FTP Fifty-Fifty- I should be insta-calling this, right?

[DrBakunin]

I played two hands before this, c-bet the first one down unimproved, and the second I went a little too far with AKo (cbetting flop into 2 people, calling on turn, folding river unimproved).

I assume flop is standard, Turn/River thoughts much appreciated. Villain hasn't played a hand yet looking back on the HH. How does that change things?

on turn im assuming you fold to shove

with the previous hands this is a triplefistpump snapcall and get berated by a slowplayed KQ

[hamnegger]

early stages id fold ace 9. im ok w the river check. bad side is a king may check behind if he isnt confident in kicker. a weaker 9 will get stacked whether we check or bet. the flush draw guy is interesting he might make a play. but at least you have sent a message too that has some value if ppl are paying attention. "just bc i check a river doeasn't mean i don't have the goodies". tell me he had 555 lol

Standard call.

I also don't really like playing A9 early and in that position, but it's not terrible for metagame reasons. Just realize that you gotta be able to get away from it.

I think I check turn, he's probably betting, and I might call a smallish bet if I have a read on the player.

River is a snap call. If you lost to a set HU so be it. 78 would have raised turn.

Yeah, instacall. I'm on the fold preflop bus too.

You got lucky after raising a raggy hand that should be mucked preflop. Now you have to turn off the chat feature for the next 15 minutes and then call. Try not to be too harsh on the next person that sucks out on you though.

I fold preflop..too early to be raising A9o w/ the exception of being on the button..As played I'm check/folding the turn to a decent sized bet..and yes i'm snap calling the river as played..

[DrBakunin]

Villain showed down KK, I woulda shut down/folded turn if I'd been paying attention though, I didn't realize he hadn't bet/called a hand since the thing started.

I got owned like Matt Damon [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

check turn, river is a snap call

[starchyy]

Insta-call here on the river, he likely has KQ or something of that kind. There are 2 things I don't really like here. Firstly, I don't really like the raise pre-flop. Still very early in the tourney and you aren't in great position holding a marginal hand. Second, I don't like the bet on the turn. Check the turn here and see what happens.
