Full Version: Two Hands For Thought.

Someone recently posted a topic concerning folding bottom set and I said given board and circumstances I would most likely fold (Post was titled: "Am I cool enough to fold bottom set here?"). So this first hand is semi similar to it but I opted to call because I was given more info on opponents hands based on preflop action. CO seems like standard TAG. SB is tight/passive it seems. Only have 26 hands logged but he has limped only a few and raised none.

What do you think? CO seems to have obvious overpair or AK and I plan on folding 33 as he doesnt have enough behind him to give me implied odds...but then SB cold calls his reraise. Seeing how tight he's been playing this is probably 1010+ or AK as well. Well my odds just went through the roof so I cold call. When SB bets out I can cold call knowing CO will inevitably push. Then when it comes back around I make push. Standard? Anyone fold? To justify I feel that at best Im against an overpair and an A or K of hearts. I dont see either player with 88 or 99 (CO isnt light reraiser and SB being so tight) and I think only player capable of flopping nut flush and playing it as such is SB and even then I'm not sure he would bet it out.


Here's another dandy. Opponent was something like 22/4/2.2 Not many hands played with him though. Hand is unconverted because hand converter site went down after I converted 1st hand

Call this? Fold? Push? Reraise? Ugh. I suppose I should've folded preflop. Min raise sucked me in. Min bet on flop was strange as well. Obviously JJ, 88, AJ, and AA all have me crushed (even an unlikely QK). However, I almost called because of the unorthodox way he played it. Almost made me think he might play AK as such sometimes? His line was just too strange. Min bet flop, call raise. Min raise turn bet by me. I feel if I call and he leads out strong on river I have to fold unless I catch a boat and even then a 10 could spell disaster to a higher boat. Too weak?

hand 1- I don't see myself folding this, I'd put CO on KK or AA but probably has a heart also. SB is tough to put on a hand, 26 hands isn't enough info to say he has to have TT+. It's still unlikely that he has a set though. I think I play it the same as you on the flop.

hand 2- Playing ATo out of position sucks, I fold the SB preflop at a full ring table.

Yea for hand 2 I'm not sure why I called preflop. It was the min bet. So many people min bet Ace rag or weaker hands but in retrospect if I took a closer look and saw he only raises 4 percent of his hands I would've folded.

That's no excuse!!!!!!

No, I'm just kidding.

The converter has been fricken annoying lately going down every so often. It's driving me nuts.
