4 hands from 100nl session

Cpt.Spaulding · #1 03-20-2007, 05:21 PM

these 4 hands are from my most recent 100nl fr session:

in this hand the villian is 21/9/2.5 over 50 hands. i had recently stacked a guy with a set that i played with a call on the flop, and a 2.5X raise on the turn. With the draw on the board, i wanted to make my overbet look like i was trying to push him off his hand. Do you think this kind of bet is a good mix up or not?

***********

In this blind battle, the villian was 25/3/6.5 over 100 hands, and had been succesfully floating on me alot. How would your line differ (looking back i really dont like the minibet cr turn, but i was trying to show him i was strong, but keep the pot under control, which now looks like crap to me).

******

This hand, the villian is 20/10/1 over 25 hands. Over the last couple of months my main focus has been staying out of trouble with TPTK and overpairs. This fold may be standard, but i want to make sure im not being too tight, especially considering he was half stack. Any thought on my cr being too small? What about a 3-bet pf?

Hand 1. This bet is OK IMO - although I prefer to raise to about $28. He folds AK, AQ anyway and will usually call or reraise with a big pair - so you get a lot of money in with monster.

Hand 2. I bet/fold the river and think you are still often ahead with 2 pair. He can have AK, KQ here and you could fold the best hand getting nearly 3:1 odds.

Hand 3. I raise a little more on the flop - maybe $15. I fold to the 3bet.

Hand 4. As villain is so aggressive, I prefer to bet the river as you did. You could try check/call up to 1/2 pot, but this guy might push you off the best hand when you show weakness.
