Re: Two Successive Hands
I don't like hand 1 much. I don't think it will work much. I would check/call the turn. I think hand 2 is fine.

Re: Two Successive Hands
I don't like hand one w/ out a read. Its the kind of spot I find myself in a lot when I first sit at a table. I can say that its better to pass on this spot and pick a better one when you have more information.
Hand #2 seems ok based on the context. |

Re: Two Successive Hands
Both of you are missing the point of hand 1.

Both of you are missing the point of hand 1. [/ QUOTE ] That you folded a flush draw that was reasonably likely to be live (and some overcards that have a small chance of being live) getting 9-1 closing the action? |

Re: Two Successive Hands
In Hand 1, I would call the turn 3-bet. You are getting 9:1 to draw to a flush. Surely, there is < 50% chance that he has a higher [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or will have a boat by the river.
I like Hand 2. |

Re: Two Successive Hands
I'm assuming you mean that you thought this was a raise with a lot of value in it. I did consider this...you were semibluffing. Do you mean that your hand has such high equity here that it doesn't matter if villain hardly ever folds? If you are, I disagree. You likely have a decent number of outs, but I do think he has to fold a lot to make a raise correct, especially because you are going to call a 3bet. If you're planning on raising and folding to a 3bet, forfeiting a draw that could be live, I think its even worse. I think check/calling is definitely the best line.

Re: Two Successive Hands
My point for hand 1 is most people aren't 3-betting that turn without a flush. Some people will with a 5, but it's very likely he has a flush. Knowing that, he raised the flop with a flush draw. That is the only reason I called down in the second hand.

And since most players at 10-20 are going to raise you on the flop with a flush draw, I don't see why the latter point is so revelatory. |

If he has a flush, he doesn't always have a higher flush. He may have 5x. He may have some other unexpected hand. I call the turn. Also, what is the point of the check-raise? It has very little semi-bluff value. |
