Two hands against Poker Academy Pro

[kitaristi0]

Thinking about trying out limit for a change of pace so I was fooling around with Poker Academy Pro tonight and a few spots came up where I wasn't sure what to do. I figure since I was playing $0.5/$1 6-max this forum is appropriate but if not feel free to move to the "imaginary hands against a play money computer program" forum.

Hand 1

Villain was LAG and bad. Made some questionable calldowns.

Hero is in the SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

2 folds, <font color="red">Villain raises</font>, 1 fold, <font color="red">Hero 3-bets</font>, 1 fold, Villain calls.

FLOP: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (7 SB)
<font color="red">Hero bets</font>, Villain calls.

TURN: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4.5 BB)
Hero ?

Bet again?

Hand 2

Villain was on the tight side over 50 or so hands.

Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

1 fold, <font color="red">Hero raises</font>, <font color="red">Villain 3-bets</font>, 3 folds, Hero calls.

Hero checks, <font color="red">Villain bets</font>, Hero calls.

Hero checks, <font color="red">Villain bets</font>, Hero calls.

RIVER: J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Should I get more bets in at some point?

Hand 1, bet until raised. Call down any board vs. LAG. If he's LAG and bad, you would have heard something from him on the flop if it hit him at all. Unless he has exactly 99 or JT, and he probably caps 99 pf.

Hand 2, anyone else cap PF AQo OOP vs. LAG? As played C/R flop or turn. Probably the flop, because many lags will call the C/R and then raise your turn lead, and you are crushing his range at this point.

Villain in hand 2 was more on the tight side, not a LAG.

I'm new to limit and am still attempting to wrap my head around the relative values of certain hands on certain boards so excuse me if these questions are basic/ignorant. With the JJ and two overs is there really three streets of value to be had here? Coming from a NL mindset I'm inclined to look for maybe one street of value, never even consider three.

I would also appreciate some more input on hand 2.

sure that AQ calldown might look weak but actually i like it if i have no special read other then he played tight for over 50 hands...and that can mean so much that its almost the best thing to play wa/wb here imho.

[DeathDonkey]

Hand 1 against a LAG I generally check/call the turn and let him bluff if he is going to bluff the many draws out there. Then I make a decision on the river but often check/call again if he's proven himself capable of bluffs.

Hand 2 I think you played well and should maybe even fold the river. Obviously had you made a flush the plan would change but by the river the board is just terrible for you.

hand no.1 I probably c/c turn and c/f or c/c river based on opponent and my read.

hadn no. 2 I think is an easy c/r on the flop. Lead the turn and call down if raised. I would never consider folding this river the way you played it (maybe that's a leak ).
