The river of life has a powerful beat

Cpl of $1/$2 hands for ya.

Hero is playing somewhere between 28/24-33/26 - not that these guys are likely to notice.

Hand 1. Villain is a moron and looks like a station. Earlier he open limped K8s, called a raisee and c/c some streets from with flopped middle pair.

They both look entirely standard.
I fold in hand 2 despite the odds

ianmc38

I think both hands are perfect though I dont like opening to 5. I prefer opening to 7.

BuChan

yeah, what's the logic behind opening to 5? is that your standard line with all hands?

sikes

i think 5 is good from LP, EP i dont like it.

Macspower

look perfectly played to me on all streets...

I like the value bet on the river in hand 1 and hand 2 is a definate bet for value and fold to raise type of situation.

Still curious about the raise to 5 that you use....

Captain Tom

both look good.

Both are very good. Would like to here more behind your reasoning for opening for 5 these days. Also, you are playing much laggier these days, yes?

BobSloane

I would not be able to resist calling in hand 2 at that price. I can't put him on much that beats you as played except Ac7c - but its probably a good fold , i'm a payoff wizard.
Hand 1 looks well played on all streets. Good betting.

Playing stats 28/24 and 33/26 you're probaly better off raising a bit less than 7 or 8 but maybe 6 instead of 5. You are still trying to steal the blinds after all!
