4 hands I would like checked for $1/3,
UTG limps, LJ Opens for $21 (this is a pretty big sizing for this game, it is usually around $12-15).
Hero looks at JJ (i forgot the suits) and decides to flat UTG flats.
UTG Villain has $300+, LJ Villain has $69 behind, the hero has $270,
Flop is KhQhJs
UTG leads for $40, LJ shoves for $69, I decide to shove over the top, thoughts?
I feel the board is super wet and don't want any more draws to come in and want to get my money in right now, we are losing to Kings and Queens but we are beating AA, AK, AQ and flush and straight draws. I think that it is a profitable long term. As for preflop, I think I could have 3bet and gotten it in against the LJ since he was so short (I did not realize at the time, it was one of my first hands and he was next to me kinda covering his chips)
2)
limped pot, (UTG, BTN, SB and me)
hero has 93o, checks go 4 ways,
Flop is K4Tr, checks around,
J (completes rainbow) on the turn, checks around again,
Q on the river, we make the bottom end of a straight.
I bet $10,
UTG now rips it in for $165
I decide to fold after trying to get a read out of him, I just could not read him, he does seem like a new player and I just don't know if we can call enough times to be profitable, I think most of the time this is an A since he limped UTG but could be any two cards since as I said he is newer. I felt he just got too excited and ripped it and I decided not to go broke on a limped pot. Idk might have been too nitty.
3)
Hero looks at 99 UTG, open for $15, 4 ways to the flop.
Flop is A/5/2r,
I decide to Cbet $45 since I have been pretty tight the whole night, even though I would usually shut down if there are this many callers, but since I have been pretty tight and the board is just sooooo dry, I felt i could get away with it cuz the Ace smacks me so hard.
Everyone calls, at this point, I just give up, Turn is a bring, UTG +2 bets $140 and I am done with the hand.
Thoughts on the Cbet? Should I just never cbet at low stakes unless it hits me multiway and just give up with "air"?
4) I think this might have been too agro/spew but idk:
Button straddle to 6, Player in UTG+1 primitively puts in $6
SB opens to $55, The player has about $290 and covers hero who has $250 after that last hand (3) didn't have a chance to top off. Interestingly the player that has put in the $6 and the player that raised look at each other and make a comment about punishing his mistake since the $6 stays (the UTG+1 limper is tilted at this point of the night). Not sure if I believe that the guy is bullying the other guy but this is a pretty big sizing, he started the night with $200 and is a rec player, has gotten some chips and the player did play a large hand kinda passively before.
BB fold,
Hero looks at AKo,
I am not really sure what to do at this spot, on one hand, I think it is kinda week to fold, but with my stack size (and effectively being 40bb deep with a straddle), I don't think I can 3 bet to any amount other than a shove. I am blocking Aces and kings and flipping against everything else, I decide to rip it in for $250, push my max fold equity and it folds around to the SB who tank calls. I don't really think that players understand the implications of a straddle at $1/$3 that it halves their stack so I don't really know how I should be approaching these spots.
Thanks for your help!
