Vi-Zer0Skill is on a distinguished road
 The 600NL tables were looking super soft this morning so i sat down at a couple tables.

1). Villain is a 40/12 and aggressive. Besides calling down pretty light he seems to be playing okay. I ran a bluff against him earlier and he called me down. The first hand is the bluff.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO ($299.75)
Button ($680.20)
SB ($520.25)
BB ($203.70)
UTG ($693.75)
Hero ($600)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 6, 8.
1 fold, Hero raises to $24, 1 fold, Button calls $24, 2 folds.

Flop: ($57) J, T, 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $42, Button calls $42.

Turn: ($141) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $112, Button calls $112.

River: ($365) 2 (2 players)
Hero bets $202, Button calls $202.

Final Pot: $769

He had K-Jo


Here is the hand im wondering about: Do you like a small turn lead (~200) or a small overbet shove better? It took place about a half hour after the first hand.

MP ($269.85)
CO ($1339.70)
Button ($841.05)
SB ($594)
BB ($641.85)
Hero ($794.85)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 3, 3.
Hero raises to $24, 1 fold, CO raises to $54, 3 folds, Hero calls $30.

Flop: ($117) 7, 3, A (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $36, Hero raises to $186, CO calls $150.

Turn: ($489) 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $554.85 (All-In)


2). Villain is sitting at multiple 600NL tables. He recently stacked off on another table, but the hand was very standard. I have not gotten involved in any big pots since he sat down and i've never played with him before at a lower limit. I figured he would be betting a hand like 7-7 on the river. How is the river bet size? Is a check/shove better?

Hand 1:
Do you know anything about his 3-bet range?
If you think he'll look you up lighter by overbetting (will he call with KK?), than I think that's your best option. Otherwise I like leading small more.

Hand 2:
Do you check both turn and river here with a big pair or J?
I think you have to give up river tbh. C/r is definatly better than leading, but I don't know if and how much he'll fold 77-TT. I don't know about c/shove, not sure if he folds more for it.


(Btw hand 0 your read was villain calls down light. With all draws missing I don't think it's a good idea to triple barrel)

 Hand 1: I like the sizing, I think I could go either way on it. Versus some players I'd raise smaller on the flop and bet turn and river, some i'd raise medium and check the turn.

Hand 2: If you had 99 I think this is super sick. Idk it's really hard to tell if this is good, it depends a lot on your image. I think its decent.
