some Stars .50 NL full ring hands

[34TheTruth34]

I've been clearing all my stacked Stars bonuses from last year by playing .25/.50 NL full ring. I had meant to transfer in, got lazy, no Neteller, blah blah blah, so now I'm stuck on this site grinding micro limits until i can get a transfer. At any rate, here are some hands I wasn't sure about. I'd like to get your thoughts:


hand one:

2 limpers and I raise to $3 on the button with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB calls, no stats or reads, he's only got $20 left in front of him (don't know if he bought in full or not). UTG calls. Only 20 or so hands on him, but he's played 20/0/.5 so far, so seems kinda loose passive I guess. LP calls. 4 way action, $12 pot.

Flop Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB insta shoves, UTG instacalls, LP folds. UTG has $18 in front after the call. What do you put them on? Anyway, I think for a second or two and push all in.


I'll reply to this thread with hand two...

Meh. Too much money in the pot. Shove it in and pray.

hand two:

6 handed game, UTG folds and I raise next in to $2 with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Folded to BB with a full stack who reraise me, but only to $5. I think for a second and make the proverbial dubious call. I would definitely fold to a normal-sized reraise here, especially from this player, who seemed a little weak tight.

Flop 9 5 4 rainbow (no clubs).

He checks, I bet $6 into a $10.25 pot and he calls.

Turn 4 (two spades now).

He checks.

What do you put him on and how do you play it?
