I fold this PF.
I think you have to raise the river.

Uhg, 3 bet that flop while you may be ahead and button is still in the hand, presumably drawing (to who knows what). If it gets capped then you can think about slowing down.

I'll wait for better minds on hand 2. I really hate it myself when I have a broadway straight and the board pairs after heavy action. A typical guy could have gone nuts on the turn with anything: from a lower straight to a set or 2 pairs he slowplayed on the flop and filled up or not on the river. A reraise means we're sunk pretty much always, and the pot is going to be too big to fold then, so I'm leaning on weakly calling.

Now I think I should have check-call (for 1 bet). What do you think?

Hand 1, I would definitely reraise that flop. Button already called 2 bets, you might as well try to squeeze some more out of him before the turn hits and he realizes he's lost. Or, alternatively, you might as well get him to fold before the turn hits and he makes his miracle set on his low pocket pair.

I think you didn't give us the aggression stats on these players, and instead only the preflop raise stats, so I'm not sure what kind of player MP2 is except that he's way loose. Without knowing whether he's aggressive or passive, I definitely am reraising this, for value, to see if he caps, etc.

Thats ok. Bet, fold when its 2 back to you, is standard vs. typical villians.

I was just mixing my play while trying to steal blinds or atleast button [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] bb usually looks flop for 1 bet, but let it go if he doesnt hit, thats why I though stealing might be good(+Button is tight).

MP2 calls 3 cold PF then raises the flop - AA, AK, KK, JJ(?) maybe AJ if he cold calls that

UTG caps and folds - bit strange you may want to make a note on that for future - seems to make his hand range quite large for UTG.

I don't like the turn bet - you are WA/WB here - call down

[Jarcon]

I think you guys are right. I didnt have much reads about MP2, but I think he raise only good hands (good for him might be A with kicker below T [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]), So I put him on A(atleast).

But tbh, I dont think button will fold there since he already called 2 bets. If I though im ahead I would definately reraise there.

Thanks for advices.

6 handed I think this is ok
