First hand, nh. 2nd hand I'd raise more preflop (to about $14-$16), since you're OOP for the rest of the hand. Otherwise also well played.

why push the turn? Just because of the flush drwa? I dont understand that line [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] .

2nd hand I CRAI the turn and raise more PF.

blackbort · #7 07-02-2007, 11:33 AM

button on has 40 more in 2nd hand...crai is a good line but this is approaching an amount where its better to just bbb

I like the 2nd hand much better than the first, as it's clearly obvious you can't fold hand 2 in a 3 bet pot.

However, I don't like the first hand as your default play (which it's kind of starting to look like). Villain in hand 1 obviously likes to see cards turn over, so it's very likely you can get 3 streets of value from him with a simple 2/3 PSB. I would think you're pushing out hands you beat with that turn shove.

But in the first hand the short stack has only about $37 left by the turn - if you bet 2/3 pot or about $25 or so, you're essentially putting him in - there's no way you get away for another $12 on the river.
