[QUOTE=MiHaA;46219346] Thanks for the advice, I don't think I'll donk too much until I have more reads/stats & knowledge. Being oop vs an unknown & not knowing what to do on what texture will definitely lead to me bleeding some bb/100.

+1 That sounds good to me, incidentally these can also be the best spots to bluff donk too!

I played this hand correctly? I think that I played, but I'm not quite sure
I think that the villain should have Ax hands when we get to the river
I assume Villain to check behind all weak hands so thats why donk.

Looks ok to me. I like the lead on the river, gets value out of hands with sd value that xb river. Having said that, competent villains can exploit this by raising all their value hands that they would have bet the river with anyway. On top of this they can also try and bluff you off with all of their missed draws and even stuff like Acx that knows they probably wont win at sd - I'm suprised he didn't raise river to like 30bb actually...

Take this with a pinch of salt though I'm not that good hehe.


I also have a hand to checkup.

Flat is ok pre I think? I am way ahead of his opening range and his 3bet calling range is probably too tight for us to be 3betting for value here, until we know more about him anyway.

Flop doesn't hit his range very hard at all, only thing I have to be scared of is overpairs and sets, so I think raising is fine? If he 3bets flop, depending on sizing I think we just flat and evaluate turn.

Turn is actually a pretty good card imo because he probably doesn't think that we are barreling our draws ip anymore and there are also a couple of 4x hands that are in our range still. Sizing being small serves two purposes, the first being that it makes us look strong and sets up a good jam size otr. Could my sizing be bigger here? I feel like if we do make it bigger it makes it easier for him to call with 1 pair hands otr. But also it could make him fold them ott, I am really not sure.

His range at this point is a lot of overpairs, 9x hands and a few missed club draws and random low pocket pairs that haven't let go yet. Because I think he will fold pretty much all of this, I jam.

Please rip my thought process apart for analysis of both hands.

Hand vs an OK reg

wp. I think he has enough AK/AQ on the flop/turn to continue, plus you have plenty of outs against flush/KQ. River seems like a call to me, he'll prob shove with flush and straights and some worse boats I think.



10NLz, villain is 16/7 over 46 hands.



My thoughts are shove, but against QQ+, AK it's bad right?

Hi guys, I had a quick look at the FAQ and I hope this is the right forum to post the hands for quick review, otherwise my apologies.

What do you guys think of the minraise on the river here? I'm expecting some value from lesser kings, though I'm ready to fold to reraise.

i'd check back the turn, i'd expect anything that called the flop to call the turn, esp with that bet size. i'd want a solid read to shove the river there, i don't think you can have that after 8 hands with the guy

also you can expect your hand to be best more often than never

unless i've been 3betting him loads i'd just call

yeah this is a cash forum, there is another forum for sit n gos and tournaments. i've got no idea on the hand, but fwiw i'd fold

i don't think that is a good spot to cbet.

not sure about the river. i'd say he's got significantly more missed draws and JQs in his range than weaker kings, so i'd probably favour checking

edit. actually thinking about it more i can't see him having that many missed draws except KQ and KJ, I still think checking is better though, i'd say QJ is a bigger part of his range than those hands, considering his flop action and that two kings are out.

Doh!! Sorry - I just saw it :/ - Thanks anyway

Crazy action pre-flop. Haven't learned how to fold KK PF yet.

That's because you shouldn't be folding there.

Indeed. I'v only ever seen 1 hand I can remember where I think someone should have legitimately folded KK pre. This hand isn't even close.

Cooler.

Getting back to poker after like 1 year of not really playing. Im grinding from 10$ and up and thus NL2.




Looking OK?

What do you guys think about this spot? After just checking in from the BB, I can't remember why I just checked the flop, I think because Villain on button that folded turn was kind of an aggro maniac, maybe thought he was going to bet it OTF.
Is this a nitty call OTR? At the time, I felt like there couldn't have been much that I was ahead of, although I guess I could have gotten value out of a Q, especially since I checked OTF.
What kind of range would you guys put V on after he checks flops, 3bets turn and bets river? V is 27/18 over (239) hands.

Raise pre. Hand is strong enough + pos on SB.

Bet flop. I'm folding turn. People don't bluff here and he's a reg so it has to be a higher jack.

Even thinking about shoving is awful.

Villain is TAG reg. Basic spot. I'm lost. Value in betting?

V is 49/7 over 110 hands. What should I do here on the turn? I'm sure V is playing any ace that is thrown his way, so I'm beat here a vast majority of the time I would assume. Should I be betting it, folding to a raise or if I get called just hoping to have the river go c/c?
