Villain is a competent player. He check-raised the turn against me in the KJs hand.

We're you planning on calling the river if the A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] didn't come? That is the worst card that could come.

If it weren't for that card, I'd probably rather call the river since this is SB v BB, but with that card folding looks OK.

well this guy seems terrible. I'm not sure how much the river changes things unless he got silly with AK. it's definitely a river fold, I'm wondering about calling the turn. I suppose you are calling most rivers?

also blind war posts without reads are super tough because the ranges are so wide.

Hand 1:

I check that flop. I check it right behind. What does someone raise pf with and then check the flop? From this one hand, you can learn so much about the player. If he has a hand like AA or something, we know that he doesn't really understand previous street action, or is very good and considers you an over aggro re-re, but I don't think that's true.

Hand #2: My gut reaction was raise, but that's awful. You're not folding out the J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and he shouldn't donk a worse heart. That being said I would call here because this is an easy spot to get tricky.

1: I would fold to turn c/r.
2: What else can u do besides call?
