Re: Your insights on these hands Part II
hand 1. You have to check behind. I doubt if you are going to get much out of him on this hand, but you have to give him a chance to bluff at it. If you check behind, he may think you took a shot with the pre flop raise and didn't like getting called. There aren't any great draws out there that you should be scared of, give him a chance to hit his set.(I put him on a small/medium pair or something like KQ, KJ).
Hand 2. I think you bet this flop. I'm not liking the 2 hearts on board. If you check this one and only one more heart comes and someone beats you with a flush you will kick yourself. The old saying better to win a smallish pot then lose a big one is in play here. Hand 3. Tough spot. I think discretion is the better part of valor. I would have folded. I don't dislike the pre flop raise, though his min re-raise sends up red flags. That min reraise followed by a push on the flop is a classic betting pattern for aces, from what I've seen. |

Re: Your insights on these hands Part II
Hand 1: Ouch! Yea, you have to check it and hope he makes a hand. Theres no flush possiblity, and not much of a striaght possiblity. However, if the flop came As,Ks,10d, then I would definitley lead out and bet because of the draw possiblities.
Hand 2: You were right in betting. You might have bet a tad too much, but you were still right in betting. Your hand is no sure thing, and theres a flush possiblity. Hand 3: Good lay down. AK,KQ,KK,TT all have you beat ... and even if he doesnt he'll have a lot of outs to beat you. |
