Two (screw ups?) from a 6-handed Tourney

[troymclur]

Hand #1:

Table is quite passive-retarded. Villain in this hand, though, is a semi-solid player, but gets scared of highcards with his pocket pairs and generally takes aggression at face value. Fifth hand of tourney, all stacks the same at 5500. Blinds 100/200.

Hero is dealt 7d6d

Folds to Villain who calls on button, SB raises to 400, Hero in BB calls, Villan calls.

Flop: 3d4cQh (pot: 1200)

SB checks, Hero checks, Villan checks.

Turn: 7s

SB checks, Hero checks, Villan bets 500, SB folds, Hero raises to 2000 (and prepares to push any non-scare river if called, and fold any re-raise). Villan calls.

River: 6s

Hero checks, Villan checks.



Hand #2:

Villian in this hand is aggressive player who has shown three hands in which his aggression was justified (two pocket aces, and one pocket kings that turned into a set, all of which he played hard, taking the pots down on the flop or PF when there were raises ahead of him)

Hero (t5500)
Villan (t8500)

Blinds are 100/200

Hero is dealt AdQd in SB.

Folded to Button who calls. Hero raises to 600. BB calls, button folds.
