Hand 1:Bet it all day. What makes you think he has a 6?Hand 2:I bet this also. He might have AK or KQ or something like that, but he doesn't have to. What do we do in this case if we are raised?-------------On a sidenote, how did you enjoy the maniac at our table?

with only two going to the river in the first one, i bet the river. three i might check behind.hand 2: check is ok.

Really? A check on the river for hand 2? I mean I would too, but it doesnt seem right.

Bet both.Especially hand 2 as any K is betting if checked to him but worse hands are checking behind.

hand 2: check is ok.If you hate money.Come on, what's the theory, someone's check/raising K8? Or that they called 900 bets with AK with 3 outs?Bet it.Sure you mighjt lose to JJ or whatever anyway, but if you fold JJ or whatever 1 time in 30 it's a good bet, not to mention you're ahead a lot.good luck.

I wouldn't cap the flop in hand 1. Protecting vulnerable hands, and all that shit.You missed a river bet in hand 2.

hand 1 i'm afraid that some connecting hand made two pair, but give the texture, positions, etc etc i think i can find a river bet there.hand 2 i personally usually check, but i am almost certain that is a mistake. in middle position in a multi-way pot, with a vulnerable hand like mine i almost always check and regret it. looking at this hand reminds me a lot of hands i have, but i have more time to think about it.thanks - i have bigger problems than missing river bets, so i haven't posted a hand like this, but this'll help me plug a leak.so don't make the same mistake as me...bet this river.

You missed a huge value bet at the first pot. Given the different positions, I'd say UTG had a hand like K10 and the rest probably had A7 considering it's a 2-4 game.The second pot, either way it's an iffy play. If you did bet and he raised, oh well, you make the call and lose a BB. But if you didn't bet and he turned over J10, you missed a big +ev situation. Either way that is a tough river to play.

hand 1 is speculative butmajority seems to agree on bet for hand 2so for hand2, will it be bet/fold or bet/callthe pot seems to be big enough to make it a bet/call although being raised in the first place makes tells us that were beat defeat.
