hand 1 is missing turn and river cards.

MrPillowTalk

Hand 1 is missing cards, I probably fold to the third barrell.

Hand 2 Id snapcall he can have tons of hands you beat

Hand 3 is tough, looks like something like QxQd, is he likely to overbet shove a made hand here? your hand looks like a lone King and he probably has you on KQ KJ etc is he capable of smashing it in on a scarecard?

BobSloane

I call hand 2 anyway. If he's got QQ its a pretty big cooler.
I'd probably fold hand 3. AK with the ace of diamonds looks likely?

fuzzbox

prolly fold hand 1, although in the moment I may well press the call button "because I induced it".

hand 2 I call for sure

hand 3. Anybody like bet/folding the turn?

ianmc38

sorry edited hand 1

BobSloane

If he's very aggro does he have the missed flush draw or air here 1/3 of the time? I'd say its very possible. Whats his general MO from the button?

cardshark202

Hand 1 is close, I would call given hes so aggressive
Hand 2 easiest call ever
Hand 3 bet/fold turn sounds good. Far less exploitable too.

ianmc38

1. I was the villain. I had 9cTc. He instacalled my river bet.

2. He had 22. No miracle river.

3. I was the villain again here. I had A2 no diamonds. Again, bet was instacalled.

Moral of the story, I suck at bluffing

Mr.Plough

hand 1 is very thin givin hes (youve) been so aggro. i could call or fold and feel good about either, slightly leaning towards a river fold.

hand 2 i go broke here nearly always.

hand 3 against a good aggressive player i fold this. against an average player i'd call though.

Van Dice

Trying not to be results oriented, but I think 1 and 2 are clear calls. Don't like the bluff in hand 3 either, it doesn't really represent a hand imo, but he did have a hand at the top of his range. I think the part of his range that will fold to a bluff, will fold to a smaller bet than a shove though

Bluff in hand 1 probably works when your image is better

ianmc38

I dont know about 1. yes my image is aggro, but I was well aware of this. Villain in the hand was Theao3 who seems to be decent fwiw. Im representing either a big hand or air against whats an obvious JJ-AA. I think his call is very thin on the river as I only ever have AQ, KQs, a boat or air here. Im not going bananas with 88 or TT here for value.

2 yeah i wasnt sure. Just thsoe overbet shoves are always the nuts or close to it. I almost folded thinking he ahd exactly that hand. But i guess im probs being results oriented.

Why doesnt the bluff in hand 3 represent a hand? I think it clearly represents a flush, a set, some kind of combo draw or air.

Van Dice

Yeah his hand is face up, but he prob looks at the flop, your stats, and thinks 'I'm check-calling every street'. He doesn't like his hand but he's not folding to someone so aggressive, and every bet of yours he probably expects you to fire with a ton of your range. Obv you either have boat/Q/air.

Leaving aside image, what do you think of the merits of betting 300 or so on the river rather than 455?

ianmc38

when i was analysing my session i thought that was probably the mistake in the hand. Whatever about image, I think a smaller river bet was more likely to get through than the near psb i put in

I wish I had got to this thread before the results, but I would call all three. Hand 1 im literally instacalling. I think this is a very bad bluff. Everyone goes mental bluffing on paired boards, so its really not a good idea. Also he has taken a check call line, nothing changed in the hand and theres no reason to think he is going to fold.

Hand 3 is similar, it doesnt look like you want a call, and that you are representing diamonds. You may have a set but id call anyway.

A big problem I see is that you describe yourself as aggro. If your image is aggro at a table then you really shouldn't be making big bluffs, always play against your image; especially in big pots. The time for doing stuff like hand 1 (which is basically never anyway) is when you have been very cautious and timid recently Not when you have the image of someone who could be bluffing.

Surprised Thea called there,I would expect a fold from him most of the time there hes a pretty big nit.

Cos the SBs range looks like either a flush or some weakish one pair hands. From his point of view, why would you shove a set or a flush against that range? That leaves combo draws or air...
