Hand 1: Villain is 45/13/1.89 over 66 hands. He's basically repping trips or a boat making this a standard fold right? Is it likely he could be bluffing on this board?

$0.10/$0.20 No Limit Holdem

Stacks:
UTG ($27.13)
Hero ($20)
CO ($20)
BTN ($6.72)
SB ($7.39)
BB ($21.49)

Pre-Flop: ($0.30, 6 players) Hero is UTG+1
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.70, CO calls $0.70, 3 folds

Flop: ($1.70, 2 players)
Hero bets $1.40, CO calls $1.40

Turn: ($4.50, 2 players)
Hero bets $2.40, CO raises to $6, $3.6 to Hero ($15.5)?


Hand 2: No reads but this is a standard cbet right I think?

$0.10/$0.20 No Limit Holdem

Stacks:
Hero ($19.70)
UTG+1 ($20.30)
CO ($12.30)
BTN ($31.35)
SB ($21.95)
BB ($19.80)

Pre-Flop: ($0.30, 6 players) Hero is UTG
Hero raises to $0.70, UTG+1 calls $0.70, CO calls $0.70, 3 folds

Flop: ($2.40, 3 players)
Hero ($19)?


Hand 3: UTG is 26/9 over 110 hands, CO is 41/29 over 76 hands and SB is 65/34 with 20% 3bet over 38 hands. I reckon folding here is too nitty. 4betting I like the most but UTG's range is most likely pretty tight. Calling is the worst I feel.

 Three pretty interesting hands, chrisa.

1. His range is pp's and 7x imo, about half of which we're ahead of depending on your estimates. The question is whether he'd bluff the 55/66 type hands. I think lots of players would raise the 88/99/TT type hands. That said, our read is that he doesn't bluff much. It's close but I'm calling and praying for (a Q obv or) an A, K, or 2-7 on the river, where I can hopefully see a cheap showdown.

2. AJs is one of those borderline UTG hands that I go back and fort on. This is a spot where it sucks, since tons of players will flat with AQ behind us. Multiway, that's even more likely. If we're going to open it, we've gotta cbet it. In this case, we actually have a bit of back door value with diamonds FD possible which is the main reason we can open AJs UTG but not so much AJo. Currently, I play AJs UTG on any table where there's no decent TAGG-reg to my left. With no reads, I probably play it and cbet this flop. What's your plan for a turn where you get called in two spots?

3. I really like this preflop spot. The stack sizes make it really interesting. Without the CO, I might even shovel trying to get all in against the SB's half stack. But we're really deep against the CO which means we'll only get action from him when we're absolutely crushed. I suggest a 4b to ~$6. I think we're still ahead of both CO's and SB's range, and the nice thing is that UTG has to play his cards face up. AQ, JJ, TT probably flat or fold, AK/KK+ shovel. An interesting thing about 4betting here is that we're last to act if anyone behind us decides to 5b shovel. If UTG goes all-in and then the CO folds/SB jams, we probably have enough equity to call the all-in. There's lots of combinations, but we get to evaluate with everyone else having acted in front. If we flat this and UTG/CO raise it up, we have a much more difficult decision.

Hand 1 is a tough spot, since we raised pf i think this takes alot of the 7x hands out of the picture and we beat almost all pp's that could make this type of move on us so its tough spot but I think we have to just over shove for all the value we get out of 88-jj and maybe some 44-66.

hand 2 even though AJs isn't the best i still play it utg in 6max. I feel like a 5bb pf raise is better here to isolate as AJ isn't very good in multi way. When we flop our ace we have to lead the flop for at least half pot as the flat calls are many times small pp's, maybe Ax suited. Fold to a raise. If we get flatted on the flop we shut it down and try to keep the pot small after that.

Hand 3 we definatly have to flat that 3x 3bet. At this level AK and AQ get 3bet alot as well as 99+. If the ace or king comes shut it down and usually b/f a flop of unders.

Please don't bet 5 BB pre since all you'll do is insure that opp's continuing range absolutely crushes AJ.
