Default Re: Recognizing good 2nd best hands...

Hand 1, villain can have 4 combos of KJ, or 4 combos of KT. There is only 3 combos of AK, and 2 combos of AA. You will have to reasonably discount these, and I would call it 6 combos you beat, and 3 that beat you. You also have overlay from button. I think a check raise is close, but perhaps just calling is best.

Hand 2, villain has 3 combos of AA, 3 combos of 99, and 3 combos of AJ. AA is by far the most likely though, and will reraise if you raise the river, so nice river call.

Hand 3, it sure looks like you are beat by KJ (12 combos). But, I guess he could also sometimes have AT (6 combos), TT (3 combos), QT (6 combos). He is passive, so these arn't all that likely, but the pot is 13 BB by the river, so you only need to be good about 1 in 14. That means that if he plays AT, TT, or QT the way he did around 10% of the time, you are good as gold.


Nice hands,
