WTF? No reads but i didnt think he would limp in w/ AJ like tthat, then proceed to lose all it's value w/ that push.

Line check here, i didnt want to reraise the flop in case he reraised/pushed w/ Qx, or build a pot if he decided to get tricky w/ Qx and makes moves on later streets. If it was a flush draw block bet then so be it. I then reraised the turn hoping to god that he did hit the Q and put me on AK, but in hind sight maybe i should have min reraised or smooth called hoping another heart came and have him value bet the river OOP...thoughts?

uppin for atleast 1 comment, please

first hand is either a diamond draw or set. i would fold or call depending on style a greg raymer type shoyuld call so he can get chips so he can drop his hammer style. lane flack is another type. a hellmuth or cloutier should fold they are patient and great at trapping opponents at opportune times. which are you? 3rd hand is a call or fold not an all in

[themobfather]

I disagree. I would push hand 3.

[JustChillin]

what's villian's range here then? if hes not doing this w/ A10-AQ this hand doesnt have much value

[AAmucked]

Some people might do this with JJ, but I think he's an idiot if he's limping a monster here in MP2 after a limper.

Hand 2 with the aces, i always reraise this flop to see where I am, and to charge for the flush draw. The pot was 405, and your opponent bet 30...that's weird. Probably trying to draw a cheap turn card. I raise 30 up to 200. Then maybe check the turn to induce a river bluff, and to hope he hits his flush draw in the river.

Hand 1...I think you made a good fold.

Hand 3- very tough as well. I definetly thinks its possible for someone to be limping a monster there with KK or AA, but something like 66-JJ is much more likely. It's a coinflip with 300 exra chips in the pot.
