Hand 1 I fold to the all in. He's loaded or your flipping.

Hand 2 I probably raise the flop to $110 or so, but calling isn't awful imo. As played fold turn.

Hand 3 Converter is messed up for me.

Hand 4 If you thought he 3 bet you with worse, then calling preflop is ok, so is your flop play, but I think raising all in is gross, just call.

Hand 5 No reads, I sometimes call and check raise all in on non Ace flop, even better if it looks a bit drawy. This could well be Aces though, so I'd call and look for set value.

Hand 6 I think flop check is good, I play it the same. As played call river. I think a small raise on the turn is ok though (like to $100). You may get him to check to you on a scary river card, and if he bets again you can assume you're beaten. Plus you protect your hand a little against draws, which his bet looks like.

Hand 7 Looks too aggro with JJ. I'd credit a BB 3 bet with a little more than you do. With no read I call and see a flop, or 4 bet and fold to a push.

PBJaxx · #8 11-30-2006, 02:01 AM

I am sorry, but I am not going to respond to all of the hands. Hand 4, though... What is the purpose of the bet? It can't be for value because no worse hand is calling here. If not for value, what are you protecting against, QK, an unlikely flush draw? You aren't folding any better hands out either, AK doesn't fold here, AJ doesn't fold, and JJ obv doesn't fold.

This is a WA/WB hand in a RR pot. Just call the turn.

hand 1
this is one of those spots where you can c/f and not feel too bad about it.

hand 2
hard to imagine that someone you describe this way is betting twice with a worse hand

hand 3
150BB+ deep you have to 4bet this

hand 4
maybe nutty enough to get a call from KK? i'm not really sure i get it, unless you're trying to set up a crazy play later?

hand 5
normally i auto4bet all bigpairs and AK when people make those lame 3bets but he's short enough that i'd just call

hand 6
valuetown - population: snakekilla888

hand 7
sure, he has 60BBs, whatever

Hand #1: OOP I like a call preflop with 99 but a reraise isn't bad with a specific read. When he calls your reraise hard to put him on a hand you are ahead of. He likely has a middle pair or AK, AQ. With his push he might likely be expecting a call since with the reraise he puts you on a stronger hand than 99. I think a fold here is pretty routine without a specific read. He has at least a flush draw and more than likely a flush draw and a pair higher than yours but even with 2 overs and flush draw you are an underdog and odds would be close on calling and obviously if he has overpair you are drawing dead. Combination of these two swings to a fold IMO.

Hand #2: He's isolating a limper on the button so I don't give him credit for having a better hand than 1010 so I would definitely reraise. You will have position in the hand and you are likely way ahead. His range could be pretty wide here and you should reraise to help make decisions easier later on in the hand. I would likely raise the flop to 80 or 100. I don't generally like min raising but the pot is already getting big and with such a dry flop he's got to be concerned with an overpair and will obviously dump anything else and you can safely fold to a rereraise. As you played it I would quite likely call the turn and fold to a substantial river bet.

Hand #3: People always want to get tricky here. You have to 4-bet here. Probably somewhere between 100-120 and take it from there. Smooth calling is a very strong looking move anyway and you give the first guy odds to fish for a set.

Hand #4: Hate this line. The default push. You are only getting called when you are beat and you aren't folding any better hands including AK IMO. I would call the turn bet and probably fold to a substantial river bet. He checked the flop on this board which means one of 2 things he missed or he hit. If he hit he has you killed and if he missed it is very unlikely he is going to pot the turn and then make a big river bluff with KK or QQ but a specific read would be helpful.

Hand #5: You absolutely must 4-bet here. You and MP are deep and you don't want him set-mining cheap here. He would call with any 2 here IMO after calling your initial raise. It is true that reraiser is short so I would make it like 90 probably.

Hand #6: This is a tough call. He would most likely rereraise with KK so you are pretty much only beat here by AK or AQ so I would most likely have to call it down though he might just check behind here on the river and the medium size of the bet begs to be called so I think it's a value bet but I'd have to call.

Hand #7: Seems like a good spot for an apparent loose push into small stack. Some stats would be helpful of course but without any I'm getting it in preflop and a push might get you a call from 1010 or 99 thinking you have AK with the push and not a big pocket pair and you probably still get a fold from AQ which is nice result though a rereraise likely gets a fold from AQ anyway.
