2 and 3 are fine.

I don't like hand 1.

you are coinflip with AK/AA but thats not the only hands in his range. they others have you dominated by quite a bit and I'm not sure how much fold equity you have against standard villains with AK/AA here.

I think hand 1 could be folded to the raise preflop given stack sizes, but on the flop I like his play.

Against an opponent hand range of AA-JJ, AKs, AKo, JTs, JTo, KQs, KQo he has 51% equity - he doesn't need any fold equity (although I think he has some anyway). Its a value raise. And it has to be on the flop, because if the turn blanks his hand goes way down (and if it hits opponent can get away from a lot).

how do you figure JT, KQ in villains preflop reraising range?

villain has AK, AA, KK, QQ here in my opinion.

on hand 1, I was advocating a fold.

Ok, with your range hero is 52-53% - even better than my more pessimistic selection. Why are you advocating a fold?

amoeba · #6 08-13-2005, 12:45 PM

oh jeez. I did the math wrong.

somehow I didn't figure for the 4 T outs.

then yeah I like it.

I thought it was just pair + flush draw.

my apologies.

Thats cool, I was using poker stove, so no maths for me, but wen you reposted I thought I must have put the cards in wrong [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Why such small flop/turn bets in Hand 3? You have a huge hand, but with such a draw heavy board a 1/2 pot flop bet doesn't charge nearly enough.

Malachii · #9 08-13-2005, 04:35 PM

Hand #1 is fine. Good players are folding AA there.

Hand #2 I don't like the reraise preflop, although I'd be interested in hearing about why you did it. Good laydown on the flop.

On hand #3 pot the flop.
