Two more 36 hands

Hectorjelly

Im getting sick of posting 36 hands, I feel like ive been at this level forever -its kind of boring now. I really need to stop spending money... anyway here are two almost interesting decisions

1st hand. This is 6 handed during the day, so nothing too crazy going on. The villain is tight and good, we are often at the same table for hours without playing a hand against each other. Its remarkable how at 36 the good players often just stay out of each others way. He limps utg, he does this a bit so probably isnt a big hand. All fold to the sb who completes. I have AKc on the bb and make it 30 to go. I have been raising a far bit at this table, but not out of position (which is probably something i should think about). Utg calls, sb folds. The flop is TTJ with 2 clubs, giving me 2 overcards and a gutshot royal flush draw, as well as the nut flush draw obv. Whats the best plan for the hand? He has 450 and I cover.

I bet out 50 and he made it 80 more. I think there is a good chance he will play back at me on this type of board assuming that I wouldnt lead with a monster. Fold, call reraise?

Hand 2 I get KK utg + 1. This is late at night at a table of donks. I make it 30. The cutoff calls, the button calls and the sb calls. The flop is 338r. The sb checks, I check, cutoff bets 96, the button calls. The sb folds and I? I think calling here gives away the stength of my hand anyway, so I think the only real choices are fold or all in. I could be wrong though! I have 600, the cutoff has 450 and the button has 200.

Hand 1 i pump all-in. I wanna get all the chips in now, if you just flat call it looks suspicious and also you prob wont get paid if you hit the flush draw. Again its a tough one here and another example opf why i hate been OOP so much!

Hand2: Again all-in, the button may have a 3 and if he does then so be it. I would have bet small on the flop looking weak,like an AK that missed. A check-raise here looks very strong and chances are cutoff will fold an 8 or higher pocket pair to this check-raise whereas if you lead for about 1/2 the pot he will hopefully reraise

Hand 2 - c/r allin sounds good.

Hand 1 - is tougher and depends on Mr. Utg. What will he limp/call with, and will he lay down anything? I like to raise more from the blinds here, maybe 36, or 42, as 30 seems to easy to limp/call.

When this guy calls preflop he has at worst KQs, and i think he probably folds that. He probably would lay down a lot to me, basically he needs a ten to continue. If I push I think he will put me on AA and play accodingly, allthough I would never play AA like that (I think that he wouldnt know that).

As for preflop, would you really raise so much out of the blinds with just the one limper? Ive been making it 30 preflop at 3/6 pretty much irregardless of position/limpers to as to not give away any preflop tells. I think its actually too big a raise most of the time than is optium, but I prefer to err on the side off too much. I find I pick up a lot from the other good players with their preflop bet size amount, plus its easierwhen trying to raise on 3 tables at the same time.

1) If you have been raising alot then I think we could probably put hands like KQ, AJ in hus range considering he has position and likes to limp alot UTG. If we check, we can't be sure that he will bet so I bet out, about 50 like you did. When he raises I just push AI, I see him folding underpairs and any J and your draw is ahead of most of the rest of his range.

2) Well I don't think you're folding so I guess its AI.

What about minraising to $192, say the cut-off calls and then when the Button goes AI (comitted) the action comes back to you and you can AI on a now pot comitted cut-off?


Also I think PF raising 5bb is plenty for 3/6.
