If you checked to induce i think it's ok, although since you have no reads Id prefer to value-bet and look for a call from Q8/98/9X/87/88 or w/e, and check if i have a read that he bluffs rivers in really terrible spots.

Hollas compadres,
played some again.
Villain is a pretty passive non regular guy.
Regarding this, calling the turnraise seems spewy, but I couldn't fold with this sexy holding and kept telling myself he might be on a draw.

I didn't want to blurt the pot but also I didn't want to give a freecard for the flushdraw.
Thanks for any thoughts, sence

Looks OK to me, but wouldn't be surprised if you're beat with the standard donk monster line there. I might make turn $9. River might suck, but bad, passive players come in all shapes and sizes.

Thanks the_venetian.

Some new stuff, Villains are pretty standard donks if nothing else has been mentioned.

Third butchered hand, feels like I'm wa/wb here a lot, so I decided to raise smallish to charge his draws but dunno whether this is bad since he'd probably call bigger amounts with draws and reraise me with anything that beats me independent of my betsize.
I didn't see much value in raising riv.

I'm still learning too, but it looks like you're missing value all over the place. It took a little bit to get some confidence, but when you have a hand against a donk, bet it hard until he tells you you're beat. You're playing cash like a weak/tight SNG'er and it doesn't work the same. If they get lucky and stack you, reload and take it back. When you have a hand against a loose passive, win as much money as you can, because you don't get a lot of opportunities like this.

Hand 1, you have to call that weak river bet, but bet/fold may be better.

Hand 2, you have KK. Make him do more than c/r you once before you give up. On a low board, "thinking" players aren't going to give a PFR any credit, so they will screw with you here. Sets are such a small part of his range unless he's a total nit and, even better, there's a large part of his range that might pay you off with his stack if you stay aggressive. Please bet turn/river.

Hand 3, bet the turn harder. If he's the type that will call w/ any draw, this is a huge value play. The river is meh, but I still think I would raise that bet. 7's and 2's and random pocket pairs may still call at this level. Even a lower Q may be out. I'm just not letting a bad player get away with minimizing his losses when he's trying to get to showdown weak.

Hand 1: more on turn and call river, you don't have to be good very often here

Hand 2: 3-bet the flop and get it in, as played bet turn and river. The board is super drawy you're ahead so so often when he checks the turn.

Hand 3: Raise more on the turn, i guess river is ok

Thank you guys!
Feels like the advice already helped, I got more aggro today by a good bunch.

Please critizise me on those:

Villains are no regs.

ok, everyone please rip me a new *******.

Sence, all your hands look fine to me.

i demand harassment, someone asses my hands

you spew like a champion

77 hand...unless he's been way out of line, fold to the 3-bet. As played, JTT is a deceptively bad flop for 77. Most his bluffs have really good equity against an underpair on this type of flop, so ur either a little ahead or way behind.

JJ is just a ****ty spot...can't really say with out reads. I guess if he shows up with KT in a 4-bet pot I probably c/c turn and river.

second JJ, I probably just call again on the turn or even fold.

45, why'd you wait for the blank to peel before shoving?

A8, sure why not with the right history.

JT: b/f the turn.

Sweet infant Jesus bengie those hands are gross.

Hand 1: Fold preflop

Hand 2: Either lead the turn or call the turn

Hand 3: 3b pf, shove turn as played

Hand 4: If you call flop, fold turn readless. I'd bomb the flop though

Hand 5: Fold preflop

Hand 6: Either call or fold to the turn c/r

Edit: On second thought, calling in hand 3 is better than shoving I think.

Meh got pwned a bit today lol, NL50 is obv very very tough.
Not really, but I still got issues.
Where to fold here?
Villain is a donktarded monkey donkey donk who jus won a stack chasing a flush getting donkalicious odds.

Is the flop call ok? On the turn after CR'ed, fold/call/RR?

If I call the turn, I am committed to call river, right (call 50 for 100)?

I'd probably just shove, he can have worse Ts here enough imo to go a long with 55/44.

sense's hands

JJ - Devin, I like your idea about 3betting smallish on the flop if the villain is donkalicous, but if the villain is donktarded the call and then crai the turn looks really good. In this case it's hard to say since he's both.

JT - FD, I submit the flop is a call. Unlike a pure draw you aren't folding better hands. You also have a made hand that is catching some bluffs. You have a decent hand and a decent draw, but not good enough that I think getting it in on the flop is your best option and it's either unavoidable or a very nasty fold if villain 3 bets. It is nice to have a pot built for when you hit, but villain is a bit short so that's not so important.

Of course there are benefits to raising the flop (protection against over cards and straight draws - a few better hands might fold - pot building - worse flush draws might chase - occasionally a curious worse made hand will call). I'm just saying on the balance I like a flop call. I'm not writing it in stone or anything though. I have previously thought raising was better here.

.

It would also be no surprise to see JJ+. Also there would be some surprises.

very

I think calling has merit too, especially vs someone with this stack-size who will probably still pay us if we improve. I like raising a lot though because in today's online games ppl are sticking it in w/ any flush draw + overcard etc and we are obv ahead of other FDs and have nice blockers.
