($22) some simple level 1&2 hands

All these situations might be pretty standard, but I probably have hunderds of leaks to fix, so berate my play wherever you can. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

What do you put him on? Do you call?

[playtitleist]

#1 - Fold. Somebody has a hand and you are looking a tie straight in the eye.

#2 - I'd push the flop and puke when somebody turns over a deuce they called the pre-flop raise with. But that wasn't your question. Ugh, I think you are behind 85% of the time at the $22, I don't think dude is bluffing, but I still like your hand and the odds you are getting to see it down are too good to fold.

#3 - I don't put him on anything that beats you right now. I call it. If he does pop up with AK or AA you fire up another. That said, I fold AQo in lvl2 when facing all this pre-flop raise and call action.

[niquewon]

Hand One: Fold. At best you're in a coinflip situation and you could be dominated, fold and wait for a better spot.

Hand Two: I'd probably raise a bit more preflop to around 90 but other than that your line looks fine to me.

Hand Three: As much as I don't like AQ in this spot I don't think villan would be making this sort of play with anything that you're behind. I'd probably call here.

In hand three the raiser had 55.

So does anyone fold AQ in this situation? (hand 3) Or did I do ok?
And about raising QQ to 90: in my experience, you'll take the pot right there quite often with a raise like that, even at the $22's. I think that's not good.

[SonnyJay]

Hand 1: Fold and enjoy your 695 remaining chips. Definitely don't want to commit that many chips here against 2 players.

Hand 2: I take a similar line to you, but I bet more on the flop. If it's gonna commit me then just push. If it goes the way it did in this hand then I'm folding the turn.

However, be careful of this:

You definitely want to make money on these hands, but don't play in fear of winning the hand preflop. Sure it's not always ideal, but you aren't looking to play this multiway and there are going to be cards on the flop that you don't like a good percentage of the time. Just to clarify: I make a similar raise to yours, but be careful thinking about making sure people are coming along for the ride.

Hand 3: If he's got AK or a set then there's a new SNG starting up any second. I think you have to call this at a $22.
