10NL & Beyond!

I missed the 2 pair on the river. I guess its a value shove according to him. Cos he figures he has you beat with his 2 pairs.

Some more hands and a few more banks.

Hand -1 - I'd prefer to fold pre without reads and being out of position. As played, I actually like the shove here over a raise as I think at these stakes we'll get called by worse a lot.

Hand 5 - I think folding here is better than calling to be honest.

All the other hands are standard. Can't do much there. Well played!

Hand 1: I will fold most of the times as hand doesn't play well in 3-bet pot and I am out of position, flush don't hit most of the times and we are dominated by KQ, AK and we end up loosing our stack.

Hand 2: Standard hand, can't do much. Except that we must avoid scaring away by over-bet shove as some Kx hands might fold out.

Hand 5: I might fold too when I am playing right and end up calling If I am on tilt ♦

Hey thanks both!!

Yeah Mahnak same goes with me for hand 5 . FOld if its your first hand of the session and insta call when tilted. ♦

Hand 1 - check raise wasn't necessary, qj dominates you and all other hands will fold for check-raise. Even sets will end up folding wont get value from them. Instead choose to bet all three streets.

Yeah Should have bet bet.. neways I don't think I could have folded there.

I'll evaluate the two sets of hands separately.

First set.

AJ - Why take this line against a fish. I prefer to steal small pots from them and wait for a big hand to play a big pot. Atleast top pair good kicker.

QJ - Why min raise? Either put in a proper raise or float this flop with a gut shot. I prefer floating and trying to take it on the turn.

Set 2

KK hand - The re raise is too small. That's one of the scariest board to have with a set. I'd raise it to at least $2.7 or so. I think the ideal play here is to raise it to $3 as it sets up the hand perfectly for a shove on the turn.

J9 - Why raise river? What worse hands do you think will call. You might be ahead of him but no worse hands will call that raise. Considering that you have the 9 gives you even more reason to call.

In the AQ hand, you could consider folding here if villain is a nit. If he is a fish you could re raise flop itself. Not sure if I like the call on the flop. What were your thoughts.

Hey Clawin. Thanks for the update. In AQ hand villain is fish. So I called.

What range did you put him on while calling?

I put him on Pair+ Gutshot, Pair + FLush draw and two pair. Since the re raise was not big enough I decided to peel one street and see. Once the ace comes I was pretty sure I am leading.

Pair +gutshot isn't possible. Considering its a 3bet pot. I think either raise flop or just call turn. I don't like the shove on the turn. Don't see many worse hands calling.

Put some more hands and VPP bar @ 60% now.

Hand 1

That's a pretty wet board. I'd raise flop itself. As played, your turn raise should be a lot more. When a player bets so low after betting the flop, it usually means they're on a draw (but obv its not a rule for all opponents).

River is a tough spot. He looks weak but I don't know how many worse hands will call the shove. Hence I think a call is better. What do you think?

Hand 6

Your thoughts please on this hand.

Hand 1 - You should raise more on turn. Infact i would raise atleast $5.5 - $6. As played, i would prefer to just call on river as draw completed.

Hand 6 - You can make 3-bet to 4x when oop. Why flop shove? Potentially you could drive away all semi-worse hands you could get value for one or two streets.

Hand 1.

Yes, raising seems correct now but since villain is a fish and a small 3bet pre made me think he is playing a weak ace and I wanted to lure him into the pot. Anyways note made

Hand 6

This is the second or third time I 3bet that guy in a row. I thought he might be tilted and make a call with worse. Not the best thinking lol.
But anyways if he hit something that beats can I find a fold on the turn or river?

Well, to make fold his stats would help us more. What type of player he is? Fish or Tight player, etc.

To be honest against a normal player who doesn't bluff too much, I'd bet fold the flop on the KK hand.
