Hi all,

I haven't played a lot in the last couple of months and that's why I started some 5/10 a couple of weeks ago. What do you guys think about these 2 folds.

<font color="blue"> Hand 1</font>

I haven't played a lot at this limit so not many reads but I would like to know what you do without reads. The BB in this hand had a low PF and an aggression factor of about 1 but not too many hands.

Feels good to be back...

Re: Rusty
 

i call both down.

Re: Rusty
 

Folding hand 1 is probably +EV, but I don't think I can do it.

Hand 2 is good.

Re: Rusty
 

Hand 1: I call and start swearing when I see villian flip over TJ.

Hand 2: I also call and check/call the river.

Re: Rusty
 

Hi have it all,

Can you explain why you call them? Just telling me what you would do isn't going to help me.

Thanks,

Guido

Hi mxer7734,

Can you explain why?

Thanks,

Re: Rusty
 

I definitely call hand 1. The pot is quite large, and there's a reasonable chance he has Q8 or 98 that we beat. It looks grim, but we really don't have to be ahead very much.

Hand 2 is probably a good fold, but I suck at folding these.

Re: Rusty
 

Hand #1: Oops I didn't realize you folded. Ah what? The pot is too big and you are ahead enough of the time for it to be profitable. I've been meaning to post a hand where I went crazy with AK and I was shocked I won when it was all done. 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]'s on the flop, one on the turn and 4 on the river and me w/out a heart. I capped preflop and the flop and nobody had a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Someone called me with 55 and nothing else was on the board. I think the other person had KQ.

Hand #2: I think you played this right and I think I really suck because I call this down here. Why didn't button cap the flop though? To get one or two more out of you?

I really doubt that he calls two cold in the BB with Q8/98, then proceeds to call two more cold on the flop (after the PF cap) with mid pair, weak kicker or TPWK. Provided that he does do this, I really doubt he raises the river with a weak two pair following huge action on previous streets, and a straight and flush possible.

I'm going to have to remember how hand#1 was played when I have a 2+2 type TAG in the hand [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
