Villian is std as far as I remember.
As you may notice a lot of the hands I post are river call / bet decisions, I think I am paying off too much?

[Rainclouds]

The hands you beat here are 66-99 and any air. With better than 1 to 5 odds, calling is good.

[ronitonline]

Should I be raising the flop or betting the turn?

[Rainclouds]

Raising the flop is good I think.
On the turn I'd check everytime. That A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is a really nasty scare card and your hand has showdown value; I want a cheap showdown here.

[killphilNI]

Raising the flop would be pretty bad.

The A hit his range on the turn, betting turns your hand into a bluff, I'd just check it down.

Can you please elaborate?

Villain can be cbetting overcards, he can be on a straight draw or a flush draw, we have position and almost any turn is scary.

I like to get my money in when my equity is the best.

[Jon Marlow]

I like raising this flop. I check the turn too, and call the river as the bet's so small.

[RiverHebrew2]

Well, if you make a big raise, and he calls, that usually means your equity isn't best.
