1) Fold flop, you don't have a strong hand and a bet+raise usually shows strength.

2) Nice hand

3) Call, you don't have top pair, backdoor flushdraw arrived on the river and if he has a bluff you won't get anything extra from it anyway.

4) Not too sure, it looks a bit LAGgy, but I like it.


1) Fold flop.

2) Nice. :)

3) Call is fine. You are not often enough to raise.

4) Bet/call on the flop check/fold turn if raised else bet/fold and check/call river (bet/fold this river).

1) I see. I'm still not sure why I played this way. It looks strange even for me. Maybe it was how those players were playing, maybe I don't fear blinds enough.
(even stranger: I won that hand)

2) Nice to know. Lost to KhQh from SB.

3) Just what I thought.

4) Understood.

4) mh you are silver and you play sh so i think it´s ok to say that a raise preflop would be better imo :)

The SH chart for 2 limpers shows 'raise with ATo+, call with A9o'. I think that the blinddefense chart is only used when there's exactly one raise before you, isn't it?

Btw, I don't play SH. Just giving it a try :P

i think this special situation isn´t covered in the silver chart but imo it´s a raise nevertheless
