After a long and horrible downswing, tilt and a cashout, I am trying to regain some confidence in my game and would like to ask for you opinion:

**** Hand 1 **

Villiain is LAG, loves to raise and 3bet with Draws. My opinion: he is a lucky fuckbastard!

Pre-flop: (3 players) unluckywarrior is SB with A♠ A♥
Button folds, unluckywarrior raises, BB 3-bets, unluckywarrior calls.

Flop: T♦ 2♣ K♦ (6SB, 2 players)
unluckywarrior checks, BB bets, unluckywarrior raises, BB calls.

Turn: 7♣ (5BB, 2 players)
unluckywarrior bets, BB raises, unluckywarrior 3-bets, BB caps, unluckywarrior calls.

River: 4♣ (13BB, 2 players)
unluckywarrior checks, BB bets, unluckywarrior calls.

Results:
Final pot: 15BB

* Hand 2 *****
Villiain= Manzanuki, Spanish TAG playing X tables at a time.

Pre-flop: (6 players) unluckywarrior is BB with K♣ K♦
UTG raises, 2 folds, Button calls, SB folds, unluckywarrior 3-bets, UTG calls, Button calls.

Threebet preflop, UTG doesn't cap: estimated Range: PPs, K10s+, A9s+

Flop: Q♥ 8♦ 9♠ (9.4SB, 3 players)
unluckywarrior bets, UTG calls, Button folds.

Turn: 7♦ (5.7BB, 2 players)
unluckywarrior bets, UTG calls.

River: T♦ (7.7BB, 2 players)
unluckywarrior bets, UTG raises, unluckywarrior folds.

I have to valuebet, a Q and a 10 calls me. Flush and Straightdraws get there, so I play Bet/Fold. IMO BET/CALL is overplayed against Manzanuki.

Uncalled bets: 1BB returned to UTG.

Results:

Final pot: 9.7BB

In retroperspective, I don't like my fold. He could have had 10 10, but that is the only hand he could play like that that I have beat.

Hi superstar84,

I can't remember you here around. Welcome to our english board. :)

1) Cap preflop? No need to just call against a LAG. Postflop is good. As you said he probably got lucky. :/

2) Hmm he wouldn't cap a lot more hands if he is a TAG. A LAG might have the range you gave him but a PS.com TAG for example would have JJ+, AKs only (if playing by the chart).
I don't see him raising any worrse hand as well so I agree with your fold. The thing that you regret it might be because of your downswing. Or did he dhow you a bluff? TT would beat you aas well or did I understood you wrong?

True, 10 10 beats me as well.

Was quite confused, I guess.

I posted this hand because I was relatively sure it was right, but some people on the german board questioned the river bet (which is right, IMO).


2) The bet is close indeed. But I see him calling KT and AT. You don't beat much more if you check anyway and he might even check these behind. I don't give him a Q very often as he probably would have raised the flop with it.

That is true. Thank you very much!
