Hand 1: The looser the Villian is the more I lean towards a call.

Hand 2: Perfect

- JA

Hand 1- i think i would fold here pf, you are only getting value from folds, and i dont think that you are getting enough value from just the folds. If anyone calls you pf i dont see a real good line for you to take as a c-bet will be too large for my blood most of the time

Hand 2- Standard, nh

I will get hand 2 out of the way...agree.

Hand 1 is a little more interesting and, as usual, depends on the reads. If they have tightened up and are folding to strength, you may have a decent amount of FE, and if you are called, there is still a chance that you have the best hand (a race). A reraise is the one play that makes this a very tough decision. The only concern I have with this play is that if the table has been fighting back, or even calling often, you then have to rely on the implied odds of the situation as...at best...you are probably in a race. I dont' think the chip stacks justify the chasing of a set.

I guess it comes down to reads...if you think you have large FE, I like the play, if you don't I probably just fold.

The line by hero in hand 1 is horrible. I fold preflop, but once you bet out 450 you absolutely have to call the all in.

Hand 2 is a very easy fold.

[BHokie1]

Hand 1 if I'm going for a steal I'd raise 400 PF, but normally I'd fold

Hand 2 - I'd call the button push, but not both button and sb AJo does not play that well against 2 players, even if sb is isolating lite against a wide range from the button.

Hand 1 if your raising and folding to a shove from the short stack you should be open folding.
