Am I in a LAG phase? - Page 2

I guess hand 1 is okay. I play it differently where I either call and fold the turn UI or calldown depending on reads.

Hand 2 I'd raise PF. I think your postflop play is good.

Hand #2: How would it be to call the raise on the flop and then bet/fold a non-heart on the turn? I dont think he raises many hands on the flop that you beat, except for the flush draw. Comments?

#1 top pair isn't folding. A weak top pair might check. A busted draw might bluff. Check-call.

#2 I raise preflop and don't usually 3-bet the flop. A river checkfold is probably better than a river bet; I don't think a 9 folds, and a lot of combinations of XhYh have improved to beat your hand as well.

Hand 1 I typically check/call down after the flop raise unless I improve.

Hand 2 I vizzle bizzle the rizzle.

Edit: The tizzle and the rizzle.

I think the river in Hand 2 is a check/fold.

OK, as I suspected I screwed up both these hands. Luckily, the villains in both cases folded to the river bet, and I scooped without showing down.

But that means I either failed to induce a bluff (and potentially lost a BB) or just got lucky by dodging cards.

Yes private joker, these hands are both overplayed.

Is this your standard line w/o reads? I thought that the typical standard response to a flop raise to an unknown is to call down on Hand 1. I think that most people will call down w/ almost any Q and probably fold the river if he's on a draw that missed.

Hand 2, I'd probably stop and go. Call the raise on the flop and bet out on the turn if a scare card falls hoping that he'd fold. If he calls, he may be either on a heart flush draw or has a 9. If he calls on the turn shooting out on a river that isn't a heart isn't bad especially if another scary card comes. However, I'm not sure if check/calling is right if a heart does fall to catch bluffs. Check/folding is probably generally better.
