1) doesn't he need to have complete air a really high percentage of the time for this to be good? He has to call all 12 out draws and you have 4 high. Am i missing something?

2) i think its an alright call

3) good, seems standard whats the question?

1) his turn raise makes no sense really, but id just fold... also ur flop miniblock thing is weird and so is ur turn betsizing... dont rly know what u were thinking? seems like a bit of a mess, tho in isolation the turn shove itself might be ok, but definitely not firmly in the good category.

2) raise/fold flop is def optimal vs this fish and id lean towards raise.

the rest of the hand leaves u playing guessing games with mr. fish who might be bluffing with better or doing other random horseshit a large % of the time and thats not how u make money.

3) 180 on turn, 225-315 on river

1. My flop bet is just a small cbet. Turn is a slightly below 3/4 pot second barrel. Why is the turn bet size bad?

2. I put villain on a draw or a small pair here so my reasons for not raising were: 1. Fish don't fold draws (and fish don't fold period) 2. My hand isn't good enough to play a big pot with but I have very good equity against his range 3. It's fairly easy to see if he hits or not 4. Fish like to bluff the river when they miss.

3. I thought that villain has air here a lot of the time, so I decided to let him throw out another barrel on the river.

I just don't get hand 2.. why is this not very often Kx?

yea i dont really get hand 2 tbh - hate it when im led into after raising preflop - dont know, probobly dump the river

Hand 1: spew.

Hand 2: I like it. On these drawy flops fishes like to bet their draws so you can just call and let him donk off his money. Raising just puts you in a tough spot. If he was testing the waters with like 88, he will back off on turn and you will be able to steal the pot with a double barrell (even a fish won't call that). If he had top pair, a fish would probably c/r. So a big part of his range is a missed draw so I really like your line.

Hand 3: I like it. I don't see a reason for doing anything else.

Lol at bumping this last years post, but here's results:

Hand 1. Villain called with a set of sixes.

Hand 2. Villain lost with QT.

Hand 3. Villain called with 88.

weeee i got #1 and 2 right

1- really seems like set or air, i fold pretty much always
2-calling 2 streets is ur worse option here, raise flop or just fold
3-raise turn seems good, value river if checked to

1. defo fold
