Push both

EDIT: I would play both these hands much more aggressively. Don't slowplay here at all.

RoundTower

1. call and expect to lose

2. call and expect to win. I could just about understand push.

I don't really like your play in these hands, if I had to single one part out it would be the turn play in hand 2.

I prefer to bet the flop in hand 1. Based on his stas hes more than likely QQ/KK/AA. He doesnt seem scared of the paired board though so maybe calling is better unless he'd call a push with an overpair.

I dont like the open limp in hand 2. As RT said, i dont like the check on the turn either. I'd probably bet the flop as well. I raise here every time.

Why are you guys calling in hand 1 ?
I like a shove.

I like a shove in hand 2 also - he can have lots of hands that are behind us and will call.

Hectorjelly

Yeah hand 2 I shove, he has a flush
hand 1 there is a good chance he has QQ, I think I would just call.

I hate your play in both hands up those points

Doesn't seem too likely that the SB has QQ in hand 1 tbh. Something like A5dd seems probable.

Oh whoops I thought villain in hand 1 was UTG.

In Hand 1 i reraise and villian pushes and shows 33 for the lower house.


Hand 2: Quote Ian Mac-I dont like the open limp in hand 2. As RT said, i dont like the check on the turn either.

In a 6 handed game i'll open limp with small pps and hope for set value.If I open raise and am reraised well more than likely i'll have to fold so i tend to stick with the former.Is my reasoning about this flawed?


Explain why i should bet the turn herei n Hand 2 ?I have the deck pretty much crippled bar a higher house.If a spade hits i feel i'll get paid more because Villian might think i wont put him on it. If i bet on turn the ONLY hands calling are someone with a 7 or a really strong draw.


Criticisms please.I will post hand two results after responses

I thought he was the preflop raiser

You bet the turn to build the pot. This is absolutely crucial - you need to make the pot as big as possible with your monster hands. Checking 2 streets with a house and a tiny pot is incredibly bad play. All sorts of hands call you; dont worry about that. Also you need to charge flush draws because they wont put any more money into the pot if they miss
