DonkSlayer 1 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Talk to me about the hands in general.1. $1/$2 PLHero in the SB with :icon_dance: Table has a high av. pot. Villain is LAG preflop but hasn't gotten out of line postflop much. Hero has $100~, Villain has $400~Villain (UTG) raises to pot ($9~). Folds to Hero in the SB who calls, BB folds.Flop Hero checks. Villain bets the pot. Hero raises the pot and is essentially allin. 2. $.5/$1 PL. Villain has called a lot of small raises preflop but I haven't seen him show down a hand and really have no read. Hero $55~, Villain $60~Hero in the SB with Folds to Hero who completes, Villain raises to $2, Hero calls. Flop Hero checks. Villain pots ($4~), Hero waits a few seconds and calls.Turn Hero checks. Villain bets $5. Hero raises to $20. Villain times all the way down and re-pots to put Hero allin. Hero? Link to post Share on other sites

Shark527 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hand 1. Pushing is good. About the best board for top two pair you can really get. Your ahead of AA and a couple broadway cards for some sort of straight draw. Hand 2. You've put around half your stack in on the turn so he should know your not folding to a reraise. Villian could have something like an AK here. I call also. Link to post Share on other sites

Merby 3 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 My bad, fixed.No worries, I was just having some fun.In the second hand, the timing tell would be telling me that you're probably up against a monster, but I still cannot find it in me to fold second nuts here (you are losing too much EV if you allow a timing tell to make you fold second nuts). For the record, I like your line on this hand (check-call flop, check-raise turn) although I will sometimes check-raise this flop or lead at this flop to mix it up. Blind versus blind battles are so fun, and I really like to mix it up in these situations. Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 If anything, I call because of the fact he timebanked it on the 2nd hand. K9 doesn't timebank, but AK or Kx does imo. Link to post Share on other sites
