PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $2.00 (100 bb)
MP: $1.91 (96 bb)
CO: $1.21 (61 bb)
BU: $2.36 (118 bb)
SB: $5.85 (293 bb)
BB (Hero): $2.23 (112 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with A 9
2 players fold, CO calls $0.02, 1 fold, SB raises to $0.10, Hero calls $0.08, CO calls $0.08

Flop: ($0.30) A 3 6 (3 players)
SB bets $0.15, Hero calls $0.15, CO folds

Turn: ($0.60) 8 (2 players)
SB bets $0.18, Hero calls $0.18

River: ($0.96) 4 (2 players)
SB bets $0.26, BB (Hero) folds

Do we fold here pre-flop? our hand seems kind of too good to fold, I know we can be dominated by the kicker but we have suited hand and will be playing IP versus the aggressor,

PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 4 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $1.31 (66 bb)
BU (Hero): $3.41 (171 bb)
SB: $1.00 (50 bb)
BB: $4.73 (237 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with J K
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.06, SB 3-bets to $0.20, 1 fold, BU (Hero) folds

maybe against a tight player here we fold? otherwise should we 4-bet bluff or flat?

Hand #1
I'd like to hear arguments for and against re-raising pre-flop, and for and against raising OTF -- kicker figures into it for sure.

In other words, It is a very puzzling hand.

Hand #2
4Bet Bluff against a 100 BB Stack, but it SB is playing a proper mid-stack-strategy, you're behind his range, and the implied odds aren't there.

Again, I really want to hear what other think in this spot...

First hand I would call the river with the nice odds you get. Offcourse you could be dominated or against a flush, but you need to win 17,6% of the time to make the call profitable.

2nd hand seems fine. With position I wouldn't 4bet bluff to often.
