1) raise preflop vs. the completer
in this case: call flop/raise turn and i think the river is a thin value bet too ?!

2) i would play wa/wb but i think you can fold the turn after the 3 bet

3) i like it

4) again i would play wa/wb (but i think i do it too often ^^) but even if you want to raise then i think its better to call the flop and raise the turn. its not easy to throw away tp/gk in hu... so i think wa/wb is best

5) puh without a read i would call this down. he could have a flushdraw or something like A9

6) i´ve posted xx of those hands and i never got an clear answer
without any reads i would fold it but this could be too weak.

btw: don´t take my answers too serious. wait for a coach who knows what hes talking about

and btw: 35BB down is NOTHING

1) raise preflop.

you hand: call flop, raise turn, bet river

2) c/r flop, bet turn. I'm a bit unsure about the river. probably c/c

3) I raise the turn and calldown after that (bet river if he only calls)
He won't c/r a fd here because he knocks out his "value"

4) looks fine

frzl. you need to raise the flop to knock out CO.

5) calldown. he might use the scarecard to bluff or semibluff with a fd. or even he goes for call flop, raise turn with A9

6) Hah I like these hands too.... I belief they are one of the hardest one to play well. But first of all donk donk into him.

I just take a guess: c/r flop, b/f turn, c/f river. otherwise: c/c flop, c/f turn, c/c river (e might check a smaller opp behind on the turn and bluff/valuebets the river.

1) So my pair of 8's with A kicker is still good with the turn K? What to do if he 3-bets? Calldown/Fold?

Do i always have to play top-pair this way in a HU situation?(call flop/raise turn) Even if the Turn is an overcard to my pair?

hmm I guess I would call it down anyway. Again the stats decide here

Often enough its good, yes.

To a 3-bet we can fold or call if we have the odds for it (I guess an Ace would be around 1.5 outs and the 8 too) So nearly always fold to a 3-bet (not against maniacs or people on tilt)
