Hand one I'm not so sure about.
Hand two, I probably push here.

I'm not a fan of posting multiple hands in the same thread.

Hand 1: I call and stop n' go a safe turn, though sometimes I will c/r AI on the turn. IMO, call, lead turn &gt; call, c/r turn AI &gt; shove flop.

Hand 2: I lean towards three-betting over folding, will this opponent raise your flop bet with less than a set? With the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in your hand this makes it a lot closer IMO. Without the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I shove more often, but I'm not really sure about this one AJ. Tough spot, in the heat of the moment vs. a solid multitabling regular my weak-tight self would most likely shine through and I would fold.

[Yaboosh]

Stop and go? Why? Raiser obviously likes his hand, if you want it all in, why not just push the flop? Aren't you just giving the villain a chance to either draw out or have a card come out that scares him away?

1. I'm a noob.
2. similar theme.
3. posted together for educational value.

Draws seem unlikely to me for both of these given the PFR calls, ragged boards, and A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in hand 2. Smells like a set or lower overpair for each which makes this WA/WB, no? Both raises are aggressive and represent 1/3 of the effective stacks which makes me lean toward a set. I don't see any likely way to control the pot when WB. How often does villain slow down on the turn with JJ?...seems like it would be expensive to find out.

I think I fold both after puking (in theory at least - I have much more trouble folding AA in practice).

[MaddHatter]

1/2) Push Both

1) I go broke with AA vs TT on hand 1 everytime
2) I go broke with AA vs 55 on hand 2 almost evertime, minus the times I hit my ISSD/BDFD

1) I think we run into KT/AT or overpair often enough to push our edge
2) I think we run into an over pair TT+ to push our edge

Edit: I just saw the this is 100NL and I'm out of my league, i'm going back to my 25NL hole, but if this was 25NL, this is what I would do

*Grunching*

Hand 1: I fold. Villain is telling you, and the other 2 villains left in the hand, that he can beat one pair. you have one pair.

Hand 2: I call and lead a non-spade turn, I c/c a spade turn.

AJ,

When you Cbet with a hand like whiffed AQ, do you usually pot it, or go more like 3/4? I only ask because I've picked up a tell recently when tighter players will throw out 14 into a pot of 20 on a CB, but will pot it with aces.

[derosnec]

Fold.
