    Default Weak or correct?

    I hit some winning hands! Because I've been having such an awful run I'm not sure if I played these right. Comments appreciated.

    Villan is confusing. Controlled loose aggressive.

    This was probably just weak. I felt the guy might have had TT or 9T (yeah).

    Hand #1:

    Re-raise the turn. They MIGHT have hit a straight, but you just hit a set. There's no reason to think you're behind yet, just bet. Make them pay for that gutshot draw.

    Hand #2:

    That check on the flop from your opponent shows weakness. Moreover, he only called you afterwards. Re-raise and see what happens from there. If he caps, call and then call a river bet. If he merely calls a re-raise on the turn, then you may get a chance to lead out with a bet on the river that'd he probably just call.

    Did you have any reads on this guy BTW? It might make it easier to tell what decision would be the best.

    1st hand. I was worried about the flush too.

    2nd hand. He was new to the table. Seemed weak, but even they hit cards...

    Second hand i would reraise this river, he probably got a ten the way he played it.

    Default Re: Weak or correct?

    Hand 1 you have to raise the turn. Calling is weak. He may have just hit two pair, a striaght draw, a flush draw, or some combination of pairs and draws. Or he may have nothing worthwhile at all, just trying to rep something.

    If you get re-reaised, you are probably beaten, but at least you have a decent redraw. Call the turn and take this to showdown (smile and raise the river if you hit your redraw; cry and call the river if you don't).

    Hand 2 is closer I think, but I still 3-bet. Call down if you get 4-bet.
