I think you won 1 & 3 and lost 2,4 & 5.

I would have bet the flop in 2 and raised pre flop&bet flop in 4.

aK13 · #3 06-30-2005, 05:54 AM

I like bet/folding the turn in hand 1

I fold flop hand 2

I fold river hand 3

I fold turn hand 4

I like hand 5

Hand1: I'll bet this turn against most opponents, but it's highly likely you'll be bluff-raised against this guy so the check is probably good.

Hand2: The pot is small, don't know if it's worth fighting for.
I might lead the flop though.

Hand3: I like

Hand4: looks similar to hand2

Hand5: I'd bet the turn

In my opinion:

#3 is fine.

#1 and #5 are OK only if your opponent is willing to bluff without at least a pair. If you haven't caught him doing this before or if you don't at least strongly suspect that he has done it due to the frequency of his turn raises, then I think you must bet the turn and fold to a raise.

#2 and #4 are absolutely dreadful. The pots are small, your Ace is bad (I wouldn't call with a good one either, though), and I think calling down is very -EV.

Anyone else?

#1: pretty standard.

#2: Raise pre-flop if you're going to play. Flop call is bizarre to me, I would fold every time. However, you have to call the river IMO given the action.

#3: I fold river simply because of the sheer number of hands this board hits. Turn donk-bet to me looks like a decent made hand that suddenly realized it doesn't want to give a free card.

#4: Don't like it. SB could easily check the flop with a baby pair, then become confident when the Q pairs.

#5: Yeah, call, though I prefer betting the turn. I really prefer betting the turn.

I think you win 1, 2, and 5.

ISF · #8 06-30-2005, 08:43 PM

1, and 3 I play the same. 2 and 4 I would toss. Hand 5 I would probably call, but im not you should.

Chiron · #9 07-01-2005, 02:05 AM

you lost hands 1, 3, 4
you won hands 2, 5

Justin A · #10 07-01-2005, 03:27 AM
