Hand 1---Bet on the river.
Hand 2---Fold preflop depending on a read. You should have bet on teh river.

raise in hand 1, what hands do you think he has?

raise in hand 2

hand 3 is ok

hand 4 is tough, but since BB just woke up, I think you can fold.

Hand 3--good
Hand 4--Dont like the 3bet on the flop.

Blunderfull1 · #5 11-21-2005, 06:16 PM

Hand 1: I wouldve capped the flop, but its ok if you didnt. If you dont cap the flop, then you must check raise the turn. You would bet the river too.

Hand 2: I wouldve bet the river, but I will get called by something worse.

Hand 3: I fold the flop, but you called. So you should just call him down. WA/WB line is correct.

Hand 4: It seems good, but I would bet out on the flop. Everything else is good.

Grunch.

I think you have to raise the turn in hand 1. If villian fires back at you then let's call him down. You're only losing to KK and villian has AK far more often. Our set is good here way too often to not push it.

Hand 2 I think our hands are tied. We're OOP and the flop missed us. I'm making a crying call on the river.

Hand 3 I'm folding after the flop. The pot is small and I don't think our 5s are good often enough to make this worthwhile.

Hand 4 I'm seriously considering folding this preflop. But once we're in the hand I think I play it the same way. If I'm smart/weak I check river and call a bet, but I probably bet because I think we have the best hand. I don't put him on AQ. Does villian really have a 6? What 2 pair? Did he wait 'til the river to raise a set?

*grunching*

Hand 1: Preflop is marginal but not too bad. Check-raising is fine, but I think you could cap the flop and then lead the turn.

Hand 2: Bet the river.

Hand 3: I think you could fold this flop with two overcards to your pair and a small 1-card flush draw.

Hand 4: Raise preflop. I like postflop play all the way. When the BB wakes up on the river it looks like a straight, but I would pay off anyway.

1. Raise turn. Bet river.
2. No problem with that.
3. I would definately fold this on the flop. There are too many players to act after you to call with such a weak hand. You might end up having to call a raise.
4. Check/call river.

Hand 1: bet out the flop. There's no way he puts you on a set of 3's, and he probably raises with TPTK. On the button, he can be on a variety of hands: a middle pair, or ragged AQ.C/R the turn, and bet/raise away on the river. Best I'd put him on is top two.

Hand 2: no major disagreement. I might've bet out first on the river. Top pair with decent kicker with threat of trips. More likely check/call and fold to any raise.

Hand 3: Fold the flop. SB probably on a 1-card draw like you, but you're only ahead of 2 other flushes.

Hand 4: 1 bet for the possibility of winning 13. Think you're 8% to win? Probably lost to a donked straight or made 2-pair. I call and kick myself later, but worth a crying call.

Hand 1 - Either cap flop and lead turn or just call the 3-bet and C/R the turn. Your hand is far too strong to be just calling the turn and checking the river. Just because he 3-bet you doesnt mean he has trip jacks or kings. AK or KQ is very likely here.

Hand 2 - Bet river. Why are you checking there?

Hand 3 - Fold flop, you have a flush draw that is very very unlikely to win if hit. You are getting 7:1 and need a 5 for a set, and you will likely either be already beaten or outdrawn by the river. Easy fold.

Hand 4 - Raise PF, lead flop.
