HAND 1

Villian 1 is impatient, he got stacked already once and is playing aggressive. Villian 2 is a smart, very LAG player.

Effective stacks: Villian 1- $125
Villian 2- $700
Hero $ 240

Hero has 3,3

Preflop: UTG limps, several calls, Villian 1 raises to 12, Villian 2 calls 12, Hero calls 12 on button, MP calls 12.

Pot(~52)

Flop: 5s, 4s, 3c

MP checks, Villian 1 bets $25, Villian 2 calls $25, Hero calls $25, one folds.

Pot (~127)

Turn 4d

Villian 1 bets $50, Villian 2 calls $50 hesitantly, Hero moves in for $175 approximately.

The flop flat was questionable, i know. But i've been card dead and really wanted to build a big pot so i slow played it, even with the draws out there. What do we think about the turn though?


Hand 2


I observed the table shortly before sitting down, and Villian 1 appears to be aggressive, decent player. He straddled and raised his straddle on one occasion if that means anything.

My cards are AK off

Effective stacks: Hero and Villian have about $250

Preflop: Villian limps EP, two limpers, i'm in the SB so i make it $15, Villian calls, two folds.

Flop: Kc, Jc, 9d

Hero bets $25, Villian calls $25.

Turn: 7x

Hero checks, Villian bets $45, Hero waits 10 seconds and moves all in for $200 more.

First hand: flat call is awful, you know it, I know it, we all know it. Turn play is standard.

Second hand: what is the turn card?

What does being card dead have to do with wanting to build a pot?
