Hero???


Early in tournament so very few reads. Villan raised with AK in a previous hand, don't think he'd limp/call with JJ+

Do I put him on a straight? Trips? Overpair? AQ? - Wanting to get rid of a draw, or put him on a Straight/Flush draw?

Do I call thinking he is likely to be ahead and wait for a later time to stick them all in? Or think he's trying to steal a scary looking flop?


Results in white below:

1st one, fold, but re-raise more pre when it comes back around to you. He's just 3-bet you, he likes his hand.

2nd one, whats your question?

Oh, and dont post results

obv had JJ in the first hand or QQ cuz of the re-min raise. I go all in to his re-min though. Too aggro?

2nd hand is standard, get it in with the best.
