A couple of hands

[dhaimon]

cryptologic, so pardon me for not using hand converter.

hand 1.
BB is uber loose uber passive, going at something like 60/0 over 30ish hands.
MP is unknown.

5 handed
I sit at button with AK. MP limps, I raise, SB folds, BB calls, MP calls.

flop K42 rainbow.
both check to me, I bet, both call.

turn 2.
both check to me, I bet, both call.

river A.
BB bets, MP folds, I raise, BB 3-bets, I call.

I have to raise this or change my name to sarah right?


hand 2.
4 handed. no reads sadly, my second hand at the table.

I pick up AA in SB.
UTG calls, Button calls, I raise, all call.

flop KTT, two clubs.
I bet, BB folds, UTG calls, Button calls.

turn T.
I bet, both call.

river 4c.
I bet, UTG folds, Button raises, I 3-bet, Button caps, I call.

obvious 3-bet right?



hand 3.
5 handed. I got TT in BB. CO is pretty loose passive.
UTG folds, CO raises, Button calls, SB calls, I call.

flop 456 rainbow.
SB bets, I raise, CO 3-bets, Button and SB folds, I call.

turn 7.
I check, he checks.

river K.
I check, he checks.

Anyone 3-bet here preflop? Bet the turn? Bet the river?



hand 4.
5 handed. I have J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the SB. CO posts SB.
UTG folds, CO calls, Button calls, I call, BB checks.

flop K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
I bet, BB folds, CO calls, Button calls.

turn T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
I check, CO checks, Button bets, I call, CO calls.

river 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
I bet, CO raises, Button calls, I 3-bet, CO calls, Button calls.

I think I seriously funked with CO's head here. I hoped the CO would bet the turn so I could checkraise them both.


Comments?

Hand 1: Fine. FWIW, a sample of 30 hands is probably not enough to judge a player as loose/passive, unless you've seen him play a few good hands in that fashion or limping with trash.

Hand 2: I like it.

Hand 3: I like this one too, especially against a loose/passive. He could be 3-betting with overcards on the flop, but that is highly unlikely. However, he could also have 88, 99, A7 and a call down is mandatory. I wouldn't bet the turn or the river, though. The river card is kind of scary, if he was getting frisky with AK on the flop. However, unless he has very tight raising standards preflop, I wouldn't mind a reraise, you have plenty equity with the button and SB in between.

Hand 4: You have no reason to think CO will bet the turn in this hand and even though a check through wouldn't be horrible for you, I think a bet on the turn is mandatory. You will get lots of calls from players drawing dead in this situation.

You did not specify what level of play, but I'm going to assume lo limit.

On that basis
1. Cap the river
2. If this was crypto, you should have done more than 3-bet-call. Do you see why?
3. Bet the river because his turn check with position shows major weakness, IMO.
4.c/r the turn
