Comments? Turn call ok?

Hand 1, I just make it 400 and push any flop, pretty much. Or flat call and c/f a miss, c/r a hit.

Hand 2, standard. I may push any river, but I certainly push this perfect card...

Why did you 4-bet PF in hand 1?

Why not?

I have a nice hand. Taking it down preflop wouldn't be too bad either.

[Triumph36]

Because you only get called by hands that crush you or are flipping coins with you? You're risking most of your stack to win $150 - if you're committed to shoving any flop.

It depends on how loose HJ and CO are, obviously, but in general I don't like 4 betting here.

Hand 1 of course you shove, I would usually c/f though on the non-FD flop.
Hand 2 is ok, again shove on river, I often follow through and fire the turn though.

[/ QUOTE ] What are you talking about? I think a bluff shove on a blank river would be awful.

Triumph I don't see whats wrong with 4-betting AK. Do you only 4-bet with big pairs/air?

Hand 1 - Unless i know CO's reraising range is wide, i like the flat call plan a lot better.

[TheWorstPlayer]

it's HJ/CO at 5/10 6m. you can expect ranges to be at least somewhat wide here.

and bluff shoving the river in hand 2 is not terrible at all, depending on many things.

Maybe I don't 4 bet anything?
