Default Two $22 hands

Hand 1.

No significant reads. They didn't seem like 2+2ers or total donks. Somewhere in between.

Raise preflop? Push on the flop? The overbet and coldcall smelled funny to me.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button (t615)
Hero (t670)
BB (t3045)
UTG (t920)
MP (t1415)
CO (t1335)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t30, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t90) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t200</font>, CO calls t200, Hero folds.

Turn: (t490) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t30</font>, BB calls t30.

River: (t550) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t300</font>, BB calls t300.

Final Pot: t1150

Hand 2.

Call this river? Fire again on the turn? Villain seemed a bit donkish.

I would raise preflop on hand one. On the flop, meh, that's one hell of a sticky situation. I think a fold is probably the most prudent option this early.

Hand two I don't like a cont bet on this flop much. There's no draws, so all he's going to call you with is a hand that has you beat, surely? I think the line you took you should fold the river here.

Hand 2, if he wasn't so shortstacked I would have folded. It is possible I should have anyway. I think a fold might be better here.

That's a very good point - looking at that, I may well push the flop actually.

Hand 1: Check-raise all-in.

Hand 2: That's a pretty dry flop for him to call the flop but not make a play on the turn at you once you showed weakness. I probably fold to his river bet, but I don't hate calling all that much.

Hand 1. Raise to 90-100 preflop and if you still get two callers, I'd put it all-in on the flop instead of checking.

Hand 2. Some would consider your continuation bet on the flop as standard but since you didn't improve by the turn, check fold the river. Villain (IMO) is most likely value betting with what he feels is the best hand.

Hand 1: You got really lucky. I would have gone broke, every time by either pushing preflop, check-pushing the flop, or betting and reraising the flop. Probably lose by check-pushing.

Hand 2: I don't know, this is a tough spot. Small stack could have anything... I guess I call, but I don't know who plays a hand like that. PS. Shoulda figured it for a monster.
