hand 1 i think turn c/r sucks. much rather prefer c/c turn c/c or c/f river, his hand range is like bluffs/sets so why raisE?

hand 2 i think ur just burning money on the turn. Hes too passive.

[kewl_cph]

In both hands, the turn pairs the board, making sets less likely. Should this affect the ranges by the turn?

[Womble]

After the flop raise you have to slow down in #1. He either has a weaker A or your crushed.

There are no draws on the flop in #2

Plus I think ive been leniant with his range there since he is passive. Thats the ABSOLUTE best case. He may not do this with AJ and maybe AQ. So a flop fold may not be bad

Easy tun fold though

what do people think about 3betting flop in hand 1 to 50? also as played just call the turn and fold to a river bet.

I wouldn't, unless I had a read that villian overvalues weak aces, or doesn't fold. His flop min-raise represents at least an ace, we probably don't get too much value from weaker aces by 3 betting. However, if he is bluffing we get more.

OP, the first hand is fine up until the turn. The c/r is a bit spewy IMO without more of a read. The only hand I think he can call with that we beat is a stubborn AQ (or maybe AJ) if he is bad. I would prefer a c/c on the turn and a b/f on the river.

Hand 2) is probably a fold on the turn. You don't have too many hands on the guy, but he is just so damn passive.

[kewl_cph]

In hand 1, his turn bet didn't make sense to me. We're 127 BBs deep and he's not trying to build a big enough pot to get all-in on the river? Doesn't look like a strong hand to me...


In hand 2 the turn overpush looked strange to me. If he just filled up, why is he trying to blow me out of the pot?

Anyways, both villians showed up with AQ.

i like both of those lines very much.
