I seem to always get in trouble in these spots vs unknowns. I either call when I'm beat or fold when I have the best hand. I thought he either had 9x, set, or bluff.

Hello!

I played some deep stack poker, its not in $ as it looks like in the hands. Its more like NL10.

Did I play any of thees hands terribly wrong given he is 52/31 med agg.2,5.

Hand 1:


Hand 2:


Hand 3

Villain is unknown

Looks good bfsrh. Could even re raise. Hard for him to have anything that beats you

Hand 1 : bigger preflop. Checking this flop.

Hand 2 raising river definitely. No way hes leading out pot with A2, 26 or 67 on turn and he almost never has a better set

Hand 3 is well played

H1 x/f flop.

H2 r/f $35

Thanks for the answers!

Given you ppl keep on telling us newbies to bet and raise alot, am I over playing my kings in this hand, or is it okey? It gets a bit wet...

Hand 1



Hand 2 - what to do on river? Okey until river?


Thanks again for all the help! Maybe I can start helping somone out soon

Hand 1: bigger on turn. Check river. Nohing worse is calling really so your essentially betting river to stop him bluffing it himself which isnt ideal.
Check fold most of the time.

Hand 2: fold river. Vs this guy you can call the turn but you are behind most of the time.

MP has folded to a flop CB 1/6 times. Should I CB flop? Fold or call turn?

Looks fine. He most likely has 77-JJ anyway given his OOP call of the 3bet, so youre rarely ahead. I doubt he leads out pot with AQ here.
Whats with the hands at the bottom? Are these guesses?

I forgot to mention that I have notes on him that says he's called a 3B IP with J3s and called a 3B with A8s OOP. He also limp/called with J9o, 84o, T3s. So I think his range is really wide here.

Would you agree that if I plan on folding to a bet on OTT, then cbetting flop is better but if I plan on calling a turn bet, then checking flop is better?

As played, which turn cards do you think I should call and which should I fold?

With that note we can probably cbet flop. Nothing too big though. Half pot or so, barrell any A K or Q turn.

Vs this guy I think this is true yeah. If we can't call a turn bet, and we're quite sure he will bet out on turn if we check, then betting flop is better

Vs his sizing I guess you can only continue on a A or K turn

Hand 1, both villains look like regs over a small sample. I guess calling is best pre, I hate both 4b/f and 4b/c. Flop confuses me, don't think he'd do this with bluffs. I hate folding, I hate calling down and I hate folding turns. I also guess nothing worse ever calls. Folding might be best?

Hero ?

Hand 1 preflop looks fine. Check call it down. only AA beats you.

Hand 2 3bet a little bigger pre. Cbet a lot bigger on flop. Check turn now. Check call vs fish. Could check/call or check fold vs co depending on sizing

any opinions on this, can't see im beating much 22 88 1010 most likely right?
could you find a fold on the flop even?

Kinda spot where I fire up my hud pop up and see how often he raises cbets IP. If he never has, I fold, if he does it even once every now and then I might peel one off.
Folding flop is probably best. Its not likely he has J9 or 79 in his flatting range with those stats, so you only beat a complete bluff. And if hes bluffing he probably has some turns he can continue on which will force us to fold.
As played folding turn

MP is a random button clicker judging his 3b size and stacksize. CO looks like a total fish. I probably can 4b a lot larger here, I'm calling of a jam anyway from anyone but UTG.

These spots come up somewhat regularly, where I get AK or AQ HU against a wide range and brick completely with a pretty shallow spr. Really dunno what's best here

Hero?

Played this hand in 5max deepstacked (200bb buy in).


(This is not played in $, divide all $ whit 7.)

Did I play this hand totally wrong and should just be happy I survived or was it okey to try to be so offensive as long as he does not start to bet him self?

Any thoughts?

I only like preflop, calling with a hand with some nutpotential. c/r the flop is terrible, if you want to c/r more, include some bluffs, not valuehands you're essentially turning into a bluff. I'm not even sure you should want to c/r this flop very often. Turn and river you're turning a hand into a bluff where nothing worse calls and almost nothing better folds. I don't like it.

Thanks a lot riverdiver, then was my feeling right... Felt like the worst of my hand that day. But you put words to my feeling, I made a hand whit showdown value in to a pure bluff hand.

In this hand, should I re-raise river?

Yes raise river, because
1) hes a fish. he will call with a lot worse
2) hard to put him on a better flush. any Ax or Kx hearts should bet the flop.

Pre's good.

I bet flop and just keep firing on most turns. However I'm also unsure whether this is good or not? I'd like to hear others' opinions.

I have been thinking a lot about when to bet the river and when not to bet the river. Feels like there is a lot of ppl who like to hunt down bluffs. This feels like an okey river bet, even thou the is showing aggression on the turn. Is my feeling right? (faced two river slowplays today, so I start to get unsure about things.)

4NL fast poker, against an unknown... Gosh I hate when that happends... Any quick thoughts?

I prob wouldnt of open this hand if there was a raise in front, but fold to me on the BTN, fight in the SB and Nit in the BB.

Checked to me, took a stab here as i was prob viewed as tight so with the A there, kind of hits my range.

After the call im think hearts draw, check to me so i bet again as i actually have a hand and showdown value.

Call again thinking heart draw still, surely i be raised if he had an Ace. Improve on the River again, i call his shove, but i was always betting if checked to.

This all standard and my thought process ok? Villan was 47/0
