Do you think he's value pushing worse hands or bluffing?

this seems really traight forward, call 1 and fold 2

Hand #1: its a sucky situation, but given the odds your getting I'd call. I think if he really had a good hand he's just shove on the turn.

Hand #2: This is an easy fold.

I think both are folds and I think both are played well.

When is calling with A8 oop a good play?

its sweeted in the bb. A8 sweeted is teh nuts. i call hand 1 fold hand 2. i dont see how u can bet fold for 2k more in hand 1.

Hand 1: What was your thinking when you bet the turn? I can see him pushing with a worse 2 pair a lot so I think you have to call as you will be ahead of his range often enough. There's no way he's playing a set like this on that board. Call be wary of spades with a str8 draw.

Hand 2: Fold. Standard?

I honestly didn't look at preflop. I rarely do in threads by good players because they obviously have a reason for making a preflop call and aren't asking advice on it. I'd personally throw it away, but I don't have the image or postflop skill that B Buddy does. I'm pretty sure he thinks he can win with it post flop so I'm not going to tell him he can't.

obviously i have no idea. but i think in hand 1 u got a good chance that he is v pushing worse, as well as the fact I think a bluff is more likely there. hand 2 just seems like a fold.
