What do I do if a club comes up? There is a crap load of min betting at this level, so if he had A(9,10,2) I could see him min betting. Do you fold to a min bet on this turn? What do you do on a blank river. My play was to fold to anything more than a min re raise on the turn. Call a min reraise, then check fold a non K river. Or if the turn bet is called, check call a small river bet.

I see people re raise with 10 10-AA. I though KK was unlikly as that would mean all of them are out. So Im losing to AA and winning to 10 10, JJ, QQ. Im not sure what I was thinking with the turn all in. I thought I was pretty much pot committed. I kinda think its a really bad move now with more thought. 1. I think I made him ask question whether I had hit a set on the flop 2. Had I hit a set on the flop, im not going all in with a fullhouse. So I blow that away.

If I had more chips, say even 20$ on the turn. I think a check -raise all in, or small bet-3bet all in would be a good more.


Please help!!! Am I supposed to be blowing up these pots with AK??? I would think so as they are such a strong starting hand.

Hand 1 - Raise more pre-flop. Make it $1.50-$2.00 to go. As played, it looks fine.

Hand 2 - way ahead/way behind. Check-call flop, lead turn for 2/3 pot, fold to raise.

hand1 . 2$ is 8x bb. You sure I should be doing that from such an early position?

hand 2 . I think that is a much better play. However, If you were in his shoes with KQ, would you not re raise a 2/3 pot bet on the turn if your oppenent checked the flop? Or does my logic make no sense as per I put him on pockets

Am I having some serious pot control issues?

Could I please get some more comments. I know half of the sshe board is AK hands, but I need help dabnabit!

Your poor position is exactly why you have to raise a lot here. At 100NL I usually make this a 6/7 x BB raise, but at $25NL I think you will get some calls with $2.00.

No, I would not be re-raising here with KQ.
