Default Re: 2 Semi-Bluff Turn Raises

hi knock

hand 1) the problem with the check-raise is that you have top pair with decent kicker; 2 pair. before making a semi-bluff check-raise, there must be some reasonable chance of gettinmg the fold. you very well might have that here. but the problem is that you also need to ask ' what hand that i can't beat, wioll my opponent laydown?'. and well, you have top pair; there is no hand that you are behind that your opponent will fold. he won't fold the same hand either. your hand can also improve.

hand 1 is a terrible time to checvk-raise semi.

hand 2) too aggressive on the turn. the river betout is perfect.
