-I dont think any ace will fold, and a check is almost like an autobet from villan with any hand. Eck, I guess check/fold?

I usually make slightly larger 3bets oop fwiw.
Hand 1 I c/f

I like hand 2, betting the turn is obv standard but if he thinks you're fos theres nothing wrong with giving him a little rope.

MatthewRyan · #3 12-26-2006, 08:22 PM

both look alright

"Villan is same as above, 26/20 he probally thinks I 3bet him way to much."

Then raise more than $17. Take him to $35 if you think he thinks you 3-bet too much.

both of these hands are ok, but i would rather check/fold hand one, especially if what you say about the turn is true.

turn check in hand 1 is good

This is not right. a raise to 35 is an overbet, if you get called you're either dominated or racing. It also sets up a push back from villain with hands you're racing. Furthermore, it makes the pot awkwardly big. Whar r u gonna do if a lone K or Q flops after his call?

Jay Riall · #7 12-26-2006, 08:58 PM

I like both. I don't mind check/folding the flop on the first hand though. Seems close.

Kilillan · #8 12-26-2006, 09:07 PM

I think 38 is too much for a c-bet in a reraised pot

ViciousPuma · #9 12-26-2006, 09:09 PM

First hand: i get stuck in this spot far too often....c/f
2nd hand i like in order to extract value from 2nd best hands.
