#2) 5 limpers and I have [3s] in the BB and check.

Pot $30. Flop [7h][6s]. I lead $25 and get called twice. No real reads at this point.

Pot $105. Turn . I check, MP checks, button bets $40. I call and MP calls.

Pot $225. River . Whats my play? MP has around $500.. Button $400.. I cover.


#3) Couple limpers after "action man" straddles, and I limp [6d] on button.

Pot $50. Flop [Qd][Jd]. Checked to me and I bet $30. Only "action man" calls and hes UTG.

Pot $110. Turn . He checks and I bet $100. He calls.
Pot $310. River . He checks. Anyone bet this? Not for value but to make him fold a middle .

Hand #1)

Are they cool enough to value bet an 8 or are they the types that are definately just gonna be happy to check it back and hope nobody has spades? If they are scared bet out like $175.

If they are brave/wreckless CRAI.

Hand #2)

Surely you jest.

#2: I bet $80 or so here. To Xas: If they're scared, how are they calling $175 on the river in a $225 pot? Also, with the CRAI, it looks like it's going to be LP who's most inclined to bet, and I hate to exclude MP here, who may well have a lower flush or even call with two pair or a set. I don't think he's continuing if you go with a CR.

#3: I don't bet.

#2) I checked, MP bet $100, button folded and I called. Im not sure why I never even considered a CRAI because it so obviously the best play. Even moreso after watchign this guy play some more. No way in hell he wouldve folded a smaller flush and maybe not an 8 (which is what he had).

#3) I checked behind and he showed [5d]. MHIG
