Hand 2
 

As many have said, this one is a lot more dicey since my hand will be best less often. When he 3-bets preflop, I'm thinking JJ+ and AK. I think he might donk it with TT or AQ or AJs. The one hand that I really hope he has is AA, so I feel like I should have check/called it.

I actually bet, he raised and I called. I got shown KJo and MHING. Not much I could do, but river aside I don't see much to do differently.

I got to this thread too late.

First, I hope you stick around donking in the forums for another 5000 posts.

Second, I think the first hand is a perfect spot for a river check-raise (calling if 3-bet). Sucks you lost.

Third, I think in the second hand I would probably check-call (I was thinking this even before I read the results and your thoughts). If your read is accurate, it doesn't seem like this guy is betting both the flop and turn without a K; and if he has a K, he's gotta have an A, right? Turns out your read was a bit off - live and learn. But aren't you an advocate of not betting the river against someone who likes his hand unless you intend to 3-bet it when raised?

Fourth, I really hope you stick around the forums for another 5000 posts.

In both hands I would bet the river and call a raise.

How much merit do you think there is in floating preflop with that hand?

You don't flop top boat vs. trips very often, get the money in preflop. Also any hand I would play as villain there would be for 3 bets so I don't think it gives away my hand all that much.

Hand 1:

I would CR the flop, hope she 3-bets so I can smoothcall and CR the turn.

The way you played it I'd lead the river.

Hand 2:

I like this better against a weak TAG, but I'm still betting the river.

Too fancy. If you are going for maximum value, you can usually just cap with this opponent raising your CR. She wants action.

Yeah probably a good point. I might be developing some FPS. Better get that checked out.
