2 more live hands

Postby iceman5 » Tue Feb 20, 2007 10:24 am

$2/$5 NL live

#1) Asian guy from my big QJs vs KK hand (hand #6) limps in EP. This hand was before that big one. Action man raises to $15. I call in the BB with [3d][4d]. I hate this hand but its only $10 more and this guy is BAD post flop. EP also calls.

Pot $45. Flop [8h][3h][3c]. I check, EP checks, Action man bets $35. I check raise to $135. EP cold calls and action man folds.

Asian guy is way too loose calling raises preflop but he seems toplay pretty well post flop from what Ive seen.

Pot $315. Turn [Ts]. I bet $200 and he calls.
Pot $715. River [5c]. Whats my play? We both have at least $700 left. I forget the exact amount.

#2) A LAG in EP raises to $15. He raises to $15 alot and Ive seen 54s, , KTs, QJs and Q2s. Hes BAD post flop. He lost something like $750 with QJ on a AAJJx board after he raised preflop and got check raised on that AAJ flop. He also lost a huge pot after raising KTs, flopping a flush and getting check raised HUGE on a 4th spade on the turn.

I reraise to $100 with [Ah][Kd] in the BB. Only the LAG calls.

Pot $220. Flop [Kh][Qd][Jh]. He has about $700 and I cover. What do I do?

Hand1. IMO it's a pretty obvoius check/call, or a 'block' bet of about 150 intending to call a push. I like 'block' bet a bit more than a check/call as there is some chance that he'll call with 8x, though I doubt that he has it often here. I assume that most of his range are flush draws here. There are, of course, some big hands too, but I doubt that you can get away from your hand here.

Hand2. I would start with checking, I wouldn't want to play big pot there.

P.S. I have NO live experience, so some advice could be a bit off.

1) check-call b/c i think he'll have the heart draw mostly. though i kinda doubt he would bet it. hmm. i dunno it just doesn't feel right leading here again.
2) crai. i was gonna say lead w/ an overbet, but since he's a bad lag, he'll bet for you. i'm pretty confident w/ AK here.

WOW. Have people just lost complete interest in poker the past 2 weeks? The NL section in general is dead and I wouldve thought my live hands wouldve gotten more interest.

#1) I checked the river and thank god he checked behind because he had [Qc][3c].

#2) I absoutely hated that flop. If I bet and get called, theres no way I can bet again, but he clould have any number of pair and draws hands that im ahead of. He could have 2 pair, a flush draw, whatever. I hated the hand and based on the hands he had previously showed down when he raised $15, I had a really bad feeling. He bet $200 after i checked and he did it with authority.

I would about never do this but I folded face up and asked him to show me his monster. He showed [Th][9h]

I didnt mean for this to be a brag post. Im not sure if Im a genius or just weak tight. Either way, I didnt like the spot I was in and decided to just move on.

I had the same hand today without the flush draw on the flop.

I pushed the flop and villain called with J10. I think AK on KQJ board is an incredibly tought spot in a raised / reraise pot.
