#1) I raised to $180 and he folded. Its a tough spot because I could have the best hand and best draw, the worst hand and worst draw or some combination. I just didnt believe him when he bet the turn without even thinking about it. I think if he had the flush, AhAx or AhKx he would really try to think about what his best play is.
#2) I tanked, figured pot odds and finally called. I think its a bad call though. Against any reg who is at least a little bit aggro I think its an easy call but I rarely see rec players who dont play very much going nuts with draws. I lost to 87.
Today I raised QQ to $30 and got 2 callers. Flop was 7c5c4d with a FD. I bet $55 into the $90 pot and a guy shoved all in to $300 total. I instacalled him because I know he has a huge range there and is very aggro. He had Ac9c (I lost that one too
).
I kicked myself for calling vs the rec player even though pot odds make it look like an easy call.
