Two PP hands

[btspider]

Hand 1:

Button was running at 30/15 and playing fairly straightforward, just too loose and a bit too passive.

UTG and SB are 50+ vpip LP's after a few orbits.

-----------------------------------------

Hand 2:

BB has been playing tight and a bit weak. He hasn't show much aggression pre or post flop. in one hand, he open limped KJo UTG. 3 to the flop. I was in the BB and bet my 87 on the flop and turn of a K8xx board. when i checked the river, he checked behind.

I intended to fold to a turn bet.

Hero checks....

I will call a bet, hoping I induced a bluff from a missed draw.

posting blind.

Hand 1

I bet the flop.

I def bet the turn.

I bet the river too.

Hand 2

Bet the turn. Because he is so passive, you can fold to a raise pretty easy. I don't bet the river, but not to induce a bluff (which won't happen), but because he might check through a better hand. I might bet if I think he'll call with 22 or ace high.

Hand 1: Bet the flop and give the button an opportunity to raise overcards and drive people out that he probably won't be able to pass up.

Hand 2: Bet the turn and make him pay if he has one of the many draws out on the board. Check-call the river is fine after that, especially if he's prone to checking behind with a pair.

[btspider]

if i bet the flop in hand 1 and get raised, what should my turn/river plans be?

check-call the turn and check-fold the river if he bets again? or bet-call the turn and then check-fold the river?

[dave44]

Assuming its heads up on the turn, I would check-call since I think even if you bet he's not laying much down. On the river, I like a bet/fold so he's not checking down good A-high's.

[marching_on_together]

if you bet the river (after check calling the turn) do you really think he calls this often enough with a worse hand?

If you bet the flop and get raised i'd lead the turn and call a raise then fold unimproved on the river.
