Hand 1 - Villian is 23/16/5 after ~200 hands, he is a regular and seems to be a good thinking player. I am running fairly snug on this table, I'm sure he views me as tag. We don't have any significant history.

I actually don't mind hand 1.

Imrahil · #3 04-03-2007, 05:19 PM

I may fold the river in hand 2.

Casper05 · #4 04-03-2007, 05:21 PM

I think hand 1 and 2 are fine, though I prob call hand 3 (I suck?)...I'd fold the river in hand 3.

MasterLJ · #5 04-03-2007, 05:27 PM

Hand 1 is good
Hand 2 I call because he cannot put you on an Ace.
Hand 3 is very good.

See my thinking in hand 3 was that it looked like a blocking bet with a 2 pair/straight/set/overpair hand rather than a big flush. The problem with this thinking is that my play would be wrong somewhere in the hand as I changed my read on his hand. I just can't decide whether the flop and turn call are bad or the river call is bad.

disclaimer: i just moved to nl 100 - so take it with a grain of salt.

hand 1: i would fold the river. given your description i dont think he would 3-barrel AQ - and thats the only hand we re ahead of (even 67 and 36 got there).

hand 2: i play it the same. maybe only betting 90 on the river.

hand 3: i fold the flop. failing to fold the flop i would raise/felt the turn. on the river 42 to win 145? somewhat neutral.

MasterLJ so in hand 2 does hand 1 not play a role in your thought process when he crai the river. If he can't put me on an ace why not just call if he thinks I have KK or QQ. If he is pushing aj or 7T or something he is turning his hand into a bluff.
