A straight on the flop - I folded it. ($5)

Ha. Maybe I was already on tilt from the previous bad beats and this was the result.

The first hand is not a snapcall for me. I might lay this down as well if villian is decent, but the overbet looks weird!

In the second hand I will most likely call. His range is not as tight, as some people might think and I you are ITM and should be using these +EV to gain chips. If he would have a hand which beats you I doubt he would overbet the flop. Draws and weak Aces or Kings are more likely imo.

First hand is so bad, that is a total instacall and in fact I am happy he openshoved because a lot of people will play top pair no diamond that way figuring they protect their hand.
2nd hand is actually close, depends on how the guy plays.

[SupaDupaStar]

Hand 1- I like the fold here, you do not have much invested and your preflop bet was more suited for heads-up action with those cards.
Hand 2- I think you played in cautious(not bad). I probably call given the fact that he has seen you fold preflop raising hands to scary flops. My read is that he views this flop as scary and you will fold to a big bet. Push Back.

[Slim Pickens]

Have idiots learned how to value-shove monsters to look weak? Last I checked they hadn't. Also, you're the big stack in both hands, which makes you SNAPCALL slightly more forcefully than you would if they had you covered.

[DannyOcean_]

I call both pretty easily. Villians who do this repeatedly do not usually have monsters every time. They have draws or weak hands that are scared.

Later, I got a do-over. Different game, different villain.

1. SOOOOOOOOOOOO obv draw. Instacall, or instacall faster.
2. Call. If he has 2p, why he just open shoving?

[drzen]

I'm unhappy about the second and possibly fold. I am loving the first so much I phone my mum to tell her that Jeezus sent me an idiot.
