Two hands

2 hands I played today at NL 200.....I had no reads on either villian, and both hands were played with around 100 BB stacks, give or take a few bets

Hand 1

I hold AJs in middle position w/100 BBs....2 limpers to me, I limp, button makes it 8, BB(villian) calls with 100 BBs as does one limper and myself

Flop is AJ4, suits unimportant...checked to button, who bets 10 into a 40 dollar pot, he is checkraised to 40 by the BB...I smooth call and we are heads up to the turn, which is a blank.....All the money gets in pretty quickly

Hand 2

At a loose table after one limper I limp with JTs, folded to BB who makes it 8 to go. Limper folds, we are heads up

Flop is KJJ, suits unimportant

He checks, I bet the pot, he minraises, I call....Turn is a blank, he bets pot, I raise all in, he calls

bump for daytime crew. is this standard? boring?

in hand 1 suits are important as it eliminates some of the holdings of villain.

personally I think BB has you beat in hand 1.

also, what is your reasoning for limp calling out of position with AJ preflop?

in hand one the board was rainbow on the turn....I called getting around 3.5-1....is that not standard??

BB was not preflop raiser. BB checkraised a rainbow ace high flop.

what do you think bb has ?

I think its a split pot at best.

I hope you hit your 4 outer redraw.

yeah, i didn't hit my redraw, and yeah, he had a set of 4s...I basically posted that hand because I wasn't sure if this was a standard laydown on the flop...In your opinion it is?

hand 2 is very read dependent. if villian leads at most of the pots in which he raises p/f then you need to take that into account. possible hands that you're behind are: AJ, KJ, KK. other possible hands (which you're ahead of are): AK, AA, a terrible bluff/overplayed weak hand (eg-QQ). in order to define his range i'd consider what types of hands this type of player would raise in the bb. also, does he view you as tricky, or LAG?

hand 2.....i can't see opponent having anything but a jack with a kicker better than yours, or KK....

Hand 1 - You might be ahead here although a set of 4's is likely. I swear i've seen the donks roll j 4 or Ace 4 enough of the time that I think you have to call.

If he has been paying attention, he probably views me as a lag...I've played quite a few pots since I sat down, and I'm pretty aggressive when checked to....I also just bet 200 into a 7 dollar pot when I rivered a wheel, but I'm not sure what he thinks about that....

its either something that has me beat or a pure bluff or a very aggressively played A4 or 23.

if I know villain to be tight enough to not call preflop raises with A4 and 23 and not aggressive enough to do a pure bluff, which is the majority of the time, I fold the flop.
