Full ring I can be pretty okay with folding AK UI more often than not and still make money with it but I'm not so sure at 6-max. |

Re: 2 hands against the same player, wondering how I should approach these
Mr Wilson,
Hand 1, If the BB is really loose then depending on the SB I might open limp this. Most other posters will probably disagree with me but I'm pretty sure there is an example in HEFAP that advocates open limping with Ax against a very loose blind. Given how it played out I think its fine. Hand 2 It's very dependent on what the annoying flop donk means. Given that you raised the flop I would bet the turn and hope he folds a 4 or a 5 and then check the river. In your hand the flop raise and turn check really signals what your hand is so I don't mind a call on the end but the pot is quite small so I think a fold is probably correct. |

Re: 2 hands against the same player, wondering how I should approach these
hand one is a really easy call down
if youre not going to call the river you should fold the turn if you think your hand is good enough to continue in hand two, just calldown. raising lets him bloat the pot when he has a hand and sometimes bluff u off the best hand. |

[/ QUOTE ] Please explain what makes hand 1 an easy calldown. I agree that I should have probably called the river after calling the turn, but I'm not sure I should have called the turn at all. The idea at the time was that I still had 3 aces and a gutshot to call on the turn. I guess 7 outs aren't quite enough to call that turn and fold the river, especially since the aces might not be clean outs. In hand 2 and hands similar to it, my problem is that I don't know when my hand is good or not. It seems like a guessing game for the most part, except that I always seem to get it wrong. What goes into the decision process for you when faced with a situation like that? |

Hand 1.
I don't know which one is better. Call or fold. How many times are you good here against a flop check-raise. I think fold looks like the best play anyway. Hand 2. Bet the turn one last time. The flop donk bet tells us he has something. If you bet the turn there's a chance that he will fold, plus you get a free showdown. The way you played it, it costs the same, but I think you are calling with the worst hand most of the times. |
