1) Hand:

Table is 1/2 NL but max buy-in is $60. Table is full of deep Stacks, and most players are absolutely horrible, limping and calling any raise and chaising any draw out there. Still most players involved in this hand has manage to build large stacks when their draws hit and where payed.

MP1 ($500) - C.O. ($150) - Button ($160) .- Hero ($200~)

5 limpers to me on the BB

Flop ($10)
Checked..

Turn ($10)

Hero check, MP1 Bet$20 called by Co and Button.- Hero Raise to ($80)... MP1 goes All In; Co and Button call ... Hero? pukes? or easy call?

2) Hand.

2/3 NL ($200) Buy In.- Villian is aggresive semi-decent player, I've seen him makes some mistakes, but is not that bad. we both have $330 stacks or so.

2 limpers, Villian Raise to $18 from MP2, Button Calls, I raise to $50 on the SB with . A reraise like that in this table definitly means a strong hand. Villian keeps staring at me for a while like challenging me... basiclly he knows I have a big hand and yet he calls... Button Folds.

Flop ($120~)
Hero Bets $140 ... Villians goes ALL IN... Hero?

#1 is a very easy call. You're scared of, um, QQ 99 Q8. QQ is very unlikely because it was a limped pot. 99 and Q8 are both pretty unlikely just because so few combinations of those cards are out there. Also if you're against 99 here you're destined to go broke, no way around it.

My guess is most of the time the other 3 players have some combination of (8x, JT, club draw). Actually, with all those callers, you may be winning less than 50% of the time here. But with the huge pot and the tiny amount you have left to call, you only have to win like 1 time in 6 to make it a +EV call. It's super obvious that you are ahead that often.

#2 you have to be kidding. You got $50 in preflop and put in another $140 on the flop and now you're wondering whether to put in the last $140? He has KK-JJ way more often than 88 77 44 here. If the board was KQJ I could find a fold, not here.
