1. call turn, call non-diamond rivers and bet/fold if checked to.
2. call, too much dead money to fold.

Hand 2- seems like b/e to call unless I have his range far too tight. What range are we putting him on?

Maybe I'm the only person who thinks about actually folding hand 1. We're calling for a chop and hoping that we don't face further heat/another diamond on river. I'd expect a guy playing 58/41 to have me beat often enough when he raises here, plus his money is dead in the long run anyway. Going to have much better spots against him.

Hand 2 I think is pretty close between fold and call. In game I probably make the call but I think a fold is slightly better.

Bring Minka Kelly back.

H1 - Call and call all non diamonds rivers. Not happy but I think after put 20 bbs against this aggro donk we cant fold.

H2 - Meh, fold. In this is spot is interesting to know if villain cares about positions. Some guys just have a static range for any action. Probably its close with the dead money.

I'm folding hand 1 against this guy. He's too passive post to believe he is ever doing this with less than a chop.

Hand 2: I'm calling, it's close and he obviously isn't good with stats like that so there is some spaz factor. The limper note might make me think we can disregard AA-KK some because he would of limp RR.

I fold hand1 :-\

Hand2 - don't we lose too much if we are wrong here? Or have i done the math wrong?..

EV=our equity * what we win - Villains equity * what we lose
What we win: $68.29+$3.5+$3.5+$3.5+$3.5=$82.29
What we lose: $64.79

QQ+/AK [.364 * 82.29 - .636 * 64.79] = -$11.25
JJ+/AK [.337 * 82.29 - .663 * 64.79] = -$15.22
TT+/AK [.341 * 82.29 - .659 * 64.79] = $14.60
99+/AK [.402 * 82.29 - .598 * 64.79] = -$5.66
99+/AQ+ [.442 * 82.29 - .557 * 64.79] = $.28

can we call hand 1 and c/f river? how often will this type of villain fire river again with a K?

to the people saying call hand 2, what is the main reason? is it because of the note he limped TT and was ok with going allin pf? I think w/o that note hand 2 is a snapfold

hand 1 i think i fold if he hasn't shown down a lot of random idiot aggression. one thing good players forget is how many flush combos fish have as a % of their range and how this raise is usually exactly a flush if not air.

hand 2 is a snapfold. way too much stuff has you boned and this kind of player usually doesn't jam AK or 88 or something here.

H1 you're toast a lot of the time already

H2 the guy is loose passive, although fish do play AK/AQ like this a lot

dont forget rake in calculations for hand 2 i guess :S i think calling cant be too bad although its probably break even and probably overall slightly -ev with information given.. probably needless to say but calling ako jj (although some people itt sound like they'd "closely" fold jj too
