To be honest, I fold preflop.

5.25:1 is too sweet to pass up.

I'm a little girl when it comes to variance. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

not that much variance.

87.5% or whatever you fold
2.5% you lose a huge pot
9% you win a huge pot

Ok, I'm a dumb little girl.

Hand 2 I like cap turn/call river.

Hand 1 is trickier. I hate 3-betting, that's all I'm sure of. I'd call down because it is so transparent that we have a monster here and he doesn't appear to care.

Does anyone consider 3-betting and folding to a cap in hand 1?

No. I need a solid, non-statistical, read to employ this play against anyone.

Besides, I'm pretty sure if you did a 6 would've fallen on the river and you would have beat his 88 FH.

Nice discussion here. I'd say that so far I agree with what seems to be the general consensus on both these hands--calling down in hand 1 and capping then calling the river in hand 2.

As it went down, I stupidly gave way too much action on both of these hands without really pausing to think about hand ranges. These hands happened within about 30 seconds of each other on separate tables and I was very annoyed with myself after. I lost both if that isn't clear. Hand 1 to JJ and hand 2 to KK.

Here's another hypothetical: say I cap the turn and get checkraised on a blank river in hand 2. Could I fold it?
