre anyway ?

Hand 1:
FlopI bet the flop. Why raise with this, hit the flop, then check? Build the pot to take his stack if you hit or just take it down right there.

Turn Call quickly. This is what you were looking for. His stack when you have a monster.

Praetor · #3 12-15-2006, 06:37 AM

#1 I dont mind the flop check sometimes, snap call turn

#2 Shove preflop

#3 shove turn yourself if you get there like that

morphball · #4 12-15-2006, 06:37 AM

Hand 1 - call.

Hand 2 - villian has told you he's not folding, all-in preflop. Unless you know this guy is uber-nitty, I think I call the flop too.

Hand 3 - Raise preflop AQo is not a multi-way hand, given how you got to the flop and turn, hnd seems well played.

Kurtiii · #5 12-15-2006, 06:38 AM

reason for checking is stated in op, also i had no clue how he plays, im in position and can make a delayed cbet, my hand is very well hidden if i make it. I check behind quite a bit against unknowns and callingstations since delayed cbets work pretty well for me in those spots, maybe i overdo it though [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Also stop sitting to my left please.

yundmi · #6 12-15-2006, 07:06 AM

no offense but ur way too nitty and it's hurting ur game a lot.

hand 1: bet flop. as played, instacall

hand 2: wtf i don't care that he raises 4% of his hands, he can easily have AK or QQ or anything because honestly, you underrepped your hand and he could be betting a lot of hands. folding is SO BAD.

hand 3: raise preflop

Kurtiii · #7 12-15-2006, 07:24 AM

none tken yundmi, wouldnt post the hands if i thought i played them perfectly [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
Hand 2 i think a shove pre is the best play as others allready said :/. Postflop just sucks and i don´t think the fold is that bad given i had him marked as loose/passive when i played the hand.
Hand 3 yea, AQ is not the hand to slowplay preflop, i just gave up my aggresion at this table since every pot is 3-4 way and ends with a showdown [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
