sucks is not a read that you can make decisions off of.

dip I generally just raise pot there (or 4x+1) even if he is calling a lot. I'd just call the 3bet unless I've seen him do this some crap. If he's doing this with KQs and 77 ish then I'm not sure pushing is great. You could make it ~$9 i think.

oh, ok. i guess you mean my 1st raise. yeah, it's a little large, but nl25ers call so much, i like to get more value from my good hands, also a little more fe.

[DevinLake]

I didn't realize sb was all in, I'd 4-bet here to isolate. I'd probably just shove, cause a 4-bet is going to be 1/3rd of your stack anyway.

yeah i misread the hh and thought the loose idiot was the OR oh well. still i like playi8gn conservatively and just call the 3bet. I've been nitting it up like 16/14 and have been owning 25 the last few days.

Is a call on the river crazy given the missed draws? any other comments welcome as well

fold to the flop raise, unless you know your opponent does weird stuff.


also, fold the river. i don't like it, as there are hands like Jx and other, better stuff, that might play like that.

[ChrisV]

Easy fold to flop raise. That said, I'd call the river bet as his line makes no sense. My guess is he had some kind of combo draw on the flop and missed.
