I don't have HHs for either of these hands, as HEM isn't converting ante tables properly. May have to update I'll try and relate them as best I can though.

I should be viewed as a competent reg by both of these guys. The first guy should see me as a 22/18. He shouldn't have too many reads apart from that given sample size. I think I ended up 3betting a lot on the tables where I played him previously, so he might view as a very frequent 3better, especially on the button. First guy probably thinks I 3bet just greater than 10% in this scenario. Second guy probably thinks I 3bet about 4% in this scenario.


Hand 1: Villain is new to 200NL. I thought I recognised the SN as a 2p2er, but I googled it and from the HHs there, it seems like he's just moved up from 100NL. He seems quite good though. He's running 19/16 over the 600 hands I have on him, and he seems to play well enough. We haven't clashed so far, but I haven't seen him get out of line much. On this table he's been tightish to open hands, but aggro postflop. From the hands I have on him, he folds to 3bets 67% of the time.

Effective stacks: €850

These are ante tables as well, hence the weird open sizes. He's opened to 3/4 pot, which seems pretty standard for him so far from the CO.

There is roughly €550 back FWIW.


Hand 2: Villain is a reg at 1/2. I think he's a bad reg, and just seems to make a lot of weird decisions. He seems to be a bit of a monkey at times too. We obv have a hell of a lot of history. He runs 21/16.8, with a fold to 3bet of 56% and raise 3bet of 12.2%. He very rarely raises cbets in 3bet pots playing shallower anyway, but raises cbets in normal pots a stupid amount of the time. His usual raise size for this is about 2.5x. This is all from much shallower though. Stats are over 12k hands.

Comments wherever you feel they are appropriate please! If anyone wants mroe reads just ask.

Calling river in hand 1 isn't so bad
Hand 2 completely standard, played it perfectly considering villain

In real time i'd be tempted to shove hand one over his river bet, but thinking more about it, calling can't be too bad.

I'd say he's much more likely to check/raise the NFD in a 3bet pot (hand one) than any other flush draw, unless it's a FD + straight draw, but there shouldn't be many combos flatting OOP.

Hand two I honestly would contemplate folding the river. I don't think he has much air in his range, nor just one pair hands. I feel like his range is weighted much heavily towards the top..I don't think he value bets this river with hands that you beat

While he is aggro postflop, it sounds as if he's trying to move up, so i'd be less inclined to think he's barrelling you off here just to get you off an overpair type hand
